It will end immediately when these friends and allies inform about their beloved Dumps not to be raided. Other good option is also make them invulnerable by barring Delegate access and/or locking region.

You know very well that no raid leader won't start spend 5 minutes for searching hints what kind of region some target is. I have personally dozens of regions, how many of them you know, Dear Venico?

I can easily expect all kinds of complaining from Natives and Fendas, but continuous picking between Raiders is something nobody need. Just send list of regions you want not get to be raided to The Black Riders General Staff. That easy it is. With Respect.

just a thought:

I don't remember what guy,but some guy from BoM is able to host stuff

host a moderated list of raider regions with search option,a quick copypaste is as fast as it can get

I personally really appreciate the lengths to which TBR's General Staff have gone to do everything in their power to make sure mistakes aren't repeated. I've been skeptical and at times critical, but the General Staff has worked in good faith with other raiders to resolve any issues that arise from mistakes that are bound to happen with the impressive speed and number of TBR raids.

Leadership isn't about being perfect, it's about accepting responsibility for mistakes and correcting them and the General Staff has consistently done that to preserve the strong bond between raiders. It's nice to see the leadership of the largest and most active raider region, and the only one active daily, leading the raider world by example.

by **Venico** » Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:27 am

When a WFE reads "THIS IS OWNED BY ____" click the link and see who the region is. And I have tagged plenty Cora, and I look at the WFE every time. It isn't raiders whining, it's raiders and imperialists saying stop being sloppy. You can take 3 seconds to read a WFE and check the flag. This new policy allows you to not publish about attacking other raiders. And publicly decrying the policy every update and complaining about a step TBR is taking to look professional and not crash Raider Unity, isn't Kosher.

In your own words, "I can easily expect all kinds of complaining from Natives and Fendas..." Like it or not but when your region has an extensive track record of breaking Raider Unity just about every update, precautions will be set so you stop looking like dicks. I'd like to congratulate the General Staff on their efforts to curtail flaunting about attacking other raiders.

I happen to agree. I'm extremely proud of the leadership finally taking the initiative to keep our side of R/D together and from attacking one another.

by **Coraxion** » Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:43 am

Yes. Agreed. TBR GS has done a lot for minimising Mistakes. And will do more in Future.

However... "THIS IS OWNED BY ____" style announcements on WFEs aren't any kind quarantee for not to be raided, Especially when any kind actions are not made for making region secure.

The Black Riders has currently hundreds of active tags, and none of us expect they should be secure from possible retaggings and By default every region are considered Targets, if not otherwise noted by allies and friends. If something is really important for The Black Riders we have resources and ability to make it secure and out of reach of any enemies.

Then, on historical Raider regions. I've played this game now some 3 years and I just cannot know all possible Sacred Retirement Bunkers of Veteran Raiders from Eras already gone long time ago. I do not expect anyone should know them all. Question is why people don't just make them safe.

Personally I have no problems crash insecure Raider regions if fellow raiders are that sloppy they allow that happen.

by **Venico** » Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:52 am

When they take all the proper precautions and you still hit it and then proclaim aloud to GP "We hit our non executive jump point of our friends!" Or "We hit a colony of LKE! We hit a colony of Pantheon!" it makes it seem like you folks can't read the WFEs at all. That's why these measures are in place. Because people don't read and post anyways bragging about attacking their allies.

by **Feuer Ritter** » Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:56 am

Ok, let's end this story now that we developed a system to screen out this kind of regions from our tools. If it happens to hit one, just send a private message to me or other member of the general staff about the problem and it will be added to no-hit list.

Can we add all the sinkers to that list? They've had more raider puppets in them than any other region

Now now Cora, you should know better than to upset the status quo and step on peoples toes - vested interests have a habit of closing ranks and protecting there own = last thing we want is a closed shop - and if you don't know your history how can you avoid repeating the same mistakes!
:rofl:

by **Coraxion** » Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:49 pm

Thanks For you Compliments Admiral Needa.

Come teach me then again when You are learnt yourself The lesson not to make same mistakes again. Tsk. Tsk. There are still some 100+ regions, under your Control, but still somehow The Black Riders has lately been responsible over them...

Something will eventually change in this arrangement Admiral Needa. If you're unable take initiative, then maybe someone else will do that on your behalf. What comes to status quo, I really try break that as it is Ultimately The reason why we exists.

And Yet again, its not personal, but I don't have to listen backstabbers anymore. Fight the good Fight.
