The Black Riders - The Elite Cavalry of NationStates

[Star IV]

Will you PLEASE stop masticating with your ad-hominem and consistent argumentation. The gunk coming from your mouths as you exercise your jaws is flying all over the place, and I must say, it is disgusting.

Ripping apart a puppet region is considered "a win" lmfao.

I always thought the Black Riders were actually raiding real regions and causing mayhem. Turns out TEK had more guts.

'Had more guts' to do what... the exact same thing as TBR?

Incompetant organisation says: Let's raid Lazarus RAWR!!! Guts? Sure. Brains? Not so sure. Turns out TEK tagged as well, less regions, but claimed them as win nonetheless. On the other hand, TBR successfully raids plenty or large regions. TEK? The most they did was United Study group which had like 1 or 2 endorsements on their delegate..and they couldn't even refound it .

TBR usually raids tiny regions, especially when they're in their four man groups. If you look at the activity logs for these regions you'll see that until the recent raids there was nothing happening, at all, in any way.

Emphasis mine. Kinda backs up my point. Don't have the guts to raid real regions with active players. Sure, TEK raided inactive regions, to be expected and harmless fun. But tag raiding small puppet regions, I don't recall them doing that. As for brains...I'm not sure TBR has any XD

And yet you claim TEK 'had more guts'... funny.

[Enfaru]

Who else would attempt raid Lazarus? You have to have guts to attempt that XD. Intelligence not so much required.

[Aurum Rider]

Tag raids are training raids, and are also "advertisements." You seem to be believe that like TEK, we consider tag raids 'big victories,' when in reality, the only way we consider them significant, is in the number of hits. The state that the region is in, is a completely inconsequential detail in comparison.

Simply declaring war is one thing, taking actual military action is quite another.

Hmm... I like this one. *adds to list*

...carry on.

Wow, so many regions to liberate, so little time!

Well. That's frankly just inaccurate.

Let's see, what were the most recent things TBR was involved with... let's think back... How about helping TBH and UIAF jump into Canada? Just like a tag, but bigger. That wasn't really their op though. Back further... Ixnay! A lovely roleplay region, full of active players, emptied and refounded, locked forever from the natives. Want another? They pulled out eventually, but Anarchy sure disrupted the lives of a lot of natives. That's just the recent past too. Not to mention all regions are real And the tag raids where half a dozen or a few more disrupt dozens of delegates, when they have the people online. Moving on. TEK raided inactive regions because that's all we had the troops to do, even with help. Trust me, I was point for most of the biggest op we had. And that fell to...guess who....TBR and other raiders! We did tag regions too. I know because, even months after I left, I held the record for most hits in a run there - personally busted a week or two after arriving in Sicarius. As stated, over and over, Orgs tag because it's fun, it passes the time, it keeps troops active and gets new recruits active, it's practice for jumping into places, and it's advertisement - among other reasons. Finally, no need to personally insult anyone. TBR is full of smart and friendly people, no matter how many times they get called 12-year-olds. In conclusion, TBR raids regions with active players all the time, TEK couldn't do better, TEK did not do it for fun, they did it for a cause, a case that caused them endless trouble. Regions like TBR and Sicarius do it for fun. Even as someone who's never once been a member of TBR, I can tell you that they're a dozen times more competent than TEK was at it's best. If you want further, feel free to make more wildly inaccurate statements, and I'll correct those too, as someone who's been on both sides of the conflict. Neph has guts. TBR had skill.

...

Anyone who thought much of TEK is not worth writing a paragraph for. The only thing TEK had was grandiose plans that barely left the drawing board stage and a capability to find people even more gullible than themselves to praise them.

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Including me at the time Glad those days are gone.

[Coraxion]

Lmao!

I know right? Why doesn't TBR ever do anything than tags?! Oh wait, they do. How's Ixnay these days?

[Coraxion]

Right Consular. Also, For Example RORMS.

Misconceptions caused by our daily practice runs cause some misunderstandings all around concerning our organisational capabilities and time frames we can use for achieving our objectives.

...And, still we control continuously also vast areas of Tagfields.
