DEN NEWS | Operation Blitz: Atlantis Invaded!

[Cormac Stark]

Well raiders have been "incessantly trolling the entire game" for 10+ years and the admins actually came around in 2006 to abolish the griefing rules to our benefit, I might add.

That moment when a raider admits they're incessantly trolling and concedes that admins have rewarded their trolling for years.

That moment when sarcasm is ignored.

Let me feed out the line I'm sure you all love - If you feel action taken by a player are trolling, file a GHR with the relevant information.

Let me feed out the equally loved line - no one wants to go back to the pre-influence days of judgement calls, percent ejections, and similar horrors. Raiding cannot be entirely effectively distinguished from coups by natives with outside help in any list of rules.

"The combined might of DEN and The Black Hawks" = five guys and one [violet]. Really not that impressive but about what we've come to expect from DEN, so congratulations for being true to yourselves, I guess?

Someone's not having a good day. I know! Go to technical and complain. Oh wait that's not working out so good for you guys today. Oh well keep whining I'm sure if you nag the admins to death they'll totally come around.

Funny. I've learned not to expect any favors or mercy from Gest when he is in Command... but it was damn clear (YES! It was, I know for sure) if there would have been defenders active on the fields today, raiders' overall results of the update would be probably totally different then they are now. Defenders, - or Regional officers btw. -, had no part what so ever to what happened out there.

Rarely you can see bigger contrast and disparity between game-side and forum-side defender activity then today. CROM!

I wouldn't mind. Just saying.

Cormac, we get it, Defenders are the purest of pure innocent small and helpless children who can't stand up to those mean ol' privileged lazy raider doo-doo heads because first Admins took away your M16s and gave Raiders RPGs because there's this conspiracy against ever defender.

(Oh, and Mall is secretly [V] now)

That straw man would make a great Halloween decoration if you wouldn't mind letting me borrow it when you're finished.

I think Cormac missed the sarcastic quotes, I also did upon first reading.

So DEN has decided to be California gurlz now? *chuckle, chuckle*

On a side note, it would have been far funnier if your point would have been Snoop Dog. Just saying...

DEN, defeating defenders and neutralizing natives since 2004

We can conveniently ignore the massive period of nothingness in the middle I guess. And the fact that old DEN and the current TBR rebranding are not the same thing in anything other than name.

They've both had founders made DoS

Silly New DEN, they're just trying to make TBH's previous Oldest Active Raiders in NS claim troublesome

To be fair, most incarnations of DEN have had very little continuity with previous incarnations. For example, the 2012 incarnation was led by raiders who had defected from the UDL (Rawr, Mall). It had some people around who had been in the previous incarnation of DEN, but so does current DEN.

Cimmerian Crom-10KR-Corvus Corax class raider interceptor somewhere in the Tagland Sector's DEN system space

Standard Patrol.

A lonely Merc defended the DEN full scale planetary invasion at California, before starting track and follow intimately a defender de-tagger task force interfering borders of a vast debris concentrations of DEN tagfields. The merc managed intercept hostile tresspassing thrice by supporting unknown, native WA-lifeforms in next DEN systems:

SPACE
The Forgotten Vale
The Third Dominion (block)

A Red Star Fleet's strategic level siege around a moon nazi base of The Greater German Reich was reinforced before returning to the vicinity of DEN main battle formations.

Just for clarification: is this the California that was founded by a member of the original DEN and later became a base of operations for the Marijuana Militia? Because it kind of looks like that region...

If you're just now noticing that the artists formerly known as The Black Riders couldn't care less about raider unity, even when said unity should be applied to the raiders who once bore their current region's name, you really need to visit Gameplay more often. People have been criticizing TBRDEN for not respecting raider unity for two years or so. They don't care because they aren't raiders, they're gnats.

It's possible. Americans are trying to ignore those eight years between Clinton and Obama where a three year old was running the country.

I knew there was something about that region which rang bells, cheers Bruce.

I dunno, you tell me NS historian. Regale me with tales of the raiders of yore who rode into battle on AOl mammoths.

“Whatever, history. You happened already. Let it go!”-You're the Worst

PS: No one in raiding has complained about California, so no reason not to occupy it.

[Cora II]

It's surely legit Gest. In-game and real life localities shakes hands there, while 50+ (currently) WA-nations (read: Players) are decided to support The Field Marshal's drive for sweet, secure neighborhoods.

[Bounty Bertie]

Maybe because the raider(s) who founded it have had their region and history misappropriated by a group of wannabe TBR 'raiders' who feel the need to piggyback on a decade old organisation's reputation and effort.

I mean, there's been a lot of DEN reboots, but at least they had respect for their forebears, and historical raiders in general.

You can change your skins, but you'll always be TBR, and it shows.

Surely members of the old DEN in Ile de France know better than to support the occupation then.

I was never TBR and I'll never be TBR.

[The Highlander 1]

I mean, there's been a lot of DEN reboots, but at least they had respect for their forebears, and historical raiders in general.

You guys are funny. One of the reasons there were multiple DEN reboots was due to the in-fighting of Egos. Like every other organisation, DEN had its challenges. Fenda's sounds more like Donald the Chump than anyone else in the game. They cry about Raider unity but have no unity of their own. Rather than speak to their own challenges they attack Raider "unity".

Quote me: There is no Raider Unity! On occasion Raiders align for a period of time but inevitably differences of opinion arise which fragment agreements. What TBR has done is resurrect the essence of DEN. They were able to do this because of the powerful memory of the impact DEN had in its prime. But don't fool yourself; DEN imploded from within with little respect for their forebears. And yet still some members carried on to this day. So ignore the Fenda tripe and Carry On.
