=== CivEx: First Light ===
In the first days of First Light in January 2019, Des founded the small village of Atari Springs after being invited to do so by Lowtuff. The two built a Wild West-themed town together and incorporated it into [[Eastern Orthodoxy#Inception and Deviation from Catholicism|Frankonia]] to avoid conflict after the Franks claimed the area Atari Springs rested on. Des and Lowtuff abandoned the server in early February so as to not be associated with Frankonia's imperialist tendencies.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivEx/comments/akfnq5/arlington_sacked_by_emperor_of_frankonia/</ref>

After CivRev died in early January 2022, Des started playing Vintage Civ on the first day of its beta, January 4th. She brought her

==== In Danzilona ====
[[File:Napoleon me.png|thumb|An edit of Des23 as Napoleon, created by Lowtuff]]
Des was an early advocate for the foundation of a new iteration of Danzilona on [[CivMC]], and it was her and [[Lowtuff]] who initially drafted and wrote much of the constitution that would go on to found the [[Free Danzilonan Republic]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/t6icuo/discussion_the_foundation_of_the_free_danzilonan/</ref> She helped write many of the pre-server pieces of legislation, including the groundwork for a federal framework to succeed the [[Danzilonan Federation]] of 2.0 as well as the [[Concordat between the Church of Ranubis and the Free Danzilonan Republic]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/uhpk4n/discussion_a_new_danzilonan_federation/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/tpmwgi/vote_concordat_between_the_church_of_ranubis_and/</ref>
Line 67 ⟶ 81:
Des first ran for political office for the [[September 2022 Danzilonan general election]], bucking tradition (and possibly the law) and announcing her candidacy for every governmental position of Danzilona in a move that has been described as Napoleon-esque.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wy1ogx/for_the_september_elections_i_would_like_to/</ref> After one of the most controversy-filled election seasons in Danzilonan history, Des ultimately won all national governmental offices for the month. During Des's administration, the national bureaucracy was greatly expanded, with each of the [[Free Danzilonan Republic#Provinces & Territories|FDR's provinces]] receiving a Consul of their own which perform interior ministry duties.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xm8hrh/delegations_expansion_of_consular_power_and/</ref> Also occurring during her time in office was the FDR's first plot map, first bounty hunting list, and, on her last day in office, the attempted annexations of all of Danzilona's neighbours, which ultimately failed.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/x6ofs2/plot_map_of_ndz_05092022/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/xt0196/congrats_to_nara_dalgon_cdm_and_doom_city_on/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/y0o169/results_annexation_offer_to_doom_city_and_dalgon/</ref> In accordance with her campaign promise, Des did not run for re-election and retired from politics for the time being.
Following her retirement, Des became a citizen of [[Pavia]] for a couple months, where she
Des returned to Danzilonan politics when she declared her candidacy for Defence Minister in the December 2022 Danzilonan general election.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/z4yk36/election_call_for_candidates_dec_2022/iy0hd8b/</ref> She ran uncontested and took office on December 1st.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/z801k4/election_results_december_2022/</ref>
Following the failed [[2023 Danzilonan coup d'état attempt]] that she was a part of, Des self-exiled from the [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona]] and became a permanent resident of [[Cortesia Del Mar]] after being invited to do so by close ally [[yodabird19]].
==== In Cortesia Del Mar and Djani'hweh ====
Des was made a citizen of CDM on March 16, 2023. In the beginning, she helped with road work and re-located her pride flag shop from Danzilona to [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)#Concord|Concord, CDM]].
Following her self-exile from Danzilona, Des also began spending more time in the main Mery territory [[Djani'hweh]]. During the week of March 27th, she built the Mery's first library. After building the library, she transcribed the [[Rha'yatshola|''rha'yatshola'']] creation myth into an in-game book and promoted it around the server.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/129pvch/story_of_the_creation_of_the_world_the_creation/</ref> Since its writing, the book has been distributed to libraries in djani'hweh, Pavia, [[Imperial Federation (CivMC)|Imperial Federation]], [[Nara]], [[Icenia (CivMC)|Icenia]], [[Lambat (CivMC)|Lambat]], and [[Volterra]].
Des was elected as a member of the National Forum, CDM's national legislature, on May 28, 2023.<ref><nowiki>https://i.imgur.com/uL3ySRZ.png</nowiki></ref> She was quickly promoted to the role of Grand Secretary of Culture within CDM's Department of the Interior. In her capacity as culture secretary, Des organised two ice hockey games and crafted a pro-LGBT rights resolution during Pride Month.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/13zoi3d/cdms_first_ever_game_of_extreme_hockey_ended_with/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/13xfxk4/in_honour_of_pride_month_the_national_forum_of/</ref>
Following CDM's defeat in the [[SEC–Gang Shi War]], Des joined the CDM community in voting to abandon CivMC on July 3, 2023.<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=[[yodabird19]]|sender=yodabird19|date=2023-07-03|url=https://discord.com/channels/424608625357488141/556206125704413238/1125223790293561425|text=My fellow Cortesians,
A lot has happened in recent days, and I’m sure you’re all somewhat worried for our future. I would like to apologize for my recent absence, and to reaffirm my commitment to this wonderful community.
I am aware that there has been a conversation ongoing in our nation since the fateful day as to whether or not Cortesia Del Mar should attempt to remain on CivMC or not. I would like to strongly encourage that Cortesia as a community seek greener pastures elsewhere at this time, and avoid debasing itself to preserve a dream on a server that is simply no longer fit for us. The winners of this war were doxxers, obby-bombers, traitors, slanderers, and all manner of other repulsive groups antithetical to Cortesia Del Mar’s warm and welcoming ethos. While I was willing to endure the indignity of fighting them over a block game for a month or two so as to banish them, I am unwilling to seat myself on a server on which they call the shots, much less to ask all of you to do the same. I realize the gravity of these words, and I truly understand those who may feel themselves unable to tear away from what we have built and where we have played together for the past year; I have been that person more times than I would like to admit, and it is only with the benefit of several years’ experience that I seek now to abort the same insidious pattern.|channel=bulletin|server=Cortesia Del Mar|access-date=2024-01-22}}</ref> She returned to Civ following the destruction of Gang Shi in the [[War of the Icenian Coalition]], once again settling in former CDM land to clean up grief and make plans for a new nation with her friends. By late January 2024, however, those plans fell through and Des signalled her intention to fully quit CivMC once a new, "legitimate" claim was made to former CDM land.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/19d5mfv/final_remarks_regarding_former_cdm_land/</ref>
