- "I just did it for the lolz"
— Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, seeing a nuke from Spamingrad over Tehran
The One Hour War was a short war. While not as grand nor as immediately threatening as the Seven Hour War waged by the Combine in Half-Life 2, it left the world coated in a blanket of spam that disrupted global activity for months.
Background
- See also: DRAW Your Own Story 11
As the Hacker started to take down many Internet sites, including CivFanatics's own Off-Topic forum, world leaders panicked, unable to figure out what to do in light of the situation.
Spamingrad nuked
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, frustrated at the inability to vent his ramblings and holocaust denials to the Western world, launched a barrage of nuclear missiles at one specific location on Earth that no one cares about, CurtSibling's city of Spamingrad.
Spamingrad was struck five times by Iranian nukes; in retaliation, the automated self-defense system on standby since CurtSibling's hiatus in DRAW Your Own Story 5 launched spam missiles back at Iran.
Aftermath
Even though the conflict only encompassed two nations and lasted a single hour, it left a devastating effect on the world: while the spam missiles destroyed Iranian yellow cake factories, the nukes detonated the spam reserves, creating radioactive monkeys spam that covered the globe, forcing higher-tier debaters to retreat to fallout shelters. Those brave few who stayed behind spent weeks, even months attempting to bring their discussions back on track.
The G.E.C.K.
The Republic of Coruscant managed to quickly recover from the mess through the "Coruscanti Miracle", The Garden of Earth Creation Kit, which greatly assisted in the cleanup effort. While initial supplies of the scrubbers were limited, Coruscant eventually regained its industrial momentum and began mass-producing them for export to other nations still suffering from the spam fallout.
The hunt for the Hacker
Major Kusanagi's suspicions on the sudden outage of Internet forums (including CFC) led her to conclude that the rogue Hacker was responsible for the chaos that led to the One Hour War, and therefore indictable for the damage wrought. CivGeneral and Samus Aran were assigned to apprehend him, and so journeyed out into the ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD spam-filled >>>Unsatisfied vit your kombat performanze?

Behind the Scenes
The war itself was not depicted in DYOS 11. CivGeneral references it in one of his comics as he brings Lucifer up to speed on what happened on Earth, providing backstory to fill the lengthy gap between CivGeneral's first comic and second comic while he and Samus were in the vaults.
