I'm tired of having to try to fix raiderdom as a raider, while having "true raiders" belittle me. TBR fell and gave raiders a bad image. DEN fell and gave raiders a bad image. I see a third wave coming.

So I'm changing my method. If I can't stop this as a raider, then I'll stop it as a defender.

Let's just say I'll be much more eager to take down certain raider regions than others.

I'm disappointing. Christmas has been raided for ten days now, executed a delegate change, and amassed 14e verrry slowly.... usually these things would be squashed by now. How far are you going to let them go, defenders? :P
