===Joining===
Orinnari joined after the [https://old.reddit.com/r/worldpowers/ /r/WorldPowers] community Minecraft server shut down. He found himself playing the Minecraft server more than WorldPowers itself, so a friend from the subreddit ([[DarkyDu]]) suggested [[CivClassic|CivClassics]]. He

Line 11:
Not long after, [[DarkyDu]] suggested joining him in the [[Commonwealth]] where he owned the area known then as The Plantation. Orinnari accepted and began levelling out a small area of roofed forest along the south western coast. This was until [[SirCrowley]] raided the [[Commonwealth]] on 17th June 2017. At the time not much could be done but logout and hope he got bored before doing any significant damage, however everything Orinnari owned was stolen or despawned. Orinnari then attempted to make an underground base in the hopes of steering clear of any future raiders while still remaining close to population centres. This however fell flat within a day or two when he discovered how [[RealisticBiomes]] was preventing his farms from growing.
Orinnari decided to move to the [[Commonwealth]]'s then unnamed capital for more protection and integration with the community. But on 20th June 2017 he bore witness to and was the victim of an episode of [[MiloY]], who had grown angry at his fellow countrymen for surpassing an unclear boundary and so began to destroy any and all such property surpassing that boundary. This lead to a feeling of alienation since the first week or so of playing had been so unfruitful.
===Strassburg===
Line 19:
[[Fadedsoul]] invited Orinnari to join him is Strassburg, a German-themed borough within a snow biome. He accepted though he did not like the snow biome, nor the build style restrictions, so he built a cliffside house and a staircase to it. Soon after, [[StrPlatinum]] joined him in Strassburg after his own experiences with [[MiloY]].
Additional drama occurred when [[fadedsoul]] decided to remove a bridge between [[MiloY]]'s manor and Strassburg. That being said, after a frank and earnest discussion of politics, Orinnari and [[MiloY]] came to respect each other even if they didn't agree, and [[MiloY]] unexpectedly
===Founding Southshire===
Orinnari and [[StrPlatinum]] decided to search for a place to settle a new borough on 25th June 2017, as while they both appreciated [[fadedsoul]]'s hospitality, they didn't agree with [[Strassburg]]'s direction. A few potential areas were explored but

That kind of negotiating rejuvenated Orinnari's drive to be a legislator, but he also knew he wasn't a people person, which made the inevitable loss of the election even more impactful. He ran not as a John Doe, but as a co-founder, as a previous

The complete and total loss of the election lead Orinnari to believe he wasn't welcome and that if he ever wanted to legislate again, he'd need to do so elsewhere, and so when the

Hostilities between Orinnari and [[SamuelV]] reached a peak, so in early October 2017, Orinnari decided to dismantle [[Oakhurst]] and cede the land back to [[Southshire]] to relocate elsewhere. At first Orinnari returned to The Plantation, even going so far as to reconstruct the government building, but this was later abandoned as large swaths of the land was reinforced to [[DarkyDu]]'s groups. [[Oakhurst]] was then relocated again to an island just north of The Plantation, now known as Shen. The island however was small and Teal-cliff'd, thus requiring it to be lowered down to sea level to make it usable. But the move itself from [[Southshire]] turned out to be a mistake as not only was Shen isolated geographically, socially, and infrastructurally, but also because the [[Commonwealth]] refused to recognise it as a borough. This became a very inactive time for

Orinnari remained a citizen of [[Southshire]] and would often submit proposals, but he only fully returned towards the end of November 2017. Though server activity was at an all time low due to the [[

Line 86:
#'''''Receive and invitation from Yoahtl via their own processes.''''' We did not want to first secede from the Commonwealth and then find ourselves in the position of having to wait or possibly being denied, which would cut ourselves off from all federal protection and infrastructure.
#'''''Negotiate with the Commonwealth to discuss permission and concerns.''''' We wanted to make sure that our plans were acceptable to the Commonwealth as to not create an international incident, our primary concern being land.

All three conditions were met, and so we made the transition.</blockquote>On 14th January 2018, [[Southshire]] officially became an autonomous town of [[Yoahtl]].
=== "Inventory Checking" ===
On the same day that [[Southshire]] joined [[Yoahtl]] as an autonomous town, Orinnari travelled to [[Yoahtl#New Yoahtl City|NYC]] for the first time.
===Settling in Yoahtl===
[[File:First-yoahtl-shop.png|thumb|Orinnari's NYC shop]]
Progress in [[Southshire]] was slow and Orinnari's attempt to reset his sleeping pattern alienated him from the goings on in [[Southshire]], and it appeared like the population wouldn't truly recover. Orinnari decided in late February to early March 2018 to move to NYC. However he was almost immediately accosted by [[TheOrangeWizard]] for building a property outside the city trench. Orinnari quickly dismantled the property in fear of being thrown out and created a slim shop within the trenched city. This shop quickly grew in size however when 1) [[SgtSoda]] agreed to trade his plot for a larger one in the south eastern part of the city
Even with the plot's expansions, it was still dwarfed by [[5point0]]'s mansion, [[Fort Ruina]], and [[SpiderString]]'s brewery. And so he found it perplexing how [[TheOrangeWizard]] would continuously bring up and refer to Orinnari's plot size with more than

=== Moving to Bloom ===
Orinnari found himself in a frank discussion with [[ComradeNick]] on Mumble where he expressed his feelings of aimlessness, that his return to [[Southshire]], or a potential return to the [[Commonwealth]] or back to [[Yoahtl]] felt like a step back rather than moving on. [[ComradeNick]] pointed Orinnari towards [[Bloom]] as it was a new nation and most of its inhabitants were newfriends from [[towny]], so Orinnari could delve into integrating and developing them as a civ-nation. He became a citizen of [[Bloom]] on 24th June 2018.
Orinnari's shop (later christened as "Forward Settle") would soon kickstart [[Bloom]]'s economy as it brought XP and enchanted diamond tools to the market. He also quickly took interest in [[Bloom]]'s parliament, which while elected did not have the same issues that plague
[[File:Orinnari-bloom-ashford.png|thumb|Ashford's location, size, and purpose]]
In an attempt to restart his business, Orinnari claimed a portion of [[Bloom]]'s eastern territory to establish a farming district called Ashford. It would be segmented into different sections with the most important and first completed section being the tree farms, where the land was expanded into the river to allow for the growth of spruce trees. But he quickly discovered that he wasn't a power farmer, nor had motivation to create farming bots, so he kept to political matters from the safety of his bunker home within the borders of Ashford. Towards the end of 2018 Orinnari disbanded Ashford in favour of rebuilding Forward Settle within [[Bloom]]'s capital.

Line 122 ⟶ 123:
In February 2019, the O.R.I.N. rail was completed in [[Bloom]], standing for Overland Rail In the North.
In May 2019, Orinnari, [[iOminous]], and [[Alzdadog|Aleh]] began constructing a new city in [[Bloom]] called New Haven, a successor to [[iOminous]]' Haven city, a trenched city in a northern territory of [[Bloom]]. The idea was to create a larger and closer version that could fit more citizens and be directly connected via rail. [[ThirdOfFive]] soon joined in to help in its construction, but also began proclaiming that New Haven would be the new capital of [[Bloom]], despite the numerous protestations of the rest of the group. It was a particularly tenuous situation since Orinnari had spearheaded the blocking of legislation that would've privatised the government's vault hole. If they thought that legislation would be forced through to move the capital to this new trenched city to which they might not have access, it could have shut the entire project down. However, when [[ThirdOfFive]] was told categorically that New Haven would not become the new capital, he dropped out of the project, which caused a quick spiral
Orinnari switched focuses between [[Yoahtl]] and [[Bloom]] pretty regularly, but on 23rd July 2019, Orinnari was a

Orinnari shifted his primary focus to [[Yoahtl]], given that he had made promises to limit the ambition of Shen, and that [[Tigen]] had disappeared again so there was no longer a source of drama in that respect. However, around the beginning of September, both [[Sventhar]] and [[SpaceVolcano]]'s toxicity became quite acute, so much so that within the next month, [[Sventhar]] would be sued twice ([https://discord.com/channels/278045721742147586/348687557455904778/626478546289688607 <nowiki>first [settled outside of court]</nowiki>] and [https://www.reddit.com/r/CivYoahtl/wiki/judiciary/cases/aki_v_sventhar_oct_2019 second]) for toxicity and harassment.

===Problems with the Salisbury Gazette===
Following the secession of [[Ashelor]] from [[Adina]], on 20th March 2020, the [[The Salisbury Gazette|Salisbury Gazette]] published a heavily one sided and propagandised article about the recent dispute between [[Ashelor]] and [[Adina]] selectively using more dramatic quotes which deliberately left out discussions from voice chats and other channels, as well as curiously going out of its way to mention Orinnari's and [[Alzdadog|Aleh]]'s narrow defeat in the recent [[Adina|Adinan]] elections, which could imply certain untrue things to readers. Orinnari posted a [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/flnlse/salisbury_gazette_ashelor_leaves_adina_after/fkzozwn/ rebuttal] to the article's subreddit post, but it was then that he began to view the [[The Salisbury Gazette|Salisbury Gazette]] as a tabloid rather than a prestigious and unbiased news source.

=== "PSA Orimmari isn't me"===
On 13th September 2021, a new account joined Civclassics named "[[Orimmari]]", clearly a gimmick account of Orinnari. Made somewhat unsettled by this, Orinnari posted a few notifications to various discords that the account was not an alt and shouldn't be given groups. On 11th October 2021, after someone in global chat wondered how Orinnari could've joined without having logged out, he felt it best to be more active in disassociating himself with the gimmick account: this however backfired, causing interest and memery, including from [[Wingzero54]] (the admin of Civclassics) himself. As this continued, two days later Orinnari tried being more personal by making a subreddit-post explaining the gimmick account, how it made him feel uncomfortable, how the characteristic similarity of the gimmick account posed an inherent risk to security and privacy, etc, but this also backfired: the community

=== The murder of Civclassics===
On 17th November 2021, Civclassics went down for approximately two days for unknown reasons. A couple of days after restoration (21st November 2021) [[Wingzero54|Wingzero]] published an announcement in the Civclassic Official Discord going into detail about the server downtime:<blockquote>Things are winding down on CivClassic. I am closing the Bug Bounty program as I was singehandedly managing the program and will no longer be doing that. I will not be implementing any more changes and will generally not merge any code requests unless they are needed to fix issues. The server being down was because the automatic payment failed and only one person has access and did not notice. It simply took several days to get around to setting it back up. The issue was not a lack of funds. Regarding modmail, I have been handling 99% of it and going forward if your modmail is not of high importance I would not expect it to get answered. That all being said, Kira is down and I'm not fixing it right now and there's nobody else to do it</blockquote>This announcement was ominous enough for people to assume the death of Civclassic but Orinnari was unconvinced. Given that Civclassic development had been lethargic for months, he didn't consider that aspect of the announcement as news. He didn't consider however that the failed automatic payment
It beggars belief that you would do this, Teal, that you would post what is now evidently clear an EOTW event over two weeks ago [https://imgur.com/N0e7tVn and letting rumour run wild] only to come back acting all bashful, praising Civclassics' longevity as if you aren't holding the pillow over Civclassics' proverbial face. For anyone not in the know, Teal effectively abandoned Civclassics in all ways but one about three years ago, same as Bagi. These two have categorically refused to cede full control over to their successors, insisting on keeping such things as the Patreon funds, the domain name, and the OVH instance (the actual server itself), etc, to themselves. This is why whenever something goes incredibly wrong, which happens a few times a year, we have to wait until Teal or Bagi fixes it, because we are literally unable to do so ourselves. This is also why they're still listed as owners in the sidebar... because they are.

[[File:Spikey-ice-find-++-quandrant-sotw-exploration.png|thumb|Cool find during SOTW exploration.]]
Orinnari was torn over whether to join [[Southshire]] or [[Yoahtl]] for [[CivMC]]. At first, he resolved to do both, focusing more on [[Yoahtl]] and then, once established, splitting his time between them. However, it soon became clear that there'd be little to no opportunity for legislature-roleplay in [[Southshire]], nor would there be the nostalgia of [[Oakhurst]], nor the enjoyment of the roofed-forest biome. During this time, [[GDAN12]] had blocked Orinnari's access to [[Yoahtl]]'s SOTW channels for not being solely-allegiant to [[Yoahtl]]. The [[Yoahtl|Yoahtlan]] government begrudgingly gave Orinnari access to those channels when [[bgbba]] put his foot down. However, given the allegiance-pedantry, Orinnari compiled a custom version of [[MapSync]] that would [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leecher_(computing) "leech"] from [[Yoahtl]]'s [[MapSync]] server. That said, Orinnari still chose to share his map explorations with the SOTW channels. However, Orinnari was not aware of the equator-poles world generation and explored south until he reached snow, then travelled west, resulting in nothing else but ice and snow.
[[Yoahtl]] first settled in the -,- quadrant, so Orinnari travelled there, but

On 16th June 2022, PandaPandel asked Orinnari to be her lawyer in a case she was making against [[Gamer Time69|Truck_Man1234]] for petty griefing. He refused at first, not wanting to get involved in internal [[Icenia|Icenian]] drama, but he accepted after hearing the defence's intended argument: that the Court had no jurisdiction since the crime happened when there were no de-jure laws or constitution. The trial began on 25th June 2022. The Court sided with Orinnari on 30th June 2022, stating that the Court had jurisdiction and that [[Gamer Time69|Truck_Man1234]] was guilty.

On 3rd July 2023, Butternut posted sentences. Most sentences ranged between a week or two to a month or two. However, Orinnari received the third-longest sentence given: three months. As a result, Orinnari felt extreme vindication in what he had argued in that [https://np.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/14dmrh4/rip_the_gay_bunker/jos9ilb/?context=7 back and forth], that [[Butternut County|Butternut]] only cared about the aesthetic of fighting homophobia while directly and unflinchingly mistreating queer people. His sentence being so long while having contributed comparatively little to the war also caused controversy. Orinnari believes that his sentenced was likely spearheaded by [[chosentwicelol]] and so was unlikely to be negotiated down.
