It only takes two people to do a detag, so if you want to make the (absolutely fine) argument that they've been dutifully and actively detagging for a long time despite the hinderances of their size, you don't want to say that they've "only" gone on 1000 OPs because they were successfully hindered by their size.
The size of the crew can range anywhere from 2 to 4 nations, depending on who is available. I don't necessarily believe their size is a hindrance. I think it allows them to operate under the radar. I also don't think 1000 successful deployments is a small accomplishment for a self-taught group, given that they do this without the formal training, support network, and in particular, the tools that defender nations in larger organizations have at their disposal. It's the apples and oranges thing again.
Bormiar wrote:Oh I agree, but I'm guessing the bulk of these missions are detags, and since those are objectively less important than liberations, it might be better to stress the greater importance of those liberations- for example by putting the liberations before the detag clause, though there are cleaner ways that include a bigger rewrite.
I don't believe that a detag is less important than a liberation to the natives of a raided region. In either case, you've still got an unwanted stranger(s) wielding power over, and doing damage to your home. From the native perspective, whatever restores the region to it's former state is what matters. I think such a change would be esoteric. Most nations with an understanding of R/D will either see the work as beneficial to the community, or they won't. To everyone else, it won't really make any difference where the clause appears.

- Sharing their accomplishments through their proxy nations isn't as nice as just saying their accomplishments, as those names mean nothing to most people.
Thanks, I'll try the bulleted stuff both ways. If it doesn't seem too dense, I'll remove the spaces.
