Oakhurst: Difference between revisions

[[Orinnari]] rashly declared Oakhurst's independence from [[Southshire]] after his defeat in the election. He wrongly felt that borough-ifying Oakhurst was the only way to ensure its autonomy and his ability to exercise being a lawmaker. This however inflamed recent hostilities from [[SamuelV]] who saw it as a slap in the face, and began propagating harmful characterisations of [[Orinnari]]. This matched with the general disregard given from others in the [[Commonwealth]] meant that progress in establishing Oakhurst was slow and fickle. On 18th September 2017, Oakhurst drew the ire of [[Dr_Oracle]], the owner of [[Southshire]]'s then branch of [[Empty Promises]], later citing misleading information from the Council after [[Orinnari]] sent him [https://civstorage.github.io/orinnari/oakhurst/oracle-essay/ an essay]<ref>https://civwiki.org/wiki/Orinnari#Oakhurst's_boroughification</ref>. However, after two additional weeks of casual hostility and disregard, particularly when [[Orinnari]] attempted to establish a short connection to [[Southshire]]'s rail station, he felt it would be better to relocate Oakhurst elsewhere. Oakhurst was demolished and ceded back to [[Southshire]] on 30th September 2017. At first Oakhurst was relocated to The Plantation, an area within modern day [https://civwiki.org/wiki/The_Commonwealth#Arran Arran], but after facing difficulties with a largely abandoned but nonetheless reinforced area was relocated again to a small island to the north, now known as Shen. Given the social and infrastructural isolation of Shen, this became a very inactive period for [[Orinnari]]. Oakhurst was implicitly dissolved around November 2017 when [[Orinnari]] returned to [[Southshire]] in earnest.
