The Playground Wars of [[Goon Playground]] were a series of battles and skirmishes that took place on the server in the waning months of pre-[[BMW]] [[Rust]]. The wars are widely considered to have directly caused the downfall and eventual death of Goon Playground. | The Playground Wars of [[Goon Playground]] were a series of battles and skirmishes that took place on the server in the waning months of pre-[[BMW]] [[Rust]]. The wars are widely considered to have directly caused the downfall and eventual death of Goon Playground. Conversely, the wars also led to the formation of BMW, and the eventual merging of it and [[COMMUNISM]]. | ||

One of the earlier big groups was a group that went by the name laketown. Named after their town situated on the lake in the middle of the map, the group was led by some of the more annoying personalities on the server like [[Ozmiander]]. Laketown was eventually raided by GM and other members of the server, mostly because of their shittalkking. The remnants of Laketown fled south into the desert, where they reformed under the name Gun Desert Crew. They kept up their old antics and eventually were raided again by GM, forcing most if not all of the members off the server. | One of the earlier big groups was a group that went by the name laketown.

In the north, a clan called [[FORD]], led by [[Cal Worthington]] and TheCaptain began causing trouble for the other clans on the server and flexing in the Rust thread. GM, as the leading clan on the server and self proclaimed arbiters of justice, quickly began a rivalry with FORD. The two sides traded barbs on the forums and kills in game, with no side really striking the others bases. | In the north, a clan called [[FORD]], led by [[Cal Worthington]] and TheCaptain began causing trouble for the other clans on the server and flexing in the Rust thread.

The two sides relative non-aggression ended on the night of May 13th 2015, Cal and FORD struck at the heart of GMs base in DETROIT. All of GM was slaughtered in the attack (which occurred at night so no one was actually online), as well as all of GAY in GAYVENGERS TOWER.

Not content with his domination of GM and GAY, Cal went after the next biggest target on the server: [[WUTANG]]. Led by [[Method Man]], WUTANG was a much lower key clan but still very powerful, having a very large circular base to the west of DETROIT. The attack was quick and once again done offline. Cal again went to the forums to boast of his exploits. <ref>https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3670456&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=24#post445418686</ref> | Not content with his domination of GM and GAY, Cal went after the next biggest target on the server: [[WUTANG]].

GM had spent much of the next week rebuilding after the fall of DETROIT. They spent days amassing resources to get revenge for the fallen. The counter-attack came on the 17th of May 2015, when [[Kimsemus]], [[Rejdukien]], and other GM members attacked the main FORD base with the newly added rockets. Cal happened to be the sole member of FORD online for the raid, and dutifully attempted to fend off the raiders, but was no match for a rocket to the face. | GM had spent much of the next week rebuilding after the fall of DETROIT.

When it was clear the base had fallen, Cal fell back to what was formerly the WUTANG tower. However, still heavily damaged from his own raid earlier, the base offered little resistance to GM who was still flush with resources. <ref>https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3670456&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=24#post445419018</ref> | When it was clear the base had fallen, Cal fell back to what was formerly the WUTANG tower.
