The clothes of the broken map are worn only by fools and heretics. The map is an exit for laziness. It is the dusty tongue, which is to say the given chart that most take as a story that is complete. No word is true until it is eaten.

I was impressed at your command over poetic language for a second before I realized that it was copied from the Elder Scrolls.

Rude spirit, you should never have come. Not here. Not to the world of the liars, where your power is fleshed to law, bound by the bones of the compromise. Shallow changer, say you that you rule dusk and dawn? Let me show you the power of the true Dawn, when Gods walked.

Assistance in the Invasion of Singapore
30 July 2016


At the major update, Marshal T. E. Lawrence, Lieutenant DrunkenConquerors, Staff Sergeant FatFreddy, Sergeant Liddell Hart, Sergeant Malvacka, Corporal Fem Regioner, Corporal Yuno, and Private First Class Imudz participated in the invasion of Singapore by our friends from HYDRA Command, alongside the West Pacific, Europeia, Firehelm, and The Chaos Brigade. Twenty-six invaders swept into the port city to knock down the native delegate of thirteen endorsements. Defender response was sloppy as expected. On behalf of the entire raiding party, we'd like to thank the Wardens (Altmoras, Bodobol, Lamb Stone) and Vvardenfell (Funkadelia) for being vigilant enough to jump into the region after update, unlike their other five friends who didn't jump at all. But anyways... we contributed eight updaters. Eight!

Did you actually call HYDRA Command "neo-nazi themed"? They're themed after Marvel comics.

What this is really about is you being salty that raiders successfully raided a region that was seeking to join the Founderless Regions Alliance, and once again the FRA has utterly failed in its promise to deliver security to founderless regions.

Congratulations to last night's raiding party on a successful operation. It's always good to see raiders score yet another humiliating defeat against the FRA.

Your flag is literally the official emblem of the Nazis with a fascist fist edited in.

The raised fist could mean anything really, it's such a common gesture. Here is a pretty comprehensive article about it: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17739105

"The Nazi Party had used a very similar symbol for itself, called the Parteiadler ("Party's eagle"). These two insignia can be distinguished as the Reichsadler looks to its right shoulder whereas the Parteiadler looks to its left shoulder."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsadler#Modern_use

Fascists also use fist symbology, and so do white supremacists. Coupled with your pretty blatant adoption of Nazi emblems, your flag conveys obvious Nazism and white supremacy. There's no defending the use of Nazi symbolism. You're quite literally coopting the Nazi Party emblem as the flag of your group, which is a raiding group that wants to convey an image of power and intimidation.

I honestly don't know why raider groups throughout NS history have been so obsessed with Nazi imagery.

I think all invader or R/D groups should just switch to anime flags ♡
Stop giving misogynistic abusers a platform. Anyone who sides with Tiktok Star Andrew Tate even 1% of what he says will be treated as enemy who should be shamed out of society. Impressions+Views+Videowatches=$. Nothing he says is new or revolutionary. I don't care if he said "some good stuff", it's still bad because: the more you watch him, the more ad revenue MONEY and algorithm BOOSTS you're giving him to traffick victims. And don't say the victim lied, a young man stupidly told me that the victim confessed to lying, I told em to link me proof, articles or the Audio of her confession, he googled and found 0 proof 0 articles, and he realized he was spreading fake rumors he heard and BELIEVED without fact-check. Don't brand victims as liars without GOOGLING. Debated here

Agreed. Someone should start a pure anime raiding group.

Call ourselves the Weeaboo Warriors or the Anime Army. Maybe even Otaku Organization.

In my opinion, I agree with GR here. As such, I recalled Europeian forces from the operation in Singapore because Europeia has consistently been anti-Nazi throughout its history and while The Invader's may feel that their imagery is fine, it definitely evokes the essence of Nazism and is incompatible with Europeia's values.

Nazis and white supremacists coopted the red flag and the raised fist, so whatever? It's lack of inventiveness, at worst. :P

The Nazis also coopted the Swastika but it's not allowed on the site.
