The 1924 homeless rebellion was a short lived event headed by Koi Goodfox in August, 1924.

Background & Motivation

Foxcubensis had just joined the server on August 2024 after having an urge to rediscover Faru. Koi Goodfox, a loose canon of a character was their first character. After Koi joined the server, they went north to find a new home only to find out it was completely inhabited. They were told by members 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.

After arriving, 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 message would be the best course of action - 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.

The Shanty Town would serve not only as a temporary home, but a political message aswell, and other unhoused people would join suit, forming "The Boxcars"

Rebellion & Demands

Soon after the construction began, approximately one day after, Koi Goodfox would make a speech, demanding the following:

• 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.

A common theme of the rebellion was the lack of housing, and the nationalized housing and other public infrastructure being "too smelly". The hobos would picket and protest while fighting Urbis City residents and government forces until the downfall, however a short alliance with the Apes during the Farun Bush War led to the Boxcars obtaining netherite armor and weapons.

Downfall

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"
