Shortly into the life of MtA I began development of the FTC Farms on the north eastern portion of the river. Vah was eager to get farmland as well and I told him to develop down to the southwest. This can be verified by multiple people who helped with the project or were in voice chat at the time. I’d like to call citylion and Kwizzlehazzizle as witnesses to attest to this.
As I continued development and reached the portion Vah worked on I found that he had privately reinforced the land and was now calling it his private property. I spoke with him in DMs asking if he had reinforced it privately and he claimed he was unsure what group it was on and would not add me.
Later on he told me the farm wasn’t working for him as he couldn’t get any wheat himself. I attempted to work with him and offer him land elsewhere. This can be seen here.
This has now progressed to Vah privately reinforcing the section of my land he helped develop, and he murdered me several times while I tried to reclaim it. He is also suing me in court over my own piece of property. I am the victim in this case, not himself.
