Great Vahki War

The Great Vahki War was a wonderful bit of BZPower drama back in 2009. Both MT Zehvor and Mesonak were involved, and it was ultimately how they became friends despite being on opposite sides.

Background
In 2009, several BZPower members lead by Terakk decided to form a group called the "Vahki," with the stated goal of helping clean up the forums by reporting posts wherever possible. The Vahki name was picked because of the seeming similarities between the Vahki from the Bionicle storyline. Employing the motto "clean it all," the group began to pick up more members, including Mesonak.

The "War"
After spending exactly 5 seconds thinking through the ramifications, MT and several other members started a massive flame war in Terakk's blog, accusing the Vahki of trying to act as backseat mods. The Vahki responded by arguing that they were simply trying to help reduce the sheer amount of spam on the BZPower forums, and weren't interested in taking over any other staff responsibilities. Unconvinced, MT's faction continued to post angry messages on the blog, prompting angry responses from the Vahki. This flame war would continue on for several weeks before mods finally stepped in and shut things down. Most of the Vahki, including Mesonak, quit out of sheer frustration.

Aftermath
Due to the significant loss in numbers, Terakk eventually disbanded the Vahki. With all the maturity of a 12 year old, MT declared "victory," and being a Class A hypocrite, created his own group that was designed at doing the very same thing. This group would eventually become the Toa Zehvor. It is an important event in the chat's history, however: Somehow, MT and Mesonak became friends throughout this process. The war would ultimately be the catalyst for MT finding BZPC and, by extension, Blank Slate.
