Yes, gloating about the evils of your region. Wonderful.
*yawn* Not this again, explain how increasing nation numbers are evil. That is if it is possible for a number to be evil, which it is not.

Righto, back to the topic of top raiders and defenders. Who would people put in the defender category?

What invasion, and call region x evil and you generally get a response.

Clearly our stealth is beyond anyone's ability to counter. Great White Brotherhood. Looks like FRA went in and missed. Out of curiosity anyone got any good stories about libs/raids gone bad thanks to timing mishaps?

There's the time like a week ago when you guys moved in WAY early, like minutes early, and we, without FT, thought you missed update. We moved out of the region, and you guys took delegacy. I was really mad about that one, because we had more numbers than you guys.

:lol:
Reminds me of Atheist Empire, one of ours jumped in waaay too early and you guys assumed it was a trap or something. I also remember trying to raid a region during the night the update finally broke and had to be stopped. We were about an hour early I think.

Plenty of time to make a cup of tea and settle in, that's what I do when I watch liberations/raids. :)

we missed because i had to start the timing-proces only minutes before that region updated. my aim was to call jump time 3 seconds before update time, but my jump time ended up being 1 second after update time. i figured out my system clock was 4 seconds behind UDL-clock today, where that is usually just 1 second.
next time i'll check that first and call jump time 2 seconds before update time ;)

Weird stuff happens sometimes. My favorite UDL memories are of desperately trying to get Spartz to respond to make the trigger, usually just before update :p

I did one raid where update was seriously slow (but I hadn't the time to check), and I was like 12 hours early (it was the one that hit major).

There was a moment of total confusion mind - we thought we were too late.
