Not even his favorite chamomile tea could calm him anymore, only (Y/N) could. It wouldn't be much harm to have her, right? He could use some extra company in the lonely house. But what if the others want her as well?
Britain won't allow that.

Originally posted September 6th, 2020 Updates and notes will use the dd/mm/yyyy date format. I'm probably going to leave this up when all is over, since it might be an interesting time capsule to come back to and remember the strange times.
To start, I sincerely apologise to any Readers of this story who are expecting a new part. But I want a place other than my wall to post this to get more attention.
Tl;dr: Rumour has it that CH Wattpad stories and accounts will be raided with the intention of deleting them. Various Authors are taking precautions to protect their work. Below is an app I'm using to backup everything so this story will stay up.
Edit: There are groups that, though indifferent to the CH fandom, have expressed support for us. So don't go out attacking the entire Polandball fandom, okay?
So what's going on?:
Story goes that a girl who made gacha CH videos on tiktok was a victim of a dox and was scared off the site. I don't have much info on the situation, but allegedly it won't stop from there. It's believed that there are people who are going to raid different social media to target the CH community and diddle daddle everything up. People suspect our parent community, the Polandball fandom, are behind it all.
But hey! That's just a theory, A GA-
So what should I do about it?:
If you ask me, I'm standing my ground; I will not unpublish my story or hide CH stuff on my account in case it's all a false alarm. Instead, I downloaded an app called Private Notepad to backup everything. To copy text from your story, go to editing mode. The logo for the app looks like this:
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
The app can sync with an email account to store backups in the cloud as well, so any device with the app will allow you to access your backups.
Edit: It has come to my attention that this app is only on Google Play. After some digging, I found an app that should be similar for Apple devices. It is called Secure notepad - Private notes.
Remember: If this raid actually happens and you do what I did, you still risk losing views, votes, and comments on your story.
If any new info on the situation catches my attention, I will edit this to stay up to date. This is the BBC news, signing out.
UPDATE 1 06/09/2020: According to a blog post by an admin on the Polandball wiki, a user raided the Countryhumans wiki on behalf of them. On the blog, the admin has sided with the CH fandom and condemned any hostile acts towards this community. Source also says they are working to punish members who are caught partaking in raids.
Note 1 06/09/2020: Remember to stay calm and to think reasonably about the situation. I feel some people in this fandom are starting to feel resentment towards the Polandball fandom, which I discourage. I firmly believe the community as a whole has no ill intentions towards us, but rather it's the work of some bad apples.
Also, if you notice a CH book missing, check in with the Author before assuming it has been deleted by a raid. They may have simply unpublished it for the time being, as it's a heavily promoted solution towards Authors.
Update 2 06/09/2020: Rumours are circulating of a future raid taking place in October— but as of now, there are no sources that confirm any such plans by raiders.
Update 3 06/09/2020: Opposition for the raid is also coming from Reddit's r/CountryhumansCringe. A thread on the subreddit features the following pinned comment from a subreddit moderator:
"To those supporting the raiding, fuck you man, imagine raiding a book. You’re not a better person for raiding, report the book and move on. Even if it’s supporting rape, pedophilia, incest, etc. raiding is harassment and harassment is not okay. Rape, pedophilia, and incest are disgusting, yes. But c’mon, be the bigger person. Raiding is immature and childish."
Other comments in the thread also share similar opinions, condemning the raiders.
Update 4 07/09/2020: Concern for the raid has died down to some degree. Some people have taken to call it a hoax, which I agree to some extent.
I will not entirety agree with calling it a hoax, as there are cases of attacks towards the community. But I believe the potential severity of attacks were overblown(which is why I only backed my story up, not unpublish it). I can't speak for other social media, but if books here were being mass reported for being in a certain community, Wattpad admins would've noticed and caught on to the raid.
I also have some growing skepticism towards the tiktok story. I've heard it many times, but how is that no further information has surfaced? Or am I missing something? No one has even said the username of the person who was allegedly harassed.
Update 5 08/09/2020: According to a post, the CH community on Quotev has suffered as a result of the raid. Report says that some books have been removed off the site.
Unfortunately, one of those deleted stories was an unfinished story I liked. Damn it.
