Since we were unable to change the WFE in time, I'll post all the fun stuff here.

The Black Hawks tag raided Lemuria ending a delegate run of 2663 days. It was one of the longest runs in the game. Ouch ;)

The Black Hawks have ended their joint occupation of Alliance of Socialist States with DEN forces when the raid culminated in a surprise liberation attempt from FRUDL and TITO forces! While we normally do not see TITO participating in liberation attempts, this pleasant surprise that was countered by the skilled handling of the banhammer.

Support came from Unknown and The Black Riders, following their successful raid on Gargantuan with Black Hawk aid.

Capitalist Paradise Invaded!

Postby Jakker » Fri Jun 01, 2012 10:17 pm

The Black Hawks have successfully raided Capitalist Paradise, a region of 300 nations. It’s the biggest raid in quite some time. Special thanks to The Black Riders, The New Inquisition, DEN, and Unknown for their assistance. A great show of raider unity.

In case anyone was wondering why our raid count has been low for the last month or two, it's cause Jakker was busy doing that!

As per this discussion, we're locking a few of the regional news threads, and asking them to start again in the hope that they'll become less chatty. Players looking for general gameplay chat should now use this thread.

When it's re-posted, I'd suggest putting some basic information about the region in the OP (purpose, history, who's in charge). It'd be worth including a line to make clear it's a news thread, not a chat thread, though you can add a link to this thread for people looking for previous announcements from the region.
