”THE TABLE'S FLIPPED, NOW WE GOT ALL THE COCONUTS, BITCH”
~Death Grips, "Hacker"
VetoTheNeato is known for his various leadership roles across Simpvp history, being the leader of The Drago Guard, Sigil, and Takyon. He was an active member of Yittrium, served as a leader during The Second Siege (going as far to be the first to dub it "The Hispanic Panic"), and hosted & organized the very first Simpvp Summit.
He is also known for blasting the popular indie hip-hop/rap group Death Grips in any Simpvp voice chat he is present in. This behavior continues even during important events, such as Simpvp Summit.
History
Crash Landing
VetoTheNeato is a player who joined the server on March 16th, 2019. He spent his first day wandering spawn, but found luck when player TheOnlySlash offered him a position at his own clan, The Fellowship. Slash, accompanied by his teammate Arma, proceeded to bed-trap Veto, repeatedly kill him, and upload the incident to YouTube and Reddit under the title "Purification of Simpvp". Then, Slash's mother texted Slash, remarking on the video's quality and Slash's skill. It is unknown whether or not the messages were legitimate. After another brief, short-lived base (a small farmhouse less than 1k blocks from spawn), Veto and IAmTheSheriff made a pilgrimage thousands of blocks away to ensure their base would never be found.
The Drago Guard
After multiple days of travel on foot and in boats, they arrived at what would be known as Fort Drago and began construction on The Drago Guard. Monthly progress videos were posted during this time, which have since been unlisted but can still be found on archived reddit posts and the Simpvp Youtube Video Archive. After Veto founded The Drago Guard, a new member, WarWolf_13 followed suit the day after he joined SimPvP. Fort Drago became the headquarters of the Drago Guard, which was a base that flourished with large builds and intricate architecture. The base featured multiple automatic farms, aesthetic builds, and the server's only 3x3 piston automated door. During this time, player JavelinFury found the base while looking for an old build of his. Veto was online at the time, and gave Jav a brief tour. Others, such as TheOnlySlash have found the base since then, but it has not once been raided, griefed, or leaked. One day, after Veto and Cheese completed work on a plaza build, they noticed a wolf sticking his head through a corner in the build. Even after multiple days, the wolf remained. Veto tamed the dog, and he was deemed "corner dog" or "Corneroy". He was a de facto mascot for Drago Guard and was used by Veto as an example of "Drago Guard's supreme power". As a sign of power and wealth, Veto, IamTheSheriff and Cheese began construction on the "Big Ass Tower". Estimated to have been made up of over 100,000 blocks, the tower stood tall above the rest of Drago Guard. Unfortunately, it was never 100% completed, as plans were made to add an even larger basement area, tunnel system, and more. Unfortunately, Fort Drago would later be abandoned, and the Drago Guard soon collapsed.
A Gradual Decline/Shadow McMafia
VetoTheNeato soon joined his ally cheesy_chips22 as a member of the Shadow Mcmafia, coming to the team's capital city. However, VetoTheNeato would not be very active here, only AFKing every so often and largely becoming inactive before going on a hiatus.
Veto is Online
After some months of inactivity, VetoTheNeato rejoined the server in November 2019. He was invited to Craftablia by cheesy_chips22 and ostrich1414. Soon after, on November 30th, VetoTheNeato was invited to the city of Yittrium. After completing one build and starting another, Yittrium was raided and was no longer safe to remain a part of. Veto packed his bags and left, but not before adding some... features to Yittrium's iconic statue.
SIGIL/Sigil Incident
On January 8th, 2020, Veto announced the creation of a base that would eventually be known as Sigil. More than 10 players were either invited or asked to join the base, and Sigil ended up with 11 members before the first block was even placed. The base had great progress done and showed great promise. However, player Lord1 became enraged after someone placed a sign on his build. He killed Sigil members indiscriminately, stole items, and made the base no longer safe to remain at. Veto fled to Shitstania. Later that night, Lord would be tried for his war crimes. In a fit of rage, Lord griefed Shitstania. Despite his best efforts, much of the humble spawn base remained.
TAKYON
On January 28th, 2020, Veto founded Takyon.
