History

The island is named after the legend of Cleopatra VII of Egypt's pearl earrings. The island takes the shape of a pearl earring.

Cleo I - 2004-10-23, Boochin Katfish defeated Skulls and Sticks in ten rounds to win the island for colonization.

2005-2-18, the island was converted from an outpost to a medium island, the first island to be converted in that way.

Cleo II - 2005-4-10, Boochin Katfish successfully defended the island in a three round non-sinking blockade against Dark Judgement.

Cleo III - 2006-1-21, Heartless Shadows defeated Boochin Katfish in three rounds to take control of the island.

Cleo IV - 2006-4-16, Kol Nidre blockaded the island, but the blockade was stopped in the second round by the Ocean Masters following a negotiation between the two flags.

Cleo V - 2006-8-13, Silver Dawn defeated Notorious Fandango to take control of the island. Heartless Shadows had expressed its intention to merge into Silver Dawn, taking the island with it. Notorious Fandango dropped on the island to protest the transfer, holding a Ketchy Cubby event.[1] Silver Dawn dropped the chest to contend for the island and save a transfer.

Cleo VI - 2007-3-10, Silver Dawn successfully defended the island in four rounds against Incredible.

Cleo VII - 2007-11-10, the Brigand King The Widow Queen took control of the island in four rounds against Silver Dawn.

Cleo VIII - 2007-11-18, Blighted and Broadsiders both dropped chests on the island in the first three-way blockade involving a Brigand King. Blighted took two of the first three rounds during which time The Widow Queen's forces were depleted. Broadsiders withdrew to allow Blighted to win and take control of the island away from The Widow Queen.

Cleo IX - 2008-2-02, Blighted successfully defended the island against Fair Wynds. Fair Wynds withdrew after round two.

Cleo X - 2008-2-24, Midnight Marauders defeated Blighted in three rounds to take the island. Blighted disbanded shortly after the blockade.

Cleo XI - 2009-5-10, Mystery Core defeated Midnight Marauders in three rounds to take control of the island.

Cleo XII - 2009-11-21, Mystery Core successfully defended the island against the Brigand King Vargas the Mad.

Cleo XIII - 2010-10-09, Bipolar defeated Mystery Core in three rounds to take control of the island. The blockade was prompted by Mystery Core's attempt to build a shipyard bazaar on the island. Mystery Core conceded after two rounds of one-sided jobbing in Bipolar's favor.

Cleo XIV - 2010-11-13, Bipolar successfully defended the island against Booching Blaggards. The two flags reached a pay cap agreement of 500 PoE per segment. Round two was won by Bipolar on the very last turn of the round.

Cleo XV - 2011-1-15, Family Ties defeated Bipolar to take control of the island. Bipolar did not defend.

Cleo XVI - 2011-10-29, Family Ties successfully defended the island against the Brigand King Admiral Finius.
