lol? They declaimed you pclaim with a vclaim? Seems legit
no. The vclaim was new, nothing got declaimed.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

Overtyped does have a point: how do you restitute a loss of this kind?
In hindsight of the recently Tartaros case, I would not keep my hopes up. Sorry Bob, we did not get even a 5% off the next store purchase. See you next world I guess

not the same.
Leaving a charterstone out in the open is retarded. I had no way to avoid this bug raid, unlike you.

yup, just like how you should be careful about having walls, because you could get wall jumped :)

Well they built a vclaim, and it must have precedence over your pclaim seeing how they didn't get visitor buff here. I wouldn't call this a bug. Just a security flaw on your part. If a village wants to extend their vclaim (or build their own vclaim) to eradicate some personal claim they should be able to.

Like I said it shouldn't matter if it's an extended vclaim or their own fresh vclaim.
