Welcome to the Sheephood

I knew Kaz would end up there eventually.

I feel so woolly

by **Cora II** » Mon Oct 26, 2015 1:22 am

I love that softness too, particularly when I feel it in updating tagfields. Its proved difficult always determine what specific breed is represented out there, so I hope that active battlesheep-breed-wannabes come here say 'baaa', if they ever want confirm and boast their efforts to engage into a membership of the esteemed sheephood.

Generally you must be very woolly to be able to survive in harsh conditions of the upper steeps of the Northern Cimmerian passes.

Kazzy added to the Cimmerian HQ as an 'Enemy military attache'.

A pointman of a tag team of the Most Disciplined raider organisation who disappeared in a midst of an update

October 26th, Major Update

CROM! Shadow Raid by Raider Merc Cora II. Tactical reserve was formed for DEN's away team. Joy didn't last long as a newcomer ID: 'Arma' disappeared from online in his first blood, and the Raid leader Ridus had to terminate further raiding activities at 00:31 into the update. 83.333% (5/6) shadow raiding success was achieved by Cimmerian. At least 5 of the hits would've been possible intercept by defenders, but nobody represented them this time.

Hopefully tags will be done properly. Good job Ridus. o7

Shadow Raids:
Hu3s by Zotaviv
Eastern American Federation by Ravohuh
Trade port by Tigahim
Sanctum Imperium Romanum by Yutanay
Lexen Energy Inc by Nedyton

The Most feared and Classiest raider org.'s space invasion was also reinforced in The United Federation of Planets.

PS. Cora can recall distantly long forgotten age when raiders competed fiercely a blood in their mouths, who is fastest and privileged to take points. Cora was so slow that she had to steal points by skipping targets. Now she steals raids. If she can do that against DEN 'Sheet 108', defenders can also do successful interceptions against DEN tag teams. That's how it is. Internal critique in the raiderdom?

Never heard, never allowed.

[18:58:29] Cora: NS++ makes it easy and fast
[19:00:42] Cora: ...and collect more WA-skulls for the throne of Crom during the process
[19:02:43] Cora: 'Border Control' can be extended to mask over a whole concept of Tagfield.
[19:03:43] Cora: ...and folks still sit in their piles...
[19:05:10] Cora: No more dull updates alone online! CROM!

November 1st, Minor Update - Operation Chainsaw Diplomacy

CROM! An Organized team of interregional Cimmerian ambassadors bulldozed The Embassy. Almost 600 diplomatic relations were cut down along with hundreds of requests... for interregional goodwill, with force as usually. A light of burning embassies made southern horizon of Cimmeria bright like it would an endless summer day in a middle of darkness of Hyborian winter.

Few other diplomatic visits were also made as a weapon calibration purposes, and 3 Defender WA-Envoys were forcibly sent to TRR.

by **Vandoosa** » Sun Nov 01, 2015 12:52 pm

YAY! I get to be Lord of God for a day! also The Embassy had so many embassies.. I got to banject two defenders along the way though! Now i am sleepy..

Cimmerians testing a new winter warfare wardrobe

November 2nd, Major Update

CROM! Sleepy merc Cora II (t/s) teased first 30 minutes a team of 4 defenders on the Tagfields, that outnumbered her to a total inability to inflict anyway to their actions. Then sleepy, and drunken merc Vandoosa (p) arrived to the fields too at 36 minutes into the update. Together they started fast paced wardrobe tests with a slightly out dated chain mail bikini outfit, and defenders ceased their chase after few first catwalks.

Ah. Salvatagard. That one. Unremarkable puppet dump, which Founder didn't care enough for it. We did. We raided it for fun, and for expansion of our Sphere of Influence over The Taglands.

Feel free to migrate to Cimmeria, if you seek better place store a puppet.

It looks like Cimmeria's influence in Invaderdom is expanding.

Only way there can be any meaningful "unity" what comes to raiders. A bunch of raiders teaming together for a raid. I can't understand why the concept is so often taken metaforical, idealistical way, when its clear to everyone what real unity could achieve in practice if sermons for it would be taken seriously. :meh:

Haha, Dear Thomas. I try, I try, but point is try to make interesting plays, with decent efficiency, not fortify ego off-sites. :hug:
