1st Avalon Cake Controversy

During the Avalon Meeting in the middle of the FishTown War, the hosts at Nacra, 16.png Krissofer and 16.png Vyrvin offered cake to the attendees. Almost everyone refused to eat the cake, fearing poison. 16.png Krissofer insisted it was not poisoned, and pretended to eat some, to encourage the guests. A singular United Steves honor guard member, 16.png VainAngel was ultimately the only one who did consume some of the cake. This lack of culinary participation greatly offended the hosts. However, fearing the summit be de-railed, they did not press the issue, and the meeting continued on as scheduled. 16.png VainAngel did not succumb to poison.

2nd Avalon Cake Controversy

On Oct 9 2026, Northern Emperor 16.png SFRricraz63 attended a party at Avalon. Feeling extremely hungry, he ate not 1, not 2, not 5, but 8 full-sized 1-square meter cakes. This elicited extreme negative reactions in the international media, with high-ranking Avalon official 16.png Pittofer condemning this action. 16.png SFRricraz63 pled for mercy, including an appeal to United Steves Commander-in-Chief 16.png Bawhoppen for support. Being treaty-bound allies (see the Treaty of VillageTown), 16.png Bawhoppen issued a small personal rebuke, but largely dropped the matter. However, this ultimately did accelerate the strain on already deteriorating diplomatic relations between both nations.
