History
The name Surtsey refers to a small volcanic island off the coast of Iceland [1].
A rock south of the "hole" on the second mountainous area reads, "This island were fashioned by Yngvild."
Morrowind Period
2007-07-28 to 2007-10-28
Morrowind took control of the island from Pay for Play in a peaceful transition following a five round sinking event blockade known as the "Breakfast Blockade", in which the flag won the right to control the island. (See Blockades below for details.)
The Iron Monger Shoppe, Iron Crushers was allowed to dust on 2007-08-27. Construction on the Shipyard Shoppe, Blammo Boats began later that same day and was completed about a week later.
The Dark Period of The Enlightened
2007-10-28 to 2007-11-11
During The Enlightened's short reign over the island following their victory in Surtsey VII, Vargas the Mad, shut down Blammo Boats and increased the taxes of the island to 100%.
Morrowind Period II
2007-11-11 to Present
Having ousted the Brigand King flag of The Enlightened at Surtsey VIII, Morrowind quickly reopened operation of Blammo Boats 13 days before it would dust and restored taxes to a normal level. It is also interesting to note that Blammo Boats had an order for a War Frigate within an hour of reopening.
Blockades
Surtsey I, 2006-06-17: Dreaded Dream Makers won the island in a three-round uncontested blockade against Regnum Irae.
Surtsey II, 2006-11-05: The Force won the island in three rounds.
Surtsey III, 2007-04-15: The Force successfully defended against Tempest, winning with a score of 3 to 1.
Surtsey IV, 2007-06-17: The Force successfully defended against the brigand king flag, Jinx, winning in three rounds.
Surtsey V, 2007-07-07: Pay for Play successfully won the island in three rounds.
2007-07-28: Pay for Play hosted a "Breakfast Blockade" event: sinking, five rounds, dhows & baghlahs only. Flag Morrowind won the first three rounds, earning the first-place prize of Surtsey Island. In the first three rounds, Morrowind lost four ships (two to "friendly fire"), sank twenty-two ships, and scored 1543 points. After securing their prize, Morrowind withdrew from the event blockade. The island transfer was completed later, the same day as the event. Sea Change won second prize (three baghlahs) by scoring 218 points in round four, and Holy Trinity won third prize (three dhows) by scoring 148 points in round five. Honorable mention went to Soul Mates, who scored 205 points while contesting rounds one and two.
Surtsey VI, 2007-09-02: Morrowind successfully defends Surtsey from the Brigand King Vargas the Mad's flag, The Enlightened in a five round sinking blockade. The Enightened inflicted heavy casualties on Morrowind during first two rounds but Morrowind came back to sink off what remained of The Enlightened's fleet and win rounds 3, 4 and 5 and thus retaining control of the island.
Surtsey VII, 2007-10-28: The Brigand King flag, The Enlightened, whose fleet was rated at a strength 17, won control of Surtsey in a three round sinking blockade which went largely uncontested. Morrowind decided to not contest the island in favor of helping Collateral Damage defend Napi Peak from Fist Deep in Napi V. Morrowind did send in a pair of War Frigates into the blockade in round three once Napi V was over to see how much damage could be inflicted on Vargas' fleet.
Surtsey VIII, 2007-10-11: Morrowind returned to reclaim Surtsey island from The Enlightened in this three round sinking blockade when they discovered that the Brigand King fleet defending the island had been reduced to a strength 6. With strategic navving and buoy guarding Morrowind won in three straight rounds losing only 1 War Frigate, 1 War Brig and 4 Baghlahs while reducing The Enlightened's fleet to a strength of 2.
