I'm a little confused

Okay, here's the deal: one of my takeovers, the Vahaba Asteroid Belt, isn't listed in the planets list. At first, I thought Omnae might have taken it off the list (either intentionally or accidentally) when he updated it for Cataclysm, but I made a copy of the list before he edited it, and it's not on there either.

But I'm almost positive it was at some point.

So I thought maybe the thread wasn't the requisite 5,000 words long, and some moderator had just deleted my post in the planets list at some point in the past, and it had never actually been added to the list, but I recounted the thread's length and its over 7,500 words long.

And I'm still pretty sure Vahaba was on the list at some point.

So I don't know what to do about this. I was thinking about just reposting the takeover in the planets list, but if there's some reason Vahaba isn't on the list then that would probably be a bad idea.

Oh, and here's the link to the takeover, just in case:

Vahaba Asteroid Belt is or was Black Dragon Empire territory at one point in time. I want to say it was either conquered by the Coalition or traded in some kind of a foreign planets for local planets deal that sounds familiar but I can't remember off hand.

Gue, Dolash, either of you remember anything about this?

Well, according to a search in the Battlegrounds, Vahaba thus far has only been dealt with by Smarts. So it's somewhat doubtful that it has changed hands, unless it happened years upon years ago on a different board.

I think Park is referring to the Vergesso Asteroids, which BDE had a base in until Cataclysm (apparently).

I'm talking about the Vahaba Asteroid belt, located in the Quelii Sector, on the other side of the galaxy.

Not an asteroid belt that the Serendivus have touched, only two we have though I believe one is listed in the planet list but the other I have yet to fully flesh out the take over for.

Ok me getting my asteriod belts mixed up. Vergresso was what I was thinking of. Vahaba is the one where Zsinj made his final "stand" before retreating to Dathomir with the real Iron Fist, blowing up an ersatz one composed of rubble from Razor's Kiss to cover his escape, which may or may not have happened in our timeline.

Don't know what went on there but I'll look into it. It might be just an oversight as I do not remember tinkering with Coalition planets in Cataclysm.

I would guess that's from a different time. Some things have looked a bit odd on the list even before the Cataclysm thread, like Uffel being suddenly mispelled. I'd guess that someone was adding another planet to GC and something happened.
