The Blue Turtle Alliance reformation controversy occurred during the week of June 27, 2009 when Master-Debator announced he was reforming the Blue Turtle Alliance. The Aquatic Brotherhood disputed this reformation and claimed, as they are it's successor, they maintain the rights to the BTA name. The dispute was eventually resolved in that the new BTA and TAB would attempt to ignore each other and live in peace. The controversy reoccured when Sileath declared war on BTA and started the Sileath-BTA War
