Wasn't Hampshire one of the most prominent imperialist regions back in the day?

Also, happy new year to TBR

It was never one of the most prominent imperialist regions and declined to join the Sovereign Regions Alliance Treaty Organisation when invited to do so.

However, it is a current ally of The Land of Kings and Emperors. It should not have been attacked and its embassy with the LKE, one of its only three embassies (another being with Empires of Earth), should not have been interfered with. The UIAF have raised a complaint with TBR on this matter.

We expect that there will be no further incidents which would impair our close military relationship as further infringements will not be tolerated.

I will take care this won't happen again. I already informed the raid leaders to be more careful with their target selection and if it happens by mistake to raid one, to not tag it.

Can you please stop talking about me in every thread? Also, my apologies Whiskum, Feuer showed me what TBR torture dungeon looked like, and I certainly don't want to end up there. I'll be more careful with our allies lands :)

He's a Major, so pretty close. It usually takes a year of active and outstanding service in TBR to become a General.

if he invades a 20th of existing regions right now that's usually General-worthy

That's the job of the General Staff of TBR. Everyone must go through all ranks, that's the way.

We hope that we haven't offended anyone tonight :P

Huzzah!

Strange...

Normally, you laugh at such competition. This time, you seem to have a slight edge of anger...

I'm touched that you would need that many to tag my regions.

Raiders raiding Warzones. A decade old dream finally realised.

Of course, everyone who willingly joins a Warzone in the first place does it for the lulz of seeing who'll kick them next (and knowing they'll be unbanned next update) as much as raiders do it for the lulz of raiding.

It really is a no-harm situation..

Of course the real way to hurt is to hold a Warzone for 365+ days for someone to finally my record...but I pity someone who puts in a year just to spite me :P, I at least a spent a year making a community and some friends. :P

Yet Codger right above you did one stint for exactly a year (not counting leap years) and I think his total is much more than that. Come on Milo.

For the record, no tools were used, just plain old spotting and defending ;)
