===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 then Orinnari spotted the empty peninsular south west of the Capital District,
===Harassment from a mercenary===
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 - something 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,
===Southshire's reconstruction===
Line 51:
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]] 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]], which had grown significant since the start of the [https://civclassic.miraheze.org/wiki/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:

=== 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 news. He didn't consider however that the automatic payment failing but not due to insufficient funds was foreshadowing [[TealNerd|Teal]]'s intentions. On 24th November 2021, [[TealNerd|Teal]] made a subreddit post titled "[https://old.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/r0rsys/end_of_the_year_party_121821_at_1800_utc/ End of the Year Party 12/18/21 at 18:00 UTC]" to send off the year with an in-game party. People began to suspect that this event was an End of the World (EOTW) event and rumours began to spread. On 8th December 2021, [[TealNerd|Teal]] made another subreddit post titled "[https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/rc370p/through_the_roof_n_underground/ Through the Roof 'n' Underground]" which fawned over the success and longevity of Civclassics while also stating in no uncertain terms that Civclassics will come to an end and will not return for a third iteration. Orinnari responded with the following comment:<blockquote>'''THIS IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY'''
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.
Line 236 ⟶ 234:
It's entirely possible for Wingzero to take a backup of Civclassics and restore it onto a new server with a new domain and a new Patron, it's been discussed many times, but he's decided not to do this in light of Teal's intentions. Indeed, I've just asked him whether he'd allow someone else who wishes to keep Civclassics alive to restore a backup onto a new server, he said no. It's worth noting that Wingzero since (and before) his post withdrawing all active administration from Civclassics has been playing around with creating an alternative civ server of his own.
Civclassics is not dying comfortably of its own accord because players are disinterested, Civclassics is being killed by its admin team.</blockquote>Orinnari felt more than a little betrayed given his contributions to Civclassics' code base, feeling like it had now gone to waste; that the admin team were sacrificing Civclassics in furtherance of their own prospective civ-server projects. [[Wingzero54|Wingzero]] in particular had ruminated about and even began working on a civ-server project of his own. To Orinnari, the idea that [[Wingzero54|Wingzero]] had agreed to shutdown Civclassics knowing that his server would be a likely replacement felt macabre to say the least. Most of the community however did not share Orinnari's outrage.
On 17th December 2021, on the eve of the EOTW event, [[CivMC]] was announced with the subreddit post titled "[https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/riqf4c/what_is_civ_a_prelude/ What is Civ? - A Prelude]". [[CivMC]] is [[Wingzero54|Wingzero]]'s soon to be released civ-server.
On 18th December 2021, Orinnari repeatedly
=== Dissolution of Ashelor ===
On 11th December 2021, Orinnari requested and was given ownership of Ashelor's Discord server for old time's sake. Sometime later, Orinnari understood that Ashelor would not be re-established on future iterations and so used [https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter DiscordChatExporter] to archive pertinent channels before deleting the Discord server.
