History

Creation

A few stations down the line from V18 were unclaimed, and he decided to claim it. On the first day of the claim the 1st part of the metro was open between Central & Wallgate. On the day Espilon opened Aldranster50 decided to log on and found out that everyone could claim a 2nd station, and then came an alarm on his phone about the V18 claim, and then he claimed V18 (true story).
