Oakhurst: Difference between revisions

[[Orinnari]] began building in the area in early August 2017 after one too many snitch pings from his home in [[Southshire]]'s [[:File:Downtown Southshire.png|downtown area]] motivated him to seek a quieter place to reside. Not wanting to leave [[Southshire]] however, he moved to the untouched and out of the way mini-peninsular to the south-east, constructing what would later be referred to as the "soap coloured palace" by [[Dr_Oracle]].

Oakhurst was later declared autonomous by [[Orinnari]] on the 19th August 2017 when he retired from the Council for stress related reasons <ref>https://civwiki.org/wiki/Orinnari#Oakhurst's_creation</ref>. His goal was to create a loose facsimile to the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrObZ_HZZUc City of London], thuscementing this by declared himself the Lord Mayor of Oakhurst<ref>https://civwiki.org/wiki/Orinnari#Oakhurst's_creation</ref>. Later, on 28th August 2017, [[Orinnari]] negotiated - with the help of [[Charlameme]] - the means to temporarily suspend Oakhurst's autonomy should he be successfully re-elected to the Council<ref>https://civwiki.org/wiki/Orinnari#Returning_to_Southshire</ref>. This however ended up not happening and the agreement was declared null and void.

After [[Orinnari]]'s defeat in the election, he impulsively declared Oakhurst a separate entity, a borough unto itself, believing it the only way he could exercise law-making ever again. 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 casual disregard 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 best to relocate Oakhurst elsewhere. Oakhurst was dismantled and ceded back to [[Southshire]] on 30th September 2017. At first, Oakhurst was relocated to The Plantation, an area within modern day [[The Commonwealth#Arran|Arran]], but after facing difficulties with a largelyan abandoned butyet nonethelesslargely 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]] [[Orinnari#Returning to Southshire, really this time!|returned to Southshire]].
