'''Vintage Civ''' is a [[Civ]] server on [[Vintage Story]] that had its first beta released on the 2nd of January 2022.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageStory/comments/ruif1f/vintage_civ_the_first_official_beta_release_of_a/</ref>
Along with the intense hyper-realism of vanilla Vintage Story, Vintage Civ uses a variety of new plugins, most notably the Shackle Gear <ref>SimpleBastard (February 3 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/927070837947916348/938834740784541706 Shackle Gear Shackle Gear is a prison system developed for Vintage Story and Abject Poverty Craft by Novocain. Players can make a “Shackle Gear” item (can be searched in the handbook) that allows them to imprison or ‘shackle’ another player. When a player is shackled their build/break, and pvp]</ref>. Previously used on [[AbjectPovertyCraft]], the Shackle Gear works similarly to [[Prison Pearl]] as a means for players to self-police themselves, a notable "rule" of the Civ genre, being the idea of an “anarchistic gaming experiment” <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageStory/comments/ruif1f/vintage_civ_the_first_official_beta_release_of_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref>. Other features include [[Citadel]] built into the VS base game as plumb-and-square Reinforcement, to make up for absence of vanilla Vintage Story land claiming which prevents players from interacting, placing, or destroying blocks inside the land claim (at no cost whatsoever, unlike Reinforcement).

Through May 30th and May 31th there has been several instances of player conflict with the members of the

</ref>, and Ratchet_Sly <ref>Ratchet_Sly (May 31 2022)[https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/981336338060177408 @CaptainOats did you just kill me?] </ref>.
[[File:Raided.png|thumb|One of three images posted by Dythanos on June 1st showing what he did to Crimson Cliffs after their attack on Djanimehri beforehand]]
Approximately 5 hours after this raid occurred, Dythanos located the Crimson Cliffs' settlement and quickly began counter raids of his own. Combatants included Forks, Apotheosis, Captain Oats, and PlagueDoctor<ref name=":2">[[File:Crimson-(.png|thumb|The Crimson members who got killed by Dythanos ]]
</ref> (Crimson Cliffs) and only Dythanos (Djanimehri). All present Crimson Cliffs members suffered multiple casualties as Dythanos engaged equipped with iron armor and weapons, severely out gearing them<ref name=":2" />. Two more of these raids were conducted throughout the night as Dythanos settled on a scorched earth policy, destroying what structures he could and despawning any resources he could not carry, this being contrary to the Crimson Cliffs' choice to leave what could not be carried within undisturbed containers and refrain from razing structures. As said by Luke, Dythanos just about got their ([[Djanimehri]]) revenge with the killing of CaptainOats, Forks, and PlagueDoctor557 on May 31 <ref>Luke (May 31 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/981421051634384906 @Dythanos got our revenge]</ref>
On June the 1st Djanimehri member Luke posted a document about the entire situation, why it occurred and the aftermath of it. It states due to Dythanos' past hostility towards his neighbors in 1.0, Crimson went themselves to Djanimehri in an attempt to weaken the town as a whole due to Dythanos being affiliated with Djan as a member, something Crimson did not see good for them. It is clear using text evidence from Dythanos himself on Discord <ref>Dythanos (June 1 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/968985098567438356/981755635886616626 Raiders and plunderers must be purged from the world. No quarter]

I accept my exile peacefully.]</ref> and the document "...Dythanos is not yet satisfied that justice has been served" that while now exiled, Dythanos is still not satisfied with what was done to Crimson, that he may want more.

====== June 13-16 ======
On June 14th the raider Meunster was found being harbored by a small group of players beneath the town Hyperborea <ref>Meunster (June 14 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/986458391457173654 not kindread hyperboria]</ref> mainly built by player DonaldTrump, keeping the criminal out of anyone else's sights. Previously thought to be peaceful, the small group of players who were then living within the Vikings of Vintages' lands whilst harboring a notorious criminal were later caught through a joint raiding venture from members of the Vikings of Vintage. As a statement to the world, the Vikings torched and looted the village <ref>Davis (June 27 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/980609940144144465/980874587791327293/987147606943735848 Official Decree I 2022-06-16 On June 14th, through the help of allies, it was discovered that Muenster was being harbored by a clan native to Viking lands. Previously thought to be peaceful, DonaldTrump and company allowed Muenster to base under their village. Through a joint raiding venture, we were able to free Muenster of most of his valuables, along with DonaldTrump. As a statement to the world, we torched part of his village. We officially decree Muenster, DonaldTrump and all other associate’s, enemies of our people. They will be hunted with impunity by the Vikings until they are captured and shackled until the end of 2.0. From this point forward, we declare that any outsiders trespassing in our lands without permission will be subject to KoS. Those that are considered friends, ally’s or have a merchant pass are excluded from this new law. Regards Davis, Vikings of Vintage]</ref> and from then on imposed a new law which states any trespassing on Viking lands are to be KoS'ed and those considered friends or merchants to the Vikings are exempt from this law.
During an investigation of the now-ghost town of Hyperborea finds that an unknown individual drew a dozen or so phallic images around the town <ref>Meunster (June 14 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/928765698543616050/986453388747227226 Anyone recognize the author of this art piece? They left it behind at my subjects abode after they raided it](image)</ref>. Another detail not fully understood is the presence of the "group Dythanos", a group created by an unknown player and at an unknown time which was the group used for a large amount of the reinforcements found at the raided Hyperborea <ref>[[File:Fakeplayer.png|thumb|An example of the 'impersonation' trick at Hyperborea. Notice the "group" before the playername]]
</ref>. This is a somewhat unknown technique that can be used in Vintage Story to "impersonate" a player's reinforcements or locks on certain placed blocks by tricking players who view the block into thinking its reinforced by a certain player not a group as anyone can create a group under any name to do that. An example of this tactic being to possibly frame a player as being allied with a certain group or to show them off as a bad person, both examples which has specifically happened during either 1.0 or 2.0.
