DEN victory in A Silly Place
TITO tricked into handing over A Silly Place to DEN
News broke recently that the historic region, A Silly Place has fallen to DEN. A Silly Place has always been a relatively small region, with its population usually around 10-30 nations. Nonetheless, it has been around since at least 2003, though it has been founderless for a number of years. As a result, the region had been targeted by invaders from time to time, and a recent invasion prompted TITO (the military wing of 10000 Islands) to contact the delegate, Marflo about re-founding. This was to be organised by TITO Field Commander Anime Daisuki, with the hope being that re-founding would leave the region secure from future invasions.
Following the successful re-found in mid-March, Grub (10000 Islands founder) handed Buddman, the founder nation of A Silly Place, over to Marflo, who had served as delegate for A Silly Place since May 2010. However, it turned out that Marflo was the Foreign Minister of DEN, the well-known invader group, and that the raid which prompted the re-founding had been deliberately set up for that purpose by DEN.
A recent press-statement by The DEN Field Marshal of Attitude 910 claimed that DEN "are not empire builders", but would hold the region "to prove a point". These points were that DEN "are still smarter then the Fendas" and that defender groups should stop re-founding regions, as they can never truly know when they are handing the founder nation over to an invader. TITO were unavailable for comment at the time of going to press.
It remains to be seen whether these events have any effect on defender tactics, but NSNS will be watching to see what happens.
