TiigriKiisu

TiigriKiisu, also known as Estonian Tiger or simply Tiger, is young writer native to Estonia.

Origin of Name
TiigriKiisu is Estonian translation of Tiger Kitten. This was the name one of Tiger's classmates thought to be his YouTube channel name. While it in fact wasn't, Tiger liked that name due to its similarity to Tiger's profile picture.

Renai~Chan (2017-2018)
Tiger's first username was Renai~Chan. It comes from song "Renai Circulation", one of Monogatari opening themes.

Taiga~Chan and Tiger Taiga (2018)
After becoming ToraDora fan, Tiger changed his username accordingly - along with Monogatari and ToraDora crossover profile picture, Tiger's username became to refer to Taiga, the main character of ToraDora.

Estonian (Empire) Tiger (2018-2019 Summer)
At unknown point of 2018, Tiger changed his username to Estonian Empire Tiger, along with first confirmed usage of "Chibi Taiga the Tiger" profile picture on 7th September 2018.

Somewhere around January 2019 the username was shortened to Estonian Tiger. Shortened username lasted until the Summer of 2019.

TiigriKiisu
The early Summer of 2019 saw Tiger to finally adopt the username TiigriKiisu.

 * TiikeriKiis (Finnish)

TiigriKiisu (November 2019-today)
Around November 2019, the era of Tiger name variants was coming to an end, and username returned to TiigriKiisu.

History
Born in Tartu, Estonia, Tiger has never lived outside the city for longer than three weeks.

Early life
While any information regarding his childhood is classified, it is known that his childhood was very lonely. While he made quite few friends, most of time he preferred to spend time indoors rather than outdoors.

Tiger's achievements were largely unknown for most of his school era. However, his performance in history and literature was outstanding.

The Summer of 2016 became one of most important dates for Tiger: first, he discovered Sabaton, a Swedish heavy metal band, and a few days later he was impressed by AMVs (anime music videos) of Sabaton songs. The animes used in AMVs became Tiger's first watched animes (Shuumatsu no Izetta, Hai Furi, Girls und Panzer), despite the period between the first two animes being four months.

However, after finishing Shuumatsu no Izetta for first time, Tiger rewatched its episodes the entire week. Around that time was also first appearance of what would later lead Tiger's writing - desire to make changes to original plot.

The Beginning...
Tiger joined the Discord on May 15th of 2018. Upon joining, he spent a month with his friends, learning how to use Discord. While his friends' group was abandoned very soon, Tiger didn't give up on Discord, and on 9th July 2018, he joined The Oreo Bar, server of oreomonogatari, whose fan Tiger was around then.

23rd July of 2018 became yet another important date in Tiger's life - this was the date he was introduced to Azur Lane, one of the games that would direct his life for some time, alongside Hearts of Iron IV (2016) and Age of Empires III (possibly 2011).

Toastland Hearts of Anime
Anime mods of Hearts of Iron IV have left lifelong impression on Tiger. While he most likely was a fan of Toastland: Hearts of Anime long before July 2018, first recorded usage is dated on August 14th of 2018.

Next step in this chapter was the joining of THoA server. Again, there is no exact date known, but after digging in Tiger's phone gallery, first confirmed THoA server membership was found to be on 12th December 2018.

While there aren't much of screenshots saved from THoA era, it is clear that it was good and memorable time. However, problems began to arise around January 2019, when it was announced THoA would no longer be updated. Despite this, the community lived on until June 25th, when the server was closed.

From Exile to New Home
On 31th May 2019, Tiger agreed to help a fellow member of THoA server to set up his own server and organize it. Said server's name was The Hangout, and it would play central role in Tiger's life from June to November.

June 2019
On 15th June, as a result of "diplomatic incident", Tiger joined another Discord server, namely Akihabara Anomaly, yet another HoI4 mod. Akihabara Anomaly would become the first member of future KuldLiit servers group

The 18th June saw the beginning of Hearts of Anime II development. Tiger quickly assumed the leadership, leading a team of five.

June 21st was the day Tiger was accepted to Eesti Klubi as full member. Eesti Klubi is a Discord server of anime club "Fluffy Otakus".

Perhaps most destructive event before the 10th September was what Tiger calls Finem de Intium - Toastland: Hearts of Anime server was closed forever. Rest of the members mostly relocated to The Hangout.

The Hangout became new home for Tiger, many friendships were made and politics done, but in the end, dramas took the toll and he left the server on 4th of September.

The First Downfall
Following what became known as Tigris Ruina, Tiger continued leading the HoA II development from exile, until the September 10th.

10th of September was supposed to be HoA II release date. Not much is shared about what exactly happened, but in the end, Tiger left the team and development. This became known as the Second Tigris Ruina.

Following the disaster, Tiger's personality changed totally. Usually easygoing and prideful Estonian became depressed and suicidal loner. This was probably the lowest point and worst experience in his life.

Nevertheless, he continued in HoI4 mod development, and after some time, he also managed to resolve the issues regarding HoA II. However, the damage was done, and HoA II was surpassed by rival mod, Anime no Sekai, which home server Tiger joined on October 27th. This server became known as Star Empire.

Star Empire period
In his new home server, he quickly proved himself as very active member, very supportive of the mod creator and overally an OG. Nevertheless, SE saw Tiger leave many times, sometimes ending up lucky.

SE period was when Tiger befriended some of most important people he has ever known.

Tiger was one of the figures behind the First Pat Revolution on April 24th. It was his action that caused the members to follow suit and overpower the staff, but by the end of the day, Tiger signed a peace treaty, ending the conflict inconclusively.

Around the end of the April SE was under attack by raiders, which prompted Tiger to retaliate, ending up fighting with wrong server. This became diplomatic incident, causing him to leave SE out of embarrassment. With further problems on 2nd of May, this became known as Tigris de Proditio, nearly ending his career.

Despite his exile, he wasn't as affected by it as he was events from 2019, and he managed to quickly resettle.

Tiger's return to SE on June 20th ended with the Second Pat Revolution on July 2nd, this time led by Tiger too. Ending with revolutionaries' victory, the conflict however wasn't resolved, and on 4th of July, Tiger left SE again.

An incident from the Second Pat Revolution caused a spark that led to the Third Pat Revolution, this time featuring many of the OGs and staff against the server owner. Despite being away from the server on 12th of July, he indirectly participated, joining the owner's side.

While technically the owner didn't give in and revolutionaries had to leave the server or were kicked, revolutionaries managed to gather enough support from members to take away almost entire activity.

Tiger saw this as once-a-lifetime opportunity and began indirectly influencing the community that stood up from the ruins. With most of the OGs gone, Tiger was one of four remaining OGs, and returned SE on August 26th. By September pre-revolution activity was restored.

RFS era
Dark times were ahead, however. Over time server owner began to show himself more and more narcissistic and "being above the law", resulting in several confrontations between Tiger and staff.

On December 30th, most of the server's activity was relocated to what became known as RFS. Despite being a dwarf compared to by then over thousand members SE, RFS soon repeated the effect of the Third Pat Revolution when Tiger officially left SE on January 21st.

Over time, more and more of SE members either joined RFS or left SE. Remaining and new SE members could not provide activity above 2k messages a day for long, and on April 23rd 2021 RFS victory over SE was declared.
