The Black Riders - The Elite Cavalry of NationStates

[Port blood]

Leading a tag raid ain't easy. As a total noob, I could have easily got like 4 regions or something.

And a noob you are! NOW DROP AND GIVE ME 50....DOLLAR

[Venico]

The first tag I led landed me like 8. =P But sheet technology was also waaay behind than what it is today. Halcones would usually bring in 20-25 those days.

I can't imagine raiding back in those days... I'm glad I've arrived to R/D in a much easier time, honestly.

[Venico]

Syl, answer me honestly...can you manually trigger? =P

[RiderSyl]

I... uh... I plead the 5th.

[The New Aztecs]

No. I didn't feel hurted. It's rough game sometimes, but it is still The Game.

...And for those who think it's funny laugh about my skills in English language, Please try Finnish and come again laugh on my mistakes. I hardly dared even try to use English when I started this game and initial reason to me play was... learning better English. However, systematic language studies left aside when I realised how nice this Game actually is even without Utilitarist motives to play it.

Now I play it for Crashing more regions and I don't give a damn if some ridiculous fenda or poor, helpless native can get some laughs about it, as that is probably only reason to them laugh at all. Thank You.

(I translated several books from English to Finnish, but it's different...)

Amen, sister.
And you speak English extremely well btw....a lot better then most US-Americans i know....

[Venico]

Bah. >.> You young 'uns today have all the technology so that you never learn how to actually do the work yourself. Stop by Malice for an update and I'll show you how to raid a region with a clean and a manual trigger.

For Clarity, Syl made that 18 Hits Without using best TBR War technology (which we do not start speak here) available, Cora Ruined one Hit due very Bad Movement and one TNI's Tag was Evaded when first accidentally jumped in. I've seen worse performances than that, Even from The 'Elite'.

There were also moments of chit chat, and we started whole Raid without any serious expectations. Naturally.

[RiderSyl]

Amen, sister.

Sadly, I can attest to this being true.

You grasshoppers don't know anything! back in my day we had to figure things out ourselfs!


Speaking of which,just wondering,you guys still try to remain undetected pre-raid? because TEK sure as well doesnt with puppet storage lol

[Coraxion]

Hmmm.... It must be several months ago when there actually exist situations where trying to keep puppets hidden could had some tactical benefits to the Update Tag raiding results. Defenderdom has been out played from these spheres already while ago.

Those golden days won't come back, respectable Old Timers.

I was going to say something patriotic about my region but I should keep that to myself; I don't want to spark a giant argument! One Eternal knight fighting loads of TBR nations in a flame war won't be easy! Anyway I must admit your cavalry is pretty elite... but maybe not the best (if you get me).

Its the same on the defender side. If the technology stops working then most of the newer defenders are dead in the water.

All hail the old ones!

[Feuer Ritter]

the old times were indeed more fun but also more complicated, when you had to prepare a raid several hours before update, choosing right targets at right times and planting triggers before every targets, then using rss feeds to keep track of them during update and stopwatches to get the right move time but also no variance, so it would be harder now to manual trigger.

Do me a favour guys; quatramata

[FMxSoul]

Do me a favour guys; quatramata

Why not, just one condition, you will come undercover to help us take it

Can't I'm stuck as a delegate, and I don't think my defender colleagues will be happy if I did that

They probably don't like that I may or may not have suggested a raid target either

I've led raids out of several Jump Points simultaneously. One of the days I was experimenting with that was the day we received the most 'Fenda interference we ever have. Someone halfway decent was actually following our jumps from one we had used several times before. They were still ineffective until I royally screwed one up, and triggered a while early. Even then, they probably wondered where we went for long periods of time, or though we were only doing a few, because the other two regions we were jumping out of went without a hitch. Sadly, repeated efforts to found our own jump have yet to result in any later than 12:50ish.....We'll keep trying

And If you think they try to go undetected, just look at TRR a few minutes before any update, and watch the sudden rise in emigration to Nugut

[Coraxion]

Indeed. Reason for Absence of Defenders around cannot be that they would not know where we keep our puppets.

Then... if its possible take part to raids without being online in Irc/chat/skype, it is possible try also act like defender, even when being alone. (hint: Special One did that alone long time, achieving some quite remarkable results when doing so)

So, its actually very hard understand why there continuously pop up new 'defender' regions all around like a mushrooms on a lamb's excrement, and almost every week (if not daily), but these numerous newcomers are not still spotted on our trails during our rides, The Most logical place you would search if trying seek defenders. However, fields are usually silent and roads empty after The Black Riders rode across them. We can just go straight forwardly like an assault tanks.

Things would be good (for R/D Gameplay) if there would be as many Fenda (also Raider, why not) Wannabes chasing us than there are Wannabes crying out their moral outrage on these Game Play threads.

I'd be happy if there even once would be superior numbers of Fendas against us. Let's say, ratio 10D to 2R, would be nice to experience...

(Note: Seeking optimal late updating jump point is not an excuse not to try actually defend sometimes. You can always make instant jump points, and/or use already existing late updating regions.)
