A series of spam wars that occurred from December 20th, 2025 to ????????. This happened in the midst a temporary [[color ban]] on the Mainpage, so emojis had to be substituted for text color.

The primary perpetrators of these conflicts were two [[Trollbox]] migrants named [[bengobeklitava]] and [[UntitledOWOT]], who would come online several times a day to spam. During this period they experimented with a number of never before seen spam scripts, most notably ones that generated circles and other shapes. At least some of these scripts were taken from a scripter named [[GimmickCellar]].

== Wave 1 ==

A large scale [[spam]] war occured from around 1:00 ~~A.M.~~ to 6:00 ~~A.M.~~ EST on December 20th, 2025. Multiple participants~~<ref>Or it could have been one person behind all this, idk.</ref>~~ used scripts to generate large, circular patterns at Spawn, all while another scripter named [[Banksy]] covered the area with massive image pastes using their newly introduced image paster.

A large scale [[spam]] war occured from around 1:00 AM to 6:00 AM EST on December 20th, 2025. Multiple participants used scripts to generate large, circular patterns at Spawn, all while another scripter named [[Banksy]] covered the area with massive image pastes using their newly introduced image paster.

Due to the color ban, this is an unprecedented instance of spammers fighting without utilizing text colors. One spammer, [[bengobeklitava]], supplemented for this lack using pasta emojis.

Most scripted circles in OWOT are created using rays, which tend to miss certain text and leave behind intricate patterns.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200" caption="Colored spam using spaghetti emojis a.k.a.

== Wave 3 ==

The third wave started on at 1:24 AM EST on December 21st, 2025, Bengo was back once again to experiment with new shapes, though this time they met a significant obstacle in [[Schjessu]], who would consistently blot out Spawn with her own spam, thus making it a true spam war.

Several other spammers joined in at around 1:51 AM, including one who spammed links to furry porn.

Activity died down around 4:09 AM. Like with the first wave, wave 3 ended with Bengo pasting a massive diamond on top of all the spam that had accumulated.
