'''RainOfPain125''', also known as '''Rain''' or '''Rainie''', is the original founder of the [[Industrial Workers of the World]]. Check the infobox on the right for other founded projects.
==CivRealms==
Rain began CivRealms as a brand new, skeptical yet adventurous player. Wanting to build, make friends, organize, and unite the leftist community. His goal on the server was try to ideologically "win" CivRealms by convincing the general player-base that Anarchism as an economic and social ideology not only works, but that it is the most successful or preferable system of organizing and having fun.


'''RainOfPain125''' or as he’s commonly known as '''Rainie''' is the founder of The No State Commune on CivClassics and the [[Industrial Workers of the World|IWW]] on [[CivRealms 2.0|CivRealms]]. He’s also a controversial player with a generally negative reputation as most of the server has negative opinions as a result of actions he’s done through out his time on the Civ servers he frequented.
Rain knew he would need a lot of help to organize. The conclusion was to build an international unifying organization that gathered enough members and resources to defend themselves if presented with a threat by any of the reactionary users or groups on the server.[[File:TolstoyRide.png|left|thumb|500x500px|Riding through the Commune of Tolstoy with the founder Zazorg]]Rain had already recruited some players together to join the server and begin setting up communes. Rain instructed new members to settle in [[Napistan]], understanding that trying to contest existing claims would probably get the organization killed, and the large northern island of Napistan was largely uninhabited compared to the rest of the world. Thus the Commune of [[Tolstoy]] was founded by [[Zazorg]] on January 7th 2020<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/WZ0bzuA.png Founding of the Commune of Tolstoy]</ref>. Another commune [[Exarchos|Vescau]] (Later re-branded [[Exarchos]]) was founded around the same time. When these communes were founded, Rain did not possess a computer and thus could not play CivRealms, merely helping to organize the group and encouraging players to move up to the northern isolated continent to begin their journeys there.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/NsOz1e0.png Rain no have PC :(]</ref>


==Civ History==
In doing so, on the 23rd of January 2020 Rain declared<ref name=":0">[https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/et45rk/hereby_declaring_the_industrial_workers_of_the/ Declaration of the Industrial Workers of the World]</ref> the [[Industrial Workers of the World]], an organization of anarchist, socialist, and communist nations/collectives/communes. All existing groups were welcome to join.


===CivRealms ===
===The Industrial Workers of the World!===
[[File:First Sign.png|500x500px|thumb|left|Rain's first sign on CivRealms]]
When Rain was again able to play, he moved to [[Tolstoy]], contributing to mining, and the excavation of a new river that would span the continent and provide easy travel under the newly founded North-East Waterways Organization, or NEWO, a construction group ran by [[Zazorg]]. [[Tolstoy]] started to become the heart of the IWW, the main town that members would stay around and contribute to. Around this time is when a lot of recognizable faces of the IWW appeared such as [[EmDubleYou]], [[EnderWorldDragon]], [[ExcaliburSword]], [[Narhwal_19]], [[fantasyworm]], [[Lowtuff]], [[Lannister]], and [[buystamps]].
Rain began CivRealms as an ambitious new player. Wanting to build, make friends, organize, and in his words ''“unite the server’s leftists”.'' His goal on the server was try to “ideologically win” on the CivRealms server. Rain thought that he would need help in organizing. The conclusion was to build a nation that gathered enough members and resources to defend itself if presented with a threat by others on the server.


On the January 23<sup>rd</sup>, 2020 Rainie established the IWW, an organization of anarchist, socialist, and communist countries on the northern continent of Napistan though the anarchist part is disputed due to later events. Rainie chose this area because contesting existing claims would get him killed, and the northern continent of Napistan was largely unclaimed compared to the rest of the world.
After much of the basic organizing had been finished Rain had retrieved his gaming computer. He committed to a recruitment campaign, utilizing his already existing community the [[Anarchist Communist Association]] along with Reddit posts across many large and small anarchist/socialist subreddits that quickly attracted new members to the IWW.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/anarchocommunism/comments/eji8xd/wanna_help_setup_a_dank_anarchist_commune_in/ Example of one IWW recruitment post]</ref> Due to the massively successful recruitment drive, the IWW rapidly grew, which presented a major problem to Rain, as many new players would leave early, not understanding Civ and finding it confusing or frustrating. Rain would later make a large Google doc containing all the information about mechanics and plugins, updating and changing it around as he switched from Realms to Universe to Classics. [[File:ACAupdatedLOGO.png|left|thumb|122x122px|the [[Anarchist Communist Association]], a large Discord community that Rain runs and used as the original Discord for the IWW. 1,000 members as of November 2021]]
[[File:IWWTNOadvert.png|left|thumb|210x210px|Advertising propaganda made by Rain in the style of [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2438003901 The New Order: Last Days of Europe]]][[File:ProIWWmeme.jpg|267x267px|thumb|left|A meme created by Rain and [[UnknownKarnij]] to criticize the nations that came out of the [[Duckapore]]-IWW schism.]]
====The Tolstoy Bombing====
The IWW was overall, a very loose and disorganized group. Not because members did not agree ideologically, but because many did not fully understand the mechanics present on CivRealms which later lead to the easy bombing of Tolstoy by [[Vanax|PartyAnimal]] (later revealed to be [[Vanax]]). Rain and [[EmDubleYou]] were pearled in the bombing incident, as Vanax wanted to "purge the commies". However a large coalition of fighters from [[Alexandria]] led by [[TTastic]] and other forces arrived to investigate and help. PartyAnimal logged before coalition forces got to the bunker, and the two were freed from their pearls.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/i57IlCG.png Same day recounting of the Tolstoy Bombing]</ref>


When the IWW was declared on the 23rd of January, Rainie had recruited some players to join the server and began to set up communes in the region. The Communes of Tolstoy and Vescau (Later re-branded as Exarchos) were established. At the time, Rain didn’t possess a PC and could only organize. Encouraging players to move up to the northern continent to begin their settlement on the continent.
====RainOfPain125-MCSPenguin Incidient====
Rain continued to grind and build until he fully understood the RealisticBiomes plugin, now understanding that most of the continent could not grow any crops, he sought to expand the IWW's claims across Napistan to more land that was arable enough to grow carrots.


[[File:NEWO.png|400x400px|thumb|right|North-East Waterways Organization, which Rain participated in]]
Conveniently, a nation named "Greenland" threatened the IWW, claiming they shouldn't touch their area in the center-south of Napistan along the coast. 1-2 days later, the two people who ran Greenland quit the server, though not before giving up their group to a member of the IWW.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/51imxK9.png Nation of Greenland hostility]</ref>


When Rain was again able to play, he moved to Tolstoy, contributing to mining, and the excavation of a canal to provide easy travel under the North-East Waterways Organization or NEWO, a construction group founded by the creator of Tolstoy, Zazorg. Tolstoy started to become the heart of the IWW, the main town that members would stay around and contribute, up until later on with communes such as Bremerhaven.
Thus IWW inherited a large carrot farm. Happy with the details, Rain decided he wanted to build a coastal town near the farm to increase trade and access to arable land. He picked a spot that he thought was only a couple hundred or so blocks from the farm. Rain mined his way underground in an effort to build a railroad towards the new planned location, but realized the area was bastioned. A mix of things culminated in Rain breaking MCSPenguin's bastions.


[[File:AnarchistCommunistAssociation.png|thumb|left|The ACA, an anarcho-communist discord server run by Rainie and the potential source of attempted voter stuffing of the IWW Elections.]]
=====Rain's side=====


After enough basic organizing had been done and Rain had his PC, he begun a recruitment campaign utilizing a non-Civ Discord the Anarchist Communist Association along with Reddit posts the IWW quickly grew. Due to the recruitment drive, the IWW increased in members because of it. Many would argue that Rainie’s recruitment drive was spam in some aspects, such as the fact that the post was reposted to multiple subreddits.
# Rain assumed it was leftover bastions from the long-dead Maelstrom nation, the only nation to have lived on Napistan before the IWW. It was already previously agreed among members of the IWW to clear any remaining Maelstrom bastions on the continent, and thus he started breaking.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/6cO844U.png Proof 1 of Maelstrom's existence]</ref><ref>[https://i.imgur.com/IUZzGCt.png Proof 2 of Maelstrom's existence]</ref><ref>[https://i.imgur.com/eXshp1u.png Proof 3 of Maelstrom's existence]</ref><ref>[https://i.imgur.com/RH92zYd.png Proof 4 of Maelstrom's existence]</ref>
#MCSPenguin did not announce or mark their claims on the worldmap, which otherwise would have prevented this.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/MgopOGm.jpg Proof of MCSPenguin's non-existent claims on Napistan]</ref>
#Rain also announced in world chat that he found a bastion in Napistan. Only one person asked where the coords were, so Rain provided coords. Rain assumed the coords were alright, because the person who asked proceeded to log off, indicating there was no trouble. The person who asked for coords happened to be MCSPenguin's alt. The proof of this has been lost, but MCSPenguin does not deny that this occurred.
#Rain was provided incorrect coordinates.


The IWW was a very loose and disorganized group. Not because members didn’t agree ideologically, but because many didn’t fully understand the mechanics present on CivRealms which later lead to the easy bombing of Tolstoy by PartyAnimal. Rainie and EmDubleYou were pearled during the bombing, as Vanax disguised as PartyAnimal. Allies came and removed the obsidian and freed Rainie and Ems’ pearls. The lasting damage from the raid caused five Tolstoians to quit and the city would go into a period of decline.
=====MCSPenguin's side=====


Rainie continued to work until he fully understood the RealisticBiomes plugin, now understanding that most of the continent could not grow any crops, he sought to expand the IWW's claims across Napistan to more land that was arable enough to grow carrots.
#Rain had no business breaking random bastions, and it was his responsibility to ensure that they were unowned bastions.
#Rain was at the wrong coordinates, and should have checked them first.


Conveniently, Greenland threatened the IWW if it did not leave its surrounding land in the center-south of Napistan on the coast. Only 1-2 days later, the two people who ran Greenland quit the server, but not before giving up their group to a member of the IWW.
==== IWW Rigged vote regarding ownership====
While Rain was away pearled, he discussed and came up with the idea to create a new position named "Union Organizer". Union Organizers were to do exactly that - help organize and facilitate things between communes. Rain ran the election, and it ended with [[Coolking1500|Adam]] and [[VolutionFS]] working together with Rain to organize and run the IWW.


In early February after a vote by Narwhal_19, the IWW extended its claims farther south gaining a carrot farm in the south as a result. However, this conflicted with farms MCSPenguin had in the area. After a short border conflict, the claims were adjusted and Penguinland was created. Despite the negotiations with Penguin, Rainie decided to try clearing Penguin's bastions in the region. After being caught by Penguin he was pearled. Rainie claims that he was trying to build a railroad in the area but these claims have been proven to be false by other accounts. He was pearled for griefing said bastioned land for two weeks.
At some point members of the IWW, being anarchists opposed to authority, joked that "nobody elected Rain". Jokes soon turned into a serious discussion on whether or not the ownership over the entire IWW discord and in-game group should be democratically elected. Despite Rain being fiercely against the concept of transferring complete ownership to someone who could ruin the project, it was decided that the position of owner should be democratically elected, which prompted a vote to elect a new Server Organizer.


The IWW decided to use this time to create a new role conduct diplomacy, trade, and organization in the IWW named the "Union Organizer" or UO. After a vote, despite Rain being fiercely against the general concept of transferring ownership to someone who could simply destroy or ruin the entire project, it was decided that the position of owner should be democratically elected, which prompted a vote to elect a new Server Organizer.
Many folks including Rain, [[Feezor]], [[ian]], [[Pierre]] and [[Hiduckhi]] ran for the new position.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/Y7U9dUf.png What the IWW vote to change ownership looked like]</ref> Initially, the opposition to Rain was divided between Ian, Feezor and Hiduckhi, which would have made Rain the clear winner with the most votes.


Many folks including Rain, Freezor, Ian, Pierre, and Hiduck ran for the new position. Initially, the opposition was divided between Ian, Feezor and Hiduck initially. Simultaneously, due to the unfairness of the vote by the Rainites especially as it became evident that Rainie was vote-stuffing by means of inviting new and inactive members from ACA to vote in the IWW election. The result of the discovery of Rainie’s voter fraud attempts led to the Crab Coup. Despite his attempts at ballot stuffing the election results did come in, Rainie had only gotten 20% of the vote compared to the Crab Coalition’s 80%.
However, suspiciously the results

# Changed dramatically two days after the vote was announced
#Within just an hour
#AND they all declined to choose a 4th or 5th rank for their vote.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/kigQXxX.png Evidence of IWW Server Organizer election fraud 1]</ref><ref>[https://i.imgur.com/CE7v1IF.png Evidence of IWW Server Organizer election fraud 2]</ref><ref>[https://i.imgur.com/Ov7azF3.png Evidence of IWW Server Organizer election fraud 3]</ref><ref>[https://i.imgur.com/55MitZ6.png Evidence of IWW Server Organizer election fraud 4]</ref><ref>[https://i.imgur.com/PuOaXNS.png Evidence of IWW Server Organizer election fraud 5]</ref><ref>[https://i.imgur.com/Y7U9dUf.png Evidence of IWW Server Organizer election fraud 6]</ref>

Due to certain circumstances, a user named EnderWorldDragon was the creator of the actual google form where the vote was held. Because of this, EnderWorldDragon was able to collaborate with the opposition to manipulate the vote results, by deleting the existing votes and having people re-cast a new vote. This way the opposition against Rain could concentrate all of their votes into one candidate. However, nowhere did it say users were allowed to re-cast their votes. And there was no prior precedent that this was allowed, as no vote before this allowed re-submitting your answers.

In response to being exposed for their obvious rigging of the vote, they said it was excusable because Rain personally DM'd people asking them to go and vote in the democratic process. It is known that they sought to rig the election by deleting and recasting votes, because the person who created the vote, EnderWorldDragon, admitted it<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/YqIyPIr.png EnderWorldDragon admitting to rigging votes]</ref>

[[Heyduckhi]] won the election by a single vote. Rain ultimately honored the vote and transferred ownership of the IWW, regardless of the rigging.

====Criticism of the Insurrectionary IWW ====
The Crab Coup (Led by Ian/5492 and Heyduckhi) transferred snitches and bastions from the IWW group to a different private group. Supposedly for "in the event that Rain refuse to abdicate."

After being democratically defeated, Rain was ousted and banned from the IWW after criticizing the new leadership, arguing they were doing similar actions akin to the NSDAP, going after political opponents and silencing or banning them.
Rain left [[Napistan]] with two of his supporters. Rain went on to write a long Reddit post, essentially detailing If anyone had the most vested interest in the operation running smoothly as intended, it would be the one who founded it. Giving up ownership and hoping that the new ownership will be trustworthy or be a good-actor is a game of complete chance, and the chance of getting a bad-actor as owner is inevitable provided you vote to change owners enough. The post was however received negatively by the IWW and the server as a whole.
===Citizen of Norlund===
After being ousted from the IWW, Rain retreated to the mainland continent, wandering, following the advice of [[1234fireball]] who suggested that he could move into [[Norlund]] territory, start a new town, and then could petition to join the [[Norlund]] government as a new autonomy (or "municipality"). Rain went ahead and followed this advice, establishing a new life in the far north-west, which was almost the same in climate to [[Napistan]], featuring the similar snow and hills. Rain chose the most useless and isolated region of [[Norlund]], believing nobody would care about the land and leave him alone, and began the [[Paris Commune]], being approved by the Norlund government shortly thereafter.

Soon Rain founded the [[Black Internationale]], an organization with a heavier emphasis on anarchism and resisting authority. Although he was beginning to get tired of CivRealms, and chose not to mass-advertise the BI as heavily as he did with the IWW. Despite not going as hard on advertising as the IWW, the BI happened to get even more popular traction on Reddit than the IWW did, garnering much more upvotes. The [[Paris Commune]] started to accumulate members, with 10 active members at its peak. It was a mostly underground commune, with a tunnel dug at Y=0 to the factory capital of [[Norlund]], [[Kannin]]. From there, Rain and the members of the [[Paris Commune]] could start to efficiently progress.


At the end of the day Rainie did honor the vote and transferred ownership of the IWW. In spite of this he attempted to undermine the new leadership as well as spam shit tier memes. This ended up with him getting banned from the IWW discord. After which he’d end up making a [https://archive.vn/5RMvx long reddit post] which was received negatively by the IWW and the server as a whole.[[File:ProIWWmeme.jpg|500px|thumb|left|A meme created by RainOfPain125 to criticize the nations that came out of the Duckapore-IWW schism several months after his ousting.]]
After being democratically defeated, Rainie was ousted and banned from the IWW after attempting to undermine the new leadership and spamming the IWW discord creating an example of Godwin's Law while doing it. He left Napistan with two supporters.
====Norlund Controversy====
====Norlund Controversy====
[[File:AntiNorlundMeme.jpg|500px|thumb|A meme created by RainOfPain125 to criticize the Norlund government at the time. ]]
Rain was almost instantly faced with opposition when the [[Paris Commune]] was accepted into the government. The king at the time did not know who Rain was, and accepted him. Some groups protested this as they were already familiar with Rain due to his prior actions. Rain subsequently posted Anarchist propaganda within the [[Norlund]] community, in an attempt to convince Norlunders of Anarchist ideology and its legitimacy. The opposition in Norlund called it spam and pushed for Rain to be warned or punished, ultimately Rain's position in the Norlish community worsened.[[File:TNAA.png|thumb|286x286px|Original borders of The No State Commune]]
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.
Things escalated for Rain when a member of Norlund posted a bounty against him, which was unheard of in Norlund at the time. Rain along with several citizens of Norlund protested this, insisting it was out of order to put a bounty on other Norlund citizens. The person was convinced to remove the bounty, but the damage had been done as the situation was escalating setting the stage for the climax of the escalation to come.

Eventually King Terry of Norlund could no longer play CivRealms, an event dubbed the "[https://civwiki.org/wiki/Norlund#The_Death_of_King_Terry_and_Constitutional_Crisis Death of King Terry and Constitutional Crisis]". In his absence, a referendum was announced on choosing a new king of Norlund. After the results were tallied, [[ShamelessShamus]] was elected as the new king of [[Norlund]]. In a few days, a minister of Norlund suddenly and randomly declared in the Discord that the Paris Commune was to be Norlund national territory, because of "prolonged inactivity". By the time Rain got online to protest this decision, the minister was offline.

In reaction to Rain's protesting, the new king Shamus argued that he had no authority over the matter, and that we would all have to wait for the minister to come back online. But only minutes later did the king take it back, claiming something along the lines of "if you give me coords and let me check out the Paris Commune, then I'll personally reinstate your status as a municipality". Rain knew this was extremely suspicious behavior, believing the king was probably going to try and pearl him, he decided to put all of his armor and belongings away into chests, to look as defenseless as possible -

Rain was both terrible at PvP and lacked any serious armor or weapons to fight back anyways. When Shamus arrived, he pretended to be casual and friendly and was led down into the commune bunker by Rain. As soon as Rain opened a chest to get carrots for feeding pigs in his underground farm, Shamus killed and pearled him.


When the Paris Commune was accepted into the government itself, Rainie would immediately face opposition from the majority of Norlund. Because of Rainie’s previous actions, most of Norlund would complain to the King of Norlund. The thing is, the king didn’t even look into him. So he just accepted the Paris Commune into the kingdom. He would then proceed to post large quantities of propaganda to the point at which it bordered on spam. As a result relations with citizens of Norlund and the Paris Commune would deteriorate further.
This was an extremely controversial event for Norlund and ShamelessShamus due to Rain being a Norlish citizen and the pearling being an extrajudicial killing. This event was dubbed "[https://civwiki.org/wiki/Norlund#The_King's_Crime The King's Crime]" and caused major unrest in Norlund. The pearl was handed over to a third party and the bounty collected.


Eventually King Terry of Norlund could no longer play CivRealms. As a result a referendum was held in which ShamelessShamus became the King of Norlund. A few days later the Paris Commune was declared national territory of Norlund by a minister within the Norlish Government. After an argument Shamus pearled Rainie. This was seen as a controversial move at the time within Norlund due to Rainie technically being a Norlish citizen and the pearling being an extrajudicial killing. It would come to be known as ''[[Norlund#The King's Crime|"The King's Crime"]].'' This would result in King Shamus being removed from power within Norlund. His defense is that Rainie was a threat to Norlund.
Rain fervently opposed this action in the Norlund Discord, arguing it was extremely out of line for a citizen of Norlund to pearl another citizen, especially with Shamus holding the title of king. Shamus's defense was that Rain was a threat to Norlund but couldn't provide any evidence to substantiate this claim. Later on CivUniverse he still holds that it was a good decision.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/pkLmDGo.jpg ShamelessShamus insisting pearling Rain was a good idea]</ref>


Around the same time as the bombing of CivCorp on September 25<sup>th</sup>, 2020 the remnants of the Paris Commune decided to fight against Norlund after the government dedicated the area to Newfriend homes on top of the Paris Commune. Because the area wasn’t bastioned the griefing could be executed with ease. The property of countless newfriends and their homes were destroyed as a result of the uprising. With Rainie and the Paris Commune finally getting banned from CivRealms.
Fast forward to the 25th of September, 2020, and the infamous Obsidian Bombing of [[CivCorp]] takes place. In the process, somebody releases Rain from his pearl.


====Involvement in the Paris Uprising====
====Involvement in the Paris Uprising====
[[File:RevengeOfParis1.png|thumb|left|A screenshot taken from an anonymous user who participated in the Paris uprising against Norlund authorities, showcasing two signs with defiant wording. ]]
After Rain was pearled, a new settlement, Kärme, was built on top of the Paris Commune by a few norlish newfriends, angering Rain severely. Days later, members of the Paris Commune came together in an effort to get revenge on Norlund. Rain unknowingly obtained the supplies necessary for the uprising, as the former members of Paris asked Rain to gather a shipment of cargo from the Napistan territories. Rain took an anonymous alt on a trip to Napistan. This user met up with a high rank of the IWW named ADAM, who escorted them through long corridors and rings of vaults until they arrived at a package, which was transferred to Rain - containing supplies for Rain's strike.
[[File:RevengeOfParis2.png|thumb|The aftermath of the Paris Uprising.]]


===CivUniverse===
Two users logged on, still inside of the Paris Commune since their last time being online. A third arrived to distribute supplies, and they began their work. It turned out that the area was not bastioned, so the uprising was conducted with ease. Huge casts of lava were made, on-top of stacks of cobblestone, which would have made removing all of the uprising's success incredibly difficult with the falling-cobblestone feature on CivRealms. Plenty of other parts of the area were destroyed, looted, and disrespected - devastating Kärme. Over the course of two days the three destroyed the area.
====Wyvern====
Rainie saw CivUniverse as an opportunity to spread his ideology even further. He would end up joining the small building nation of Wyvern with his friend UnknownKarnij. This stint wouldn’t last for long as a user named Prebanned along with a friend decided to travel to Wyvern and kill Rainie.


Of course this isn’t the end. He left Rainie’s pearl in a random chest in the middle of nowhere and the pearl would proceed to expire the next day. After this to make sure this didn’t happen again the council of Wyvern evicted Rainie but gave him time to gather his belongings and demolish his house. After this he’d move to a jungle where he’d proceed to build another underground commune named after Woody Gurthie. This town would eventually join the established country of Camertem. After this, he’d visit the Fempire Union. He’d eventually join the voice chat of the Fempire Union where its members would give Rainie harsh criticism, eventually resulting in Rainie being removed from the group chats and Rainie blocking those people.
In Norlund this action was generally regarded as terrorism and as the affected were newfriends, a complaint was filed to the staff team. Due to the established rules on CivRealms, their actions were in fact bannable. Thus the staff banned all players involved in the uprising, and even Rain who claims he did not participate directly. Everyone involved including Rain was tired of CivRealms at this point and gave up - it was their final act on Realms.


Rainie violated numerous rules on CivUniverse which led to him being frequently muted on both Discord and the CivUniverse global chat. Rainie frequently argued with notable player Vespasian, resulting in mutes and the eventual removal of the #shitflinging channel on the CivUniverse Discord. Rainie also continued to post his slightly civ-related IWW Discord, however after an investigation by CivUniverse staff in January 2021 revealed that the Discord was not centered around CivUniverse, it's advertising was not permitted on CivUniverse any further.
==CivUniverse==
===Wyvern===
Although Universe did not last long, Rain saw it as a new opportunity to create an anarchist group with former members of the IWW, notably [[ZombieStriker]], choosing to base in the middle of a dense jungle hoping nobody would find them. Although at first, Rain tried to join an existing nation to get a foothold into Universe, joining a small buildfriend nation named [[Wyvern]] with his friend [[UnknownKarnij]] from CivRealms.


Rainie was permanently banned from CivUniverse for [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/415706745566920716/884248652598624256/unknown.png doxing] on July 20th, 2021.
This did not last long however, as a shitter named prebanned along with another friend stormed into Wyvern, killing Rain with no reason provided besides "because its rain lol" and left, leaving Rain pearled in a random chest in the middle of nowhere, letting the pearl break after a day of not being fueled. Despite doing nothing wrong, the council of Wyvern decided to remove Rain from the town "to stay neutral" and gave him ample time to move his belongings and demolish his house.
===Camertem===
===CivClassics ===
Rainie had rejoined CivClassics on in Late June of 2021. He’d proceed to move to the north east quadrant of the map to build up and eventually establish another IWW, The No State Commune. But the place he chose to set up in was near a nation that held bad blood against him. The Federal Republic of Acadia was originally a country founded prior to the launch of CivUniverse and quickly became known as a newfriend & buildfriend nation and was even involved in the First Coaliton War against New Vegas in CivU. They decided to create a colony in CivClassics and eventually made the move to the server.
So then Rain moved to the jungle, beginning an underground commune that was never declared, named Guthrie Commune (named after Woody Guthrie). Rain at the time also joined another existing nation named [[Camertem]] in order to have access to factories and potentially to build some cool houses in their nation. However, while swamped with college study and work, he decided to spend his little time visiting a well-established communist nation named [[Fempire Union]], discussing with the owner and members in their public voice chat.


Rainie was known by Acadians as “The National Troll”. It wouldn’t be long until his past caught up to him. He ended up egging on raids mainly because of past grudges against Cortwade and JuniorTide. This would eventually lead to a pre-emptive strike against TNSC (mainly Rainie’s) bunker by Acadian forces to disable it to prevent further use. He was also logboxed by Okx and Ttastic which resulted in him doxing an unrealted builder Owain which led to him being banned from CivClassics.
Suddenly three members of [[Camertem]] joined the voice chat, yelling, berating and harassing him verbally. The members of Camertem were asked to leave the voice chat by everyone but they refused. They concluded with removing Rain and UnknownKarnij from [[Camertem]] discord and groups. Rain blocked all of them and made sure to steer clear of the hostile folks in Camertem from there on out.
===Exodus===
Rain recognized that the server was full of the worst shitters Civ had to offer, and there was a large controversy surrounding the owner [[Ian_X12]]. Rain was only shown a small snippet of the evidence against Ian when he first started playing Universe, and decided to give him a fair shot as the server owner. However, the [[CivUniverse]] staff team frequently allowed nazis, race-realists, and other alt-right reactionary bullshit to exist nearly unfiltered in the Discord.


Rainie is unlikely to come back as a result of being hated by Acadians, and Consortium (formerly TNSC) who wanted to disassociate from Rainie. This also led to one of Acadia’s biggest political scandals when it was found out that Rainie had made a deal with the two founders of the Workers’ Acadia Party (WAP) by offering him diamonds in return for newfriends to make them part of the WAP. After this was uncovered, numerous factories including a diamond tool factory were broken.
After enough backlash, Ian stepped in and removed the blatantly racist content, but in return, took an "all sides are bad" approach, abusing to mute Rain for posting Anarchist/Communist propaganda. All of this culminated in Rain giving up on Universe, which luckily for him was a great move considering how Universe turned out. Only later did Rain learn about all the controversies and fucked up things [[Ian_X12]] had said or done, including allowing doxxers or even well-known pedophiles like [[TWINKIEminer|TWinkieMiner]] to play on his server.


==Controversies==
====After-the-fact====
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 IWW election and how he didn’t want to give up power to a democratic election at first. He would also cause minor dramas in between 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.
[[Ian_X12]] came back many months later to announce that Rain was banned from Universe for "doxxing" despite Universe not existing anymore nor Rain being involved anymore. Though this was most likely an effort for Ian to try and save some face after the long strew of controversies surrounding him and his server.


==CivClassics==
== Beliefs ==
Rainie himself claims to be an Anarcho-Communist & Anarcho-Syndicalist though these two ideologies are not the same as Syndicalism and Communism are methodologically different in their management of economic affairs. Also his actions generally show different results from what would be expected of an anarchist. Rainie’s anarchist leanings have been questioned by a lot of people including people who lean towards more left wing ideologies as many of his actions have been criticized by many people as these actions have seems contradictory to the principles of any anarchist. This includes users such as Hiduckhi who’ve criticized Rainie as being “An Anarcho-Monarchist”. Many would argue that his ideas and beliefs at times are contradictory in nature and or claim that he’s out right lying about his true beliefs in order to gain power using ideology as a velvet glove.


==See Also==
===The No State Commune===
[[ZombieStriker]], having been the leader of the successor to the IWW on CivRealms (the [[Borealian Socialist Republic|BSR]]) became friends with Rain playing CivUniverse. CivUniverse died and Rain took a hiatus, while Zombie went on to play CivClassics joining Acadia. After some time Rain decided to join Classics. Zombie, at the time Minister of Interior in Acadia, secretly offered to help setup TNSC and provide materials.


===Tensions with Acadia===
Rainie settled near Acadia, which was founded by Cortwade, who was also part of the Norlund government on CivRealms. Rain was accused of sign-bombing JuniorTide's house with communist propaganda. Rain denied these accusations stating that the signs seemed State Socialist leaning, with messages like "NORTH KOREA BEST KOREA" and so forth - something an Anarchist would not write.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/kdym634.png Signs on JuniorTide's home]</ref>

===Accusations of involvement in raidings===
As Rain began recruiting for TNSC, most if not all of the recruits were new to Civ and had no idea how it worked. Many of them thought of raiding buildings they found along the way to the commune. However, there was a hardline effort to discourage raiding.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} One of the members had destroyed an Acadian chest to loot it and was caught later on. Rain demanded that the user turn themselves in and return the items they stole. Another user named Pentigrass, who is from the Anarchist Communist Association, went out of their way to try and fabricate things. Most notably, after trying to raid Icenia after being told not to, Pentigrass lied and claimed that Rain commanded him to do it. He thought that lying and saying Rain told him to would get him a lesser or removed sentence. When Rain confronted Pentigrass, he admitted to it in DMs to which Rain showed Icenian officials, leading to Pentigrass staying pearled.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/Z6g2i2B.png Pentigrass admits to lying about Rain commanding him to raid Icenia]</ref>

===Hostile interventions against TNSC===
On the 28th of July 2021 [[Egi]], [[JuniorTide]], and another unfamiliar used named [[Polygondwana]] broke into the TNSC bunker and broke a number of chests, supposedly taking an array of tools, 250+ diamonds, 50+ debris, among other things.<ref>[https://youtu.be/HswgrhV0CoE Before Acadia Raid]</ref><ref>[https://youtu.be/hELUBpgKkQo After Acadia raid]</ref> They published their explanation to the subreddit, after TNSC plead to the international stage asking for help.

In the same day Okx, TTastic, and MrJeremyFarmer launched an attack against the already well-raided TNSC. They attacked multiple members of the commune, chasing and being fixated on the members until they all logged off to save themselves.<ref>[https://youtu.be/ZuNTUehJLuc Okx raiding newfriend nation TNSC]</ref><ref>[https://youtu.be/kVsp5NoE0JI TTastic raiding newfriend nation TNSC]</ref><ref>[https://youtu.be/cPizRvkrOQg MrJeremyFarmer raiding newfriend nation TNSC]</ref>

===The Workers of Acadia Party scandal===
A user named [[FE Flags|FE_FLAGS]] ran a leftist party in Acadia, named Worker's of Acadia Party. Flags set up a deal with ZombieStriker, supposedly channeling resources to Rain if in return Rain helped recruit members for Acadia who would join their party. Rain has denied these accusations.

===Doxing accusation===
An Acadian accidently replied to one of Rain's comments on Reddit with his alt account. He deleted the comment and then made another comment with the same text, except on his main account. Rain noticed the two accounts sending the same message, because it was saved in his phone notifications despite the Acadian deleting the alt comment. Rain then publicized the alt account association, which held personal/professional information. Rain was then banned from CivClassic for three months. According to Rain he did not mean harm and it was meant as merely a joke.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}}

===Transfer of ownership of TNSC===
Rain transferred ownership of the TNSC groups to the most active member, Samsung Fridge, after realizing he was still active on the server. In order to do so, Rain had to log on for a brief few minutes to dump everything out of his inventory and transfer the ownership of the in-game group. At the same time, Rain asked his friend Karnij to get on and store his stuff as well, before others could get on and hunt them down. According to Rain, both vowed to never log in again.

Three members of Acadia went into TNSC territory to try to take a hold of Rain. They were told over and over to leave the area and refused. They tried to break into some buildings, placed some blocks, and did minor griefing. Due to tensions and them believing they were assisting Rain, all online TNSC members were eventually briefly pearled. Samsung tried to use Rain's logoff location as a bargaining chip, but got nothing out of it. In the end, Samsung had no clue where Rain logged and was merely bluffing.

==Skin==
Rain's skin is custom-made by himself, and is a character of himself wearing the highest ranked uniform of his former group, the RoyalArms, hence the letters "RA" on the back of the chest. The lines on the sides of the arm are supposed to represent his rank as HHR-5, or HierHighRank-5 of the RA. There are also golden epaulets that adorn his shoulders, signifying him as a high rank and/or a military official. Although the RoyalArms is now defunct, he enjoys the skin enough to keep it around.

==Bans==

===CivRealms===
Rain is officially permanently banned for "Lava bombing".

===CivUniverse===
Rainie is officially permanently banned from CivUniverse for [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/415706745566920716/884248652598624256/unknown.png doxing] on July 20th, 2021.

RainOfPain125 or as he’s commonly known as Rainie is the founder of The No State Commune on CivClassics and the IWW on CivRealms. He’s also a controversial player with a generally negative reputation as most of the server has negative opinions as a result of actions he’s done through out his time on the Civ servers he frequented.

Civ History

CivRealms

Rain's first sign on CivRealms

Rain began CivRealms as an ambitious new player. Wanting to build, make friends, organize, and in his words “unite the server’s leftists”. His goal on the server was try to “ideologically win” on the CivRealms server. Rain thought that he would need help in organizing. The conclusion was to build a nation that gathered enough members and resources to defend itself if presented with a threat by others on the server.

On the January 23rd, 2020 Rainie established the IWW, an organization of anarchist, socialist, and communist countries on the northern continent of Napistan though the anarchist part is disputed due to later events. Rainie chose this area because contesting existing claims would get him killed, and the northern continent of Napistan was largely unclaimed compared to the rest of the world.

When the IWW was declared on the 23rd of January, Rainie had recruited some players to join the server and began to set up communes in the region. The Communes of Tolstoy and Vescau (Later re-branded as Exarchos) were established. At the time, Rain didn’t possess a PC and could only organize. Encouraging players to move up to the northern continent to begin their settlement on the continent.

North-East Waterways Organization, which Rain participated in

When Rain was again able to play, he moved to Tolstoy, contributing to mining, and the excavation of a canal to provide easy travel under the North-East Waterways Organization or NEWO, a construction group founded by the creator of Tolstoy, Zazorg. Tolstoy started to become the heart of the IWW, the main town that members would stay around and contribute, up until later on with communes such as Bremerhaven.

The ACA, an anarcho-communist discord server run by Rainie and the potential source of attempted voter stuffing of the IWW Elections.

After enough basic organizing had been done and Rain had his PC, he begun a recruitment campaign utilizing a non-Civ Discord the Anarchist Communist Association along with Reddit posts the IWW quickly grew. Due to the recruitment drive, the IWW increased in members because of it. Many would argue that Rainie’s recruitment drive was spam in some aspects, such as the fact that the post was reposted to multiple subreddits.

The IWW was a very loose and disorganized group. Not because members didn’t agree ideologically, but because many didn’t fully understand the mechanics present on CivRealms which later lead to the easy bombing of Tolstoy by PartyAnimal. Rainie and EmDubleYou were pearled during the bombing, as Vanax disguised as PartyAnimal. Allies came and removed the obsidian and freed Rainie and Ems’ pearls. The lasting damage from the raid caused five Tolstoians to quit and the city would go into a period of decline.

Rainie continued to work until he fully understood the RealisticBiomes plugin, now understanding that most of the continent could not grow any crops, he sought to expand the IWW's claims across Napistan to more land that was arable enough to grow carrots.

Conveniently, Greenland threatened the IWW if it did not leave its surrounding land in the center-south of Napistan on the coast. Only 1-2 days later, the two people who ran Greenland quit the server, but not before giving up their group to a member of the IWW.

In early February after a vote by Narwhal_19, the IWW extended its claims farther south gaining a carrot farm in the south as a result. However, this conflicted with farms MCSPenguin had in the area. After a short border conflict, the claims were adjusted and Penguinland was created. Despite the negotiations with Penguin, Rainie decided to try clearing Penguin's bastions in the region. After being caught by Penguin he was pearled. Rainie claims that he was trying to build a railroad in the area but these claims have been proven to be false by other accounts. He was pearled for griefing said bastioned land for two weeks.

The IWW decided to use this time to create a new role conduct diplomacy, trade, and organization in the IWW named the "Union Organizer" or UO. After a vote, despite Rain being fiercely against the general concept of transferring ownership to someone who could simply destroy or ruin the entire project, it was decided that the position of owner should be democratically elected, which prompted a vote to elect a new Server Organizer.

Many folks including Rain, Freezor, Ian, Pierre, and Hiduck ran for the new position. Initially, the opposition was divided between Ian, Feezor and Hiduck initially. Simultaneously, due to the unfairness of the vote by the Rainites especially as it became evident that Rainie was vote-stuffing by means of inviting new and inactive members from ACA to vote in the IWW election. The result of the discovery of Rainie’s voter fraud attempts led to the Crab Coup. Despite his attempts at ballot stuffing the election results did come in, Rainie had only gotten 20% of the vote compared to the Crab Coalition’s 80%.

At the end of the day Rainie did honor the vote and transferred ownership of the IWW. In spite of this he attempted to undermine the new leadership as well as spam shit tier memes. This ended up with him getting banned from the IWW discord. After which he’d end up making a long reddit post which was received negatively by the IWW and the server as a whole.

A meme created by RainOfPain125 to criticize the nations that came out of the Duckapore-IWW schism several months after his ousting.

After being democratically defeated, Rainie was ousted and banned from the IWW after attempting to undermine the new leadership and spamming the IWW discord creating an example of Godwin's Law while doing it. He left Napistan with two supporters.

Norlund Controversy

A meme created by RainOfPain125 to criticize the Norlund government at the time.

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.

When the Paris Commune was accepted into the government itself, Rainie would immediately face opposition from the majority of Norlund. Because of Rainie’s previous actions, most of Norlund would complain to the King of Norlund. The thing is, the king didn’t even look into him. So he just accepted the Paris Commune into the kingdom. He would then proceed to post large quantities of propaganda to the point at which it bordered on spam. As a result relations with citizens of Norlund and the Paris Commune would deteriorate further.

Eventually King Terry of Norlund could no longer play CivRealms. As a result a referendum was held in which ShamelessShamus became the King of Norlund. A few days later the Paris Commune was declared national territory of Norlund by a minister within the Norlish Government. After an argument Shamus pearled Rainie. This was seen as a controversial move at the time within Norlund due to Rainie technically being a Norlish citizen and the pearling being an extrajudicial killing. It would come to be known as "The King's Crime". This would result in King Shamus being removed from power within Norlund. His defense is that Rainie was a threat to Norlund.

Around the same time as the bombing of CivCorp on September 25th, 2020 the remnants of the Paris Commune decided to fight against Norlund after the government dedicated the area to Newfriend homes on top of the Paris Commune. Because the area wasn’t bastioned the griefing could be executed with ease. The property of countless newfriends and their homes were destroyed as a result of the uprising. With Rainie and the Paris Commune finally getting banned from CivRealms.

Involvement in the Paris Uprising

A screenshot taken from an anonymous user who participated in the Paris uprising against Norlund authorities, showcasing two signs with defiant wording.
The aftermath of the Paris Uprising.

CivUniverse

Wyvern

Rainie saw CivUniverse as an opportunity to spread his ideology even further. He would end up joining the small building nation of Wyvern with his friend UnknownKarnij. This stint wouldn’t last for long as a user named Prebanned along with a friend decided to travel to Wyvern and kill Rainie.

Of course this isn’t the end. He left Rainie’s pearl in a random chest in the middle of nowhere and the pearl would proceed to expire the next day. After this to make sure this didn’t happen again the council of Wyvern evicted Rainie but gave him time to gather his belongings and demolish his house. After this he’d move to a jungle where he’d proceed to build another underground commune named after Woody Gurthie. This town would eventually join the established country of Camertem. After this, he’d visit the Fempire Union. He’d eventually join the voice chat of the Fempire Union where its members would give Rainie harsh criticism, eventually resulting in Rainie being removed from the group chats and Rainie blocking those people.

Rainie violated numerous rules on CivUniverse which led to him being frequently muted on both Discord and the CivUniverse global chat. Rainie frequently argued with notable player Vespasian, resulting in mutes and the eventual removal of the #shitflinging channel on the CivUniverse Discord. Rainie also continued to post his slightly civ-related IWW Discord, however after an investigation by CivUniverse staff in January 2021 revealed that the Discord was not centered around CivUniverse, it's advertising was not permitted on CivUniverse any further.

Rainie was permanently banned from CivUniverse for doxing on July 20th, 2021.

CivClassics

Rainie had rejoined CivClassics on in Late June of 2021. He’d proceed to move to the north east quadrant of the map to build up and eventually establish another IWW, The No State Commune. But the place he chose to set up in was near a nation that held bad blood against him. The Federal Republic of Acadia was originally a country founded prior to the launch of CivUniverse and quickly became known as a newfriend & buildfriend nation and was even involved in the First Coaliton War against New Vegas in CivU. They decided to create a colony in CivClassics and eventually made the move to the server.

Rainie was known by Acadians as “The National Troll”. It wouldn’t be long until his past caught up to him. He ended up egging on raids mainly because of past grudges against Cortwade and JuniorTide. This would eventually lead to a pre-emptive strike against TNSC (mainly Rainie’s) bunker by Acadian forces to disable it to prevent further use. He was also logboxed by Okx and Ttastic which resulted in him doxing an unrealted builder Owain which led to him being banned from CivClassics.

Rainie is unlikely to come back as a result of being hated by Acadians, and Consortium (formerly TNSC) who wanted to disassociate from Rainie. This also led to one of Acadia’s biggest political scandals when it was found out that Rainie had made a deal with the two founders of the Workers’ Acadia Party (WAP) by offering him diamonds in return for newfriends to make them part of the WAP. After this was uncovered, numerous factories including a diamond tool factory were broken.

Controversies

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 IWW election and how he didn’t want to give up power to a democratic election at first. He would also cause minor dramas in between 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.

Beliefs

Rainie himself claims to be an Anarcho-Communist & Anarcho-Syndicalist though these two ideologies are not the same as Syndicalism and Communism are methodologically different in their management of economic affairs. Also his actions generally show different results from what would be expected of an anarchist. Rainie’s anarchist leanings have been questioned by a lot of people including people who lean towards more left wing ideologies as many of his actions have been criticized by many people as these actions have seems contradictory to the principles of any anarchist. This includes users such as Hiduckhi who’ve criticized Rainie as being “An Anarcho-Monarchist”. Many would argue that his ideas and beliefs at times are contradictory in nature and or claim that he’s out right lying about his true beliefs in order to gain power using ideology as a velvet glove.
