Wayfinders and PACT come to a diplomatic talk within the Stronghold, Wayfinders offering a ceasefire to PACT in exchange for a "rare item or relic". After listing some possibilities, Wayfinders and PACT have decided not to go through with the ceasefire, and the conflict will continue.

This time with no Backrooms Colonist Group and The Syndicate acting as an Offensive force for the Wayfinders, swapping to Defensive alongside Protectorate Order and M-State, leaving the Wayfinders as the only active fighting force alongside Brotherhood County, and the Huntsmen.

Wayfinders, through public frequency, stated that they will no longer recognise Beacon as a DMZ. This came as a shock to Protectorate Order who has been protecting beacon since their survivor days. This resulted in ASYNC halting friendly operations with Wayfinders such as building defenses in Beacon, trade, and restricted access inside of their base.

Sometime durnig the middle of the week, Gifter and Atticus plan to cease the war by having the two leaders duel. Gifter, fighting for Partycrashers, and Atticus Vogul, fighting for the Wayfinders. They settled on the Friday of this week, and promised no foul play. They led spectators and guards to a place in level 0 just shy of the Stronghold and to an arena. After a well fought match, Atticus appeared to give up, but at a second's notice (and for a lack of a better word) sucker punched Gifter, causing mass hysteria to go throughout the ring. Atticus fled through a Noclip point that was stationed near his dueling starting point.

Soon after, he was caught by Cas Vindicta, who stated that under vote of the Wayfinder Council, Atticus Vogul's title is to be stripped from him, and his duties relieved. He has essentially been demoted to a regular Wayfinder.

Wayfinders have waged war on the Factions of PACT (PC, LRA, CF, TF, LOTUS, TUFP). The P.O, under Wayfinders, will not be engaging actively in the conflict. Unsure if MEG or ASYNC will partake, it is likely that they will refrain.

The Wayfinder VS PACT War will officially start on Friday 13th. On the Wayfinder side is the Protectorate Order and Global M-State defending the Stronghold. The Syndicate and Backrooms Colonist Group are taking in arms to support the Wayfinders. This group is the Four Banner Alliance Coalition.

On PACT's side is the Partycrashers, Conservatore Festae, Mudskippers, Helena's Men (Former Wayfinders), and Next Step. (NS having an Armstice with PartyCrashers to fight against the Wayfinders.)

Shaun T Vogul, one of the two theorized Lacterators, was recently released from Atticus Vogul's watch, leader of the Vogul family within Wayfinders, into a different sector of the Backrooms. The view on Atticus' decision is low, as the Lacerator killed indiscriminately, killing YW, MEG, ASYNC, and even Wayfinders. This sours view of the Wayfinders in some people's eyes.

Wayfinders have brought in two Counties, the Brotherhood County who are melee based, and the Huntsmen who are long-range based. The Huntsmen are supposedly out of Wayfinders hands and will not follow DMZ's. This means Beacon, Level 9, and Dead Mall are not safe for PACT members.

Bird heard that the Major Explorer's Group and ASYNC did a joint raid on the Yellow Warrior's checkpoint down in the Basement of Inourtia (L-21) on Jan31st. It resulted in the MEG and ASYNC forces to fall back. Unknown casualties on either side, although Bird hears that MEG and ASYNC lost more than YW.

YW continues to assault MEG and ASYNC, raiding PPR on Feb03. Most likely YW will continue to pursue MEG and ASYNC for the raid on their checkpoint for the forseeable future.
