Tweetabix: Difference between revisions

Tweetabix joined CivRealms for the first time on 10 April 2020. Immediately having asked in chat for a nation to join, [[Norlund#Yoslan|'''Antea4204''']] invited him to join [[Norlund]]. He then rented an apartment in [[Norlund#Kannin|Kannin]] city centre from '''Cirex22'''. By the end of the first two days he had begun constructing a house in then-derelict West Kannin, because as a Recruit he did not yet have full access to Norlund's bastion network. Early on he worked for King '''[[Terry]]''', laying snitches around Norlund and testing defensive mechanisms. He also got to know Pope [[Norlund#Vatican City|Leobenet]], who converted him to Vatican Papalism. He realised the strategic location of his new property and built it as a mixed use development with a shop front as well as a residential entrance.

On 15 April 2020, Tweet participated in the official opening of the Norlund Supreme Court, built by '''SirBoss'''. During the drinking session that followed, both Tweet and SirBoss fell into Kannin Lake, which at the time was not fenced off. King Terry personally rescued both players. Tweet realised the only way to walk straight was to ride a horse, and so mounted his horse, ''Hurr I'm a Hoers'' (recently given to him by '''Sixx'''), for the rest of the evening. During this evening, Sixx, King Terry and Tweet raced around Kannin, Veria and Tallum by horse, and discussed the creation of an international horse derby in Norlund.

King Terry made Tweet a Norlund Citizen on 17 April 2020.

On 18 April 2020, Tweet drowned whilst assisting SirBoss in the creation of Kannin Pier. His bed didn't work which gave him an opportunity to see some other parts of the server for the first time. He got back to Kannin in time for the official opening of the pier and to finish his house.

On 20 April 2020, [[Norlund#Palaisance|'''Raptor''']] vouched for Tweet to enter CivCorp, and on 23 April he visited CivCorp for the first time, describing it as “mighty” and “a real feat.” He also visited [[Varathia]] to purchase picks for himself and Antea.

On 26 April, Tweet started supporting CivRealms on [https://www.patreon.com/Civcrafters/posts Patreon] and got an aqua nick. Soon after this Tweet came up with the idea for Norlund Rocks. During a trip to CivCorp on 2 May, he joined '''Tritonio’s''' [[CivCorp|Maze]] club as part of his research into existing minigames and started a [[CivMint]] account for the first time. On 3 May, Tweet asked Pope Leobenet to say a prayer before he enchanted some boots. Having done so, Tweet then got Feather Falling on the boots. This is said to be an ecumenical moment for him.

On 10 May Tweet travelled to '''[[Zen]]''' to participate in the first [[Zen|Altercation at the Altar]] as further minigame research. The Pope warned him not to do so. Tweet was defeated in less than 30 seconds by [[Saviors City|MSPaintDaily]], who was himself eliminated mere seconds later.

On 12 May, Tweet did some terraforming in Ansgar for '''Sir Grettir''', and later commented that all the stam the Vikings paid him to dig was recycled into the Viking XP Shop so he could repair his tools. Coincidentally and unrelated to this jibe, it was on this day Jarl '''Shamus''' invited him to become a Viking. Tweet chose the Old Norse name of Orvar Kiks, meaning Arrow Biscuits. Initially Tweet struggled with being a Viking as it meant abandoning the Christian Faith.

On 16 May, Tweet announced he had broken his computer trying to do upgrades on it. This resulted in a 2 week period of limited activity, with his house in Kannin surrounded by a quarantine tape warning players not to enter, lest they catch Computerovirus themselves.

During this period, Tweet stuck to the West Kannin area, focusing on beautifying the run down area just as SirBoss completed the Kannin Grand Central Station district of West Kannin. It was at this point Tweet started trying to sell his house for 15-20 stam valued by “an un-independent adjudicator” who remains suspiciously anonymous. SirBoss also gave him a shop in the new station area in exchange for helping to dig it out.

On 29 May, one day after completing the Onboard exchanges, Tweet announced he was clear of computerovirus. One day later, he built a Viking Helmet atop Kannin Castle to celebrate the ascension of Shamus, Jarl of Ansgar, to the throne of all of Norlund. He then completed the outer shell of the "'''Norlund Rocks'''" climbing centre and began building the inside climbing wall, with a view to opening the centre in time for Kannin's upcoming Carrot Festival.

On 2 June, Tweet realised that the amount of building materials he was hoarding were struggling to fit in the limited storage space at his house, even if he moved some into the shops and climbing centre. He decided to exercise his right as a dual cantonal citizen to build a base in the Ansgar canton, and built a huge wooden barrel near the Dutch city of Vlaardingen. This build was entirely unrelated to the coming Secession, as Tweet was not privvy to the inner workings of the Ansgar independence movement.

Over the next few days, politics in Norlund became much more complex and Tweet, being a citizen of Kannin as well as a Viking as well as knowing a bit about surveys, ended up as a deputation for the Ansgar rebels. During this time Tweet, as a Kannin citizen and Ansgar deputation, stepped up to the mark in order to ensure that the wording of a referendum form between Ansgar and Norlund as to the ownership of Kannin created "the best deal for Kannin citizens."

A lengthy Discord debate began between Tweetabix and SirBoss on one side, representing Ansgar Vikings with a stake in Kannin, and Norlish government officials Groxlord and GetSkinny- neither of them Kannin residents. Tweet argued for:
