Orinnari joined CivClassic in July of 2017 having played no prior iteration. andHe's currently hasa citizenshipcitizen of [[YoahtlSouthshire]], [[Ashelor]], [[Southshire]], [[Nyasaland]], and the [[The Commonwealth|Commonwealth]] (maybe), but resides in [[Yoahtl]]Oakhurst|Oakhurst, and [[AshelorSouthshire]].

Orinnari joined after athe [https://old.reddit.com/r/worldpowers/ /r/WorldPowers] community Minecraft server shut down. He found himself playing the server more than the metaWorldPowers gameitself, so a friend from the subreddit, - [[DarkyDu]], - suggested [[CivClassic]]. He joined the server and after some local chat exchanges, settled in [https://civstorage.github.io/orinnari/westeros/orin-settlement/ hereWesteros] just above, ''and fifteen blocks below'', contemporary [[Anburon]]. He planned on building a small house with a large basement, but quickly lost interest in the server and covered the basement hole.

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

[[Fadedsoul]] invited Orinnari to join him is Strassburg, a German themed settlement within a snow biome. He accepted though did not like the snow biome, nor the build style restrictions of [[Strassburg]], so he built a [https://civstorage.github.io/orinnari/commonwealth/strassburg-house/ cliffside house] and a staircase to it, both of which largely remain intact. 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 appeared in Strassburg territory, taking a huge risk in doing so, to return Orinnari's items that were taken during the [https://civstorage.github.io/orinnari/commonwealth/miloy-incident/ boundary issue].

On 2nd July 2017, Tabby, a [[Commonwealth]] citizen, hired a bounty hunter to pursue an alleged griefer named [[DurianSmash]]. [[DurianSmash|Durian]] had been given a plot within [[Southshire]] after being driven out of the capitol - which mirrored the experiences ofsomething Orinnari and [[StrPlatinum]] could sympathise with - but was interpreted by Tabby as [[Southshire]] protecting and perhaps even funding an unrepentant griefer. [[Zayshi]], the bounty hunter, arrived at [[Southshire]] and started behaving ominously, checking chests, minor griefing, and minor harassing. Tabby warned that Orinnari might "try stuff" if [[DurianSmash|Durian]] was captured, and [[Zayshi]] soon went rogue and attacked Orinnari and attempted to break into his home.

On 10th July 2017, after Orinnari had visited the [[The Commonwealth|Commonwealth]]'s capitol, he took a liking to the canal design and began a reconstruction of [[Southshire]], replacing the dirt bank river with a network of canals though without the prohibition on bridges. The reconstruction resulted in the bank and factory being being sacrificed and moved respectively. It is also when Orinnari rebuilt his home.

Orinnari and [[StrPlatinum]] had been the only two members of the council, a body created by Orinnari to decide things together, or at the very least keep the other informed on any decisions made. Around mid July 2017 a new player called [[SamuelV]] joined [[Southshire]] and immediately showed a skill for building. After a few days, Orinnari and [[StrPlatinum]] both decided to extend an invite to [[SamuelV]] to join the council. This would lead to the start of the [https://civclassic.miraheze.org/wiki/Southshire#Building_Era Building Era.]

Around the 15th August 2017, a [[Southshire]] and [[Commonwealth]] citizen known as [[mrmamizoupie]] was pearled. The people of [[Southshire]], (alsowhich knownhad asgrown Southshians<ref>significant since the start of the [https://civstoragecivclassic.githubmiraheze.ioorg/orinnariwiki/southshire/immigration-reform/</ref>)Southshire#Building_Era Building Era], were naturally outraged that a friend and citizen had been pearled within and removed from [[Southshire]]'s territory, particularly when there was at the time seemingly no rhyme or reason. Information was slowly released over the next day or two. On 17th June 2017, Orinnari stated [[Southshire]]'s position in the [[The Commonwealth|Commonwealth]]'s Discord:

[[MiloY]], who then seemed to chair the [[Commonwealth]]'s response to this matter, agreed with Orinnari's interpretation of the law and brought up precedent made in previous iterations of civ, that the [[Commonwealth]] traditionally does nottraditionally preventallow extradition. The conversation was then taken into relevant channels and voice chats where the [[Commonwealth]] gathered its most trusted citizens to rule on the issue and, taking [[Southshire]]'s voice into consideration, but ultimately voteddecided to allow the extradition.

[[Oakhurst]] was an area within [https://civstorage.github.io/orinnari/southshire/land-claims/ Southend] that Orinnari had been building in for about a week or so since his house was at the time was dead centre of [https://civclassic.miraheze.org/wiki/File:Downtown_Southshire.png Downtown], [[Southshire]] and didn't like the sheer amount of snitch pings from passers-by. After the [[mrmamizoupie]] pearl situation was resolved, Orinnari annexedwanted theto land,get therebyout creatingof [[Oakhurst]]the spotlight, andso then steppedstood down from the council inand anannexed attempt to get out of the spotlight[[Oakhurst]]. [[Oakhurst]] was intended to behave like the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrObZ_HZZUc City of London] and even created the title of "Lord Mayor" to cement that connection. [[Oakhurst]]'s creation didn't receive any resistance from the council at the time since Orinnari co-founded [[Southshire]] and they felt he had the right to claim some land for himself.<blockquote>As other things are happening right now, I will keep this short and to the point. The peninsular that I have claimed has now split, legally speaking, from Southshire. It will not become another borough, nor is it claiming independence from the Commonwealth. It is becoming something akin to The City of London, not to be confused with London. And as such, I hereby formally rescind my council member status, and any roles that included or implied. I will transfer ownership of the Citadel groups of Southshire, as well as the website's GitHub repository. I am formally dissociating myself with Southshire in order to live and build on my own, to be left alone.</blockquote>[[File:Oakhurst-southshire-view.png|thumb|View of Southshire from Oakhurst]]

Orinnari's proclaimed desire to dissociate from [[Southshire]] did not last long. When [[JC]], Orinnari's successor, decided to step down on 28th August 2017, 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 recovered and was willing to rejoin the council ifshould they wantedwant him back. His problem however was that by the time he contacted [[StrPlatinum]], theyhe had already announced to the [[Southshire]] discord that the replacement would be decided by election, so Orinnari begrudgingly decided to run as a candidate, but he knew he would probably fail.

During the discussions of Orinnari runningsome forcandidate councilquestions, [[Charlameme]] brought up athat potential conflict on interest becausesince Orinnari was the leader of [[Oakhurst]], an autonomous territory of [[Southshire]], and was running to become a council member of [[Southshire]], thusthere could be a conflict of interest. Thus after some hours of negotiation and agreement, the following deal was struck:

|text=As I am unable to simultaneously hold the position of Councillor and Lord Mayor of Oakhurst, this is my statement on how that would be resolved. If elected, the autonomous district of Oakhurst, where I am the sole resident and owner of, will be encapsulated into [[Southshire]] proper. All Oakhurst laws, building codes, criminal codes, and other miscellaneous government enactments, will be placed on hold, to no longer be legally binding or enforceable. The land of Oakhurst will become my personal private property within Southend, with all the protections that includes under law. Oakhurst shall remain in this state until such time where I leave, or are otherwise removed from the council, whereby Oakhurst returns to its previous state and I am reinstated as its sole owner and leader.

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]] in order to moverelocate 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 him.

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://civstorage.github.io/orinnari/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.

On the same day that [[Southshire]] joined [[Yoahtl]] as an autonomous town, Orinnari travelled to [[Yoahtl#New Yoahtl City|NYC]] for the first time. The server was lagging like crazy and large groups of people were being kicked from the server at the same time. 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>

[[File:Southshire-view-from-south-island.png|thumb|View from the South Island property]]Orinnari returned to [[Southshire]] for a short stint of a few days. The previous [[Oakhurst]] land was already occupied and even then the bridge was being used as a freetree farm and so blocked the original sought after view. He instead attempted to build a house at the top of a mountain on South Island, but this fell flat as the path to reach the house was laborious, the biome was ugly, and the build space too awkward for him to work with.

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.

In November 2018, a player named [[ThirdOfFive]] became a citizen of [[Bloom]]. At first they gravitated towards each other as they both had a great enthusiasm for law making, however Orinnari quickly found himself fatiguedfrustrated by [[ThirdOfFive]]'s inexperience and tendency to insist upon solutions that either wouldn't work or would cause more problems than they solved. After a spat in which [[ThirdOfFive]] created a close replicaknock-off of Orinnari's shop, insisting on his right to do so, and stating that Orinnari should feel flattered, Orinnari and [[dBeatzx]] left for greener pastures on 6th January 2019 and found themselves in the +,+. Since [[dBeatzx]] left with Orinnari, [[ThirdOfFive]] began spreading the lie that Orinnari had poached [[dBeatzx]] and was therefore a traitor. Orinnari successfully negotiated the land from the [[Free Territory of Kropotnia]] on 8th January 2019 with a treaty called the [https://civstorage.github.io/orinnari/ashelor/kropotnia-treaty/ Treaty of Mutual Recognition].

On 28th January 2019, Orinnari received an invitation from [[bgbba]] to join [[Yoahtl]] on [[CivEx]], which after some exploration he accepted. [[dBeatzx]] had already become somewhat inactive and so when Orinnari and [[Alzdadog|Aleh]] moved over to [[CivEx]], [[Ashelor]] was effectively put on hold. On 17th February 2019 in a spurt of activity, [[dBeatzx]] attempted to revive the [[Ashelor]] by negotiating to become a state of [[Bloom]], however this was quickly preventedvetoed by Orinnari due to fears of interference by [[ThirdOfFive]] and other Members of [[Bloom]]'s Parliament, though this sadly made [[dBeatzx]] go inactive again. [[CivEx]] would however effectively die by the end of March 2019 due to bad admin public relations incorrectly stating the lie that the lifespan of the server would only be about three months.[[File:CivClassic-civex-timeline.png|border|center|frameless|900x900px|Timeline]]

Orinnari had been the Lord Protector of [[Ashelor]] since 30th December 2020 when the Royal Prerogative was re-instated with a few minor changes and named as the Lord's Prerogative, hinting at a Cromwell-esque republic which was ''totally'' not a Monarchy. But [[Ashelor]] was growing increasingly inactive. On 3rd February 2021, Orinnari suspended the election cycle due to lack of interest. Later, on 17th May 2021, Orinnari suspended the need for citizens to register to vote and the need for proposals to be seconded. [[Ashelor]] became so inactive that [[Icenia (CivClassic)|Icenia]] effectively occupied and annexed Old Bloom, however this was instigated by Truckman, a [[Bloom|Bloomean]] and [[Ashelor]] citizen, so the only issue was the [[Icenia (CivClassic)|Icenia]] didn't consult with or inform [[Ashelor]]'s government. Wanting to move onto other projects, Orinnari passed on the position of Lord Protector to [[7misun]] on 5th July 2021.
