Government

History

Armstrong Island was originally located on the Hunter Ocean. On a cubanite spawn to the north, an inscription reads, "This island were fashioned by Gloraelin"

This island is named for Louis Armstrong, and the building naming theme is based on rap and its sub-cultures.

Blockades

In September 2008, Brynhild Skullsplitter took control of the island as part of its opening for colonization.

Armstrong I, 2008-09-20: Coerced Coexistence successfully defeated the Brigand King flag Ice Wyrm's Brood in a three-round sinking blockade to colonize the island.

Armstrong II, 2008-11-16: Coerced Coexistence successfully defended Armstrong from Beyond the veil in a three-round sinking blockade. This blockade occurred at midnight, game time.

Armstrong III, 2008-11-22: Coerced Coexistence successfully defended Armstrong from Beyond the veil in a three-round sinking blockade. It was argued bitterly that Beyond the veil was attacking Armstrong for personal reasons.

Armstrong IV, 2008-11-30: Coerced Coexistence successfully defended Armstrong from Beyond the veil in a three-round sinking blockade. This blockade was scheduled to occur at midnight, game time.

Armstrong V, 2008-12-07: Coerced Coexistence successfully defended Armstrong from Beyond the veil in a three-round sinking blockade.

Armstrong VI, 2008-12-13: Coerced Coexistence successfully defended Armstrong from Beyond the veil in a three-round sinking blockade. This blockade marked the fifth weekend in a row Beyond the veil had attempted to take over Armstrong.

Armstrong VII, 2008-12-20: Coerced Coexistence successfully defended Armstrong from Beyond the veil in a three-round sinking blockade. While not specifically against the rules, various forum members argued that any more attacks by Beyond the veil would be going against the "spirit of the game" as the last few blockades were not well contended by Beyond the veil. [1]
