ashnwill was a long-time player of the CivCraft genre. He heard about it from the in-game chat of 2b2t, which he joined some time in 2013, and moved from there to CivCraft in early 2015. He fought on the World Police side in the Nox War of CivCraft 2.0, but later betrayed them, going on to contribute to many efforts against them over the next several years. In 2019, he founded the Latvian Soccer Dogs alliance, which sparked the Entente-Laconia War.
Biography
CivCraft 2.0
In early January of 2015, ashnwill joined CivCraft 2.0, driven by an enthusiasm for micronations and worldbuilding. Upon joining, he was advised to join a newfriend-friendly nation such as Mt. Augusta, but disregarded this advice, instead founding a hermit town called Georgia in the deep northwest of the world. This proved to be a poor decision, which caused him to almost quit from boredom several times. Desperately seeking an adventure, he randomly messaged sintralin, the leader of Libertas (later known as Nox), asking if he could join her nation. Somehow, she agreed, and he left his hermit town.
His membership in Nox was equally boring, consisting of him logging on once a week to eat food and jump around the vault hole. After several months, he was falsely accused of leaking information and was kicked from the Skype chat. In a spiteful attempt to anger their leadership, he boastfully pretended to have been leaking the entire time, leading to his addition to a Nox pearl-on-sight list. He moved back to his hermit town and built a bunker, expecting it to eventually get targeted by alt-raiders. He submitted an application to the Eden group around this time, which sounded extremely suspicious and snakey to them and was therefore never afforded a response.
Serendipitously, the Nox War broke out around this time. Taking advantage of an incident in which he was mistaken for the player The_BadAsh (due to both players being referred to as simply "ash"), ashnwill managed to acquire an invitation to the World Police's Slack group, from which they recruited fighters for tactical operations in the ongoing war. Somehow, everybody assumed he was "supposed to be there", and he managed to carve out a space for himself, being invited to many attacks on Nox infrastructure and becoming a WP ally.
Devoted 2.0
ashnwill played Devoted 2.0 from its first day in early 2016, joining SirCrowley, Thanadon, and wergo20's nation Eslenti. He had held a grudge against them from the previous Devoted map, but agreed to give it up. World Police players Crackerjack and Malen acquired alt accounts and formed an early map raiding crew known as yungmoneycrew, which targeted Eslenti immediately. ashnwill initially helped fight the raiders, but secretly switched sides (resuming his grudge) after being made aware that they were from the CivCraft WP, whom he liked more. He then did several underhanded things such as leaking the Eslenti mumble channel's access token to the raiders, allowing them to join it and troll the citizens. Eventually he suddenly attacked other citizens of Eslenti, pearling several before narrowly escaping by logging out. The raiders harassed Eslenti relentlessly, eventually causing it to disintegrate into two halves, one of which went on to found Ascalon on an island to the west.
The raider crew resumed after CivCraft 2.0 shut down, causing many of its players to migrate and create new nations to attack, such as Agora, founded by citizens of CivCraft Aurora. ashnwill pretended to join this nation and waited several days before asking Crackerjack to help him massacre its citizens, collecting 11 pearls before he himself was betrayed and pearled by Yoje. Yoje gave his pearl to Enforcer15, who attempted to transfer it to SirCrowley's vault, but was intercepted en route by Crackerjack, who killed him and freed the pearl. Several minutes afterwards, Crackerjack was pearled by mercenary FRESH_candy, and placed in wergo20's world border vault. This vault was then stealth-broken by ashnwill, repaying his debt. After lava bombing Ascalon at 6:00 AM for 4 days in a row, ashnwill was doxxed for the first time, triggering him to betray World Police leader ShadedJon on CivEx 2.0 before turning himself in to SirCrowley on Devoted.
Eventually getting over his monumental spaz attack, ashnwill returned a month later to find a changed situation on Devoted.
