RainOfPain125: Difference between revisions

After leaving Napistan, Rainie would end up settling in Norlund. This was suggested by a user named 1234fireball who suggested to him that he should create a town and petition to become a municipality within Norlund. He would end up founding the Paris Commune hoping that the land he settled in that people would leave him alone. He would also found the Black Internationale while in Norlund.

Rain joined CivClassics in late June of 2021. He spent almost all of his time and effort exclusively on his town [[The No State Commune]] building and having fun with his friends. He never joined any other nations or did much else.

Rainie has been a subject of several controversies in the Civ community and is generally regarded in negative regards at the very least, and at the most majoritarian disdain by the Civ community at large. The first being the events surrounding the IWW election and how he was hesitant to accept the rules. He would also cause minor dramas which would escalate into him getting pearled and or kicked from a group in general. With all of this coming to ahead with the Acadia drama in which he would end up doxing someone and getting banned. The very same reason why he claimed he left CivUniverse which everyone would consider to be irony at it’s finest.\

===Resolved===

Sometime on [[CivRealms]], an unknown player would join on an alt named RainofPain pretending to be him except espousing love for capitalism and the free market.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/V0E2Pjm.png "RainofPain" on CivRealms supporting capitalism's superiority]</ref>

Another incident that was far worse was an alt named RainOfPain126 joining CivRealms pretending to be Rain again, this time being extremely racist posting slurs in the chat. This got the real Rain in some trouble with the CivRealms staff whom thought he was the one on the alt, and for some time people mistakenly thought of Rain as a racist until it was widely understood what happened. Many less observant players were probably fooled because of how similar the usernames were.

The Industrial Workers of the World had recently gained a new territory named "Greenland" in the south of the frozen Napistan continent which hosted a huge carrot farm, after the previous owners gave up on CivRealms and transferred ownership to the IWW. Rain decided it was time to create a new town named [[Rojava]] that would unite the IWW together militarily, economically, and politically, with all railways connected to it. The idea for the town was received well by most members of the IWW, thus Rain went down south to begin. He wanted to create the town next to the new carrot farm for easy access to food, on his way down he found what he thought was the farm and tried to start building but a bastion prevented him from doing so.

Rain would start to break the bastion thinking nothing of it, because the land was unclaimed on the CivRealms claims map and he IWW was well aware that previous nations tried to survive on the continent yet withered away. Members of the IWW would periodically find abandoned bastions, so Rain thought no different in this situation. It turned out that the bastion belonged to [[MCSpenguin]] and the farm he was trying to build next to, which he thought was the new recently acquired one, was also Penguins farm.

===="Doxxing" a member of Acadia====

Sometime after [[The No State Commune]] was raided by Acadia and others, Rain had quit playing [[CivClassics]]. Though he remained on the r/CivClassics subreddit making comments and contributing to the general discourse. One day Rain noticed on his phone that he received two different notifications to a post he made, both posts containing the same content, but both posts written by different authors. From his perspective he thought it was funny that he caught someone using their alt reddit account, and let the user know that he saw it by replying to the content with a link to an image of the two notifications side by side together.

Rain never actually looked at the account before posting the image, nor did he intend to doxx the user. However, this action was perceived as an attempt to dox the user, of which this particular user also happened to be from Acadia. Opponents were quick to jump at the mistake, calling Rain a doxxer and calling for him to be permanently banned from CivClassics. To further support their argument, they pointed out that the member was apart of a nation that had recently attacked Rain.

Rain would counter-argue that he did not mean to harm, and pointed out that if someone in his situation truly wanted to cause harm that they could. He argued that if his intent actually was to doxx this user, then he would have looked through the alt accounts' posts and comments gathering as much details and personal information, compile it together, then publish it publicly - which he did not do.

The CivClassics staff team would intervene to temporarily ban Rain for one month. This striked less observant users as weird, because doxxers are almost always permanently banned. However, the CivClassics staff team understood that doxxing the user was not Rain's intent, and no personal details were ever actually gathered. To calm the community and set things straight they made a post on their Subreddit explaining the circumstances and situation surrounding their decision.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/pv6iji/rainie_ban_details/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 CivClassics staff team makes public statement regarding "Rainie Ban Detials]"</ref>

The user would later go on to say that they would not preban Rain from his server, because "The doxx was real but I do not believe it was intended as one."<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/I77uegc.jpg Clearing up rumors of Doxxing]</ref> The alt username and time that the incident occurred will not be added for privacy and safety.

===Unreseolved===

After [[CivUniverse]] closed the extremely controversial owner [[Ian_X12]] decided to ban Rain posthumously for "doxxing" on July 20th, 2021.<ref>[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/415706745566920716/884248652598624256/unknown.png CivUniverse Ian_X12 banning RainOfPain125]</ref> This was most likely to try and make himself look "good" at the expense of others, due to his own controversies.

Rain was permanently banned from CivRev for "Have a good day."<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/4P5ES39.png CivRev staff banning Rain for "Have a good day."]</ref>

Rain is permanently banned from CivMC for "past activities", and when asked to elaborate they replied "Toxic behavior and interactions in chat, and the subreddit situation".<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/ENqTHQQ.jpg CivMC staff making excuses for why Rain is permanently banned]</ref> They never provide any evidence or cite any events nor incidents to support their claim that Rain was ever toxic on CivMC. Rain is also permanently banned from r/CivMC and the CivMC Discord for no reason provided.

Rain also supports Queer Anarchism, aka Anarchism as a means of queer liberation and success. Himself and many of his comrade peers are LGBTQIA+.

Though opponents are quick to point out that his actions generally show different results from what would be expected of an anarchist. Rain’s anarchist leanings have been questioned by many, including folks identify as leftists. Many of his actions have been criticized as they seem contradictory to the principles of any anarchist ideology. One such action includes users such as Hiduckhi who have criticized Rain as being an "Anarcho-Monarchist”. Some would argue that his ideas and beliefs at times are contradictory in nature and/or claim that he is out right lying about his true beliefs in order to gain power, using ideology as a velvet glove.

==Real Life==

Rain outside of the Civ genre is a freelance Media & Graphic Designer, he enjoys making Civ propaganda as a way to practice his skills and improve. He also likes to manage and organize communities, almost all of which are political in nature such as the [https://discord.gg/ctkH6qe Anarchist Communist Association].
