Orinnari: Difference between revisions

On 13th September 2021, a new account joined Civclassics named "[[Orimmari|"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 thereby feasted gleefully on his vulnerability and attempt to leverage the imitator to stop. While this was spirallyspiralling, Orinnari got a good piece of advice from [[bgbba]] and had the idea to make it seem like he switched to another account. He used a script to re-nickname himself in all civ-related discords and used a [https://github.com/MCCTeam/Minecraft-Console-Client headless client] to afk on Remcompti. Shortly after, the account "Remcomptii" appeared, which Orinnari found very funny though was also somewhat disappointed that the imitator didn't go for a more meme-worthy corruption like "Remcumpti". With that said, Orinnari's opinion of the community was lowered by the whole affair.
