Personchan wrote:If I recall correctly, Tim, no one on the raiding side is complaining, only the defenders are. No one I raided with has said that I wasted their time. I told Scieca, Sygian, and Servus that it would be a small tag raid. They all decided to "tag" along anyways. In short, the only person being negative towards this raid in any way is you and funkadelia, and I can't say I'm very surprised in either case, seeing as you're both defenders. There was not a lack of ambition on my part or their part: I wanted to do something that was fun, not strenuous on either me or them after the miss two nights ago. In the future, I'll be sure to do more tags to appease your definition of ambition. Basically, I did this for fun, not to support a quota or to appease defenders' definitions of success. That's the only reason I do raiding: for fun.

I mean, obviously they wouldn't. There's enough fracturing without raiders publicly complaining about each other's tag runs. That's cool that they had fun then, I'm happy for that. I mean, I don't know why I'm complaining, honestly, the less you all do the less we have to bother with. I just can't see the fun in staying up for a 90 minute long update just to make two jumps, but if you guys can find fun in it then good stuff. Ultimately, if you're having fun, then all the better to you. However, do remember we're in Gameplay. If you're gonna post a post with yet another oversized image (y'all really need to pick smaller ones) about two hits, you should expect to get some sarcastic remarks about it.

Don't get me wrong, I love stirring shit up, but this was literally just me trying to figure out why you guys weren't doing more, didn't want to do more, etc

Well, that got removed quick due to who posted it, but I'll agree that it's not about the organization or the flag, it's about heart.

In the same way, it's not really about alignment. It's about player opinion.

The way I see it Tim, is that they're just one region over a hold operation. I'm old school biased, so to me the less tags the better. End of the day, they went out and raided. For us that's all that matters. I'd love to say we, raiders, could care less your opinion on this event but that's not the case today I guess.

Seriously, though a raids a raid m8.

Meh, forgive me for bluntness. It's been a long week. That being said, it seems a bit odd that you're being so petty for someone who isn't stirring up the cauldron, Tim.

I just wanted to clarify that, despite their roles in the government of Osiris, neither Tim nor Syl are speaking for Osiris and neither are representative of either official or unofficial Osiran opinion. They are speaking in their capacity as defenders with the Grey Wardens.

Congratulations to Firehelm for two raids that neither Tim, nor Syl, nor any other defender stopped.

Yeah, imo every raid should get a report, as long as they're fun. Keep at it. :)

I never gave anybody hell. I just gave them the truth and they thought it was hell.

I want to thank those who are being so supportive for doing so. As long as I have a say in it, Firehelm will continue to improve and march on to victory, even if it is two regions at a time. I, for one, am glad to see so much support among allies. Never before in raiding history have we had the opportunity to do so much and to advance raider unity. I hope that all raiders will seize this opportunity to become the best they can possibly be. It is an honor to be an active member of the community at such a zeitgeist.

Yup. I'm not speaking for Osiris here. I almost always use my Osiran nation Yokiria when speaking for Osiris.

Though, careful declaring who I am speaking for, Cormac. 'Cause you can be wrong, like you are here. I'm not speaking for The Grey Wardens in my capacity as a defender. I'm speaking on a personal level, non-representative of any group I belong to.

Tim's got a point here. See:

Like what was said before, Sedge, it was one of his first times manually triggering. His "ready" commands lasted about five minutes, but other than that he did well for his first time. :P

I wasn't criticising the lack of hits - I was just suggesting a way of keeping the large images.

Given a good lot of us were just sitting in Firehelm's voice chat goofing off, I applaud Firehelm for getting out there and raiding.
The image being overkill aside, naysayers will be naysayers. You guys have a lot of fun doing what you're doing, so just have fun doing it.

Yeah, I would assume it's kind of obvious that I'm not representing my Judiciary/Security Role in Osiris. I keep Osiris-based posts to Tim Stark.

My views are my views, though, if there's no TGW Header on it then it's not a TGW statement.

I'd just like to express my love for Sedge in this moment :P

8/22 Major
Operation: Duck Hunt

Firehelm Throne Room, Time: 16:00, Location: Unknown

Overlord Plagentine is sitting on the Serbian throne as a Chaos Guard speedily enters the room

Chaos Guard: Lord Plagentine, forgive me for interrupting your.... erm... Overlord activities. But Lord Sygian is here to speak to you, he says it is urgent.

Overlord Plagentine: Send him in.

Lord Sygian enters and kneels before O. Plagentine

Lord Sygian: Your majesty. As you are aware, defenders have begun to show more resistance on the tag fields recently. I have an idea to give us a slight advantage.

Lieutenant Festavo (Who has just emerged from the shadowy corner): Blame it on Plagentine bringing in those Imgurian refugees. Some of them have been captured and enslaved by the defenders and forced to detag! It's all Plagentine's fault!

O. Plagentine (Annoyed): That's enough. Guard, throw him into the shadow box for another week.

Chaos Guard drags Lt. Festavo away

Lt. Festavo: You can't do this again! Gary Johnson for Overlo-

Lord Sygian: Anyway, the idea would take some preparation, but nothing we can't handle

O. Plagentine: What exactly is the plan?

Lord Sygian: You'll find out. It's a plan that only the Raiderdom legends have achieved.

Lord Rai enters the room

Lord Rai: You called?
