Kalenduh!

I spell "labour" with a little l thusly, while the Labor Party was renamed both for the links to the American movement and because both "labour" and "labor" were considered acceptable usage both in British English and Australian English at the time.

So...this is awkward.

HUGE DEFENDER VICTORY IN ASIA
December 28, 2013.

CONFLICT ZONE, ASIA --- A huge victory for defenders was scored in Asia tonight with The Black Riders toppled by an overwhelming, unified force of defenders from all corners of NationStates. The native delegate, The Derrak Quadrant won the delegacy back with the help of defenders, against The Black Riders, 47-27.

This incredible feat was accomplished with a major turnout from UDL, LLA, TITO, FRA, RIA, Wintreath, SDF, BAF and RRA -- with assistance also from NSA (Escade!). Defenderdom looks as strong as ever with FRA Veterans, Karputsk and Guy and UDL Veterans, Mahaj and Unibot, leading the mission with help from Lazarus's Chairman, Milograd - who devised a rather clever plan to confuse invaders using false flags. Karputsk took the job of triggering the mission (organizing its timing), while Mahaj and Milograd organized defenders and Unibot recruited participants and reached out for willing talent. Renowned defender, Ravania contributed to the liberation with a number of "sleeper" nations already stashed in Asia which were used to the advantage of liberators later that same day.

Zarkenis, regular UDL defender, says he "missed the spammy hype after a successful mission", after a retirement from defending.

Indeed, the "spammy hype" proved prolific after this successful liberation:

VICTORRRRRRRRRRRY

[Another Eleanor Rigby]

It was a fun time. LLA was happy to help.

- Milograd

[Wintermoot]

I suppose it's safe to say that Asia won't be requiring the "services" of the Green-Black Concordat, any longer.

[Tim-Opolis]

Needs more flair.

I propose:

THIS PAST MAJOR UPDATE, THE GLORIOUS DEFENDER FORCES TRAMPLED OVER 28 BLACK RIDERS AND OTHER ASSORTED LOWLIFES.
Raider Resistance was nowhere to be found, as they were too busy getting tripped up by decade-old tactics.

It just feels more fitting somehow

[Benevolent Thomas]

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that types expletives in all caps after a liberation attempt (successful or not ). I even chanted "USA! USA! USA!" Who knew that we were all so much alike?

[Karputsk]

*is still shaking*

I think we've reminded the TBR forces in Asia that their Chairman's chair is not quite the best chair.

Oh I think there are more similarities than we like to admit.

Yeah, I think we're actually quite alike. Maybe we should work together more often, eh?

*is still shaking*

You did a fantastic job, mate

There's only one Chairman on NS.

Seconded.

[Terra cinis tonitrua et justitia]

It was awesome. I was glad to be able to help, however limited my help was.

[The Saturnian Republic]

Wintreath just looks silly in that list all un-acronymed. (It's Wintreath Hvitt Riddaral, WHR)

Anyways, that was refreshing. I do adore a good late-night liberation.

I thought it made us stand out.

[Suchasmallthing]

It must be a nice moral boost. So Tell me, what was the most powerful? The fun and excitement of the planning, the execution and of your own success, or the delicious feeling of morality prevailing over ...something evil.
I except Tim and Unibot to give to 2 diffrent answers.

[Karputsk]

It was the winning. Definitely the winning.

I was thrilled we could help out Asia. Liberations are very difficult.

[Coraxion]

Little more effort is still needed from your part. Then we have real R/D Gameplay again in The NationStates. Your general passivity sucks! This time your had apparent luck with you too.

Winning is nice. I like winning. Helping the natives was cool too.

[Ambroscus Koth]

Must feel nice, I think I was still in high school the last time I saw defenders "win" anything.

[Tlik]

It was the winning. Definitely the winning.

^ from what I remember of liberations, this was always my favourite part.

Congrats guys!

[Cormac A Stark]

Congratulations. My next occupation might actually not bore me to death, I'm looking forward to it.
