'''Bend''', formerly '''Portland''', was a town in [[Cascadia (Nova)|Cascadia]] in the former location of Bend. The town was founded by [[BetaPlain]] on 24 December 2019, with intentions to form the nation of [[Nova:Oregon (BetaPlain)|Oregon]]. However, due to the lack of proximity with other Cascadian towns and being too far away from real-life Portland's location, activity was sparse, resulting in the town being sold to player Chrysoprasus.

==History==

=== '''Early Planning''' ===
Early planning for Portland began when [[BetaPlain]] was dissatisfied with his town of [[Newburn (Nova)|Newburn]] and the fact that he was not able to fulfill his wishes to form the nation of [[Republic of Southwest Alaska (Nova)|Southwest Alaska]]. Player [[EstiQT|Estonian Mapping]] contacted [[BetaPlain]] during this troubling moment and asked if he could form the nation of [[Nova:Oregon (BetaPlain)|Oregon]] for the [[Cascadia (Nova)|Republic of Cascadia]], as a new province. [[EstiQT|Estonian Mapping]] offered to fund the nation of [[Nova:Oregon (BetaPlain)|Oregon]] via the [[Cascadia (Nova)|Cascadian]] treasury, in an endeavor to expand [[Cascadia (Nova)|Cascadia's]] political power within the region and its population.

[[BetaPlain]] chose a spot for Portland in the ruins of Bend, an old town that was disbanded a long time ago. [[BetaPlain]] chose the ruins of Bend due to its semi proximity to the real-life location of [[wikipedia:Portland,_Oregon|Portland]], and the fact that the ruins could serve as a launch point to expand the town further.

[[BetaPlain]] personally inspected the ruins himself via the nation spawn in Astoria and made it clear to [[EstiQT|Estonian Mapping]] that the location was favorable to create a town. [[BetaPlain]] was under the impression that he would eventually raise enough gold to expand Portland to its real-life location.

=== Founding the Town ===
[[BetaPlain]] founded the town of Portland on 24 February 2019, however the source of the required gold is no longer known. [[BetaPlain]] quickly began development of the area where the town was, and preparations were made to create a town hall in the ruins of Bend, and a new shopping district, akin to his ideas for [[Newburn (Nova)|Newburn]].

'''Initial Problems'''

Despite initial high hopes for the town, [[BetaPlain]] quickly lost motivation to continue to town due to a variety of factors. One of the most important factors however was the town's location, which quickly proved to be a problem.

The town's lack of proximity to the actual location of [[wikipedia:Portland,_Oregon|Portland]] made the town slightly hard to find on the dynmap and there was nothing stopping anyone from founding another town in [[wikipedia:Portland,_Oregon|Portland's]] real-life location.

'''Discord Server and Early Organization'''

[[BetaPlain]] began development of a discord server for Portland, which had inspirations from [[Newburn (Nova)|Newburn's]] discord server and the [[Cascadia (Nova)|Cascadian]] discord server. [[BetaPlain]] developed a new system where town members could make proposals to the mayor via the discord server, and allow all town members to vote. It was during this time that [[BetaPlain]] also developed the Portland Metropolitan Area idea to be implemented into the new nation of [[Nova:Oregon (BetaPlain)|Oregon]], which [[BetaPlain]] wanted to create.

'''Claim Arm'''

BetaPlain sought to fix the imminent problem of claiming the real-life location of [[wikipedia:Portland,_Oregon|Portland]] via a large claim arm. However, [[BetaPlain|BetaPlain's]] lack of gold made [[BetaPlain]] curious of the effective cost of claiming to the location, which prompted him to make a calculation. In this calculation, it was revealed that it would take hundreds of gold bars to claim all the way to [[wikipedia:Portland,_Oregon|Portland's]] real-life location, and that deleting the town and founding a new one would be cheaper. It was also at this point that [[BetaPlain]] ended his plans to develop the ruins of Bend, instead making designs for his town in [[wikipedia:Portland,_Oregon|Portland's]] real-life location.

'''Proposal to the Town'''

[[BetaPlain]], not sure on what to do, made a proposal to the town on 8 February 2020 to delete Portland and recreate it at a more suitable location. This proposal received unanimous support, and support from non-residents of the town were considered. Shortly following this proposal, [[BetaPlain]] began saving vote gold for the creation of a new town, and player [[EstiQT|Estonian Mapping]] asked [[BetaPlain]] to rename Portland to Bend and sell it to a nearby player.
[[File:Town Proposal of Portland to move it.png|none|thumb|401x401px|The proposal in the Portland discord server which received unanimous support.]]

===The Selling of Bend===
With unanimous support both from within and outside the town, [[BetaPlain]] made the executive decision to sell the town to a local resident of the nearby area. On 9 February 2020, Portland was renamed to Bend and was sold to player Chrysoprasus.
