Tags aren't designed to keep a Delegate in power.

Whatever their flaws, you can't credibly accuse The Black Riders of failing to keep a Delegate in power when they want to do so. They've had an exceptional year in that regard. Have defenders liberated a single TBR occupation in 2014? How many refounds have they accomplished this year?

While he totally has the right to post in Gameplay, I think he's been out of the WA forums for far too long...

I'd like to avoid a certain t word, but that post is unproductive at the least.

On Expanded Schemes

Trying rant it once again with blunt Corish with easily recognizable Cimmerian accent. As every GamePlayer of NationStates very well know already, a R/D gameplay (military gameplay) is concentrated around question who controls Post of Executive World Assembly Delegate in a Region. However, there are still existent widely spread false conceptual dichotomy between so called tag raiding and longer term occupations ('Real raids').

Such Dichotomy is inexistent as if succesful raid intented to be 'tag raid', no matter by whom and what for will be continued further we get an occupation. We cannot ever make any kind occupations or real raids without first seizing the delegate position, and this possibility is always set and limited by the game rules concerning Delegate elections. TBR's tag raiding practice is in this sense simulation of our capability start new potential occupations/'real raids'. However, tag raiding concept has been usually performed using limited numerical forces, which immediately limit also possible targets for raids and thus also that what are generally considered 'Occupationworthy'. Moving The grand army and requesting allies is not wise if we tag 3 non-wa nation native puppet dumps for practice and conquering bigger area on the 'tagfields' (All Existing regions in NationStates Currently).

But situation changes immediately when TBR and The Raider Unity get enough updaters online, same time and continuously. For example there are 5 different raider occupations around:

WAD with 8 Endorsements
WAD with 5 Endorsements
WAD with 12 Endorsements
WAD with 20 Endorsements and
WAD with 3 Endorsements.

If TBR and allies tag raid and same time reinforce these Raider occupations with for example 10 updaters ,we will get:
X number of new tags and 5 raider occupations:

WAD with 18 endorsements
WAD with 15 Endorsements
WAD with 22 Endorsements
WAD with 30 Endorsements
WAD with 13 Endorsements

It is easy expand numbers of Occupations and Raider Updaters little bit more and see possibilities of 'expanded schemes'.

Note that there are not necessarily required to be 'permanent' occupation and raider WAD with at least 1 Endorsement in a region, and still sufficiently organised 'tag raid' team can effectively keep an occupation in the region going on by continuously electing new WAD during many consecutive updates. In this case updaters, pointman and any of their puppets doesn't have to be same all the time, but if they are (particularly Pointman), we have effectually a 'real raid'/Occupation.

I can't personally understand what is so hard to understand in these schemes.

That's easy. Just do 3 or 4 raids a week and you've already gotten upwards of 120 tags.

If you raid at each update, getting an average of 560 tags a week, in 4 months and 13 days, you can achieve your goal. So, its plausible to say you could double your goal for the year, Bendicion. I expect you to be at every update.

by **Larthinia** » Wed Sep 10, 2014 11:34 am

Gosh, somebody has to stop this destroying spree...They are literally tearing apart like 150 regions a day,

by **Coraxion** » Wed Sep 10, 2014 11:37 am

Chief. When I get my daily work done for this year in end of October, I can be in theory some 370 consecutive updates online for to uses of The Raider Unity and War against Defenders. Then I also start real triggering training for myself.

By Default there will be at least one TBR Raid Leader online every single update then until to May 2015. Crash'm'All! Huzzah!

Troops 'retag' an occupation 360 updates in row and we have occupation like Anarchy was.

Retags Counts and Particularly so during these turbulent times when Fendas doesn't bother detag anymore.

FRA (Founderless Regions Alliance) is alliance for those who were too lazy and incompentent and lacked minimum amount of skills and determination to keep their Founders alive, thus useless and doomed to be failure from their very basic founding principles.

Defenders seek morals of their actions from inactivity and laziness of whom they should defend due their lack of determination and dedication to the projects they started, with lack of vision what for and usually covered overwhelmingly with all indications of lack of any purpose to exist at all.

Raiders say: "Thanks!" and continue raiding regardless of what enemy does.

Without practical action for any aims there are no Justifications for the ends in the R/D gameplay in NationStates.

by **Feuer Ritter** » Wed Sep 10, 2014 10:58 pm

Retags are unintentional, they happen because og the fast pace of the raid when the raid leader doesn't bother to look at the target region. But technically it's stll a hit.

I remember that time my old region got invaded twice by silly black riders. (Who mind you are not an actual Calvary, more like a blundering mob of peasants overpowering real power players with pure numbers)

They failed horribly considering that I myself was the regional founder, too bad the moderation removed my old region and country because they had a hardon for my ability to subtly take over a rival region by being handed over the regional account's password in a act of "Good faith" between me and him. I watched his region fall into chaos, too bad the moderation likes to ruin year old accounts for the owner being...Better than the blackriders.

Real "power players"? Please define that. Secondly, they don't care if you're a founder or not, if they tagged your region that's a success and a failure for you as a founder.
