Saturday 5th October, Major update

Defenders cower in fear, as General Halcones returns (see above image). A stampede came, and after an initial attempt, defenders became too frightened to stand in its way. They simply stood back, and allowed countless victims to fall one by one. Some delegates even got the chop. A total of 17 victims were claimed this update. Many good timings were observed.

Troops involved were General Halcones, Wraith_FIN, sev the rider, Suchasmallthing, Ravarx, and Ugnar. Congratulations all. An excellent performance.

The 17 regions defenders failed to save are:

The Free Land
The South Mexican Drug Cartel
The Domain of Mischief
The New British Empire
Warzone Europe
Iron Port
Nicetopia
Teutonic States
Heaven on Earth
Ormiston Vanguard Pact
City of Gotham
Estados Unidos Mexicanos
The Information Center
Dixie
The Library
The Doctor who universe
DFI

Actually, the Free Land was another group of raiders (and I was the triggerman) also going for the same target. Not Defenders trying to stop you.
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.

We realised after we took the region that you guys were another raider group. It just took us a while to figure out who you were. Interesting that we had the same target. I only hope we didn't ruin any long term plans for you guys.

Sunday 6th October, Minor update

For the second consecutive update, all of NationStates becomes stunned, as The Black Riders charge through, claiming a further 30 victims. Defenders have well and truly surrendered, and so didn't attempt to protect any of the innocent victims. Their detagging efforts are pathetic.

Troops involved were General Halcones, Suchasmallthing, The Realm of No Return, Ugnar and Coraxion.

The 30 captured regions that defenders didn't care about, as follows:

The Free Land
Cziskilamonia
Rhaegar
Soviet America
Fazed
Totally not austritaria
The Land of Wannabes
Marijuana 4 the masses
The region of masculine commoners
Moon base of earth
Zen Buddha
Portugalia
Union of the working class
Enloe
Atlaea
Revolutionary International
Bearopia
CYOC
Terrarium Wilderness
Dravallian Fatherland
Roots
Atlantic
Derplands
Excelonivus
The land of godess and rulers
Lancerland
Warp space
Greater Langovia
Jewish Nationalist Union
The Weast Pacific


Clearly no one has the courage to stand in our way.

Nope. Just a quick snatch and grab, trying to work out the cobwebs off my triggering skills. It did that well enough, as the next nights work snagged us some wins.

So it was a training mission. The kind of invader activity normally associated with attacks on regions this tiny.

Pretty much. That was what I was doing in the Free Land.

Really, it was a 'readiness maintience' mission, rather than strictly speaking 'training', since there was no one who didn't know how to raid on that op.

I also happen to enjoy raiding itself. The paperwork you'll need to sue me is over there. *Points*

The defenders remain bewildered as The Black Riders again charge through NationStates, claiming a further 27 victims. Meanwhile, the defenders successfully detag a mere 2 regions. They clearly care, but lack the ability to do anything about it. A handful of delegates also feel victim this update.

Troops involved were General Halcones, Suchasmallthing and Ravarx.

The 27 captured regions are:

Koprulu
Soviet supreme
The South Mexican Drug Cartel
MAADAJ
Potassiamia
The Romulan Star Empire
The Unified States of the Zion Empire
Gods Holy Empire
Darwin Allied Republics
The Caliphate
The Land of Rocks
Prince Edward Islands
Space Time Rift
Portuguese Empire
The information center
Awesome is the word
The United Aliance of Wolcott

Yep, you're right Mall. In fact, I figured I could probably tag the lot in only 3 weeks if I hit it hard. Then the defenders would look at the mountain of detags awaiting them, and would faint. Then we win. And Koth, I have retagged regions before, actually. It's nice to freshen up one's artwork.

Friday 11th October, Minor update

This time, defenders gained a little courage, as The Black Riders again charged through NationStates, in quite a stampede. Despite the defenders' best attempts, 16 regions fell to The Black Riders. Many delegates with overthrown, including relatively old ones. Check out Rastanarnia and Farkistan. A 140 day old delegate and a 286 day old delegate, respectively. For those who have the belief that our raids are pointless and mean nothing, take a look at The Caliphate. We recently hit them, and they didn't like it. Even caused damage, seeing that they couldn't remember the original WFE. Well, we just hit them again. Means something, yes? Defenders could do nothing to prevent the damage.

Troops involved were General Halcones, Camo5768, Koth II, Suchasmallthing, The Realm of No Return, and Coraxion.

The 16 victims as follows:

The Seven Kingdoms
The Republic of Nationstates
Lake Ilopango
Battleship Park
The Caliphate
The Imperial Union of Anzia
ZZ 9 Plural Z Alpha
The Shadow of Mordor
Rastanarnia
Democratica
Anglacova
The United States of Abroham Lincoln
Warzone Africa
Utilitas
Jewish Nationalist Union
Farkistan
