For the record, no tools were used, just plain old spotting and defending ;)

I consider the brain to be an elite tool.

The Black Riders are most known for their success on major updates. The fact that we still have active riders carrying out operations during minor updates should be a reminder our net of power surpasses that of any other. This like most minor updates are organized on the spot, and should be commended for their success on such instinct based and improvisational planning, something not everyone can achieve. For a team like this which are newer faces in the ranks, it was good experience and good reinforcing of The Black Riders outreach and an example it has more than enough members to carry out constant operations who can both think for themselves and operate for themselves.

They only actually lost regions if they're making any effort to keep them, which they aren't and never do. This trend of keeping regions tagged for weeks is an anomaly; back in the good old days, when defenders were actually defenders and not just liberators, The Black Riders a) wouldn't have been able to tag this many regions this easily because they would have encountered active defender resistance, and b) these regions wouldn't have stayed tagged for longer than a few updates. You're actually doing them a favor by tagging regions they've already tagged -- now they have regions to raid again that don't already have their tags.

As to why you encountered no resistance from either side, it's probably because TBR isn't a defender organization, defenders rarely actually defend anymore, and neither cares at all about you.

TBR enjoys that brand new members take the initiative and conduct raids themselves. And, we really don't care about this new defender organization that popped up. Not really an issue.

Also, on a side note, I personally enjoy the fact that these brand new people took one more region during an update than this supposedly grand, great region, lead by an "old defender/raider". The experience levels show here.

I am aware of all this.

The only reason we tag their regions currently is to train.

Once all my Knights are trained, and the region is fully functioning (mid February), we will begin founderless region destruction.

As for Defenders, we would have seized 6 more if it wasn't for them. So yes, they seem to care about us.

Good luck destroying founderless regions when you straight up say you're going after the only people willing to help you after you're done.

It took you a week to plan a 6 target practice tag raid?

No, I was being sarcastic.

We quickly made a list and went at it 5 minutes before update.

This is not the procedure. Report yourself to TBR Etiquette manual rule #43, One must wait for the report to comment on a raid. Now that the evil has been done, Why are you all using the red flag now? Have you all Forsaken FRADUL for Larezus?

I've got the Laz flag on the first group of switchers, there's FRA flags on others and a few random ones in the mix. And UDL doesn't have a flag :P

I'm training a rookie commander and a newb soldier. It's not so much that we cared about you as much as you made it pretty easy for my new guy that had no clue what he's doing ;)
