[We Are Not the NSA]

I want a recommendation, doesn't have to be serious.

Anyone? Anyone?! ;-;

I'll nominate you if you nominate me...

Have room for a threesome?

[Harenhime]

I'm a little late to this thing, but RaiderCon looks pretty cool, surprised it hasn't been done sooner. I'd like to 2nd the nominations of Jakker and Evil Wolf, for reasons already provided in prior posts.

Also i'd like to unofficially nominate Ever-Wandering Souls, I don't have enough info to do a proper nomination for them, but they've always seemed to be a fairly classy raider, and I tend to hold that as the most important quality a real raider can have. Also pretty sure I saw them lead / oversee one of this years large raids, can't recall which or if i'm just mistaken.

Edit: It was the South Pacific! (If this is enough info, consider it an official nomination)

Make that two

Update on the raid will be posted here in a few hours, see the next issue of Hell's Bells for the full story!

-Souls

[Misley]

Nominations:
1. Coraxion:
- Has raided many updates (2/day usually)
-never lets anyone down with raiding, even raids when sick, drunk or computer tries to f*** around.
-Has invented multiple new systems to do while tag raiding.
-Always great ideas as raider.
-Happy mostly of the time

Seconding this, with the addition of his contributions to Antifa as the founder of Syndicated Red Black Tendencies and Admiral (Retired) of The Red Fleet.

[Of crazed]

I have a feeling that I will be involved in one form or another.
There were Raiders back in 2004 that most of the forum players have never heard of such as Winky Woo and Mississippi Rio.
We shall see how this plays out.

We remember Mississippi Rio, but I guess us in IDF aren't most forum players

[Khanuvar]

I nominate Ever Wandering Souls. He represents the face of the new NS generation, a true raiding visionary and perhaps the best raider NS will ever see again. Clever of mind but, humble and kind to all a pure raider.

My other nom goes to Koth II. Koth is one of the finest raiders we've seen.

I'll second a nomination for Wraithfin. A damn good rider, and hard ass. I would ride with him any day of the week.

EWS has already been nominated so that would a second.

Actually, it is a third.

OH well.

[Aurum Rider]

He may be a defender now, but I'll be damned if I don't nominate Syl.
He's easily one of the friendliest R/D players you'll ever meet.
He soldiered through updates with us when he was fighting cancer, and wasn't late to a jump once.
He was responsible for hitting 70some regions, breaking the at the time record, despite only having a 50 minutes update
He was present for every occupation preformed by TBR for the year of 2014
And he's an awesome friend

THE BLACK RIDERS RECLAIMED

Region to serve as Gameside base of Operation and chat area for RaiderCon



As many of you now know, Harenhime is not who he seemed to be. This illusive figure was, in reality, a Raider plant the entire time. But this task could not have been completed alone....



Months ago, The Black Riders fell to a force of Natives, who began to build a new world there. Little did they know, The Raiders have many eyes, and many ears - many of which were placed inside. Seizing chances as they came, a network of 13 insiders utilizing over two dozen identities developed within the region.



With much work, extensive planning, and impeccable timing, the group managed to make Harenhime delegate for life by rigging the constitutional vote, then eventually seize all ministerial positions via further rigging of votes and careful politicking.



When the day came to strike, the massed fleets of Albion, The Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army, and Sanctum moved in directly after minor update, backed by sabotage inside the region from the infiltrating commandos of The Black Hawks, The Brotherhood of Malice, Unknown, and DEN, along with several freelancers. Soon after, further reinforcements from Lone Wolves United, The New Inquisition, and Funen arrived along with yet more freelancers.

We invite any and all other members of NS to join the party, come to TBR, endorse Harenhime, chat on the RMB, and register for RaiderCon - for which the TBR RMB will serve as a gameside socialization hub.

Let it be remembered, Raiders are not a force to me mocked - certainly not by building a defending democracy on a former home to many of our ilk.

Huzzah!

Keep your eyes out for the upcoming issue of Hell's Bells, featuring an exclusive interview with yours truly, concerning in part this very operation.

[RiderSyl]

@Aurum

Well done.

[Corvus Corax]

Magnificent! Excellent! Awesome!

And now? What next? One over long defensive pile for what exactly?

Raiders should raid, not gather to hedgehog defense around the already rotten carcass of horse.

- Cora -
Emeritus secretary of TBR
~9000 TBR raids participated

[6/26/2015 10:57:01 PM] Cora: Why pilers pour in then?
[6/26/2015 10:57:23 PM] Cora: Who gave such order?
[6/26/2015 11:00:09 PM] Cora: At this point, job is done already. Great! Truly beyond any doubts. After this only waste of resources.
[6/26/2015 11:01:15 PM] Cora: Raiders should move to offensive, and stay in offense.
[6/26/2015 11:23:40 PM] EW Souls - TBH: It's not like the 30 odd folks from Albion or my 45 native endos are going to go out updating if they're not on me, cora
[6/26/2015 11:23:53 PM] EW Souls - TBH: I'm the only loss, the only one locked in
[6/26/2015 11:24:16 PM] EW Souls - TBH: Everyone else is free to leave for update and go run around elsewhere.
[6/26/2015 11:25:28 PM] EW Souls - TBH: How can it be a waste of resources if everyone there is free to move around for update if they wish?

[Cormac Stark]

Cora, are you not the one who has constantly argued that it's easy for tag raiders to reinforce holds during the course of update?

[RiderSyl]

Epic operation, guys.

[Canton Empire]

Epic operation, guys.

It was beautifully exucuted

[Shadoke]

... And this is why Souls is the Raider of the Year.

[Cora II]

[6/26/2015 11:25:28 PM] EW Souls - TBH: How can it be a waste of resources if everyone there is free to move around for update if they wish?

Make them move around and free then. o7

... And this is why Souls is the Raider of the Year.

Agreed. After this... but only if raiderdom decides end being defenders. The act itself was the demonstration of power, and the symbol the End of the TBR's second era. After this it can easily transform to the strategic level loss of initiative. Moving to defense is something I cannot subscribe.

"
Why you dear EWS? Why you must be that tied one!? For raider of your caliber there could be something else to do, then point defense in a native dump-
[6/27/2015 6:31:16 AM] EW Souls - TBH: Becuase I don't particularly like tagging, but I find much pleasure in spending weeks or months infiltrating a region, followed by a period of time being overlord of it .P
[6/27/2015 6:32:25 AM] Cora: Good job. Exemplary.
[6/27/2015 6:32:34 AM] Cora: ...and?"

[Harenhime]

Cora, I'm not working three months to tag a region and leave - I'm damn well going to stick around a while I enjoy infiltration and ocassionally reigning as delagate- if that makes me less of a raider in your eyes, I'm sorry.

Add: Translated to form of Daily order:

Reinforce TBR defense always you can. Endorse only delegate. Switch your WA-puppet after every update if you're raider piler. Vote against SC liberations.

Pile, pile, pile for your regionalist 'home sick', neglect your possibilities as raider updater, and defend the most notorious region ever in NS, using your 'main nation' for that.

lol No way!

(Deleted message)

[1:12:24 AM | Edited 1:14:04 AM] Cora: No fucking argument can change the fact it is defence...
[1:12:41 AM] Cora: That sucks.
[1:13:52 AM] Cora: otherwise it is one of best R/D Operation ever made.

It's been always active-agressive, Dear Syl

"Regionalist home sick"? Almost all of the people piling for this operation aren't even originally from TBR, and the purpose of the op is to use an old invader stronghold as the base for a Raider Convention involving all forms of R/D. Not regionalist. Not 'homesick'. Get your facts straight.

"Neglect your possibilities as raider updater"? The possibility of going out and tagging 20 regions with inactive founders, dead communities, etc? The people that 'neglect' those 'possibilities' are doing that because they don't want to tag. How's that so fuckin' hard to understand?

"defend the most notorious region ever in NS" - They took control of the region via the delegacy. The only thing they'd be "defending" it from is a liberation. My golly, that almost sounds like... an occupation! That's because it is, Cora. You've been in enough of them in TBR and DEN. You know what they are. Stop bullshitting.

I swear, you do this kind of "Play the game my way!" shit constantly, most of the time not making a bit of sense while you do it, and it's why DEN sees raiders as skilled as Aurum taking up residence in Albion. You drive people away with it. The only reasons you're still accepted in raiderdom are your 'ludicrous dedication' as Koth once put it, and the fact you're not a horrible person off-site.

Just to clarify for everyone, I only took place in this op because I thought it was hilarious and I enjoy infiltrating. I'm perfectly happy in DEN.

Glad to see the Vikings taking part in some of the action.
