And yet much more impressive than your defending, as evidenced by the 20 regions you failed to defend. It's like a bald man telling a guy with a receding hairline that his hair's not that impressive. I actually had a less classy analogy here but I'll save that for IRC if anyone is interested.

Congratulations to The Black Riders on their victories. Good to see Koth back in the game and annoying defenders.

Why, pray tell, should I waste my time defending tag raids? Probably better to just sit and wait for them to tag everything really, and then when they run out of regions to tag we could expect them to try a real raid.

Actually, Falc's idea is probably the best if we're all being honest :rofl: But someone should really let him know that since he's been gone, we've heard that same spiel a couple thousand times :p

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone, no apologies for not doing a "real raid" though, I've been away for far too long to plan an occupation!

Eist has inoculated us against this taunt. If it didn't sting the first 999 times then it's not going to sting the 1000th time.

Saturday 5th October, Major update

Defenders cower in fear, as General Halcones returns (see above image). A stampede came, and after an initial attempt, defenders became too frightened to stand in its way. They simply stood back, and allowed countless victims to fall one by one. Some delegates even got the chop. A total of 17 victims were claimed this update. Many good timings were observed.

Troops involved were General Halcones, Wraith_FIN, sev the rider, Suchasmallthing, Ravarx, and Ugnar. Congratulations all. An excellent performance.

The 17 regions defenders failed to save are:

The Free Land
The South Mexican Drug Cartel
The Domain of Mischief
The New British Empire
Warzone Europe
Iron Port
Nicetopia
Teutonic States
Heaven on Earth
Ormiston Vanguard Pact
City of Gotham
Estados Unidos Mexicanos
The Information Center
Dixie
The Library
The Doctor who universe
DFI

Mordors embassy to Europe maybe- but closing TEP's was a bit uncalled for.

I would not call it a total victory in a warzone unless you see it through that your cancellations go through.

TEP was in africa for a week or so and beat Mordor trying to kick us out multiple times, Sauron asked nicely with hours on his embassy and I saved it.

Plus, the update is shorter now.
