The Black Riders - The Elite Cavalry of NationStates

[Suchasmallthing]

24th November, Major Update

Once again the riders ride forth and conquer a great many regions during this update. Some 21 regions were captured, and our occupation of Iran was also reinforced. For the occasion the riders wore exotic clothings, see the picture above. Defenders were once again absent, with the sole exception of a free lancer, too stubborn (caburut) to give up. Soon...every founderless region will be tagged!

Some good stops in the beginning, but I definitely should have kept you under 20 this time.

I think I started to do worse as the update went on, either that or you started getting more accurate.....

Also, you need to find more exotic clothing.

An ostrich plume and a coconut necklace would be a good start.

[Suchasmallthing]

I see a vague similarity with all the Mufti and other Ayatollas of this world. On the matter of accuracy..well it really depends how much time I have to look at the estimate...the more time, the less chances for you.

[Volanowsh]

First of all, let me start by saying that the NS forum is a wretched place that I hate walking into, however since there are important things to be announced, and this is the thread of my own region, I thought I can make an exception.

Second, in Feuer's OP post (dated Aug 31, 2013) the statistics are actually wrong. As TBR's keeper of records, I can verify that we have NOT conducted "712" successful raids since our raid on Charon in July 20th, 2011. This number is true (kinda, verified number is 711) on October 31, 2012. Obviously we have conducted so many other raids between October 31, 2012 and August 31 of this... 1092 successful raids to be exact (full details about of said raids -and other raids conducted by TBR throughout the years- can be found in the History section of our forum)

Theory: Feuer copied the number of "List of regions raided by The Black Riders" from the NS wiki... which has not been updated in over a year.

Now that this is out of the way....

[Volanowsh]

Since our region's inception in the winter of 2009, The Black Riders have always broken new grounds and records. Did we do it for glory? No, 'we ride for purpose, not for glory, for glory is meaningless' and our purpose has and always will be to raid.

However, we had our ups and downs; times when all you could see on our region is a massive pink wall of closing embassies, and nothing new established; times when we thought the spirit of raiding has died, and no hope is left for our region.... but we survived. We refused to die, and we came back to the living once and once more, and the Second Age began. We proved that not only we are a force to be reckoned with, but that we are without a doubt the most powerful raiding force in NationStates.

And we kept pushing the limits higher and higher. 1092 raids, as I mentioned earlier, in 10 months... many wouldn't dream about this many successful raids. Yet the The Black Riders have shown to dwarf even that number. 1180 raids, from the beginning of this October to this very hour. 1180 raids, in less than 2 months.

Just few days ago, we hit a never before seen record of 42 regions tagged... in one update. And today, I bring you news of yet another milestone.

At 05:28 (UTC) of the twenty-fourth of November, of the year 2013, our mighty forces with the blessings of our god Raideron, marched upon the realm of Universe9 and seized it from the helpless natives. The conquest was swift, and the baffled and hopeless defenders proved no match for the agility and precision of Captain Bob Moran (A.K.A: Suchasmallthing) and Corporal Cora (A.K.A: Coraxion)

And as Universe9 crumbled and fell like many regions before, it marked three thousand successful raids by the all-powerful Black Riders.

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! May our fearsome region be forevermore a bone-chilling horror to all natives.

[Feuer Ritter]

To bad we are soon runing out of regions to pillage and burn

[Cormac Sloane]

Congratulations on this milestone. Very impressive.

[Ravania Prima]

Soon...every founderless region will be tagged!

Dream on...
Most of these have more nations in them then the total of nations in the regions you tagged...

No, 'we ride for purpose, not for glory, for glory is meaningless' and our purpose has and always will be to raid.

Shallow. Sounds like... my purpose for eating is to eat.

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! May our fearsome region be forevermore a bone-chilling horror to all natives.

As I represent a great deal of the nations in your tagged regions let me assure you, we are there just to keep you busy so you don't get into any greater mischief?

[Feuer Ritter]

^ Defenders are always in defensive position, even when they try to defend their diminishing " reputation ". You can't win by defending.

[Frattastan II]

Defenders are always in defensive position.

Do you have Unibot on ignore or something?

Always

[Frattastan II]

Thought so.

[Coraxion]

Okey. That was just one Milestone (or smilestone). Let's push Further!

Sgt. Kaon a.k.a. Volanowsh. I personally appreciate Very High your Tireless Research work for Conserving and Saving The History of The Black Riders. Updates Comes and Goes, Occupations begin and end, but what is permanent trace of them, It requires Work. Your Work in these Fields of TBR Activity is Commendable, Honorable and Exemplary for it's High Quality Professionalism and Dedication beyond any reasonable Expectations. No more Ages of The Black Riders will be gone lost, if there are Sergeant Volanowsh with us.

*Cora Salutes*

[Someone Special]

Universe9 was one of the ones I should have stopped.

But then of course, you would have just seized another.

And so I say, congratulations on your milestone!

3,000 really is a lot.

[Red Skull Prime]

Aha! My existence is validated!

I'll probably never be able to hold a region from you for more than one update in a row, but it is good to be doing something.

And we don't have eight members. You could not have repelled that many.

Raideron has willed your destruction, and so it shall be done.
