I think it was just a way to annoy you tbh, you (meaning the Black Hawks, not you specifically) always seemed so proud of them, and saying 'oh sure you can x number of minuscule regions in one update but you can't take serious targets' was just a way to burst your bubble/prick your pride/insert similar metaphor here.

Of course now that the nature of TBH's raiding has changed we're finding that we're missing the 'old days' a little :p

Haha. They are kind of fun. But so is this! Maybe someday we will bring those back for you guys who miss them :hug:

Or you could make me worship you forever by randomly screwing other raider groups?

No?

Worth a try. :p

Thats the weird part, if the more experienced defenders started to raid then they'd be very good at it :blush:I've already written my list of regions i'll raid before i leave NS :D

Back by popular demand!
TBH did a tagging run tonight and managed to take 5 regions, each one of them with a delegate in place.
My personal favorite was FurNation, in which the delegate had been in place for 1906 days. Yes, the founder did log in and kick us all later, but our mission was a success. 8)

List of regions taken:
FurNation
The__Balkans
The West
Discordia
Ecotopia

Troops involved:
Jakker
HawkRawr
Tramiar
Ballopia
Jordsindia
Exceeding Expectations

We only missed one update, and the UDL didn't stop us once (no matter how hard they tried) ;)

raiders sleep when they die, which for some is a daily or day to day basis.

Kandarin(Naivetry): You're going to have a great NS career ahead of you if you want it, Mahaj. :)
<@Eluvatar> Why is SkyDip such a purist raiderist
<+frattastan> Because his region was never raided.
<+maxbarry> EarthAway: I guess I might dabble in raiding just to experience it better, but I would not like to raid regions of natives, so I'd probably be more interested in defense and liberations
