Ban controversy

Johndigger was controversially banned for docktarting on Terra on the Viridian Ocean, which led to an outcry and the 'Free Johndigger' campaign on the official and now defunct, Viridian Ocean Forums.

After review by OOO this was eventually rescinded and Johndigger continues to sail the waves of Viridian.

Legacy

Realising the high barrier to entry for Blockade Navving, particularly for those without a history on the Midnight Ocean Johndigger founded a Battle Navigation school for aspiring Blockade Navvers where they trained several times a week and this not only introduced a new generation of pirates to blockade navigation but also introduced the Viridian Ocean to a new echelon of Blockade Navvers, such as Martobain.
