=== NWGA Saga (Apr-Oct) ===

''The following is an extract from WBC News published on April 4th 2018.''<blockquote>

==== NWGA dragged into drama as one of its members gets banned ====

</blockquote><blockquote>While the WolvHaven community was busy fooling around during April Fools, little that they know that a ticking drama time bomb was about to be set off. A prominent citizen by the name of Delfino88 was banned during April Fools for a week after accumulating three active warnings.</blockquote><blockquote>

===== Five Active Warnings =====

</blockquote><blockquote>Delfino88 was previously warned for large scale worldediting in Gardellia which was referred to as “deswamping” by the community and repeated trespass into restricted areas within WolvHaven. The final warning came on the 1st April 2018 for lying to staff bringing the total number of active warnings to three, resulting in a ban of a week.

An additional two warnings came in later on 2 April 2018 after he failed to remove builds which he copied without permission from Tony515 by burying the building underneath instead of removing it as required. This was part of the new plagiarism act of 2018 which was passed and signed in parliament on the 24 March 2018 which gave all members a week’s grace period to remove all builds which were copied without permission from the author.

This led to him having five active warnings which upgraded his ban from a temporary one week ban to an appealable permanent ban. He will be able to appeal his ban from 9 April 2018.</blockquote><blockquote>

==== Delfino takes a stand ====

</blockquote><blockquote>Displeased with the one week ban initially, it was reported that Delfino88 took to the North West Gardellia Alliance (NWGA) discord to show his disapproval of the ban. This was later confirmed when SpaceInvader11 shared a meme which Delfino88 posted in the NWGA discord.

The meme depicted a picture of Delfino wearing a banner with what looks like a crossed out WolvHaven logo and had a caption “You can’t just ban Delino on April 1st”.[[File:History Delfino Ban Apr 1 Meme.jpg|thumb|The now infamous meme regarding Delfino88's ban on April Fools Day]]Upon finding out that his ban had been upgraded to a permanent ban on 2 April 2018, Delfino88 took to WolvHaven Discord to express his displeasure. Commenting in the general channel of the WolvHaven Discord, Delfino said “I may try to appeal, but I'll never step foot on WH again (Maybe)” after several members accused him of advertising in the general chat and MC_Dunc asked him to leave.

He later went on to discuss about how he was “worth unbanning” in a conversation with admin Rom5419. Rom5419 said “appealable (ban) means you can consult staff to review your ban. Only works if you're worth unbanning.” to which Delfino88 asked “Am I worth unbanning?”. Rom5419 said that he was “totally not” worth unbanning, prompting Delfino to respond, saying “I'm sorry but I think I am I got banned for so little”.

Delfino also listed out the three initial warnings that were given out to him but argued that the additional 2 that caused his appealable permanent ban were unexplained and that he did not understand why he received the warnings.</blockquote><blockquote>

==== SilverWolv responds ====

</blockquote><blockquote>Unimpressed with the messages that were sent in general after the notification of the double warning was given, SilverWolv explained to Delfino the reason regarding the plagiarized builds which were just buried instead of removed. He also reminded Delfino that he had already been caught trying to use loopholes within the Gardellia rules to attempt to claim Frosty_Creeper’s Gardellia Mainline station and that staff had to remind him several times before he finally complied.

Delfino replied saying “I was at 0 warnings. Then 5”. SilverWolv later explained that people do go from being well behaving members to receiving many warnings within a short period of time. He later went on to comment about the behaviour which Delfino was exhibiting in discord. “Especially with that kind of attitude you’re displaying here right now” said SilverWolv, “What I see here is that you’re acting as if you didn't deserve your bans or warnings when you did flout the rules.”

Delfino later replied, saying that he understood that he deserved the warnings but later went on to comment that they were “too heavy”</blockquote><blockquote>

==== North West Gardellia Alliance (NWGA) members dragged into the drama ====

</blockquote><blockquote>WolvHaveners later proceeded to talk about the future of Dolphin Plains - Delfino’s town in Gardellia. Frosty_Creeper talked about the possibility of turning the North West Gardellia Council (NWGC) public domain and how it would depend on whether the NWGA decides on whether Dolphin Plains remains a member of the NWGA.

In response to it, Delfino said that Dolphin Plains was a founder of NWGC and that if Dolphin Plains wasn’t a member of the NWGA, the NWGC would cease to exist. This caused several NWGA members to retaliate to what his claims. “That's not true. I was also a member and so was pixel. And a lot of others.” said HurricanePanda08, a member of the NWGA. “Delfino if you're gone forever, NWGA won't cease to exist”.

After further explanations made by notable staff members SilverWolv and MatthieuTofu, many NWGA members started expressing their displeasure in the way that Delfino88 had “tainted” the reputation of the alliance. After some discussion Delfino88 was stripped off of “Member” rank in the NGWA Discord after some members criticized him for deleting messages condemning his behavior. NGWA members will vote on officially removing Delfino88 from the alliance in the near future.

An announcement was made by Mopsistudios on the behalf of the NWGA in the Gardellia channel of the WolvHaven Discord. It read “The NWGA would like to apologize to all players/staff members involved in the case involving its fellow member, Delfino88. His actions do not reflect the NWGA's standards, nor were any of his actions endorsed by council. Furthermore, I would like to apologize to Frosty_Foobar10, who owns the city Delfino attempted to claim. This was revealed to the council by him, and reasonable efforts were made to prevent them. The NWGA is happy to provide any evidence needed in this ongoing case. Thank you and we appreciate your understanding!”. Another message by NWGA member, Baymax1020 followed up stating that Delfino’s NWGA membership had been “suspended for the time being”.</blockquote><blockquote>

====== The future of Dolphin Plains ======

</blockquote><blockquote>WBC reached out to SilverWolv for a statement on the future of Dolphin Plains. “Dolphin Plains will be subject to the Gardellia abandoned claims act of 2017,” he said, “the only way for him to retain ownership of Dolphin Plains is to successfully appeal his ban within the timeframe before the town is classified as abandoned, afterwhich the standard protocol of either transferring its ownership, removing it or turning it into a public domain claim.”

Complications may arise in the future regarding the railway that runs through Dolphin Plains in the future. When asked about outcome of the railway in the event Dolphin Plains does get removed, SilverWolv said that special consideration will be given for the rail line and that it would most likely be retained.</blockquote>[[File:WH-MRT Security Agreement.png|thumb|[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BP0ZE0Enlcwh_fwajorGimA8EMjhuJgZa1aKHEjmNIM/edit Official WolvHaven-MRT Security Agreement] put into place in mid-2018]]
