We didn't get the reputation we have by crapping in the right sandboxes, Todd.

So regions which are founded by active retired raiders are now fair game?

Contact the chief of Staff if you have concerns. If we're at the point of applying raider principles, let's not raise the issue in the drama forum.
We're not omniscient, you can't expect to have your region not raided if you keep the delegacy executive, and don't give any indication that the region belongs to a raider.

I figured an active founder was enough... apparently that's not the case anymore.

And I'm not contacting anyone. This wasn't my mistake.

[Aurum Rider]

And I'm not contacting anyone. This wasn't my mistake.

We're forced to hit active founder regions very often. Do not delude yourself in thinking that all of TBR knows who you are, who all your puppets, are, and what regions they run. If there's nothing that distinguishes it as a region that we should not touch, then we'll raid it whether the founder is active or not.

TL;DR If you don't put the minimal effort in, don't expect us to. See:

So TBR doesn't give two shits about prominent raiders if they've never heard of em before. Good to know.

*Raider Unity, huzzah huzzah and all that bullshit*

[Coraxion]

...Actually, I am always amazed when "Raiders" come to this thread cry about happenings in their beloved puppet dumps. Equally, I never get tired repeating same lines again and again.

Quick Instructions:

1. Keep founders alive
2. Make Delegate access barred (and Lock your "Raider" dumps)
3. If special reasons keep WAD executive exist, Please contact The Black Riders' General Staff
4. Try to maintain at least some level of Purity, before calling yourself as a Raider

A slight twist on my words. Not all TBR raiders know if people are "prominent" given that they are either new, or work exclusively with TBR, and thus do not meet prominent raiders, or hear about them.
And as was said before, you cannot expect us to know if a region is run by a raider if there is no indication.

I'ts not a puppet dump though...

It's true that not every rider is going to know prominent players, but the general attidutde towards Todd was very condescending, despite his reputation as a rather famous raider.

Nothing is holy to TBR

Poland is not a puppet dump.

Delegates there want access to the controls so they can boot troublemakers, request / deny embassies, and clean out commie spam. And frankly, if "raider purity" was what it was back when I raided, the "raider purists" wouldn't have invaded a region with an active founder who has said on several occasions (and who some in and around the raid knew) that the founding nation belonged to a former raider.

I'm not going to let this turn into an argument that lasts pages. Bottom line here is I get the concept, yay raiding, but I don't like how I had to clean up a region that helped me go raider from a group of individuals I once identified with and frankly still give a hoot about. And I'm still cleaning up that RMB. It makes it worse when I'm more or less told that this was somehow my fault, cause it isn't.

Just don't do it again.

[Coraxion]

@Todd: You seemingly take it personally. Sad. That kind behavior is usually best way for recognizing 'a Native'.

If Region can be raided it is automatically considered as a target by Cimmeria. However, that approach is not entirely supported by The Black Riders military Doctrine.

A Responsibility of happenings remain always within the Nativedom, not within the Raiderdom.

This is why a simple telegram to the Staff would have solved everything, instead of starting a forum arguement. We have a blacklist and your region will be added to it. I hope that will end the discussion.

Who says raiders are heartless?

[Crossbones Sally]

You guys, raid regions with delegates so I can have fun too!

That's a different way of saying 'We're really sorry we defaced a region founded by a prominent former raider who in part maintained and perpetuated the raiding ideal', but oh well. Life goes on.
