can a gameplayer give me an actual answer?


Though I will say: yeah the liberation was needed, the region being held by nazis is better than the region being held by Cormac and his ilk.

Woah, 2 random nations flying a TBR flag. Your accusatory tone and words twisting is quite disgusting indeed. It seems like Defenders keep resorting to ugly methods to tarnish others reputation. Your question is not, Are you working with nazis? But, Why are you working with Nazis?
So you assume we do:
1: Do you have any proof that they are not just random people using a TBR flag?
2: Do you have any proof that TBR gave an order to support the invasion of christmas?

If not, your statement is baseless, and Shame on you for implying it!

Yea...That's pretty extreme, Mahaj.
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.

1. I don't know. I've not seen them raid with TBR before though.
2. I haven't seen such order.

Hm...

I noticed one of the nations came from The Smoking Section, but its possible it was just a false flag operation.

Alright, apologies.

Alright, apologies.

One of them is brand new, and the other spent the majority of its time in a series of fascist regions before hopping through a TBR held region. Can't say that it isn't a member of TBR, but it doesn't make much sense if it is since they're deployed elsewhere and there is no WFE credit. Submit a GHR if your flag is being abused guys, mods can take it down.

Stay classy Mahaj.

Friday 22nd November, Major Update

Image

Two proactive newcomer Raiders, Corporal Coraxion and PFC Parkanos, organized by themselves a Violent Cavalry Reconnaissance Mission for Self-Educating purposes, when there were no more Competent Field Commanders available to lead our Daily Raid. Our daring mission started from the Mountains of Cimmeria with few targets provided by Captain Bob Moran. After the first hit, we found one particular Special Grand Mufti on our Tracks. Manouvering quite blindly without any maps thought the jungle of more and more Random Update Time, we managed make further hits by searching for them manually from NS-list of 'Founderless' -tagged regions and from old Skype Raid Convos. Especially PFC Parkanos' efforts and luck must be mentioned. We participated in the occupation at Islamic Revolution of Iran during our Recon mission. The worst amateur mistake happened at Flying Spaghetti Monster Islands when Coraxion forgot to endorse the pointman. We lost one hit after waiting several minutes in a target region, only because of that mistake. We ended our ride at Spanish Protectorate of Morocco to retag, where we added PFC Parkanos to the WFE.

Special Mufti managed intercept us in one region, but we managed make evasive action back to Smokey from the other region with a WA-native.

Funny experience with lot of lessons for future Raiding efforts. This was first Raid led and triggered by Corporal Coraxion.

During the Raid we managed to burn down 6 huts:

New Pangea
Weimarer Republik
Union of Social renagades
Austria
Asgaard
Spanish Protectorate of Morocco (Retag)
