Operation Overkill refers to the pre-planned massacre conducted by the Order of The Sanctum upon MRV1RUS and his compatriots on the 10th of October, 2025. This operation was the most discussed, scrutinized, and debated about among Order leadership and members. It was also the largest military action initiated by the Order, and perhaps on the server as a whole. Members from the Pumpkin Cult also participated in the killings. This information was declassified on the 6th of December, 2025.
Planning stage
The Order's Grand Warden, Grand Knight, Grand Mason, and Centurions were first alerted by Centurion noavier about an impending wave of joins from a youtuber named MRV1RUS. Noavier had noticed his name in the "content creator" tab of the LHC discord, and had reached out to him about his plans on the server. Upon being informed that Virus was planning to bring in a group that numbered in the 20s, noavier utilized his Australian background (Virus also being Australian) to infiltrate their discord server. From this discord, noavier provided a limited list of usernames to Order Officer Corps. Noavier had gone through with these actions for the sake of preparing for the worst, and intelligence gathering, and among the usernames he discovered many notable PvP players. Specifically Korok, also a well known player killer in the Australian pvp community. After discovering the fact that Virus's group consisted of PvPers and not much else, he was ready to inform the Officer Corps that a genocide was needed to save the server from ruin. Discarding the fact that a youtuber joining may overwhelm the join queue and disallow veterans a chance to join and play, Virus's group was supposed to consist of players eager to kill and dominate the server. A debate over course of action was discussed among the Order's Officers, ranging from straight unwarranted killings, the assassination of just Virus himself, the utilization of lag machines to prevent play from the joins (this idea was scrapped for going against server policy). Eventually the decision was no decision, as the officers were unable to come to a decisive conclusion.
The Join Day
On October 10th, in the evening, Virus and his followers joined all at once, raising the player count to the 40s. With a given list of names, the Order alerted its members and to scatter out and survey the spawn region. For almost half an hour Order knights and officers scoured the spawn region until finally a member of the Virus team leaked some coordinates in public chat. Order Knight Arius_Void arrived at the destination with others. After a few minutes with no activity, the other OTS members left, and yet Arius stayed in the hopes of spotting them underground. His efforts would prove to go rewarded, as he was able to spot members of Virus's team underground. Within minutes, the Order strike force descended upon the group of 3 iron players and did... nothing. Order knights were unsure how to proceed, as the Officers were still debating course of action. Eventually it was finally decided that only Virus himself should be killed, as he was the true threat. This fear of youtubers descended from the idea that a pvper oriented content creator would draw other pvpers to the server, and threaten its playerbase. After hanging around the group of players hoping for the arrival of Virus himself, he finally showed his face. The Order had an agent posted in a tree under invisibility, and as Virus's group clustered around their leader, TheCosmicalKing purportedly told the agent, "Make it count". After this approval, the agent teleported next to the group and activated a glowstone anchor, killing MRV1RUS, Korok, and one other player. The Order then staged a chase on the agent, and remained in the area around Virus's remaining teammates, under the pretense of protecting them. On a quick spur decision, TheCosmicalKing, advised by Ridan_Angel authorized the killing of the rest of Virus's teammates to prevent revenge kills. When the sun rose the next day, a total of 13 players had been killed by the Order, and a few from the Pumpkin Cult.
Aftermath
After Operation Overkill was executed, Order members proceeded under the hope that their cause was just. The general consensus of Order members was that the genocide was for the good of the server, and those killed would have caused mass havoc, and the upending of the current status quo. CountlessMC, among the killed, posted a video on the server, detailing his experience. In the video, Countless describes how Virus's plans were to "create a cult, and take over the server". Confirming many of the fears that OTS members held. As a whole, the Operation would be completely classified and stored into the annals of Order history, before being declassified to the public.
