We've already been condemned and the negative labels applied to us are staggering in number. So, why would the TBR General Staff care about using a recruiting method that has a negative label applied to it?

I'm not saying that they would care, I'm saying that it is underhanded :P Frankly, I don't expect that they would care

Thank you for your valuable criticism of my counter-debating. Would you like to contribute to the topic at hand now?

You used a smilie. Prepare for invalidation.
Also they hadn't until Kog's last reply.

Still haven't provided an argument. Nice deflection with the smiley though. Only problem is, I actually, ya know, had substance to my post beyond a smiley.

Now are you going to respond to any of the arguments brought before you? Or are you just going to keep trying to change the focus to other things.

Try reading above. I responded to Kog's argument and he acknowledged it.

What purpose do you have in this thread, by the way? It seems like you're only here to try to stir things up.

Gameplay politics and criticism in general. "People generally agree it's bad, so you shouldn't do it." For example, raiding active roleplay regions. :lol2:

Marshal Gest repelling the defenders attacking uphill


Huzzah! Huzzah! A defender mob made out of 30 updaters from various regions, including TEK, was defeated and thrown over the cliff by Marshal Gest the Destroyer! The unorganized mob of defenders didn't manage to place all their forces inside Anarchy before the region updated, and this proved to be fatal as Gest's banning skills sent them all to The Rejected Realms.

All Hail The Black Riders!

2. Devious Tyrant
3. The Covenant of Shrek
4. Intergalactic Military Alliance
5. Lab
6. Flying Spaghetti Monster Islands
7. Inner Mongolia
8. The Western Empire
9. Pueri Solis
10. Green Planet
11. Federation of Independent Realms FIR
12. The Great Britain and Eire
13. Flartins World

19. The International Radiated Wasteland
20. The Communist
21. Greater Sierra Alliance
22. United States of Africa
23. Scarlet Borderlands
24. My Little Pony
25. Trinity

The 25 regions The Black Riders hit during this update were "smoked' as a victory cigar.

I mean, the reason an attempt on Ixnay didn't materialize was because we attempted Anarchy :P

Two liberations with 30 updaters on less than 12 hours of planning with the regions targeted only about 15 minutes apart? I don't think that has ever been pulled off in the history of NS.

15 minutes? plenty of time,if TBR can pull off an entire tag-raid and reinforce a occupations,then you guys should be able to attempt two liberations

I bet you couldn't.

I've never seen raiders pull 30 updaters, let alone on 12 hours of planning

You would need 30 to lib Anarchy (Well, counting the 5 ejections, 32)

Lol thats also because we're talking about a tag run. Comparing a tag run of dozens of regions to a single region liberation effort is like comparing cats and dogs.

Exactly, so when people like Blood Wine compare the difficulty of a tag run and reinforcing one region to two 30-person liberations, you can see my point.
