Nice run, although my favorite part was us accidentally stopping you in Italy :P


Wait, they just raided 26 regions with delegates and you had the numbers to stop them but chose to go only into Italy. That's just lame :palm:

We were running a Liberation with Spiritus, Wintreath, and Lazarus. We just wanted to have some success :blush:
That and most of us weren't equipped for chasing TBR just yet ;)

Nice run out there. I'll chase you better tomorrow; had some work that I was finishing during this past update.

Also Europe du Nord was Markarth, by the looks of it. Last I checked, they're Invader?

They surely are...and if they turned Defenders....well that means Markarth Marshal has turned his coat and betrayed his region. Good spotting Tim, you gave us some good drama potential.

It's interesting that you would mention the Markarth Marshal, because he sent me a telegram mentioning among other things that The Black Riders recently tagged two clearly marked protectorates of The Dominion of Markarth. If that's the case, it was The Black Riders -- not Markarth -- that first violated raider unity. I will wait to hear back from him regarding which two regions were tagged.

In the meantime, I'm not going to be so quick to judge since the Markarth Marshal supported Osiris' recent invasion of Islamic Republics of Iran.

Edit: Speaking of raider unity...

I suspect you're going to regret this. Raiding the territory of Gatesville is probably unwise.

I'm not so quick to judge him, intelligence reports have found that he's been training fendas, which gave us quite a good reason to raid his puppet regions. And after the training, comes the de-tagging. I did speak too quickly on his quality of Marshal though, as the position is actually vacant: http://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=4672756 (from the region founder).

If "his puppet regions" turn out to be protectorates of The Dominion of Markarth, they are not "his puppet regions" but rather protectorates of The Dominion of Markarth. Again, I'm still waiting to hear from him regarding which two regions were tagged -- though apparently you already know, so if you can shed some light on that, that would be great -- but given that The Black Riders have in fact raided other raider regions and their protectorates in the past, I'm afraid I wouldn't be surprised to learn that TBR is raiding raider protectorates now.

We try to keep the tagging of other raiding regions at a minimum, but it's not always easy and mistakes can happen at times, particularly during fast paced sessions.

Dom protectorate equals his, as he is basically the only member of the army, and is the only one maintaining them. No one else in the region care or know about them really, I know it I've been in the region for long while. As for the training fenda thing, he's using this nation: test1234 to train people in the ancient empires of the world.

I would personally suggest trying harder. If you're turning raiders defender, you're doing something wrong.

What does it mean if you turn an invader into a defender back into a raider, but then back to defending once again before they turn invader once more? :P

Happy New Year to The Black Riders, and as a note I apologize for my earlier criticism. It would have best been handled privately, if at all, and thank you for the strong support you've shown to Osiris in 2013 and I hope cooperation between our regions will grow in 2014.
