The Historically Accounting of DNE, by DeDerpyDerp_; it's founder both times. Please note none of DNE's History was well documented, or in most cases documented at all.
History
The First Time:
DNE was originally founded by DeDerpyDerp_; was for him, Irongolem5 and Silver_wild. All three knew each other IRL. The original """base""", near Warp East, was a simple cobblestone castle.
Pre-Port Potato
The group thought that a wall would suffice to keep people and mobs out, hence the claim was immediately claimed entirely by DeDerpyDerp_ for easier management, and 4 walls where erected. While a later installed moat helped with mobs, players have IQ and soon raiders would just scale the wall or break in the door or pillar next to the wall (being 5 blocks tall) across from the moat. This base was to weak, and soon as Irongolem5 and Silver where growing less active, and DNE not actually being fully founded yet (couldn't pay the fee yet or wasn't high enough rank, the historian forgot); soon AQUA offered DeDerpyDerp_ a position in their crew, to help create the newest Rome, the newest superpower on the server.
Everyone's favorite, Port Potato
DeDerpyDerp_, now in AQUA, started to create a new base, a port. He sailed south, and further south, passed an abandoned ship (The now DNS Surprise), and found the "perfect" spot. He then started work in secret, and bought Firstmate for 10.00 to be able to sail a frigate. What luck, he went back after the first dock was made, and the soon-to-be-DNS Surprise was still there, and better yet: she was a frigate. After her capture and slight upgunning, she became the first (and for the time, only) flagship of Port Potato.
As the port grew and grew from a beached dhow (sadly lost to time) to an armed frigate (DNS Surprise), to now a trading ship, DNS Potato; with even a farming plot; suddenly:
The First Battle of Port Potato
July 2, 2020. DeDerpyDerp_ didn't know it at the time, but AQUA was at war with the EA Federation, and the opening battle would be at Port Potato. The attack was lead by his first customer, *name forgotten*, along with numerous troops. DeDerpyDerp_ lost the siege immediately, then many other deaths trying to defend his port. The farms where sacked, and the Navy wasn't actually "crippled" per-say, however it never could leave port in the battle, and a unfinished ship for AQUA was half-destroyed. DeDerpyDerp_ soon surrendered the Port to EA, on favorable terms. AQUA was alerted of the attack, and had players on, but no help was sent.
To qoute DeDerpyDerp_ from the Port Potato wiki page on the event:
"This section is narrated by DeDerpyDerp__. 'Due to AQUA Aggression, an allied force raided Port Potato. I immediately surrendered after realizing my allies weren't coming to help. Port Potato was allowed to surrender separately from AQUA, and we didn't even face occupation. Soon, negotiations about a war lead Sonu06, AQUA's leader, to explain that AQUA was a raiding crew. This was the first I had been told of our declared status of raiding. I began trying to secede from AQUA. "The battle was the largest defeat Port Potato ever suffered, having losing her only ship in war time, a... "unique" designed Warship for AQUA. (Apparently the bow was unclaimed.) It was however, not the longest siege. "After a peace was negotiated, DeDerpyDerp_ talked with his attacker, ironically whom he soon recognized one as the first person he built a ship for. (Person sadly unknown, burnt records) After apologizing for the attack, they helped DeDerpyDerp_ gain freedom.'"
Aftermath
After the battle, on July 3rd; DNE was re-founded, under the name "Port Potato"; after their capital and only city. Slowly but surely, DNE gained more and more members, with some records saying they had more then 10 people claiming allegiance.
