Yes, perhaps a story is in order.

So is that illigal? Because I think its offensive and sabotages the point of this thread.

Ok , well i that case I think that the eternal knights have a point , the old regions have grown to big , stagnant and reliant on that stability ,to want to do anything to change the game.

Exactly why I included the strong, old Defender organizations also, and left out the smaller and/or newer ones living in their shadows (as mentioned earlier, I believe).

Defenders do not truly help regions. They simply discourage the spread of Raider influence. There is a huge difference between the two, and I've never seen a Defender truly in it for the regions in any of those organizations.

All the Defenders who's purpose to help the regions is the smaller ones; the ones with little to no experience or training. They, the true Defenders, cannot rise because of the current powers blocking them.

As for the Raiders, there are actually some Raiders that still raid for the purpose of seeing it through; there are Raider organizations present that destroy regions daily, but TBR covers them up from being noticed. It's a simple fact; they have all become so powerful that they have lost their original intentions.

Had we truly attacked those regions, they wouldn't have survived. I'm interested in region destruction, not scribbling on WFEs. That will accomplish nothing, except training troops and annoying TBR.

Currently, we don't touch anything unless TBR's flag and/or WFE are on it. Until next month, that is. So nobody has anything to worry about until then.

My current job is to eject inactive puppets and replace until I have all my people active. I have already done this 5 times, about to go on a 6th and 7th. There is actually an open Knight and Lord position.

And to Defenders and Raiders alike: don't get used to us placing puppets in regions ahead of time. That is merely a starting tactic to prepare for when we go to Phase 2.

The rhetoric is getting annoying. According to Neph & co., the beginning has been about to start 'soon' since TEK's inception, and I remain unconvinced.

As I've said via TG to you, I've thought of merging armies between us for a larger and more powerful army. The new army would also include a free 'bailout', meaning if you ever want to leave the army you can.

FTFY

But don't forget Luke's magic powers.Oh, and training on how to use those powers from the best in the business. And a lightsaber.

Luke wasn't exactly a David to Jabba's Goliath, so your message doesn't really work.

We would share a army. Something like a 'Darwinish-Eternal Nights' army (please if we do do this, come up with a better name

Actually, I spent a few months training with a small region, hidden, that knows the true art of psychological warfare and stealth missions. I stayed there for a while, training, after I had lost everything. Then, when I was deemed ready, they gave me weapons (tools) and I vanished, preparing my future plans and conquest. I created several regions years later, to scout out my opponents and their methods. I spent 4 months on this, until I felt ready to create my final, permanent region, The Eternal Knights.

Nobody taught me how to fight. I had to spend years learning it myself, slowly crawling my way up, only to vanish, reappear for a few months, and then emerge at full power. My region will soon emerge as I have, fierce warriors with serious plans that will alter the course of history.

This is not my complete history, of course. That will be revealed when we are at full power, after we are well into the plan.
