It was a negotiated merger between IoM and the King of Kiribati Astragek... I am confused as to why TK needs to meddle in affairs that are frankly none of their business.

I am done talking.

War it is.

Looking back at what has happened already, I can see a LOT of mistakes.

The biggest mistake of all, was starting a propaganda war, like as if this port was yours. It wasn't. It was a contest and you reacted like as if it was yours. You still do.

It wasn't a contest, you guys decided it should be a contest because it didn't sit well with you that the empire that is IoM is growing. William had been speaking with Astra for weeks prior to the take over. YOU chose to intervene, YOU chose to start the prop war, YOU are the once instigating greater cost for both parties for your own selfish endeavors. You can't point a finger without 3 pointing back at you, just remember that.

Joke of the day

Since St Kitts Nevis gave Kiribati the port of Baramas after our rise, we feel that the port of Baramas defaults back to our ownership when Kiribati gave it up.

On a serious note:

I see where IOM is coming from,but one thing I don’t get is if IOM is buying then why did UK take it first?

On TK point of view, yes ports are not really owned but controlled. TK can choose to go to war over port ownership. IOM can choose to defend their new acquisition. Neither of them are wrong on the matter.

Who is entitled to control the port? The simple answer is, whoever can keep it. Considering the age of SHM and BS in the game and their resources, i think they can outlast the port war easily. Knowing VUDU, they will continue to hassle TK and Ravenlock after the loss for a long time.

Proposal: if TK and IOM/VUDU can agree on a monetary value to go peacefully and relinquish Baramas to IOM, that would be optimal.

Alternative: Vane comes in last minute for a new nation and control the port !

St Kitts did not give Kiribati the port of Barams. It was gifted to Grenada..... that was 3 nations ago Phoenix. I was one of the 3 founding members of Grenada and negotiated with Will for the port along with Mugiwara and Mohamed.

I do like your thought of it going back to the nation that gifted it to Kiribati...... because that was the UK as has been stated several times in this thread.

Why not have kitts keep it for temporary war suspension so both sides can prepare to duke it out once and for all over that port? :) Port Arenas!!!!
