Could have been 4-5 but we're just getting back up. It's more the strength of that sphere, I started out there after all and it's been a real revival of what used to be (in my opinion) an influential group of regions.

Also, we're derailing this thread :P

There's no need to say things like that, Mahaj. Our militaries have non-updaters who like to participate too. Believe it or not, they aren't just there to inconvenience you guys.

That's just a pleasant side effect

Hey, raiding is fun. There's always folks who can't be active at update but want to be involved anyway. What else would we do with them?

Well sure, but that doesn't require their WA nation, so it doesn't conflict with reinforcement. You can't blame us for effective use of our resources.

It also takes like two seconds to move your nation and endorse. If that doesn't give you time for propaganda making, then idk what will :P

Have you ever been involved in a raid? It involves a lot more than pressing a couple buttons :p

I have planned and lead successful raids. It's work. But, I thought we were talking about these guys:

"There's always folks who can't be active at update but want to be involved anyway. What else would we do with them?"

For support, it's two clicks :P

The Black Hawks strike again!

TBH took another region at this update, right from under the fendas' noses!

OMBS fell to the might of our raider forces in a training raid for our newest Private First Class, Terrovia! Terrovia also happens to be the Point on this raid.

Yes. But, it's tough love. Some of them have a ton of potential and have done a lot.

@mike: I've problems with my founder. I've tried to be reasonable with him, he defended a man who harassed and then threatened to rape my mother. The guy was never punished by the founder, only the mods did anything. I was removed from the region for a few days for ejecting him though.

Probably the biggest issue is he sorta just beats to the tune of his own drum. He starts "wars" with virtually every region. Once when someone went over to LWU he shut down the region, password protected it and removed the delegate powers for a week despite me telling him we're safe.

Once someone spammed our RMB with an advertisement, he becomes paranoid and thinks it's an invasion. he removes delegate controls and password protects the region.

I should by all means give up and head somewhere else. But, I don't want to start over. I'm the true leader, our allies recognize me and only me, and I truly care to make the region into something good. I'll probably fail miserably, but, at least I'll try. You can't end a good party without someone on the floor, right?

Asia Invaded!

Postby Jakker » Fri Jan 06, 2012 11:34 pm

The Black Hawks have captured Asia during Saturday's Major update. We had 18 raiders from 4 organizations join in on the fun.

Our great job by all in taking down a delegate in power for over 600 days and a region of more than 90 nations that has never been successfully raided before.

Big thanks toThe Black Riders, Unknown, and The Phantom Knights were their efforts! A great day of raider unity.

Special thanks to Ghoulsville, The New Inquisition, and The Land of Kings and Emperors for providing supporting.

Come get us fendas ;)

Whoa.. You mean we are capable of more than 3 or 4 updaters? This will come as a shock to FRUDL....



Anyways, that was a fun one. Good job all :D

I thought it was more like 5 or 6 updaters we weren't able to get? We only had, what, 3 times that? :P
