The No State Commune

The No State Commune, commonly known as TNSC and sometimes referred to as Tri-Nostate Area Autonomy, was a CivClassics nation/town comprised of communists, socialists and anarchists founded by RainOfPain125, located in +,- directly north of Acadia, and was publicly declared on July 22nd, 2021. It was later renamed Consortium.

History
A week or so prior to its founding, RainOfPain125 was told by Zombie_Striker that CivClassics was a fun server and invited them to come play. Initially planned to enter into Acadia, plans changed when it was realized that Acadia was mostly made up of the same people who ran Norlund on CivRealms who not only disliked, but were hostile towards Rain.

Instead Rain decided to start a town north of Acadia. The area was specially chosen because it was close enough to Acadia maintain contact and do fun stuff with Zombie, but far enough that conflicts would be less likely to occur. Though it was especially chosen because the area sat on a point where three different biomes collided together, hence why jokes about the Tri-State Area and Doofenshmirtz were involved.

Rain invited his political peers to come play; and did not commit to any advertising campaigns to attract any civ or non-civ players to join, unlike with his previous experiments such as the Industrial Workers of the World. There was no plans to create a gigantic nation, organization, or to rival any particular nations - everyone wanted to chill, build, and have fun. Zombie would provide some resources to help the town out in the beginning, often visiting to say hello, give gifts, or other such polite gestures.

Acadia Conflict
Rain was well aware of the war-hawks that existed in the Acadian government, the same ones that occupied political positions in Norlund, a nation Rain was formerly apart of. The Norlund King at the time Shameless_Shamus unjustly pearled Rain for no valid reason on a "casual visit" to his town the Paris Commune, violating Norlish laws and creating a great sense of mistrust in the Norlund government which lead to Norlund collapsing into a bloody, messy civil war.

Despite the way lots of Acadian government members treated Rain formerly in Norlund, peace and co-existence was always the most clear and obvious option for all members of TNSC. And yet conflicts with Acadia started from the very beginning, despite TNSC's intentions to be a pacifist and relaxed nation.

JuniorTide's house "griefed" with signs
JuniorTide reported and provided a screenshot of one of his Acadian homes sporting signs on the front such as "NORTH KOREA BEST KOREA" and other kinds of left-leaning statements. With no evidence, he accused Rain as the one who made them. Rain fired back reminding JuniorTide that he was an Anarchist and is against the North Korean dictatorship. On top of this, Rain had only very recently joined CivClassics and was still in the +,+ territory, nowhere near JuniorTide's home. Despite having no evidence to support his claim that Rain put signs around his home, he publicly threatened to "glass" him.

Pentigrass incident
At some point a new user joined CivClassics named Pentigrass, he was invited by Rain and was new to the Civ genre. He was told multiple times to treat people kindly and to not raid or steal anything along his journey to TNSC land. Despite these warnings he started to break into things until he was caught and pearled in Icenia.

Frustrated with himself and being pearled, he tried to lie and claim that Rain ordered him to raid and steal, believing it would give him a "lighter sentence" until he later admitted to throwing Rain under the bus trying to lie about it. Despite Pentigrass admitting his own wrong doing, many who disliked Rain stuck with this new false narrative that Rain was out to incite violence and raiding among the community. The first incident was the Pentigrass Conflict, whereby members in Acadia tried to run with the rumors and make Rain out to be an enemy that needs to be dealt with.

hawkeye0066-Acadia incident
This idea of Rain being a nefarious untrustworthy malicious raider was further propagandized when another member of TNSC who was new to Civ - hawkeye0066 - who was brand new to Civ, and against our warnings, decided to start raiding and stealing things in Acadia just like Pentigrass. He was caught, and we told him to return what he stole and turn himself in, which he did. We held him accountable for his bad behavior! This situation was almost immediately resolved, infact people in Acadia offered him a house and citizenship.

Rain's Mining Trip
On July 27th, 2021 Rain was mining for ore underground at bedrock level when he stumbled across mines that other players had already dug out. However, these users seemed to only be interested in diamonds because they had left all other ores - iron, redstone, lapis - ores which TNSC required. While mining along these pathways he came across an underground bunker, walking around inspecting it to find a sign of ownership until Egi logged on. Egi was concerned at first, but seemed more peaceful as he advised Rain that he was in Acadia territory, demanding that he leaves and mines elsewhere. Rain was perfectly fine with adhering to these orders, following them immediately as a sign of friendship and understanding.

Acadia Raids TNSC's Bunker
By tomorrow on July 28th, 2021 when Rain logged in he found that TNSC's only bunker was completely broken into and robbed. A quick look through the snitch logs revealed the horrible truth - Acadia was responsible, the members of the raiding party consisted of JuniorTide (Citizen of Acadia & Icenia), Egi (Acadian Minister of "Defense"), and Polygondwana (Poly is probably an alt). The three man raiding party completely destroyed the bunker and stole everyone's gear. Sometime after the assault TNSC players logged on and found the bunker in ruins, realizing that Acadia was responsible Rain and TNSC issued an angry international dispute to the CivClassics subreddit.

The raiding party received little to no consequences as a result of raiding the newfriend bunker, never being held accountable for their toxic actions. On the same day that the raid was revealed to the international community, a vote was held in Acadia against Egi for "Impeachment of Egi as Minister of Defense due to unauthorized use of force against TNSC". The vote failed with only 1 in favor, 6 against, and 2 abstaining. Icenia seemed to commit absolutely no punishment against JuniorTide, not even removing him from Icenia, or denouncing him, demoting him, etc. Polygondwana is a name nobody is familiar with, so it is assumed that they are an alt.

TTastic, Okx, MrJeremyFarmer Raid
After announcing to the international community what Acadia had done, many TNSC members did not know what to do - whether they should quit the server or move far away from Acadia and so on. Though it didn't take long for others to exploit our panic and weakeness.

Later in the same day, a raiding party sponsored by an unknown organization / nation came to attack. At first Okx came to pearl Rain and Zombie, but the two of them fought hard enough to get him to retreat away from the bunker. Okx was already caught wandering around TNSC hitting snitches, and failing to provide a reason for his unannounced visit.

Not long after, the full raiding party came consisting of TTastic, Okx and MrJeremyFarmer with intent to pearl everyone with no reason provided. Their mission failed as Zombie, Rain, and all other members successfully evaded being pearled.

TNSC took to the international community again on the same day, exposing them for their shitter behavior against the newfriend town. After taking a break to think and breath, TNSC returned to the international community a day later on July 29th to clear things up and provide all the evidence everyone would ever need, mostly via video proof.

It was unclear what nations Okx, TTastic and MrJeremyFarmer belonged to, but it is clear that they were never held accountable or punished for their shitter behavior. We believed Okx was apart of Yoahtl, which they claimed he sort of was and then said they weren't going to do anything to hold him accountable, nor were they going to take responsibility for his actions.

Rumors Spread like Wild Fire
After all of these events, all kinds of jibber jabber and rumors were floating around. Acadia made testimony on how they think their actions were justified but ultimately were debunked by TNSC.

"Rain was breaking into our bunker"
Rain was accused of running around near the Acadian bunkers to try and bust open a vault and free someones pearl. This claim that Rain was breaking into any bunkers or vaults is never substantiated or backed up in any capacity beyond logs of him walking past the bunker, and to further prove it wrong Rain uploaded a video of his mining trip that brought him near the Acadian bunkers, proving to the community that he was never at any point trying to break in, it also shows his conversation with Egi that night.

"Rain's goons were raiding everyone"
This was already proven wrong in the Pentigrass incident and Hawkeye0066 incident sections. Essentially they tried to justify shitting on us by citing incidents that were already resolved.

"Zombie was funnelling commies into Acadia"
Due to Rain and Zombie's friendship, and Zombie being a member of Acadia, it made her an easy target to lay blame against. A user FE_Flags ran the Acadian communist party and accused Zombie, claiming that she had a whole scheme where Rain would recruit new commies into the Acadian communist party in order to sway elections, and in return Rain would get diamonds or something like that. There was no evidence to back this claim, and Rain wasn't even aware of any kind of deal. As far as Rain was concerned if such a deal was ever proposed, then it was never agreed upon or committed to.

Acadian Senator Tsar Ivan, run by FE_Flags, spoke with Zombie_Striker directly, in which an admission of funneling Acadian funds into the hands of RainOfPain125 in exchange for recruits into Acadia which never came. Though one could believe this conversation was intended to expose Flags as someone who would betray Acadia, considering the "deal" was never acted upon and was merely discussed - in which case this perfectly incriminates Flags.

"Zombie sabotaged Acadia"
A player in Acadia accused Zombie of breaking a factory after the raid on TNSC's bunker, claiming it must have been an act of sabotage but with no hard evidence. Zombie in light of these two accusations quietly left CivClassics to distance herself from the drama and the rumors against her. TNSC joked that she should obby bomb Acadia, but of course she never intended on doing it.

A member of Acadia Bloof_ would later go on to threaten Rain on CivMC, believing he had told Zombie to sabotage Acadia's diamond factory among other things.

TNSC Post-War
With Rain and Zombie out of the picture due to what had occurred, the remaining newfriends of TNSC continued despite having lost so much. They rebranded the nation as Consortium in their attempt to disassociate with what had happened. They pretended to hate Rain in order to gain the trust of Acadia so that Acadia would stop raiding and being hostile towards them and the town. Meanwhile the members would invite Rain back to the town on alts so he could appreciate their progress and builds.

Acadia was willing to help Consortium back on its feet on the understanding that if they were found the be housing RainOfPain125 that they would be met with hostile actions. Bloof took to their discord to give gentle guidance if asked, as well as give multiple lessons on cybersecurity.

Rain was named as the Eternal Chairmen during his absence as a joke. He logged on for a moment and the members spammed public chat hailing him as the glorious supreme leader that would bring them to salvation, before logging off a minute later. This stirred up problems with Acadia once more, as Acadia now believed that they were hiding Rain somewhere. They told Acadia and other nations that they were not, and yet those nations refused to believe it. In a final attempt to save themselves, the members bluffed, saying they know the coordinates where he had logged off and would only tell them if everyone remained peaceful. They did not care and proceeded to pearl all of the newfriends - and unknowingly pearled Rain's alt - and then released him along with the rest of them later.

All these events lead to the town slowly decaying and losing its way, depreciating into a project none of the members no longer wanted to contribute to, due to having to lie and pretend towards their bigger neighboring bullies.
