Attention Denizens of NationStates!

Postby Nephmir » Mon Dec 30, 2013 3:44 pm

Attention Denizens of NationStates.

I have returned to your world. I must admit, I had not forseen the disasterous, corrupt wasteland it has become, but no matter.

I am here to help restore it to its former glory. Based on what I've been reading, it seems that Raiding and Defending has arisen. This concept, although an old one, is what has created this disaster. But, to destroy these ways, one must use them. Therefore, I will play your little game. I'm not sure which side amuses me more!

Let's start with raiding. As I see it, groups of nations attack regions to alter their appearance to suit their own needs, which is a display of power. This is weak. If you're going to attack the regions, at least have the guts to finish them off! Having a thousand embassies to tiny, helpless spammed regions is not a good symbol of power, only numbers and speed.

Defenders. High and mighty, moral defenders. So good, running around and saving regions from dying. In fact, they're so good, that they even have to save the ones that are already dead! You are wasting your efforts. If a region "ceases to exist" because the founder died first, then you are saving a region that should be tossed aside as insignificant and useless. Now, if it has or had an active community, on the other hand, then that is respectable. Nothing wrong with protecting regions, so long as they aren't already dead or never lived.

Think of it this way, if you will. Raiders attack the regions, and then Defenders go to clean it up. This ultimate battle between Raiders and Janitors just isn't going to work. In order to restore NS, the following must be done:

I. The balance must be restored.
II. The balance must be removed.
III. War.

First, Raiders must be pushed back. This will restore the balance.
Next, the balance must be taken away, turning all sides into a free for all.
Finally, war. War is inevitable. It must happen, and must be complete annihilation. Regions will fall, some from foreign militaries, others from political distress and paranoia.

Right now, Invaders are fighting a winning battle, and will soon win the war. Once this happens, all of NationStates is lost to the false illusion that Defenders will rise again.

Defenders cannot rise again. Why? Because they aren't united. They never were, and never will be. Each believes they are better than the rest, and is corrupt by their own morals and position of power. Very few out there pose as an exception.

This is why I return, although this time, instead of being just a military commander, I will be a founder of a new region, The Eternal Knights. This region is designed to be efficient on little numbers. It will have only 13 nations. No more or less. We will actively engage in combat and stealth missions. The divisions are as follows:

I. King (x1)
II. Bishop (x1)
III. Lords (x2)
IV. Knights (x9)

Each nation will have its own role, but all will participate in combat. I will personally give each one one-on-one training in all areas of combat. Inactive nations will be kicked and replaced until we are filled with 13 active nations, upon which the region will be password protected and secured.

The king cannot be removed from power, and is the founder and military commander.

The Bishop is the one that makes the special operations possible.

The Lords are second in command. They each lead 2 knights into battle at updates. The king gets 5 (for targeting higher powered regions).

The fearless and loyal knights are the ones that make the updates possible. They are the true warriors and the noblest cavalry of NationStates.

All nations will be put on our Factbook Entry, so that they may proudly announce their title. Once the region has 13 active nations, and is running efficiently, another region will be created, open to all who wish to become knights.

I have layed out the plan, as follows:

I. This disease affecting all the regions has a known origin, as previously stated. It also has a known carrier. It likes to cling onto black horses; namely, those of The Black Riders. They will be the first domino. They will most certaintly not be the first or last region to fall.
II. Feeders and Sinkers are completely filled with the disease; they must be united and then cleansed. The Rejected Realms will collect them all, and then they will be cleansed.
III. The UDL and 10000 Islands must be eliminated. They produce the disease rapidly. The FRA will be spared, but cleansed.
IV. Finally, the clean up and repairs. Any remaining founderless regions below a population of 50 will be destroyed permanently, all remaining Raiders will be neutralized, and the Defenders will be cleansed and set free to do their jobs, and help the remaining regions and fight back any Raiders that try to emerge. The Eternal Knights will then withdraw into the home region, to begin cleansing the World Assembly.

This is the plan that will be carried out to the end. The Eternal Knights are deathless, and will always return even when defeated, for nobody may hold back the power within those that seek justice, liberty, and the truth.

And that is what we will do. Anyone who wants in, telegram me, and I will let you in. There are only 12 slots, so first come first serve. It is time to take this to the final level, and purge the entirety of the realm of NationStates...and beyond!

The time for diplomacy is over. Now, we must act. For those that must know, here is our foreign policy:

I. Start with peaceful tactics.
II. No success=military tactics.

So first, we will try peace. I believe the fear alone will help others avoid military conflict.

Perhaps. But that does not mean we are not serious; laugh now, mortal, while you still can. :lol2:

To answer some frequently asked questions: I am aware that The Black Riders have no executive delegate position. To fight them, you must first strike where they are weak.

Psychological warfare is the most powerful warfare there is. Do not doubt it, for the doubt is a reflection of the very methods you must use!

This was very funny and I liked the chess piece mechanics, although I am quite upset that you forgot about the Queen. She's a magnificent lady and needs a role in this scheme. Unless she's a secret piece in the game?

Since I don't exactly follow all the background story, why do feeders need to be cleansed?

For example, the lovely region of the South Pacific is pure and exalted in its independence from and of all the shenanigans and unrequited love stories between the Capulets and Montagues. Er... I think they call themselves Raiders and Defenders now.

""Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

~ Emma Lazarus

The Feeders and Sinkers have adopted the corrupt customs and methods of the modern day gameplay. They are spreading the disease to the new arrivals, who leave to all the other regions. I cannot reveal the cleansing method, as it would reveal too much do soon. I have made my standing with just enough detail to get people interested. After that, only The Eternal Knights know what is to happen.

You only mention the historically acknowledged "Big Three" of the current Defending Era. I'm Militarily Aligned to a different one, so what you do is of no concern to me as long as you actually Defend instead of pulling a Unibot and going on petty little campaigns across all the regions preaching your thing.

You have a great theory but your military strategy is complete BS. Raiders and defenders have one thing right. Numbers. You need people thirteen will acheieve nothimg but annoyance in a region of 400 like the black riders.
