Orinnari: Difference between revisions

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].

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.

# '''''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]].

Soon after [[Southshire]] joined [[Yoahtl]] as an autonomous town, Orinnari travelled to NYC for the first time. The server was lagging like crazy and large groups of people would be kicked from the server at once. Orinnari was kicked twice while on the rails and rode past SouthernBloc along the way who was standing to the side of a rail. After a kick SouthernBloc was ahead of Orinnari though travelling slowly, so Orinnari caught up fast. After another kick which effected them both, Orinnari went to his minecart but so did SouthernBloc, seemingly not noticing nor caring about their minecart up ahead. SouthernBloc prevented Orinnari from continuing his journey, forcing Orinnari do try and move past them, and then prevented him again. Orinnari used his axe to one hit his minecart, but SouthernBloc attempted to take the minecart at the same time, causing them to get hit, which was used as justification to kill Orinnari to "inventory check him", stealing all of Orinnari's items and minecart. Orinnari still has claims against SouthernBloc for what they did.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/7sg5sp/my_side/dt56d0h/</ref><ref>https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1-26-18-we-talk-to-bgbba-about-current-conflicts-dramas/id1294943390?i=1000400764199</ref>

===Settling in Yoahtl===

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 early February 2018 to move to the new capitol, NYC. However he was almost immediate accosted by [[TheOrangeWizard]] for building a property on NYC island but outside of the city trench. Orinnari then 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 when 1) SgtSoda agreed to trade his plot for a larger one of his own in the south east part of the city, 2) also when [[Feathercrown]] ceded a small area to Orinnari to square out the plot, and 3) when the ore exchange was moved from under the plot to allow for a basement.

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 always refer to Orinnari's plot size with an edge. When [[TheOrangeWizard]] was speaking with someone else and their plot and brought up Orinnari's plot and its size while he was present in the conversation was when Orinnari realised that [[TheOrangeWizard]] was not going to let this go and would continually dangle this issue in front of him and anyone who'd listen. He decided on the 22nd June 2018 that he couldn't live in Yoahtl anymore if he would continuously face this level of toxicity. This was the longest continuous stretch of time Orinnari had spent in a single nation.
