A few hours later, he joined a different village, claiming that he was kicked out of my village and that we stole all his stuff (A complete lie). Unfortunately for him, the village was part of the Hedgehugs Alliance and their leader was a friend of mine. To keep a long story short, "Jack the Ripper" is now dead. He is no longer welcome in any Hedgehugs village for that matter, as his deeds have been made known in our alliance.
It is unfortunate that people like these exist in Hafen, but there is no surprise that these people are out there. The MOTD is, exercise caution when recruiting new players to your village.
