'''The Straumen Crisis'''

Straumen was controlled by TheHenstigator, whose relationship with Norway deteriorated considerably. During this period, TheHenstigator repeatedly killed Norwegian citizens. These incidents were confirmed, and Anders personally compensated several of the affected players for equipment they had lost.

Straumen was controlled by TheHenstigator, whose relationship with Norway deteriorated considerably. During this period, TheHenstigator repeatedly killed Norwegian citizens. These incidents were confirmed, and Anders personally compensated several of the affected players for equipment they had lost. TheHenstigator also became increasingly hostile toward Norway and discussed leaving the nation to establish a political project of his own. Around the same time, one of his associates established a town in Alaska, increasing concern that the conflict could extend beyond Straumen itself.

Straumen was eventually removed from Norway. Following this, TheHenstigator offered to sell the town for approximately 2,200 gold.

Normann was initially willing to purchase Straumen at that price, while Anders and Only argued that Norway should take advantage of its stronger negotiating position. Because Straumen was located in an area largely surrounded by Norway, they believed TheHenstigator had relatively few realistic alternative buyers. Their preferred strategy was therefore to wait rather than immediately accept his asking price.

Their preferred strategy was therefore to wait rather than immediately accept his asking price. The strategy began to produce results. After approximately one week with little communication, the price fell from around 2,200 gold to approximately 1,600 gold. Anders and Only believed that continued patience might have reduced the price even further, potentially toward approximately 1,100 gold. The disagreement therefore became about more than the value of one town. Anders and Only favored using Norway's territorial position as leverage, while Normann was more willing to secure Straumen at a higher price.

River later became directly involved in the dispute without, according to Anders and Only, having been informed about the strategy behind delaying negotiations. He strongly criticized their handling of the situation and described it as "unacceptable."

The criticism also affected the previously cooperative economic relationship between Anders and River. Anders had been providing River with substantial discounts through his map art business because of their shared involvement in Norway. Following River's criticism, Anders cancelled those discounted arrangements. Using River's own wording, Anders argued that if the handling of Straumen was considered "unacceptable," then continuing to provide substantial nation-based discounts while other customers paid normal prices could likewise be considered "unacceptable."

The Straumen crisis brought several existing tensions together. It involved disagreements over negotiation strategy, political influence, economic relationships, and the way internal disputes were handled. River's position also became part of the wider disagreement because, despite having been appointed directly by Normann rather than elected, he had developed into one of the most influential figures within Norway.
