===The Plantation===

Not long after, DarkyDu suggested joining him in the [[Commonwealth]]. He owned an area known then as The Plantation, now modern day Arran. Orinnari accepted and began levelling out an 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.

===Returning to Southshire (First)===

Orinnari's proclaimed desire to dissociate from Southshire did not last long. When [[JC]], Orinnari's successor, decided the step down on the 28th August, Orinnari knew this could be an opportunity to rejoin Southshire. He knew that his stepping down was a moment of weakness, that after a week he had rested and moved on from the turmoils of the [[mrmamizoupie]] situation, and that he was willing to rejoin the council if they wanted him back. His problem however was that by the time Orinnari contacted [[StrPlatinum]], he had already announced to the [[Southshire]] discord that the replacement would be decided by election.

[[Charlameme]] brought up a potential conflict on interest seeming that I was the leader of an autonomous territory of [[Southshire]] and running to become a council member of [[Southshire]], thus after some hours of negotiation and agreement, the following deal was struck:

That kind of negotiating acted to rejuvenate Orinnari's drive to be a legislator, but he also knew he wasn't a people person, which made the inevitable devastating loss of an election even more impactful. He ran not as a John Doe, but as a co-founder, as a previous council member, as the builder of [[Southshire]], as a writer of its laws; he knew he wasn't popular but hoped that people would elect him on his ability rather than on popularity, but he ended up losing (disproportionately) to Callum~~. This lead Orinnari to believe he wasn't welcome and that if he ever wanted to legislate again, he'd need to do so elsewhere~~.

===Oakhurst's Boroughification===

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 Oakhurst Agreement became null and void, Orinnari decided to focus on but also 'boroughify' Oakhurst, to put it on the same level as [[Southshire]]. He figured that if he could build and rebuild [[Southshire]], he could build Oakhurst just fine. However, opinions of Oakhurst and Orinnari began to sour; the boroughification was considered another tantrum, a power grab, an attempt to screw [[Southshire]] over. It drew the ire of [[Dr_Oracle]], the then owner of [[Southshire]]'s [[Empty Promises]] branch, though this was resolved when Orinnari sent him [https://archive.ashelor.cc/oakhurst-oracle-essay/ an essay] detailing Oakhurst's history.

⚫

[[File:Oakhurst-plantation-plans.png|thumb|Oakhurst construction plans in The Plantation]]

An example of hostilities between Oakhurst and [[Southshire]] was when Orinnari lobbied for a rail connection between the two boroughs and was met with scorn, though it turned out the rail was about the same length as the rail from [[Mount Augusta]] to the Jewish Quarter, [[Mount Augusta]].

⚫

Hostilities reached a peak between Orinnari and [[SamuelV]], so in early October 2017, Orinnari decided to dismantle Oakhurst and cede the land back to [[Southshire]] in order to move Oakhurst 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 to an island just north of The Plantation, now known as Shen. The island however was small and Teal-cliff'd, thus required lowering it down to sea level to make it usable. But the move itself from [[Southshire]] turned out to be a mistake as not only was it isolated geographically, socially, and infrastructurally, but the [[Commonwealth]] refused to recognise it as a borough. This became a very inactive time for Orinnari.

Orinnari returned to [[Southshire]] in December 2017 after server activity was at an all time low due to [[Somber War|The Somber War]], where Orinnari and [[cinzar]] would often be the only players online. [[Cinzar]] became the new leader of [[Southshire]] and the Constitution of [[Southshire]] was abolished in favour of returning to the council system it had previously. The previous Oakhurst land was occupied and the bridge was being used as a tree farm, so Orinnari attempted to build a house at the top of a mountain on South Island, but this fell flat as the path to reach the property was laborious, the biome was ugly, and the build space was too awkward for him to work with. He instead settled for rebuilding the house he once had at the centre of the city but within the Dark Oak District in the northern part of city.

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.

But the move itself from [[Southshire]] turned out to be a mistake as not only was it isolated geographically, socially, and infrastructurally, but the [[Commonwealth]] refused to recognise it as a borough. This became a very inactive time for Orinnari.

Becoming a town of Yoahtl had been a semi-serious meme within Southshire for quite some time. On 13th January 2018, serious talks began between Southshire and Yoahtl to become an autonomous town. These talks were leaked, which caused some drama within the obstinate meta-bound citizenry, but negotiations were productive and a treaty was drafted.<blockquote>After votes and negotiations, Southshire has decided to secede from the Commonwealth in order to join Yoahtl as an autonomous town as described in [https://archive.ashelor.cc/southshire/ascension-of-southshire/ this document].

⚫

===Returning to Southshire===

If we were going to transition to Yoahtl we wanted to do it properly, and so we devised three steps to complete before pushing the button and making the change.

Months later, Orinnari returned to [[Southshire]] though the server was enduring the [[Somber War]] where Orinnari and cinzar would often be the only players online. They both pseudo-couped Southshire's government and groups to allow them to govern and build.

# '''''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.

⚫

===Yoahtl Ascension===

# '''''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.

# '''''Conduct a vote within our local government.''''' We wanted to make sure that we did actually want to go through with this, and so the entire government - the council and deputies - were required to vote, and only if the vote was unanimous would we make the transition.

All three conditions were met, and so we made the transition.</blockquote>On 14th January 2018, Southshire officially became an autonomous town of Yoahtl.
