===Wyvern===

Rain saw CivUniverse as an opportunity to begin again. 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 Rain.

Of course this isn’t the end. He left Rain’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 Rain but gave him time to gather his belongings and demolish his house.

At the same time Rain would join Camertem. Though Rain was very busy with college which prevented him from playing often. He decided to spend some of his precious time to visit the [[Fempire Union]].

He’d join the voice chat of the Fempire Union and hang out while touring the nation, until members of Camertem raided the voice chat and verbally berated Rain for minutes, making tens of accusations and interrogating him randomly in the Fempire voice chat, which made Rain and everyone else there very uncomfortable, with members of Fempire asking them multiple times to leave and take it somewhere else. After a few minutes of screaming and accusing, they ended with saying that Rain and his friends were kicked out of Camertem and not allowed back for no reason provided, with no evidence provided.

Rain got on the nerves of the CivUniverse staff which led to him being frequently muted on both Discord and the CivUniverse global chat. Rain frequently argued with notable player [[Vespasian]] who was posting content about race theory among other racist things, resulting him being muted and the eventual removal of the #shitflinging channel on the CivUniverse Discord. Rain also regularly posted and advertised the IWW Discord, however after an investigation by CivUniverse staff in January 2021 they forbade Rain from advertising the IWW, believing that the Discord was not centered around CivUniverse.

=CivClassics=

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

=Controversies=

Rain has been a subject of several controversies in the Civ community and is generally perceived 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 outcome of a vote he claims was rigged.

===The Owain Incident===

Shortly 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. 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 argues that he never looked at the account before posting the image, nor did he intend to dox the user. However, his action was seen as an attempt to dox the user, ~~of which this user~~ was from Acadia. As a result of this, people called for Rain to be banned from CivClassics.

Rain counter-argued that he didn't 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 dox 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 temporarily ban Rain for one month. This struck less observant users as weird, because doxers are almost always permanently banned.

=Beliefs=

Rain himself claims to be an Anarcho-Communist & Anarcho-Syndicalist, both of which are slightly different in their management of economic affairs. He supports whichever one seems the most fitting for the situation at hand.

~~He also~~ claims to be a Platformist & Synthesis Anarchist, ~~which~~ ~~may~~ ~~seem~~ ~~like~~ a ~~contradiction~~. Platformism argues that Anarchists should be grouped together based on a common set of ideas and strategy, while Synthesis Anarchism argues all Anarchists should unite despite their ideological differences. He supports Platformism when possible, and Synthesis Anarchism as a backup to achieve economic, military, and political goals.

Rain claims to be a Platformist & Synthesis Anarchist, despite many of the contradictions between ideologies. Platformism argues that Anarchists should be grouped together based on a common set of ideas and strategy, while Synthesis Anarchism argues all Anarchists should unite despite their ideological differences. He supports Platformism when possible, and Synthesis Anarchism as a backup to achieve economic, military, and political goals.

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.
