History

Ostreum I — 2004-08-08, Ragnarok won the first blockade of Ostreum. The blockade was sinking, but uncontested.

Ostreum II — 2005-02-26, Black Sheep Brigade dropped a chest on Ostreum. Notorious Fandango dropped a chest during the middle of round 2, winning rounds 3 and 4, but losing round 5. Notorious Fandango also finished with more points than other faction in round 2, but game mechanics prevented them from being listed as a contender until round 3. Thus, Ragnarok won rounds 2 and 5 and successfully defended the island.

Note: Notorious Fandango initially attempted to drop the warchest during round 1 but the warchest was unexpectedly rejected as it was outside the normal warchest drop window. Until then, it was generally expected that secondary warchest drops during a blockade will be accepted regardless of the timing. This was echoed by the Ringers, which led to Cleaver ruling that the original warchest attempt will not be accepted but he made Notorious Fandango a contender in time for round 3. (This is the origin of the now defunct joke "Fandango will drop a chest in Round Two")

Ostreum III — 2005-07-02, Phoenix Reborn took control of Ostreum in three rounds. Blades N' Roses dropped a war chest during round 1.

2005-7-04 — Ostreum is converted from an outpost to a medium island.

Ostreum IV— 2005-07-17, Overwhelming jobber support for Superlemon Krakatoa, coupled with a smaller showing from Phoenix Reborn, helps Superlemon Krakatoa take Ostreum. Phoenix Reborn did not contend round 3. Superlemon Krakatoa went on to man a grand frigate, on which two of Dioses Y Demonios' senior officers (Trolldalen and Argos) got married.

Ostreum V— 2006-02-04, Notorious Fandango takes the island from Superlemon Krakatoa in a sinking blockade that lasted for 3 rounds. Superlemon Krakatoa did not contest the blockade at all, due to real-life issues.

Ostreum VI—2006-03-12 Ragnarok, the first ever flag to hold Ostreum, attempts to regain control of it. Notorious Fandango manages to defend it, although the first round was very close. Superlemon Krakatoa took in a single warbrig during the last two rounds, joining in the fray, but no chest was dropped.

Ostreum VII—2006-03-18 Superlemon Krakatoa takes the island back from Notorious Fandango. The Lemons had a larger jobbing force, despite the fact that Fandango was paying while SLK was only offering a raffle. They won the first two rounds with at least 300 points difference each time. The third round was not contested by Notorious Fandango.

Ostreum VIII—2006-12-03 Elysian Fields takes the island from Superlemon Krakatoa on a 3 round blockade.

Ostreum IX—2007-2-18 Phobos Et Deimos attacked Elysian Fields. The defenders outjobbed the attackers leading them to win rounds 1 and 2 and made the blockade sinking in round 3. Phobos Et Deimos pulled jobbers over from simultaneous Park Island and Orca Island blockades that had basically wrapped up and were able to take round 3. Elysian Fields came back for the win in round 4.

Ostreum X—2007-2-25 Phobos Et Deimos attacks Elysian Fields again, this time winning the island. Elysian Fields won the first two rounds, then pulled out for the most part due to low number of ships.

Ostreum XI—2007-12-09 Black Veil attacks Phobos Et Deimos. Phobos et Deimos successfully defended the island in three straight rounds.

Ostreum XII—2008-02-17 Blighted attacks Phobos Et Deimos. Phobos et Deimos successfully defended the island in three straight rounds.
