The Black Riders - The Elite Cavalry of NationStates

[Venico]

You still can't stop any of us, and you surely can't stop all of us.

[Port blood]

Ignoring the smug defenders springing up to insult TBR,it's good that people are talking to resolve this
Unless a outright "haha we raided you" is used,it's probably a mistake,no reason to get the nukes
(except as fireworks fired at defender regions to celebrate raiding)

[Cormacville]

I appreciate TBR's attention to this matter and I consider the matter resolved.

[Mallorea and Riva]

See defenders? This is how issues are dealt with. Loud screaming yes, but follow it with actual discussion and a willingness from both sides to relax for a moment and boom. Progress.

Good to see you back Halc, just stop always hitting something you shouldn't during your runs

[Port blood]

Don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes

I find this hilarious.
The fast pace argument is not an excuse that has been refuted time and time again already, but you can't really excuse the fact that TBR has repeatedly bragged about taking their "allies'" regions; even after being condemned over and over again for it, they've had no qualms with noting another raider region that they "didn't intend to raid / didn't have time to check" on their list of conquests. It's because they don't care, even if they swear that there are behind-the-scenes, unexplained, efforts by the command to stop doing what they could easily do by paying attention, or, at the very least, choosing not to include "allied" conquests in their updates.

They continue to do it after all of this time because the humiliating inaction by other raiders in response to their raids, even in the aftermath of these intentional acts of disrespect, reminds them that they are the ones running the raider show and that the other raider organizations are dependent, to a certain extent, on their relationship with them. Other members of "raider unity" can't afford to isolate TBR from their network, and they are unable to take any sort of meaningful or powerful action against TBR.

TBR's insistence on broadcasting their takeovers of raider, imperialist, and independent territories/regions is actually quite a brilliant way to reaffirm dominance. I wonder if other raiders realize that they've been played or if they actually do realize it, and are just silently accepting the unfortunate circumstances of their lesser disposition.

I find you hilarious,do you see me posting about it"? oops i just did

Where exactly did they "brag" about it? did you ever see someone from TBR say "haha we raided <insert ally here>"? just a case of over effective bureaucracy with the lists

At least it's better then defenders that have to fill out all forms in threefold before moving,and then again before endorsing

Stick to your Mao RP. Your Iago is simply atrocious.

You know,I dislike having to add the not speaking for anyone thing to my sig >.>

[Nephmir]

Oh well. It's only a matter of time until people really start getting pissed at you. Then I'll be able to have my fun, finally. I'm getting quite bored waiting.

Yes, understood Mall. I am very sorry. Please acknowledge my rusty self. I often knock walls down by accident in real life. A dry stone wall, for example. My family sat to picnic, why a wall, God knows. Upon rising, I felt the impulse to push a component of the wall, and within some seconds, the rocks tumbled, and quickly an avalanche, bringing a whole stretch of the wall down. It simply vanished into the field. We laughed and walked on, not a care in the world.

So yes, I break things by accident, often. I try not to, but it's tricky. I need to fine tune my powers. Patience, please, and forgive me errors.

Halacones is the Koolaid man.
And they called me crazy when I told them.

No-one assumes you speak for anyone unless they're really, REALLY mad at TBR.

It might have had something to do with Gest's comments earlier? Maybe?

You could take the disclaimer out and no-one would mind, honest.

[Consular]

Good to see this was resolved without further incident.

People keep telling me that I don't speak for <insert thing here>,like in general,i just posted that post here because it happens the most with TBR

wait,the wall just vanished?

[RiderSyl]

I'm very happy that the whole issue was resolved. I'm sorry for my involvement in the whole mess.

[General Halcones]

wait,the wall just vanished?

Yes, a stretch of the wall vanished within seconds, leaving a massive gap. Again, we laughed and walked away, looked back, laughed again, and kept laughing.

[Lord Kevan Stark]

Wow look, an ITG

[Port blood]

Yes, a stretch of the wall vanished within seconds, leaving a massive gap. Again, we laughed and walked away, looked back, laughed again, and kept laughing.

O.o how did that happen

I suggest that you show the world your prowess by raiding the impenetrable fortress that is The New, I'll hold the door open for the innumerable legion of TBR.

a quick look at the first page of our thread had me notice this. The impenetrable fortress has fallen!!

*lame joke is lame*

[Communist Eraser]

"Xoria"

Clearly TBR's protest against Xoriet's upcoming marriage.

[Land filled with People]

> Just gets in trouble for tagging raider regions.

> Decides to ban five UIAF nations from four different tagged regions.

Nice

[Argo Rhos]

I just noticed you guys got Talos, well done. That's there just desserts for mocking me when I destroyed the last region. They claimed they'd rebuild better then ever, and I was a "half bit raider". Whose laughing now? Haha!
