Today I claim Goroum for Midway.

Some may call this a hostile takeover, however I did this without casting and lowering any influence from USA

I want there to be a new/old flag on the map.

Going forward I will assume any conspiracy to be from USA in an attempt to regain the port. I caution against this. For every 2 million I lose I will lower USA 1 million. I don't want to do that as we all worked hard for that influence.

Midway intends to stay on the map.

the map is becoming more and more diverse.

Interesting turn of events.

Definitely an interesting development.

Hmm. Well, I understand why he choose the USA. I would probably pick the USA, as most of its players are merchants with little to no experience in warring/fighting for a port, with the hope that they won't fight back. As well, they would still have another port, so they aren't being eliminated from the map. It's a pretty low and dirty move.

Not low and dirty. Just diversifying.

Diversifying would be stealing a port from a nation like Spain or St.Kiss-Nevis. You didn't pick those, because they would snatch the port back with ease.

You have 1 port. So do I. Seems fair to the citizens of Midway.

I would also heed my earlier warning. My influence has dropped 44 million. USA has also dropped as a result. I don't wish for further loses.

The US can have it back whenever the Flagship is released and Shadow turns Pirate again.
