Why not start organizing from the start? Set up a clear chain of command. And this way, even if each division only has a pawn or two, we can carry out more of the simple training raids we're doing at the moment. In effect, we're starting smaller. Closer to one-on-one.

So you have no clear purpose and want to ride the fence. I can't believe no one has come up with and tried to carry out this idea before! How unique! Good luck with that.
Haha Iwaku's one of my favorites! But in all seriousness, most of the regions like that are just out for fun. They want to play at both sides as it suits their fancy. We have higher goals. And while they may lean quite raider, especially at the moment, hopefully we can also drive reform in the defenders, among other thing. Also, not being constricted in our tactics opens many more doors for us. We're not afraid to attack raiders, to fight back rather than just defend. Without fighting back, one can only drive off attackers by making it so much of a pain to attack that the give up, and today's defenders certainly are not doing *that.*

Not long, I'll make sure that happens even if I'm retired, if he continues to mess with TBR tags.
Oh, believe me,
we will. Your embassy list is like a shopping cart full of easy-to-take delegate-less regions for training! And while the few we take currently might not be much more than a nuisance, perhaps once every division is up and running we can rival the number of ones you add....

II. If you have to convince other people your plan is realistic then it's probably not very realistic.
Also, admitting you're insane and taking it in stride is cute, but probably not the best way to address people that are doubting your region.
Minor progress is not that hard to make. Eventually we'll hit diminishing returns, but until then even a little is a lot. And we're not expecting a lot yet.
And frankly, we will convince some people with results or a lack of. Hopefully the former. It'll start out slow, but once the few who believe get the train moving, more and more will jump on.
I'm glad everyone is taking interest at least. I'm happy to discuss points, at least as far as I can without sharing secrets, with anyone.
