The Oudorp Riots of 1702 were a series of riots in Oudorp, Sankt Ludwigshafen that initiated as protest against the low performance of Sankt Ludwigshafen in Microvision 2021. Particularly the fact that the singer, who was born in Oudorp when it was still part of Zandarijn, Craitland, received no points at all from Craitland infuriated the Ludwiggian population, who had inexplicably assumed the Craitish public would vote favourably to this fact. The Bezirkbürgerwehr Oudorp responded to the riots by imposing a curfew from 5 PM to 6 AM after Ludwiggian rioters took to the streets to attack symbols of Craitish governance over Zandarijn. They were seen throwing an effigy of Craitman VI from the quay into the sea and burning the orange, white and blue flag of Zandarijn in the marketplace. No serious injuries were reported. The curfew was lifted after a week.

Reaction from the Ludwiggian Reformed Church

On Sundays following the riots, preachers in parishes belonging to the Ludwiggian Reformed Church stressed that the events since the Sack of Hamstadt were traumatic, but that they did not absolve believers of the need to practice forgiveness.
