The 1924 homeless rebellion was a short lived event headed by Koi Goodfox in August, 1924. It was the defining event for Koi's character and Foxcubensis's debut scheme.

Background & Motivation

Foxcubensis (Sierra) had just joined the server on August 2024 after having an urge to rejoin Infaru after along hiatus from being Infaru 2's left hand admin. Koi Goodfox was their first character, a scheming loose canon, mostly and short-sighted character and a joke as Fox didn't expect to stay on Infaru for long.

After Sierra joined the server, they went north to find a new home only to find out it was completely inhabited. When inquiring server members on where they could stay, they were told that Urbis City was the best candidate for their new home - so they traveled south and were amazed at the level of construction and the quality of buildings done. praising Renarchat on enabling such a thriving server. Seeing the level of development in Urbis City encouraged her to stay on the server.

After arriving at Urbis City, Koi Goodfox would struggle to find a place to live, as many plots were taken up and Novak was not available to sell Goodfox a plot of land.

Construction of the camp

Koi Goodfox would find that sending a political message would be the best course of action to solve their housing crisis (and make a name for themselves again after a haitus) - and on August 26th, they would build a shanty town on Parliament's front lawn, built from stolen materials such as spruce and wool from unlocked chests surrounding Urbis and providence.

The Shanty Town, formally known as the "Infaru Atonymous Zone", would serve not only as a temporary home, but a way to deliver her political message aswell, and other (fictional) unhoused people would join suit, forming the rag-tag group "The Boxcars".

The Lynching

The Lynching by a de-facto private and government forces occurred mere hours after theInfaru Atonymous Zone's construction, with members of the mob including Godfrey, Av Rosting and Joe Farmer. The lynching would conclude in an invasion and partial destruction of Koi Goodfox's primary residence, with Koi being sent unconcious to the hospital after attempting to punch one of the mob members our of her home.

Rebellion & Demands

Demands

Soon after the Infaru Atonymous Zone was formed, approximately one day after, Koi Goodfox would make a speech, stating the Boxcar's Demands:

• A luxury hoboplex built in the heart of urbis, with a wet bar, a chicken coop filled with hens that lay soft boiled eggs, warm beds, handouts so plentiful they grow on bushes, and train tracks near moments away
• A budget allocated to renovating Urbis's National Housing with quartz, fabreeze and airfresheners.
• Classification of unhoused people as a protected disabled class
• Welfare for the unhoused
• A bench on every street, and a sign for every beggar
• The complete and total abolishment of an honest day's work.

These demands would be a common theme of the rebellion, and the boxcars would picket and protest throughout the following days to the downfall.

Armament by the Apes

A short alliance with the Apes during the Farun Bush War led to the Boxcars obtaining netherite armor and weapons.

Presidency stint

Koi Goodfox would caste their name in Presidential elections as a joke, to be a vermin supreme-esqe character, and would also build a Children's hospital in the shanty town as a way to give it more credibility and "make it a war crime to destroy it.". The election would end up rather successful in the September 2024 Presidential Election First Round.

Opposition

Many Faruns were vocally opposed, spewing anti-unhoused slurs such as bum and phrases such as "get a job", assaulting Boxcar members, giving anti-homeless panthlets and a variety of other hatecrimes. On a few occasions, faruns would fire guns from rooftops into the camp and at Boxcar members.

Downfall & Destruction

Mayor of Urbis Novak would eventually get tired of the shanty town, and on August 30th, 1924, would destroy the shantytown with government forces while Koi Goodfox peacefully complied, placing the items in chests. Premeir Novak would end up giving Koi a free plot of land as a concession, where koi promised to build a "1.2 million lira abortionplex"

Arrest of Koi Goodfox & Cranberry Lawsuit

Days after the downfall of the Boxcars and the shanty town, Senator and Farun Army Member Francis Urquhart (Cranberry), in collaboration with Judge Beavis, would attempt to serve Koi Goodfox with an arrest warrant for trespassing and rioting, among other things. The arrest surprisingly yielded universal backlash and was received as an attempt of election interference and extrajudicial punishment. The warrant would be revoked by the court, and Francis would be dishonorably discharged from the Farun military, with reasoning also being the P7/24 campaign to overthrow President Victor.

Common themes for backlash against the arrest included:

• Francis waited irl days post-downfall to arrest koi goodfox for the shanty town; After a large character arc from Koi Goodfox into an upstanding CEO and presidential candidate; and after a de-facto conclusion to the event (Koi abandoning the town and novak giving Koi land in urbis),
• The warrant was delivered directly after a presidential debate where Koi Goodfox was a participant,
• No one had heard of the arrest warrant, not even the chief justice, and the judge who approved it resigned immediately after.

Once Koi Goodfox was appointed censor, a lawsuit was served to Francis. The lawsuit went nowhere due to holes in OOC-IC rules, misguidance from the Chief Justice, and crimes not being properly defined in the Penal Code.
