The Black Hawks launched a strike this major, led by PFC Koth. Calling on some Black Riders for company, the Hawks soared high before diving down and utterly ravaging 14 regions. Defenders were nowhere to be seen, perhaps busy in Osiris or Christmas.

Regions taken:
Jawa land
Socialist International
CYOC
Slackers Confederation
Grey Sea States
Lower South District
Great Soviet Region of Bolsheviks
LOL DOOMED
The Atlantic Island Chain
New Tharsis
The World of Chimera
Genoa
The Greek Empire
The Union of Eastern Lands

Troops involved:
Private First Class Kothic Hawk
Lieutenant Spartzerium
Lieutenant Mallorea
Corporal Gestahliam
AND...Ragnarok Arisen of The Black Riders

We don't have the legions necessary to take over Osiris while guarding Christmas like the UDL does, but we do what we can with what we have.

2012: A Rocking Year

Postby Jakker » Sun Dec 30, 2012 3:51 pm

In my opinion, I would say The Black Hawks have had a great year. Yes, I may be a tad bit biased, but below are all the things we’ve done. I am quite proud of this great organization and next year we will continue to show our excellence. Thank you to all the raiding organizations and other groups who have helped us along the way.

Big Raids

One of our greatest accomplishments this year was the quality of our raids. We raided several regions with high populations and influence and many endorsements. Those raids included:

Asia (18 updaters came out to help raid it. Stopped a liberation attempt.)See Link

Catholic (This was a DEN raid as OC was the point and sleeper, but not only did TBH provide updaters, but I was the one who led the raid, so I count it as a joint :P)See Link

Atheist Empire (This was held towards the end of the Catholic raid. Mall was point and stopped a liberation attempt.) See Link

Portugal (Spartz handled every aspect of this raid. Great work done. Stopped a liberation attempt.) See Link

ITALIA (Sadly, I let UDL liberate this one) See Link

SPACE See Link

Capitalist Paradise (had 300 nations, delegate had 60ish endorsements, and 23 updaters.) See Link

Hippiedom (This raid led to the native delegate trying to refound the region, which led to it being hawked by another nation.) See Link

Hell (At one point held at the same time as Hippiedom. TBH stopped liberation attempts from Hippiedom and Hell.) See Link

Tags

The Black Hawks also did some sweet tag raiding. We took out some long standing delegates including:

Yissing Scalies who was in power for 1906 days.
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=134455&p=8099403#p8099403

Former Principalities who was in power for 1256 days.
viewtopic.php?p=11748341#p11748341

Advanced Weaponry 2 who was in power for 2663 days. He had been the third longest standing delegate in the game.
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=181094

Spartz set a standard of tag raids in one update with 28 that was the record until Halc beat it later in the year.
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=134455&p=9282862#p9282862

The Black Hawks also set the record of most raids in an update by one organization with 38. This was also beat later in the year by TBR.
viewtopic.php?p=9724631#p9724631

Throughout the year, we showed our superiority to defenders. Spartz even made it more clear here:
viewtopic.php?p=10101070#p10101070

Holding two targets at once

TBH also showed that we were capable of holding multiple regions at once. It was done on several occasions including when we raided and held The Library and Outer Haven at the same time. The Library involved stopping a liberation attempt and it was when reviving CTE nations was temporarily disabled.
viewtopic.php?p=8417781#p8417781

The raid that had it all:

Finally, there was of course, Eastern Islands of Dharma.
viewtopic.php?p=11958998#p11958998

Here’s to 2013 where The Black Hawks will sail higher than ever before. Get ready.

This past major update The Black Hawks took control of Smallballia, a passworded region with a delegate who had a streak of 6 years and 127 days in power. Defenders were nowhere to be seen... oh wait they were busy raiding! Thanks guys!

You took the region 6 seconds after your arrival.
I strongly doubt one could type a password (and move and endorse the delegate) in six seconds, let alone find it out in the same time. ;)

I'll count Rav's detags too.

Although I did one this minor: so that makes it 1-1.
