If so, please do your tags then. You have few points. Add WFE (below) and TBR flag, remove all tags but add 'invader' and 'recruiter friendly' (also 'puppet storage' if you wish make perfect tags), withdraw and abort all embassies, Clear ban list, delete dispatches, welcoming messages and polls, suppres page or two on RMB, request embassy with TBR. If you want, you can also write comment on RMB, but please follow rules and do not spam if doing so. :P

Eject and ban as much you can (do not kick your fellow riders)!

So suprised I got the Report + all my tags done before 4 am AND got to class on time! This is a rarity. I blame you guys for my ever increasing caffeine addiction.

Speaking of scandals... I believe somebody is leaking my work schedule to the invader side. You guys only seem to move (other than TBR's incredible tag runs and ERN's recent tag attempts) when I'm working late.

You're just trying to get me to like Malice even more than I already do. Clearly a member of the "Turn Thomas Raider" conspiracy.

I suppose it depends on what kind of empire you want to maintain. Antifa maintains what? 300-400 regions?

Hardly an "empire" though. I'd be surprised if any more than 3 of those had thriving communities.

@Jean: I wasted 2 years of my 4 years in NS for Antifa and that 'empire' without using any kind login scripts or tools to make things easier. As far as I know nobody else participated used them either.

I finished my next 2 years within ranks of TBR. Where is the problem now? One embassy or what? Did Antifa took your beloved puppet dump out from you?

Antifa region and overall control of remaining estates is under control of Vippertooth33 of The MT Army. Further inquiries can be directed to him, thank you.

I am not going to get into a debate about hypocrisy with you in a neutral thread. The fact they claim they fight against "imperialism", yet maintain an empire of over four hundred regions, should say it all. I await Misely.

@Jean. Sounds good for me. :)

Noting only that fighting against that same hypocrisy made me a purist raider (only possible stance for gameplayer to avoid hypocrisy). I can crash now everything without prejudices, hobby NS fully and be happy when doing so. Meanwhile I can help in trying keep pure gameplaying organisation clean, pure and healthy from impure elements. Win-win for all! :)

The day there are 6-8 competent defender chasers is the day I become interested in fighting TBR for the tags again.

It'll become fun for us once we know that the two of us do not have to go kamikaze into every region when we see taggers jump. (Even if it's a 22s jump, we'd still lose) Probably will be more fun for y'all as well. :P

Raiders exist to raid, and to be defended against. Right now that second part isn't happening, so yeah, it will be.

Crazy Idea- Defenders take as many unoccupied delegate seats as they can every night, and use powers there to eject any incoming taggers, by sitting in each in order or update until update occurs, in the hopes it will be hit.

With only 1000 or so taggable targets out there, and significantly less without delegates, you're bound to have one or two that get hit now and then - which is a better potential defense rate than zero!

Wouldn't work against your instant jumps or native delegates.
