TL;DR 20 CSN crew members and at least 5 cannons were brought to bear. 5 hours of constant sieging, cannons destroying above what was my home, an armored citadel under the docks, near ruin.

'''The Occupation Era:''' | |||
Port Potato under the terms of surrender would be occupied by CSN and her trade was heavily restricted, with a major stoppage to ESE. Eventually, Port Potato was not forced to ever take arms against ESE, or her allies. [[DeDerpyDerp__]] went inactive for a while, as neither of the two others (IronGolem5 and Silver_Wild) had any interest in being on the server anymore. | Port Potato under the terms of surrender would be occupied by CSN and her trade was heavily restricted, with a major stoppage to ESE.

All major planned roads are done, and now we just will claim the plots and build when ready for the new buildings. *Also at 6pm EST A Mr. [[GodsEgg]] donated 500, the biggest donation to Port Potato so far. | All major planned roads are done, and now we just will claim the plots and build when ready for the new buildings. *Also at 6pm EST A Mr. [[GodsEgg]] donated 500, the biggest donation to Port Potato so far. | ||

'''5th Battle''' | |||
A tour of the port gone wrong when [[Matlese_Egirl]] sieged the canal area, and when trying to flee to undo the siege, they got kicked from bad wifi. This was the first recorded siege where Port Potato not only was Victorious, but Outlasted her siegers. We did not seek any repercussions as it was "Force of habit." (and we won). | A tour of the port gone wrong when [[Matlese_Egirl]] sieged the canal area, and when trying to flee to undo the siege, they got kicked from bad wifi.

Due to a joke, our main farmer of the time [[Techno_elite]] had a $450 bounty on his head, and Percket and xXnekoqueen raided and sieged Port Potato, and DeDerpyDerp__ Stole Kraken Bait from RengokuCatz (formerly Morro_of_Mordor), to which he soon gave back.

* 8/19/2021 - The [[DNS Southernly Gale]] was rushed back to [[Visitopia]]. She was converted at sea months ago to blockade the CSN *insert name here* 4th rate ship of the line. She was hidden behind an old forgotten naval fortress. She is now in[[Visitopia]]'s main harbor, with her fate either scraping or to be sent to Port Potato, either as a museum ship, or parts ship. She has been dubbed not fit for war. | |||

* 8/21/2021 - Port Potato has started a new project, as apart of the Expansion Era III project; to build a tunnel to connect the two halves of Port Potato to allow for easier access. It was decided to not be ocean level, as it would block the insignificant river and a few non-Port Potato ships into a small "lake".

On the same day, Port Potato started a new project to open up Dry Dock 1 to construction of the [[VEN Northernly Gale]]. Soon, upon measuring the tunnel depth, they realized the drydock was deeper then the canal by 1 block, so the [[VEN Northernly Gale]] will be postponed so the drydocks can be updated. | On the same day, Port Potato started a new project to open up Dry Dock 1 to construction of the [[VEN Northernly Gale]].

* 9/5/2021 - Hawt_Sauce's claims are gone; and now the Southern Pier is complete; along with the expansion of the canal to a uniform depth of 6 blocks. As of now, any ship that is no deeper then 6 blocks underwater; and 27 blocks INCLUDING FENCES wide can go through the canal. Above 3 blocks above the waterline; sails could theoretically be as wide as you wish; within reason. | |||
* 9/21/2021 - Update: Port Potato has mostly finished construction of her first Capital Ship, and Carrier. The yet to be named Unnamed Heavy/Fleet Carrier Design A-2; from the Creative Server. All that is left is to troubleshoot her auto cannons. | |||

Port Potato, after seeing a small railroad North West of Port Potato (The "[[Mithlond]] Railways"); has started building our own railroad.

*9/25/2021 - First the Northern Line was complete, and then the Southern and South Eastern Lines. All that is left, besides some tidying up of the Eastern part of Southern Port Potato; we just have to combine them. | |||
*9/26/2021 - Minor land dispute, both lines very close to merging. All that is in the way is a 13x13 claim. This will be sorted out soon. | |||
*9/29/2021 - We now have all the land needed to finish the railroad. We also claimed all the land needed for the plots of the Third Expansion Era. We now plan to add the docks, then add 8 more plot to Southern Port Potato. This would be the last addition to Port Potato, possibly permanently. (Quick math leads to pointing to these final plans adding 11,000 claimblocks to Port Potato.) | |||
At 7:23PM, EST The two Rail lines where connected, creating the line from the South Eastern (planned) Piers to the Northern Piers. | At 7:23PM, EST The two Rail lines where connected, creating the line from the South Eastern (planned) Piers to the Northern Piers. | ||
