Hahahah, even if you could do this, you'd need to contact every raider group in the game to do it. :lol2:

13 updaters? We could get that between just TBH, TBR, and DEN on a good night.

On a good night, yes and you need more than 13, probably more like 20. Seeing as how you needed to contact lots of people to get 20 people a day prior to stacking alone... I'm not so sure about this 13 people theory even.

TBH and TBR could come up with 13 without all of our updaters even showing up.

Are you keeping track? We were able to find that many in a day despite another big raid going on.. And you don't have to be sure about it, because we are. TBH and TBR could easily get 5 each, and DEN could take the other three (as long as I am DEN that night >.>)

Don't you attack my Mother.
13 when you only needed five, if you can't plant the damn trigger well enough to accomplish that then I don't know what you want from us. The numbers really are irrelevant beyond that, if you can't take out a five endo lead then why does it matter if we spike it to an eighty endo lead? Same result in the end.

On a good night, the raider community working together can pull maybe 18 endos. Assuming the defender community could do the same, and you moved within say, 5 seconds of update, I think you'd have a better than 50/50 shot, provided your troops were well trained. What's the problem here? You only need 11 to get through. We're piling? Please.

Are completely and utterly true. We missed libbing it by one WA, my own fault for not paying attention until about a minute before the lib and having no time to switch. *shrugs*

We'll see if we'll have enough to try again at a future update. If we do, then TBH had better bring their A game.

Well that raid just got way more boring, typical and artless fast.

Honestly, do you ever get tired of this? Yes, we get that you think you and the UDL are superior to all other orgs defender and raider but the following debates on updaters is one that is constantly hashed.

Thank you George for being the most sensible of the UDL leaders. :) I appreciate your honesty and encouraging attitude. We will make sure to always bring our A game. Good luck to you. If you do succeed, I'll make sure to be one of the firsts to congratulate you.

When you miss by one, no one can really take full blame,cause I mean, anyone coulda been there. If anyone had recruited one more person, or if another organization had sent one more person, etc etc etc. Believe me, I know the feeling.

Bottom line: This region is still in play.

George. Thanks for being the most sensible defender on this thread. It's a long time since I've seen something like this. It makes me actually have hope in the defenders. Spread your message far.


Hermes Conrad wrote:But does the region want to be in play, or would they rather be left to their own devices?


This is quite irrelevant to the situation. If we considered the opinion of a region when we raided it then we wouldn't be raiding much now would we :P

ITALIA captured

Postby Jakker » Sun Apr 01, 2012 10:39 pm

Attention!

At the last major update, The Black Hawks successfully raided ITALIA, a region with close ties to 10,000 Islands. Many thanks to The Black Riders and The New Inquisition for their assistance in the raid.

This update, TBH raided Yorkshire with the help of The Phantom Knights. It was, of course, a lot of fun. We missed Yorkshire and Lisa's pies, so we decided to come back for another visit. Hopefully there'll be some excitement during our visit. :)
