Crossposting from weeb-wars main thread:
So, I was looking at cons in Arizona in 2006-2007-2008 to see what Nyahko from Pull was talking about.
I could not find Vic, nor Illich, cause at first I thought she was mistaken the two.
What I did find was that; During all these 3 years, one guest showed up all 3 years in cons in the area.
Greg Ayres.
It couldn't be that the young woman who accused Greg Ayres at another con, got a hit to the noggin in an accident and is misattributing false memories to Vic? I believe Stan dahlin said that incident was in 2008, so time-wise it isn't too far a stretch if the woman actually has a headinjury (or is insane).
AWA 2008 had Greg Ayres, but also Illich, but......I am not sure how they'd misremember something so poorly in regards to location. Seeing Atlanta Georgia is pretty far away.
In 2009 Vic attended Saboten Con, held in Mesa Arizona, but it is 2-3 years later than her first claim of 2006-2007 (and she soon after claimed to have gotten a brain-injury)

That is the only year he is there., within the mentioned time-frame.
Greg Ayres is however at so many of these, does he live there or something?
Edit below, to keep posts easy to find and to not spam everyone with my detail-obsessed-autismo
A detail from the Nyahko story:
He paid for our food for that day at con and even gave my friend a small box filled with FMA merch and his CDS (Spoiler they were Bible reading in "Character voices" he had done).
When it comes to his discography, the earliest bible-reading CD I can find from him, is from 2009, everything else appear to be songs.
From this site it appears having been copyrighted in 2008. He was at CactusCon Jan 26 2007. So it couldn't have been made yet.
Gospel of John - Chapter 1 : Vic Mignogna : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
This is the first Chapter of John as recorded by Vic Mignogna.
archive.org
So if this is true, then Nyahko's chance of getting the CD, which does not have its first chapter produced or put on a cd until 2008, rather slim.
getting the feeling she just googled vic mignogna con history on google and threw a vague year in there.
I did go through comic cons in the Arizona state to see if his names popped up again before 2009, and it does not. So the story can not have the right year attributed to it. She states with great detail how old she was. Even quite a lot of details, especially for someone with brain damage and admittingly poor memory, and only is prone, as in her own word, to only remember mostly abuse and not the happy memories. With more questions and details being asked for, such as when, where, it gets more and more vague. She even remembered that she had just turned 16, or it was a little before her 16th bday. She was 75-80 lbs (claims at least) around that time, and states as an adult and I assume fully grown in height as 16 , 5' tall, or 5'ish. She remembers wearing a miniskirt, that he talked to her friend about a lot of details, and even what he gave them. That her friends moved soon after etc.etc.
Lets assume she was there in 2009 then, and that she hit her noggin a couple of months after. Though I am still curious about how she is placing her age into this when she can't remember the year. Was she 15-16 in 2006, 2007, or 2009, it kinda feels like something you'd know...... Afterall, if you're so 100% about your age as she is in the first post. Then you'd at least be able to give a solid year. So if the year she then reached was 2006 or 2007, as she believes, then in 2009, she wouldn't be 16 she'd be 18-19. And she would have been born in 1990 or 1991.
So either she completely missed the date by years, or, she was 18-19 when the story happened? *shrugs* we may never know.
I personally feel this sort of "story progression" reminds me of a special someone from the KV-crowd.
But it could also be that the person started to vague-out when they realized that the PULL thread was not the same as the TUMBLR hearsay site that basically hosted rumours and fanfiction as fact.
Webpage talking about Vic Raising money for this project in 2008, he appeared to have gone to them in early 2008 with a goal to have it recorded by summer 2008. The link provided at the website is dead, but I am archiving this. Thus it has effeciently excluded 2006 and 2007 as her 'possible dates'

Another edit:
Read over her story again and she claims following:
"Also bit more relevant talking to one of my friends who was friends with me at the time she pointed out that in fact I wasn't quite 16 at the time since it happened over the summer break before I turned 16. "
Summer break - Around 10–11 weeks, either from the end of May to early August, early June to Mid-August, or the end of June to the day after Labor Day in early September - depending on region and state.
Arizona: Most schools in the Phoenix area start the fall session in late July through mid-August
The only cons that could fit that season is:

No Vic
So not only is her YEAR wrong, but if t'is was the season. As her friend has claimed, supported, and her brain remembers. Then there's no Vic. There is no Vic in Arizona during that time-frame. He was there in January. Not even close to Summer-break.
I believe this is another case of astral RaPez-bAd-T0uCh by dreams.
