* Founded: June/10th/2020 (Probably)
* Coords: Around 3000 64 -120 *we do have map icons*
* Owner: [[DeDerpyDerp_]]
* Crew Allegiance: [[VISN]]
* Total Claimblocks: Estimated at ~30k currently
-----------------------------------Canal:
* 6 block deep.
* The canal is currently 27 blocks wall to wall; with the walls going 3 blocks above the water line. So yes, a 27 wide ship with 35 for sails''probably'' would fit.
* Due to the Southern turn, ships to long could be problematic.
* Recommended Max Ship size: 6 blocks below waterline, 27 blocks wide until 3 blocks above water. The shoreline is 33 blocks from the entrance (southern facing); so probably a ~70 block long ship could manage, unless it's 27 blocks wide. Good luck to bigger ships; galleons have made it before the expansions; so you should be good unless you bought a temp rank. (Galleons of ~50x15 worked perfectly)


==Full History of Port Potato==
== The beginnings of Port Potato ==
Founded: June/10th/2020 (Probably)


Original apart of a "crew" of 3 Deckies, all friends IRL, IronGolem5, Silver_Wild, and [[DeDerpyDerp]]; DeDerpyDerp set out south of their original fort near /east for a place to build a port. After buying Firstmate (wanting to own a frigate), he beached his small dhow at the current location of Port Potato. After building a small mini-base, he set north and found a Frigate, to his "surprise" unclaimed. He captured it, took it to the Port, and thus the Port Potato Navy was created, with the first ship being [[DNS Surprise]]. (DNS being DeDerpyDerp_'s Naval Ship.) The first crew DeDerpyDerp was in, the original DNE, never lasted but was "DeDerpyDerp_'s Naval Empire". Soon, Sonu06's of AQUA asked DeDerpyDerp to join. He accepted. While his 2 friends were kept in the dark of the port, in order to suprise them.

While his 2 friends were kept in the dark of the port, in order to surprise them.  


As DeDerpyDerp invested into the port, becoming more active, his friends became less active. Not much is recorded of this time, sadly.

== The First Battle of Port Potato ==
[[The First Battle of Port Potato]] as recounted by [[DeDerpyDerp]]:
''This section is narrated by DeDerpyDerp__.''
"Due to AQUA Aggression, and allied force raided Port Potato. I immediately surrendered after realizing his allies weren't coming to help, most of them being offline. Port Potato was allowed to surrender separately from AQUA, and we didn't even face occupation. Soon, negotiations about a war lead to 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 succeed 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.

By now IronGolem5 and Silver_Wild had moved in, and the port had a oak wood farm, and a Potato farm. This Potato farm caused the name to be "Port Potato". The Port of Potatoes. <s>Yet again not much is remembered of this era, as DeDerpyDerp forgot to keep records.</s>

EDIT: While the lack of records is true, chronologically the next battle happened after both IronGolem5 and Silver_wild were afk for a while, practically leaving DeDerpyDerp_ "The Last of Port Potato".

== [[The Second Battle of Port Potato]] ==
''This section is narrated by DeDerpyDerp_.''


------------------
"Due to my loyalties to my allies, [[CSN]] tried to get me to fight [[ESE]], one of my main allies. After refusing, CSN launched a massive siege.
TL;DR 20 CSN crew members and at least 5 cannons were brought to bear. 5 hours of constant sieging left what was left of the Port near ruin. Port Potato, sadly finally surrendered."

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 had any interest in being on the server anymore.

== [[The Third Battle of Port Potato]] ==
''This section is narrated by DeDerpyDerp_.''


"''I was the only active member of Port Potato, now under CSN rule. Due to me wanting to fully own the port, I had enough, raised my flag back ontop of the Port, and due to CSN forgetting about the Port, got away with claiming independence without any allied forces helping. This somehow worked.''"

"The Silver Incident"

Paraphrased by [[DeDerpyDerp]]:
"Sadly, after I became very close friends with Silver_Wild, being "Loved like a brother" (later on I realized that Silver_Wild hates her family). Silver_Wild suddenly broke ties with DeDerpyDerp with little explanation. (Most details are withheld for respect of Silver_Wild's privacy.)"


Soon, None of the Port Potato members were active. Even DeDerpyDerp, "The Last of Port Potato", IronGolem5 handing over his claims, and Silver_Wild (who would've been the successor to DeDerpyDerp) leaving, left just him. He went offline for almost 6 months, even unlocking his ships and telling allies "all yours, just sail them to a better home." (Luckily none we're ever taken).

----------------
[[Yraglacus]], a shipwright well know on the server (at least to Port Potato's allies) wished to create a crew, [[Prussia (PRSA)]].

The beginnings of Port Potato

Original apart of a crew of 3 Deckhands, IronGolem5, Silver_Wild, and DeDerpyDerp_. DeDerpyDerp_ set out south of their original fort near East for a place to build a port. After receiving the rank of Firstmate, which he wanted to be able to sail a Frigate, he beached his small dhow at the current location of Port Potato. After constructing a small base, he set north and found a Frigate, to his surprise it was unclaimed. He captured it and sailed it to the Port and thus the Port Potato Navy was created, with the first ship being DNS Surprise. The first crew DeDerpyDerp_ was in was "DeDerpyDerp__'s Naval Empire", which didn't last long. Soon, Sonu06 of the crew AQUA asked DeDerpyDerp__ to join him, which he accepted. While his 2 friends were kept in the dark of the port, in order to surprise them.

As DeDerpyDerp__ invested into the port, becoming more active, his friends became less active. Not much is recorded of this time, sadly.


The First Battle of Port Potato

This section is narrated by DeDerpyDerp__.

"Due to AQUA Aggression, and allied force raided Port Potato. I immediately surrendered after realizing his allies weren't coming to help, most of them being offline. Port Potato was allowed to surrender separately from AQUA, and we didn't even face occupation. Soon, negotiations about a war lead to Sonu06, AQUA's leader, to explain that AQUA was a raiding crew.

"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.


Age of Expansion

By now IronGolem5 and Silver_Wild had moved in, and the port had a oak wood farm, and a Potato farm. This Potato farm caused the name to be "Port Potato". The Port of Potatoes.

Further information: While the lack of records is true, chronologically the next battle happened after both IronGolem5 and Silver_wild were inactive for a while, practically leaving DeDerpyDerp__ "The Last of Port Potato".

The Second Battle of Port Potato

This section is narrated by DeDerpyDerp_.

"Due to my loyalties to my allies, CSN tried to get me to fight ESE, one of my main allies. After refusing, CSN launched a massive siege. TL;DR 20 CSN crew members and at least 5 cannons were brought to bear. 5 hours of constant sieging left what was left of the Port near ruin. Port Potato, sadly finally surrendered."


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 had any interest in being on the server anymore.


The Third Battle of Port Potato

This section is narrated by DeDerpyDerp_.

"I was the only active member of Port Potato, now under CSN rule. Due to me wanting to fully own the port, I had enough, raised my flag back ontop of the Port, and due to CSN forgetting about the Port, got away with claiming independence without any allied forces helping. This somehow worked."

Post-CSN Rule

IronGolem5, being rarely active, did participate in the third battle, which helped burn the CSN flag garrisoned at Port Potato. During this time, Silver_Wild had been offline almost 6 months now.

Port Potato was expanding at a large rate, it now having 5 ships to it's name:


The Silver Incident

The Crew of Port Potato, now under the DNE crew name, the crew "Port Potato", had expanded to include some former members of AQUA and 2 deckies. Sadly, most where inactive [Only DeDerpyDerp_ and Silver_Wild (rarely) have been on, IronGolem5 being on also rarely.

This section is narrated by DeDerpyDerp_. "Sadly, after I became very close friends with Silver_Wild, being "Loved like a brother" (later on I realized that Silver_Wild hates her family). Silver_Wild suddenly broke ties with DeDerpyDerp_ with little explanation. (Most details are withheld for respect of Silver_Wild's privacy.)"

Soon, None of the Port Potato members were active. Even DeDerpyDerp_, "The Last of Port Potato", IronGolem5 handing over his claims, and Silver_Wild (who would've been the successor to DeDerpyDerp_) leaving, left just him. He went offline for almost 6 months, even unlocking his ships and telling allies "all yours, just sail them to a better home." (Luckily none we're ever taken).

The Prussian Renaissance.

Yraglacus, a shipwright well know on the server (at least to Port Potato's allies) wished to create a crew, Prussia (PRSA). DeDerpyDerp_ joined Yrag in creating Prussia, and soon gifted his port as the First Prussian Colony, the then Prussian Port Potato. DeDerpyDerp_ soon became co-leader of Prussia. One of the main goals, as said by Yrag: "We need the biggestPortPotato on the server."


Expansion Era Two, Electric Boogaloo

Port Potato, now revitalized, expanded and built a warehouse and 2 "drydocks".


(4/24/2021) Yraglacus-era Port Potato temporarily left to Yraglacus as DeDerpyDerp_ left Prussia to join VISN to fight CSN. He will return to Prussia (PRSA) after the war. This was part of a planned Prussian "Land Lease" Program.


(5/22/2021) On leave from the war, the hostilities mostly dying down, DeDerpyDerp__ completed the set of dry docks at Port Potato; and planed to revive Port Potato Shipyards ---------------


(6/23/2021) PRSA has been not only declared dead by Yraglacus, but also DeDerpyDerp_ was allowed to stay in VISN. Using debt owed to DeDerpyDerp_; Yrag sold Port Potato (and all his holdings, including being the soul successor of the port and her territories) to DeDerpyDerp_ for a (agreed low offer) of ~4,000 before interest. NOTE: THE PORT IS NOT FOR SALE.

VISN now indirectly owns Port Potato, however it remains full autonomous. Potato trades are reported "good".


NOTE: Due to the Land Lease allowing DeDerpyDerp__ to stay long enough to be a dual crew member (A visn program); and PRSA dying, DeDerpyDerp__ is still under land lease, having no crew to return to. "This may not be fully legally binding, but is a good enough excuse to stay in VISN." -DeDerpyDerp__



(7-24/2021) DeDerpyDerp__, on vacation, decided to update the page.

"Port Potato has commissioned the VEN Port Potato, a ship of our own design. She is my new flagship, and I will keep the VEN Potato, my former flagship, as another trader in my fleet. We have started to look into hiring farmers to farm at Port Potato."-----------


(7/26/2021) 4th Battle of Port Potato


(8-8/2021) Port Potato has launched a Rapid Expansion Project, later renamed Expansion Era III, with a goal of a (5k claimblocks small city sized) expansion across the bay from Port Potato. Work so far has been putting signs everywhere making the intentions known, Port Potato will soon claim this land. (We are to broke rn.)

(8-8/2021) Progress Update on the Rapid Expansion Project: 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.


(8-9/2021) Port Potato has realized it's Potato selling/storage system is to small; and now is building a larger one. The Sell/Buy area will stay the same; just the storage area will change from 5 dubs of each to *unknown amount* each. (Baked and Raw)---------------------


(8/18/2021) The 5th Battle of Port Potato and 6th Battle of Port Potato happened today, here is the tl;dr:


  • 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).
  • 6th Battle: 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. Percket soon claimed the bounty, and after the seemingly empty threats, have left Port Potato alone; to which we are thankful and have ment no offense to yet.



(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 inVisitopia'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". (As so far we have no intel suggesting they are submersible.)


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.


We have also now recognized Techno_Elite, formerly Shadow_6400; as the newest bigger donator, having donated over 1.2k (excluding purchases) to Port Potato, from her 3rdExpansion Era, to upgrading farms.------------------


(8/22/2021) Tunnel and drydocks complete.


3:21 PM (EST) Canal's Toll Mechanism Gets flooded, is now broken. Will be down until furthernotice.

8:03 PM (EST) Port Potato's Toll Canal has been Decommissioned.------------------------------------(9/2/2021) Update:


The Hawt_Sauce Incident is underway, as a deckie is currently blocking some plots with claims. Matters are being delt with as we speak.



Port Potato has also now offered to exchange donations for having street names named after you. Feel free to /mail or DM DeDerpyDerp__ for applications.



(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.
