Coraxion is still a TBR member and will always be.

That's nice. Save it for when Coraxion actually ceases to be a TBR warrior. _{Which I don't see happening soon.}

Despite the fact that I <3 you Syl, you know TBR should actually read things in their own thread: viewtopic.php?p=20980305#p20980305

Not really hard to come to the conclusion that Coraxion left TBR, and not everyone knows that that's not entirely the case anymore. Better tell Port off rather than clear up the misunderstanding and applauding his respects to Coraxion, amirite? LEL.

You do not understand Coraxion, and don't take part in our Skype conversations, so you can't know better than we do.

I'm guessing that went over your head a little bit there didn't it? Can you not read?

Huzzah! Huzzah! The Black Riders executed a small raid this minor update, starting 15 minutes later and taking over 12 regions. At some point during the update 3 defenders have been spotted riding in our wake but weren't able to keep up.

Troops Involved: Feuer Ritter, Gladio, Wetwork XIII and Ever Wandering Souls

The Hit List:

Allied States of America
Luna
Hill Valley
Vizzed
The United Nations Governia
World Alliances
Tiberiam
Warzone AOAN
Democratic Socialist Utopia
Seleucia
German Tamriel
My Little Pony

And beside or tag run, Volvanovsh managed to steal The United Study Group from a TEK refound.

After an occupation that lasted for weeks, the efforts of The Eternal Knights were all in vain when Sergeant Volanowsh of The Black Riders descended upon the region and grabbed it from the clutches of the hopeless knights. May this be a lesson to all those who dare stand in the face of The Black Riders.

He also wrote us a nice song: The Rains of Neph-mir

And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a Raider of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of BLACK or a coat of WHITE,
a raider still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord Neph-mir,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Hey, telling off Port is always fun!

Despite the fact that I <3 you Syl

[Drop Your Pants]

I did keep up more or less

I thought TEK got the refound, glad it was you.

[RiderSyl]

If there's one thing that both true raiders and silly defenders can agree on, it's that TEK's failures never stop being entertaining for the rest of us.

Why you and Feuer got to hurt my feelers for? ;_;

Good job on the tags though.

Note about my Retirement: Person behind Cora.

I play this game as a game with limited skills in English, Limited time and Energy to put due hard work (Undertaker/Gardener of Cemetary), Bi-Polaric Mental Disorder, Alcoholic behavior, Deep (and pathologic) sorrow related to family relations (Divorce and no possibility see my son often, due ugly Divorce Process, mental health problems etc.), Full Addiction to NationStates and all frustrations cumulated from these reasons combined. Raiding activities are my only real hobby and Raiding Community my only Social Network aside Working Community and Local Pub's Fellas, so I take this game very seriously (when playing Role of Purist Raider Extremist).

Its Difficult socialize because of poor English and the fact I could be mother of most my raider fellows by the Age. However, What ever I may say is not directed against anybody as a person (in personal level) by default. I cannot in practice retire from TBR as long as My Fellow Riders add me to Raid Convos, ask me join to raids and keeping touch with me about raiding things. Sometimes I get frustrated because I cannot raid as much as I would Like.

My Oath ties to me to the Future of The Raiderdom.

Salute Cora.
You are one of the most real people it has been my great pleasure to meet in NS.
And you're only older compared to some

[The Sapientia]

Great to see a new face in TBR ranks!
And congratulations with the raid!

[Feuer Ritter]

Because I've grown tired of the common misconception that The Black Riders are just a bunch of tag raiders that all they ever do is raid and graffiti meaningless regions all over again and call themselves great, I'm going to explain a bit of The Black Riders history and actual facts instead of just generalizing the way this invader region conducts its raids.

First thing, The Black Riders did not start as a tag raiders, the first 6 months of raiding saw the region involving only of short term occupations of regions, from 6 up to 12 days. Occupations that were successfully held and protected against many liberation attempts launched by the defenders. The first invasion for TBR was in Charon and that happened in July 21, 2011, while the first tag raid happened in January 15 , 2012 when 4 regions were raided and tagged, that's when the tagging part started. Until the first tag raid TBR raided Charon, The Greater Empire of Lintonium, Lost, Middle Earth, Katasia, Northern P4, Islam, Vlaanderen, Rome and Stargate, plus giving full support in joint operations like the TBH raid on Ohio and Asia.
Another factor in TBR increasing tag raiding was the challenge of defeating the TBH record of most raids in one update by one team, this lead to Operation Marathon I with 26 regions taken using 3 teams and Operation Marathon II when I triggered 26 raids with one team. Then with Halcones becoming active again, tag raiding become more wide spread, but with good results, it created an activity that has never seen before in a raider region. It helped TBR grown to what it is today.

To show more operations that had nothing to do with tagging, there you have: full support in the DEN raid on Catholic, the raid on Deutschland, Region of Reunited Muslim States which was almost refounded, South America, Islamic Republic of Iran, Korel, Former United States, full support in TNI raid on Ireland, United Nations Organisation, Ohio, Planet X and the demolition of 1000+ embassies, Yorkshire, Coffee House, Orion, Christmas, steal of Angola, Anarchy, Western Assembly counter-attack against TEK, liberation of Anzia, The Silver Isles and Ixnay.

And let's not forget the amount of support The Black Riders provided in the coup of Osiris which later proved to be a waste of resources.

Beside all this The Black Riders hold many records in the field of raiding and are also an example of efficiency, discipline and flexibility. Holding a region or two does not put a strain on TBR tagging efforts as we are capable to actively reinforce multiple regions and tag during the same update, we have the ability to redeploy 30+ pilers withing 12 hours like shown in the Anarchy-The Silver Isles double occupation. And this is just a general view of the full potential and abilities of The Black Riders.

So anyone criticizing the way TBR raids should have a more in depth look on the actual facts.

[Volanowsh]

Because I've grown tired of the common misconception that The Black Riders are just a bunch of tag raiders that all they ever do is raid and graffiti meaningless regions all over again and call themselves great.

Exactly how many regions out there are conducting 2 simultaneous occupations, have been operating for half a decade, are the most renowned raiders in the whole of NS, capable of running a multitude of raiding teams in 1 update, is one of the most supportive regions of other raiding organizations, AND on top of all that, they still do those graffiti tags?

Yeaaaah I think only 1 region does all that.

No no no no no no no, it is only natural that TBR is gonna get criticized by angry natives and those jealous "moderates" so long as TBR exists, and TBR will probably exist so long as NS itself exists. Almost all of the criticism is just nonsense that we should just shrug off.

So they can bitch and whine all they want. As of right now, TBR still is the #1 raiding organization in NS. And all the bitching and criticism in the world won't change that fact.

And let's not forget the amount of support The Black Riders provided in the coup of Osiris which later proved to be a waste of resources.

I'm often accused of frequenting The Black Riders embassy here in Gameplay to cause trouble, but it's usually comments like these that draw my attention. The Osiris Fraternal Order remains an imperialist Sinker government inclined toward raiding, and we have provided support on many recent raider operations -- including operations conducted by The Black Riders. How this has proven to be "a waste of resources" on your part, I'm not sure, unless it's necessary for Osiris to agree with every decision The Black Riders make and condone your every action.

In which case, I will just say that we are no one's client state and if The Black Riders expected a region of yes men in exchange for their support in December, I suppose you did waste your resources.

Your opinion as Chief of the General Staff and official representative of The Black Riders in Halcones' absence is duly noted by the Osiris Fraternal Order and I would imagine there will be an official response when our ongoing election concludes.

Good for imperialism. They get a friendly ally. We on the otherhand get you.

inclined toward raiding

It would be difficult to have a more half-hearted phrase.

That's Kknight's job.

If you can help yourself, then keep it at a paragraph or less. We hardly have diplomatic/military ties worth mentioning so if it's a complete break then a sentence or two will suffice.

[Kknight]

That's Kknight's job.

Quite frankly, there no need to comment on drama. Cormac clearly has an issue with us. Big deal. If every former defender turned moderate who had a problem with us mattered, then TBR would be dead by now.

Now Cormac, if Osiris has an offical problem with TBR, feel free to have the person in charge contact me on skype or by TG.

And you can keep him, we defenders don't want him back...ever
