From what I've seen, some of what it is is that they work differently. Neither the FRA nor the UDL is much for chasing us down during update, whereas TITO doesn't usually do much for liberations unless it's crucial, like Evil Wolf taunting them. :P

The Wolf-King's Lament
by Francisco de Borja Roca - 1999

An old, grey-maned King am I,
Barking my gruff orders under Orion's sky
And, beneath my throne of dew and stone
My people, all sinew and bone,
Flashing fangs and eyes of smold'ring coals,
Haunched on brawny hinds they do attend me.

Ah, my soul is gnarled, like gnarled the tree
I nightly choose for blessed sleep;
Aye, the Hunt has tired me-
'Tis only Time's matter
Till a brash whelp's challenge
Brings me 'neath the turf of my shady fief.

Yet I was strong once, if still it matters;
Aye, my quarters taut, my shadow lean and gaunt
Yet brimm'd with power- unlike now, so much more tame,
My ribs a bony rigging
For my ragg餬 scar-creased frame.

They have called me Heather-Sceptered, Oak-Garbed,
Star-Crowned Ruler of the Hunt.

Yet look ye now... where is this night-caped regnant?
Nothing but a weak, starving bag
Holding the bones of former days am I,
Howling former glories to the Moon and stars-

At times I think the Moon howls back,
The white-skinned, tight-snouted bitch all mock'ry and jest
Upon my old age, as I curl upon my back for wanted rest
Under the shade of my gnarled oak-tree.

The time is come- can you not hear the howling?

The Hunt is called again...

this time without me"


:p

Its true. Similarly, i'd hope you don't use the FRA as a model, or the UDL. Because defenders are different.


now as to which one works the best... thats up for debate...


On the other hand I would love it if invaders used the Skeleton Army as their model of conduct. :bow:

not to be putting my own team down but i did find this interesting

http://conservative.nationstates.net/pa ... 2/start=26

thats the WASC resolution that condemned Unknown

And its based around forum crashing, seems like that is more common than we think.

so in that case, unknown may be raided 6 yrs from now by the fendahs for revenge.

The forum deletion has received an apology on behalf of unknown, even though the deletion wasn't authorized, directed, or even suggested by the O.R.I..

What I don't understand is why a raider, of all people, would go around digging this up - and doing so poorly informed. :blink:

MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN

This is what these words mean:

Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
Peres: Your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians.

...That very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was slain, and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two.

Credit for the success goes to many people--from the dozens of raiders lending their support, to individuals named and unnamed--especially Savaer, who dropped WA to help me watch the region when I was unavailable.

Justice was abandoned as soon as UDL allied themselves with the scum of NS. If any raider org did what TPC was responsible for, you would be posting essay after essay about it. Instead you guys pull a coy stunt where you hold no accountability for who you defend.

Oh good luck with that, friend.

Under my plan, justice will most certainly be ABANDONED. I'm afraid it's almost time to say goodbye, to your little world of "justice".

I had great pleasure in watching the scores of fendas, fall one by one. Most enjoyable.

I seem to have heard something like this before.

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=131269

Let's compare.
The Executive Council and Command Staff of the Red Liberty Alliance hereby condemn the actions taken in regards to the destruction of the Invaders Boards. We consider these actions to be the work of individuals and not reflective of the RLA as a whole. The Executive Committee and Command Staff of the RLA had no prior knowledge that agents of the RLAI would be carrying out this attack; nor did they possess any knowledge as to the details surrounding the attack until after it was over.

The EC and Command Staff also commit to conduct a complete and thorough investigation of the attack, the results of which will be made public. As part of the investigative process, we recommend an outside observer will take part in the investigation. Lanier, of the West Pacific, has agreed to act as this observer. He would examine the same evidence as the investigators and issue his own impartial report on the facts. At the conclusion of this investigation, the investigative panel will issue a recommendation on how to act on the findings which will then be submitted to the Central Soviet for consideration.

In the mean time, we urge everyone to be calm and wait for the facts to come about before issuing any judgements of their own.

Kshrlmnt wrote:A year ago today, Unknown was condemned for the forum destruction committed by one of its operatives, Rougiers.

There is little to say that has not already been said. Rougiers completed the task assigned to him, to gather IPs and other information for our own region's security. Forum destruction was not part of his assignment.

Unknown judged Rougiers based on the success of his assigned mission, not his actions after its completion. This judgment was never meant to be an encouragement of such tactics, and hopefully has not been interpreted as such.

But on the anniversary of our condemnation, we wish to reiterate: We do not, nor will we, encourage forum attacks like this. They will not be done in our name or on our behalf.

To The Council of Narnia and the Crusaders of Justice: We are truly sorry for what part we played in your loss, and for our unsympathetic response to your legitimate complaints. In the end, we too trusted Rougiers too much, and were nearly destroyed by him. Our loss was not the same as yours, but served as a wakeup call--though none should have been needed.

The deletions and bannings perpetrated by Rougiers never should have happened. They, and our response to them, are inextricably tied to our region's past, but they are not who we are or who we want to be. There is nothing we can do to change the past; we can only learn from it, and offer our humble apologies.

There are several differences.

First, the latter statement was issued a much longer span of time after the incident in question; and the immediate reaction was apparently that the mission was a success. The disclaimer follows an "unsympathetic reaction" and a WA resolution condemning their region publicly; nobody could describe the heated debate in the TPC forums, extensively quoted here, as "unsympathetic" without being uninformed. "Mixed" would be the appropriate term.

Second, it's an apology rather than a condemnation. As far as I'm concerned, this is a matter of style and presentation - the RLA being very much more bureaucratic and martial in its rhetoric, and the one from Unknown taking a more personal tone.

Third, it's an invader organization, rather than a defender organization. Which is why, I presume, Tikal Wolf described the former quote as "irrelevant" and linked to the latter thread with hurt offense that someone hadn't heard of it and believed its contents; simple and wholly explicable psychological bias.
