Val first joined Civ by joining the nation of [[Caledonia]] on June 26, 2021 after being invited by [[InvertedMind]].<ref><nowiki>https://i.imgur.com/uot8LWc.png</nowiki></ref> After getting set up in a small apartment, Val found a great interest in the flags of the world's nations and set about collecting as many as they could. They also personally redesigned Caledonia's flag to look more sleeker and with longer proportions, though it was never used.<ref><nowiki>https://i.imgur.com/hYyoH6S.png</nowiki></ref> When not collecting flags, Val spent the rest of their time mining and digging for various infrastructure projects. Notably, Val mined solely with iron picks until another citizen of Caledonia noticed their plight and gave them diamond picks from the diamond tool factory.

Val joined [[Carson (CivClassic 2.0)|Carson]] in mid July 2021 after being recruited by [[Lowtuff]] and got involved in rail digging. In Carson, Val designed and lived in a small house, dug tunnels and laid rails to their home nation of Caledonia.<ref><nowiki>https://i.imgur.com/tEAA2AH.png</nowiki></ref> Val also got mixed in with friend groups in the [[Confederation of Cities Communes and Protectorates]] as Lowtuff was a mutual of theirs, enjoying the politics and personalities they found there.

After [[CivClassic 2.0]] ended, Val was a founding member of the [[Mery Horde]], designing its flag and contributing ideas to the unique culture of the [[Mery]]. In accordance Val is honored as "tawiga" among them.

After dwelling for a time in a traditional dirt encased stone brick bermed triangle shaped shelter, the first completed house in [[Merthyr]], Val set off to explore the map. Their adventures were cut short by the Mery's abandonment of Merthyr because of the server's inactivity. The Mery then moved onto [[Vintage Civ]] and founded the settlement of [[Hwillotati]] in January 2022.

Since Val had never played [[Vintage Story]] before, most of their limited time spent on Vintage Civ involved getting to know the base mechanics of the game. Once Val arrived at the Mery settlement, they mostly helped with animal husbandry. By the end of January, most of Hwillotati went inactive, including Val.

Val placed second in the 1st [[Free Danzilonan Republic|Danzilonan]] election<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vo9cfo/elections_results_for_the_july_2022_election/</ref> for Ambassador and was a founding member of the [[Socialist Party of Danzilona]]. They constructed a lighthouse on the Eastern Shining Isles and made those same isles a home for a great number of Mery people, which they continue to develop at the time of this writing.
