== Player controlled event blockades ==

With {{release|2006-10-17}} player controlled blockades have now been made possible.

Only governors of islands can initiate an event blockade and they also can specify many different options for the blockade:
[[Image:Official-blockadeevent.png|right|thumb|400px|Governors (and Ringers) see this panel when configuring an event blockade.]]
*Time and date from 60 minutes to 1 month in advance. 
*Sinking, non-sinking or non-sinking no removal.
*Cannons or no cannons (bumps still gives damage).
*Ignore alliances.
*Enable use of maneuvers
*Number of rounds, from 1 to 7.
*Obstacle distribution on the board: Normal, Sparse, Dense, Rocky, Turbulent, Windy.
*Types of ships allowed on the board.

Other: 
*Only one blockade can be scheduled on an island at a time.  Additional events can be scheduled immediately after one ends, so there can be a minimum of 10 minutes between event blockades. 
*Blockade events happening during the normal weekend blockade times must be set at least two weeks in advance. 
*Blockade events can be modified and cancelled up until 1 hour before it is set to start.
*Ship types which are restricted from the event can't enter the blockade at all. ("Sloops are not allowed in that blockade")
*You do not have to enter an event blockade, simply port/deport like usual.  In order to enter the blockade you must push the "Join Event" button from the vessel menu. 
*The side you enter the event blockade depends on whether you're ported or deported when you hit the "Join Event" button.
*Players may be injured in sinking event blockades.
*In the event of a tie, the team that entered first is awarded the win. 

With these new options available, the number of practice blockades has increased, allowing more preparation to be made before a real blockade.

The league point of an event blockaded island is also different to that of a normal blockaded island.

==Notes on Event timing==

* If a governor wishes to schedule an event blockade on the weekend and does not have two weeks notice (ie spontaneous events, out of town, etc) their blockade must end by 11:00 AM Pirate time (assuming a Saturday morning) or start after 8:00 PM Pirate time (for Sunday evening).  The game mechanics include a one hour "reserved" window prior to the start of a blockade to allow factions to assemble their jobbers and calculates the longest possible blockade time before re-opening an island for event blockades.  These time constraints are enforced by the game mechanics even if a blockade is not declared against the island by the close of the war chest dropping window.

* If a flag wishes to drop a war chest on an island with an event blockade already scheduled, the war chest must be dropped such that the blockade doesn't intersect with the event blockade.  A real blockade and an event blockade can happen during the same weekend, just not at the same time.
== Event Blockades on Ringer Islands ==
You can schedule event blockades by request on any Ringer or Event owned island.  In order to request this, you must petition at least 24 hours before your event is set to start and include a link to the forum post detailing your event.  If the event blockade will overlap the normal blockade period you will need an additional 2 weeks notice.  

'''Scheduling:'''
*Blockades will be set in the order that they are petitioned, not posted.  So just because you post does not automatically save the date for your blockade. 
*Once an event is scheduled it will not be changed and no other events will be scheduled until after that event is complete.  Please wait until the current event is over at an island before submitting your petition. 
*Remember that event blockades cannot be scheduled more than a month in advance.  

'''Your event post should be made in the appropriate ocean events thread and include:'''
*Location 
*Date
*Time
*Blockade settings
**Sinking: (Sinking/No Sinking/No Sinking No Removal)
**Cannons Ineffective: (yes/no)
**Ignore Alliances: (yes/no)
**Use Maneuvers: (yes/no)
**Rounds: (1-7)
**Obstacles: (Normal/Sparse/Dense/Rocky/Turbulent/Windy)
**Ship Types: (All/List of those allowed)
*Prizes, details or anything else relevant to your event.

==Historic Note==
Prior to the release of player controlled event blockades Oceanmasters maintained islands on each ocean that could be used for "old-style" event blockades. Those were real blockades against a ringer owned flag. Once a player flag won that event island Oceanmasters would revert ownership to the ringer flag in the following week. This practice was discontinued on September 10th, 2007. Players can now request "new-style" event blocakades on all ringer islands.
