Y'all should have waited till it was 2011 or 2012. :P


Ending a 2008 day delegacy is just as easy or difficult as it is to end a one day delegacy. What matters is the endorsement count and the activity level of the delegate in question. Per usual for invader target selection, the victim delegate wasn't logged in so there was no opposition from natives whatsoever. So there wasn't much of a fight. That would've been difficult, after all.

It's actually far more impressive for someone to maintain delegacy for that long than it is to end that streak. Far, far more impressive.

And, really... think about it. Someone spends 5.5 Real Life years maintaining a delegacy, and then some other people apparently think it's a good idea in and of itself to jump in and ruin that. And for what reason? Schoolyard bragging rights? As far as I'm concerned, you might as well be bragging about your 'elite' puppy kicking skills.

Oh yeah, totally agree that it sucks that his run was ended. But there is some reason he maintained that delegacy for so long and they over came it. I'd assume that reason was TITO rather than his activity though.

I seem to recall I defended that region once back in the day, too.

hehe a delegate of over 5 years taken down. Glorious imo.

In other news, The region of Greater CEsylvania was successfully refounded by me. An event that took me nearly 170 days to accomplish.

Yeah yeah yeah, we get it. We are dirty, horrible slugs. You are shining beacons of hope who will save the "natives" in this game from the evil that is raiding.

We don't play to impress you, we play to have fun. I don't know about the rest of them, but seeing you complain has started to become fun for me.

Alright, I'm gonna tell you again. Pay close attention this time, ok? For fun. Difficult concept for some defenders, I know, but this is a game, and we play it for fun.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but "fun" does not involve impressing you. Or anyone else, for that matter. ;)

Well everyone, don't let the lack of fenda talking here make you think that they are ignoring this raid. I'm sure that is how they wanted us to feel, but that is another subject..

Our talented mission point, Jakker, was able to hold off a fairly large lib attempt made by the UDL just a few minutes ago. Congratulations Jakker!

UDL, try harder next time ;)

18 dead fendas, apparently.

That's like, the same number of raiders in the region now. And the native delegate has 7 endorsements. Way to fail, fendas.

Well done JAKKER

Thanks FD:)

That's including Wordy from last night and one fenda that apparently had a security check and wasn't in the WA when he moved.

TBH has now left Ohio after 5 days. Defenders made a single liberation attempt on the first day, but didn't show up on the 6/7/8 updates after that. I guess we were treating the natives too well there.

It is my pleasure to announce that DEN and The Black Hawks have worked together to take down a region with an active delegate.
Egypt has fallen into raider hands, and not a single defender moved in to stop us. Update troops moved in a mere ten seconds before update, ending the native delegate's reign after 158 days.

DEN troops involved:
Free Noldor States
Of Crazed
DENRawr

TBH troops involved:
Tramiar
Face Dancers

Long live DEN.
Long live TBH.
Long live Raider Unity.
