Tyr's Own - The Greenwolf Days

Tyr's Own, the crew, was formed on the lauch of the Midnight Ocean. It consisted of beta players from the Azure Ocean, primarily by members of Green's Wolves and The Revenge, both members of the Braindead Buccaneers flag, who controled Azure's version of Jorvik Island. In December 2003, durring the Midnight shope auctions, Green's Wolves and The Revenge became were formed as seperate entities, spliting on good terms but different focuses. The Wolves would join Looterati, while The Revenge would join Nyx's Scions.

The two crews would rejoin, this time as Tyr's Own, the flag, along with the Fifth Fist, the Pheonix Warriors, and the Serial Pillagers, in preperation to the blockade release, with the intention of procuring Jorvik Island.

To test the new blockade feature, Bryne Island and Wrasse Island (some one check me on that) were opened. When, after a few hours, no one had attacked Bryne yet, the senior members of Tyr's Own dropped a war chest on Bryne. This was more to get the ball rolling then anything else. Tyr's Own was successfull in taking the island and proceeded to put up a number of buildings with Talking Heads theamed names.

Unfortunetly, what started as a sideshow to experiment with the new blockades wound up taking a good deal of Tyr's time, and they were not in a position to contend for Jorvik, thier original goal, when it opened, and Looterati took the island. While Tyr's Own did, latter, mount attacks to secure their original target island, they were unsuccessfull, largely because ocean opinion was against them. As Tyr allready had one island, and they were attacking an island with an allready established colony of another flag, they were seen as quite the aggessors.

By summer of 2004, many of the "old guard" of the flag had been playing the game for over a year, and they slowly became inactive.
