== History ==
=== First Shot, Nylius ===
The glitch was first discovered by Nylius (then Orbitus) back in 2014 while experimenting with and looking for glitches to kill time playing Graal after he rejoined the [[FoV|Fist of Vengeance]] (FoV). While playing around with user permissions and guild tags, he found that by following a simple formula, the guild tab will glitch and another tag will be taken by the server as your guild tag for a certain time period. Understanding the potential for its grave misuse, Nylius never used it aside from editing the guild news of one of the FoV subtags, specifically Fist of Valour, from time to time, increasingly so when the guild began to slowly whither away due to its age.
There were instances, however, wherein Nylius used the glitch against FoV's enemies during wartime, specifically towering guilds which fought against FoV. After some time, it fell into disuse and Graal would not see it be used until around two years after it was used in FoV by Nylius. It remained dormant after FoV until Nylius joined Communist Aurea and later became Commissar for State Security.
Aurea had no reason to use the glitch in its early days as it was well-received by the community, having a strong and active set of officers and members. Nylius also was not in any position to even think of using it, serving as tag-holder and Colonel of the 1st Rifles Division. He was later promoted to Colonel-General and eventually Commissar for State Security after the retirement of James Dolan.
The Committee on State Security, under the supervision of Nylius and to the amusement of Kevlar, tested the glitch in multiple small guilds before classifying the "find." Nylius never revealed his pre-Aurean knowledge of the glitch in order to avoid the possibility of being outcasted from the community for having spearheaded something so sinister, similar to what happened to Xiao for a time when he was outed as Roanoke Han and led the State's Alchemist Program.
The nuke, as it was then labelled by the higher-ups in Aurea, was first officially used in the context of the Military Community against Sarovia. An operative was recruited by Aurean infiltrators into Sarovia's multiple tags and was able to wipe out the entirety of Sarovia in minutes. Lips were sealed and no one knew about how and why it happened, only that it was by Aurea. The nuke and its instructions were kept classified until Nylius revealed it to Xiao under the assumption that it will be brought up to the staff team to be patched.
