Sry might have missed it, when/where were these deeds sold in the first place (introduced)?
This is my understanding from info gathered from this thread and my own knowledge about the game.
The two deeds in question Ajoite Game Reserve and Kyanite Game Reserve I were created by NEVERDIE (ND) who used to work for Next Island as it's developer. It appears they were never approved by MA but still created by ND as it's developer.
Now it's pretty obvious ND knows he should never have created them without approval. ND used to be a developer for David Post and these LA could have been payment for work he did for Next Island.
ND should have cleared it with MA and David Post and indeed still needs to sort this out with MA and David Post.
Now Narfi is an avatar who works for ND. Exactly what the arrangements are and how he gets paid by ND I doubt very much that he'll tell us here.
Facts I can tell you though is Narfi has received the following items from ND:
Mothership (via a dubious competition. If I remember correctly another avatar thoought he should have won if it wasn't for help narfi received from ND in winning the competition e.g. extra spawns of The Thing created for narfi at end of competition)
Privateer
Next Island LA's (Ajoite Game Reserve and Kyanite Game Reserve I)
So it's entirely feasible Narfi never paid anything for the Next Island Deeds. As he works for ND he probably knew they should never have been created and indeed that they were never approved and he was not to sell them. Narfi does however sell them with the pretext that they are bugged rather than tell the buyer they are useless. I say this because of the issue below:
all trades are final we know that for sure. my question to you is are you willing to reverse the trade or let fatal get it from previous owner or MA?
Narfi is not willing to reverse the trade as you can see from the support messages he posted Narfi gives MA a few options none of which involve reversing the trade.
In my opinion Narfi knew exactly what he was doing on behalf of ND which was to make a few peds from LA's that were useless which he described as bugged to the buyer in order to make the sale.
Problem here is MA trusted a PP and it's Developer ND. Clearly that trust is misplaced as ND and Narfi have not behaved in an ethical manner.
