Reus was a prominent member of the Imperium Offtopicum "middle guard" active from 2014–2018. Known as a renaissance man for his rich roleplay and artistic talent, he was one of the most beloved members of the community, and the original author of the IOT Civ4 mod. He originally quit IOT in December 2018 in solidarity with SouthernKing over political toxicity in the chat community,[1] purging most of his online gallery in the process, although he maintained a limited presence on the Civ4 forums. He made a low-key return to IOT in 2019, quitting for good in August 2020 following the implosion of his planned tribute to Imperium Offtopicum XIV due to back-door disputes.[2] In July 2021 he deleted virtually his entire participation record in IOT, and has not been active on CivFanatics since.
Reus was a brief contributor early in DRAW Your Own Story: At Plot's End, submitting two comics featuring an alien faction before disappearing. Some time after 2016 he deleted all his posts in the thread; reference to his involvement survives through other users' correspondence.[3][4][5][6][7][8], and a direct citation in Stylesjl's comic.[9] Reus would later suggest Thorvald of Lym, CivGeneral and e350tb had colluded in a metagame conspiracy against him in IdIOT, apparently based on their familiarity in DYOS.
