History
Midsummer was controlled by Marauders Pact under the governance of various members of Ransack Marauders since its opening November 18, 2006. Midsummer is generally held in high esteem as one of the few remaining "natural" islands on Midnight, and as a consequence when opened was hotly contested not just by those who wished to own and construct upon it, but also by those who desired to maintain this "natural beauty" and construct the absolute minimum, if anything at all. As such, Marauders Pact promised as a part of their intent post not to construct anything but a fort on the island, and so far have held true to this statement. When it became evident that it was not necessary to construct a fort on the island in order to retain commodity spawns following colonisation, Marauders Pact resolved to keep the island completely free of buildings, as originally desired.
On November 8, 2008 Riot won the island in a perfect 3-round win streak from Marauders Pact with the intention of creating a Shakespeare-themed island. In order to preserve the island's natural beauty, Riot pledged not to move a single rock or tree, instead only building in places where the buildings would blend in.
