As the current and long time Founder of Invaders Army, the last and primary region which Invaders operated from, I would like to state, for the record, that I do not at all endorse "The Invaders". I make this claim specifically in case a Predator-like event occurs and some Mods or Admins decide that all historical Invaders must die. No longer can anyone claim that I didn't speak up and are therefore somehow subject to punishment, even if I've never held any rank in Invaders when it was still alive.

On an off note, this trend of "reviving" dead Crasher groups and feeding off their legacy does not sit well with me. If someone who was actually involved with Invaders Army on a top leadership level revived the group, I'd have no problem with it. Someone like HotSSpot or Lorbenia, Pompey FC or Evil and All Bad Doing, hell even Comrade Groznia. But this? This is silly. Go make your own legacy.

As stated here, scripts will not be used and we will not associate ourselves with DoS players. DEN, unfortunately, inherited Halcones' fateful legacy. This is different. I fail to see how a Predator-esque event could occur.

If someone who was actually involved with Invaders Army on a top leadership level revived the group, I'd have no problem with it.

The leaders you've mentioned have been swamped by a dreaded thing known as 'real life'. As per this, you're free to inquire who I've corresponded with to receive authorization. I daresay several members of your command already know the whole story.

It's a clear case of impersonation and it should be reported. If mods act, it'll put the matter to bed, and if they don't, it's just more proof as to why they shouldn't be trusted.
EDIT: Haven spoken to Knot, it is apparent that I am in fact wrong.

Read. I'd be happy to share details with you, Avakael.

I couldn't agree more with these statements.

If you guys ever run out of former raider regions to ruin, I've got Bacon Strips up for grabs... not as illustrious as DEN or Invaders, but you'll take what you can get, right?

Please, please, please make this happen.

Hehehehehe. As apart of the generation that fought "tooth and nail" against the "notorious" Bacon Strips, I too endorse these sentiments. Hehehehe.

As for reviving "Invaders-" really? What's next, ADN IV? I dig the retro and everything, but perhaps you should try to come up with your own image.

[Cormactopia II]

To be fair, Ivo/Knot was more respectful to DEN's history than anyone would probably have ever thought anyone in DEN 2.0 (3.0? 4.0?) would be. As long as he keeps his nose clean and they stay true to their "no script" policy, this might be a revival that would make the old Invaders proud.

I think it's worth a wait and see approach. I can't imagine it's worth more than two pages of attacks, it just becomes beating a dead horse at that point.

But Cormac, what else are we going to do then if not attack controversial topics?

LIVES TO RAID - RAIDS TO LIVE!

MEGUMI! *clings to*

Since reviving ancient raider groups is a trend lately maybe you can bring back COTG. I'd raidsqueak under that banner with Megumi!

It would be really nice to do that. There are three of us original members left. Skype me.

Sorry DYP, apparently rebooting old raider groups is the cool thing now.

Sorry, DYP, were I to reboot the CotG franchise it would be exactly as it was when we set NS on fire. As I said, there are still three of us original senior staff members in the game and Qzzy comes and goes.

Assistance in the Invasion of Ireland
21 June 2016

At the major update, General Constantine Hesse, Major Lamb Stone, Corporal Malvacka, and Private Spartosa participated in the invasion of Ireland by The Kingdom of Great Britain. A total of nineteen units swept into the Irish countryside, toppling a delegate of eleven endorsements. Despite the recent hype of a comeback in the form of the Grey, defenders remained as ineffectual as before. The Marshal himself took to the battlefield and successfully caused First Warden Benevolent Thomas to scramble after a hastily-thrown flare while leaving Ireland open to onslaught. The cherry on top? In a fruitless attempt to defend the false target, the 2015 Defender of the Year endorsed a suspiciously fascist nation.

Private Spartosa, despite this operation being his first-ever raid, beat about half of the party into Ireland. Deservedly so, he has earned a promotion to Private First Class.

Nom de guerre: Spartosa
Former Rank: Private
Current Rank: Private First Class

Congratulations to Private First Class Spartosa!

Ego Sum Ideo Vici. Long live The Invaders!

[Lamb Stone]

Hail!

Good work guys and congrats to Spartosa! You did awesome, buddy.

• Scripts will not be utilized in any operation conducted by The Invaders.
  
• All Delete-on-Sight players will be avoided, ignored, and blacklisted.
  
• All soldiers will be held responsible and accountable for all independent script usage. Illegal script usage will result in a permanent ban from the Invaders and an immediate report to NationStates Moderation.

The restrictions are all well and good, Ivo, but I have a few questions:

In regards to the "no scripts" rule:

1. Given that manual triggering -- I assume -- would be in order, will you be doing any tagging? My understanding is that it is rather difficult to trigger manually for tags, given the fast-paced nature of it, and so the tag counts would not be as high as they previously were.

In regards to the "no DoS players" rule:

1. A number of people are in group chats with Coraxion, WraithFIN and Halcones, and others have them in their Skype contacts. Will you require them to be blocked and deleted from members' contacts lists? I mean, it should be said that putting restrictions over who can be spoken to may be intrusive, to say the least...
2. How will you enforce the "no DoS players" rule? Will you force members of the region to send screencaps of their contacts lists on Skype, or something?

EDIT NOTES: Formatting fucked up + poor wording from phone typing of original manuscript + quoting specific example.

We are so ineffectual that last time Ireland was invaded, we libbed it one update later.

It appears that was a one-time occurrence, aye?

[Luxdonia]

Congratulations on the successful raid!

[Numero Capitan]

Think you're going to have to put out more than three WAs in support of someone elses raid before you start trash talking the Wardens...

[Spartosa]

Hail!

Thanks dude - look forward to many more.

It's not their fault they have better talkers than movers
