History

Kasidim Island likely derives its name from "Ur of the Kasdim", which could refer to either the Chaldeans or the Kassites.

Kasidim Island was originally located on the Sage Ocean. In the second cluster of trees (looking from left to right), an inscription reads, "This island were fashioned by Tamsin."

Blockades

Kasidim I, 2006-07-08: Notorious colonized Kasidim, defeating Les Aristocrates in what must have been the closest 5-round blockade ever on Sage. Notorious caught up with Les Aristocrates after losing the first 2 rounds. Les Aristocrates didn't seriously contend the fourth. The fifth round almost signified a defeat for Notorious, however they gained enough points in the last turn to clinch the blockade, and the island.

Kasidim II, 2007-01-20: Mushroom Kingdom took control of the island in a four-round non-sinking blockade.

Kasidim III, 2007-03-11: Tea and Strumpets took control of the island in a three-round non-sinking blockade over Mushroom Kingdom.

Kasidim IV, 2007-06-16: Tea and Strumpets successfully defended the island against Astute Tentacle Mariners and The Government in a four round non-sinking blockade.

Kasidim V, 2007-07-07: Vargas the Mad took control of the island in a three round sinking blockade.

Kasidim VI,2007-07-13: Army Of Darkness took possession of the island against Vargas the Mad and his Scurvy Dogs.

Kasidim VII, 2007-09-15: The island was successfully defended from the attack of Azarbad the Great in a three-round sinking blockade.

Kasidim VIII, 2007-12-01: Dysfunctional took control of the island in a three round non-sinking blockade. Army of Darkness did not defend and neither did the other contestants Spontaneous Combustion.

Kasidim X, 2008-04-26: Shadows Of Sage took control of the island in a five round non-sinking blockade. Illium Eternae won two of the rounds of the blockade. Dysfunctional did not attempt to defend. Superbus Haliaetos also dropped a war chest, but decided not to contest before the blockade started.

Kasidim XI, 2008-05-04: Shadows Of Sage defended against Candy Coated Chaos in a three round non-sinking blockade. The flag Toy Army also dropped a war chest during round three, but do not appear to have significantly competed, they were however at war with Shadows Of Sage at the time, so maybe an attempt at forcing a sinking blockade?

Kasidim XIII, 2008-06-08: Hardcore Explorers took control of the island in a three round non-sinking blockade.
