Megadetroit claims - Dear Settlers in Claims Formerly Marked as "Hayek"
I am referring to this post by u/stalinsthong and to this post by u/matanic1107 in particular.
Before either of you probably started playing the server there was some conflict over the nation of Hayek. Long story short - I lived in it, bought Watertown (which is now New Veritas) from their King, I invaded it incorporating it as part of Watertown, I then gave back their independence, and then invaded again once my relationship with their leadership broke down. Recently their claims became derelict on the map and were taken down to be shown as unclaimed land. I disagree with this decision personally, as I believe myself to be the rightful claimant to all lands formerly owned by Hayek (now Megadetroit). When claiming Megadetroit on the map, I probably should have included all lands owned by Hayek as I intend to form a Kingdom in the Southern portion encompassing both of your claims. I am currently awaiting someone to build things I have on a creative server. I have received unofficial recognition by many in Mt. Augusta and Poyais who consider my claim over the land to be the best, so I would like the map makers to please include me in any discussion including Hayek lands. I have already had to threaten Goodsprings to take their claim over parts of South Hayek down.
To the settlers in particular: I am fine with you joining my Kingdom if you wish, and we can strengthen a single claim over all the land and mutually benefit each other, but you have to understand that I have the best claim over the land as recognized by two neighbors in the ++ quadrant. I would like you to give respect to the history that has already happened on the server regarding the land, and if you cannot respect that history then I would ask you to leave immediately or face the same consequences I offered to Goodsprings.
To u/Gjum seeing the political realities of the server, and to avoid any future confusion over the land I am already using, I would like to extend Megadetroit's claims to cover all of former Hayek claims until I am ready to separate the two. I hope you understand that despite the fact that I have not finished building, that there are political realities on the server that have to be accounted for.
Thank you all for your time, and I hope everyone considers what I have written.

u/matanic1107 Asked me to help, and I understand your issue, but why should they leave or give up their land? Weren't you the one who abandoned it?
Well I could not formally do anything with the Hayek claims due to the disputed nature of the land with the former Hayek government, although once it was clear that it was abandoned, I had the best claim over the land.
It is no longer abandoned. People have moved onto the land and even started building. By common Devoted rules, that means they control the land. Do you have any towns or an active population yet?
Look, you're obviously new. If you want to soil your reputation forever and be known as a clueless new friend who tries to claim everyone's land, be my guest. Or you can go somewhere that isn't owned by a well known and respected member of the community and do your shit there. To me, it seems like an obvious choice.
I'm not "new," and my land is nowhere near the disputed area. I'm just trying to help out a friend. The issue has been solved anyways.
As far as I know you, and these other lads are new and as I said in my post understand that there's some history that you guys aren't taking into account. You're right, it isn't abandoned because I am using it, I have big plans for all the areas you guys are claiming. I suggest that Ilha stays out of this, you're far enough away that you don't need to involve yourselves in this.
Contrary to popular belief, the claims map is not the only authority on what land is abandoned or not, and I don't think they ever claimed to be. If you want to discuss this matter with me further then contact me on Discord, ComradeNick#9912, otherwise please stay out of this business, thank you.
