We are now living in the middle of GOLDEN ERA of raiding, but we all raiders aren't yet realized it. CROM!

[Ambroscus Koth]

I assure you Cora, I used the words "golden age" a lot in my Colonel exam

[Kyuji]

Really?
Twice in a week?

[Gradea]

Really?
Twice in a week?

Are you surprised? They raid My Little Pony every update.

I thought they'd leave my region alone after I created a wall of shame factbook

What seems to go over most people's head is that our process of choosing targets is completely random. So if we have raided that region a day before, but the region's original state has been restored, then it will be raided again.

So you're going to keep raiding Kyujis Den untill I give up?

Yes. I cannot give a shit personally what is my rank, as long as I have troops to Crush'm'all! Koth. Respect.

@Mods: Ignore recruiting rules. Cimmeria is the attidude within The Elite Cvalry, it never recruit anybody... sadly.

Edit: some errors corrected in this Forum-Side Comment. Sorry about that, there are people around who plays the Game.

If it's raidable, it will be raided, basically.

Yep! Like I said previously, you/your region is not special if it gets raided, even multiple times. We don't have a vendetta against you and we don't want your region in particular. Just a target that was available

[We Are Not the NSA]

Yay! I got to break in my new puppets.

[Esparmuran]

Just a question, do you guys do raid requests?

[RiderSyl]

No, we don't. A big reason for that is because we get those requests constantly, and we don't want to be a mercenary military.

[Esparmuran]

No, we don't. A big reason for that is because we get those requests constantly, and we don't want to be a mercenary military.

Alright, thanks for the response.

[Jean Pierre Trudeau]

No, we don't. A big reason for that is because we get those requests constantly, and we don't want to be a mercenary military.

Think of the profit man!

[RiderSyl]

Well done, my fellow Riders.

[Corvus Corax]

Good work!

Cimmerians had to skip this one. Little bit too rough and intoxicated Friday night party in a northern Mountain village for Saturday morning raids (...after 20 consecutive active updates including 13 in Command/trigger. That is probably new NS R/D gameplay record in it's own category). Luckily barbarians managed minimize public statements this time.

One update and we're already built the tagfield of 1000+! Again! It will be second time in the History. CROM!

These new anti-raider and anti-TBR projects... uh... they won't lead anywhere. They offer no new threats, and they are plaqued by same in-active incompetence, hypocrisy and unrealistic megalomaniac goals, just like every single other similar project in the past. Only approach of direct confrontation could change situation little bit there... on the updating Taglands. When someone, someday would be able to include tactics of 'direct confrontation' to their Anti-TBR forum agendas, and also act in practice for that practical approach, there could happen some minor changes in a balance of forces. Otherwise this contemporary uprising of anti-raider mentality has no everlasting impact to the process of The R/D gameplay, what so ever, and thus it is destined to be another historical curiosity for the future historians of The NationStates Gameplay.

Let's continue ahead, My dear Darkspawn!

[Bier Stein]

Y'all need to tell some of your pointmen to tag the regions before it updates again.

[Baghdad Bob]

Minor Update, March 28th

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! The Elite Cavalry Unit under Command of new generation elite raid leader, Sergeant Hired Contractor made a succesful update despite of severe technical difficulties and two defenders whom were this time found some motivation to confront the Black Riders on the battlefields.

The Black Riders were once again victorious!

When you and your folks achieve 25% success against TBR tag teams, you can then come again here to adjust our 2% untag levels. Thank you.

Never-before-seen picture of what the majority of Riders are up to before a raid the majority of the time

Major Update, March 29th

HUZZAH! The Beer Rid - I mean the Black Riders - strike yet again, super accurately, because nothing was spinning at all for anyone! They rode land to land, not swerving from their lanes whatsoever, and even stopped those Righteous, Just "Defenders" from invading South Pacific. Although some minor Fendas resistance was encountered when the Riders embarked on their pilgrimage-to-pillage, they were chased away by reinforcements - routed back to those sad, worthless lands they refer to in their native language as "home".
