Anyway, my final words on the matter: They raided, they were tagged "Invader", and taught new members how to raid, hence they were a Raider region, simple as that. We are still not strong enough to face Raider Unity (for now), so why not start with the groups that aren't a part of it? We have to start somewhere, and that was merely the first step on a long journey. It only gets better after this.

Criticism and loophole searching is still welcome, of course, I just won't respond to it

Why not do....hmm. The Coalition of Freedom! Yeah! They're not a part of unity, do them next You've already got some well placed sleepers in high positions, I know it!

Wrong, a region tagged invader is not necessarily a Raider region. And if you say they raided then you don't know what raiding is.

Um... I don't know what raiding is... yet I just destroyed a region with an active founder, password, and non-executive delegate position?

'Kay.

Pretty cool raid.

Cool story bro

Even posting a meme intended to convey a message?

I like crock pots.

Any comment on the loss of your occupation during it's refound?

« 21 day occupation comes to an end! »

Although slightly longer than expected due to some complications, The Eternal Knights, with aid from our allies in Coalition of Freedom and Aura Hyperia, seized and emptied The United Study Group of remaining inactive puppets and natives after the active natives fled to The Remnants of The United Study Group when their founder was deleted. The region, initially seized by Sicarius on a "Stealth Raid", was set for destruction as an easy Raider target. The Defenders later arrived on the scene to clean up, but later left and abandoned the region, only to be seized again by the same organization within a single update after departing. Nephmir and NoblePhnx quickly seized the region before it could be captured again, removed the TEK sleeper from the ban list, and immediately transferred endorsements over to the new nation, calling in reinforcements, without facing any resistance.

No counter-raid or liberation was attempted. (Special thanks to Riftend for unnecessarily manning the ban hammer for a week). When we realized that nobody was going to oppose us, we stopped defending the region altogether, with still no recapture attempted.

The region will be refounded and the puppet transferred to the founder of The Remnants of The United Study Group.

OPPS! Someone forgot to send me a memo it seems. Now look what happened in The United Study Group

Stolen refound! 21 days made meaningless! Early celebration of victory properly crapped on!

I am not ashamed to admit defeat... if that is what you would like to call it.

I feel it important to state what happened and why the refound failed, free of TEK and TBR propaganda.

I was preparing a trigger, yet something came up IRL, and I had to leave and walk away for a few minutes; so I jumped a full minute early while another Eternal Knight attempted to refound the region.

I do not really care about the region; only the natives that were supposed to have it. I've come to expect gloating from TBR, but this:

really concerns me. You would rather the region is lost to TBR hands then us refounding it simply because you despise our organization for past instances that we have since grown out of? I certainly hope you don't speak on behalf of the 5 remaining Defenders in existence.

I would remove the word "Defender" in all forms from your signature. I've met Defenders with no GP experience that I can expect more from.

Had revenge not already been in the making since before this instance, I'd probably say something rash in response to this. However, I will simply say this, as follows, which applies to you and the rest of Halcones' minions:

I know you and your kind feed off of this stuff, so enjoy your celebratory feast and hollow victory. When your region has been brought to its knees next year, It will be a painful reminder that you forgot to store food; and your organization will starve to death, as is the way of the Black Rider.

Not this again come on Nephmir, I thought you got past that fiction phase and moved into reality.

Cora at least is No One's Minion, if recent times have proven anything.

The reality is behind that metaphor; you have to figure it out yourselves. I've foreshadowed what is to come in various metaphors throughout the past few months, but none of you have ever thought to look into the meaning and take them literally.

Criticize away, I'll be listening. Call me a fool, call me ignorant, spread your lies and propaganda; after all, you've had an excellent accomplishment to brag about today.

I am done here.

*Puts on glasses*

"When your region has been brought to its knees next year, It will be a painful reminder that you forgot to store food; and your organization will starve to death, as is the way of the Black Rider."

I *think* he might be saying that by stealing all the n00b recruits, he's going to starve you of new members so as your old raiders slowly leave NS you will die out. However, that only works if he can keep his people, Unlike Me, Shadow, Sap, and Val.

Victory is what keeps the people around. Without victory your people will go tired and will jump ship. And is not the first time that happens to you.

There's at least 8 of us

I respect TBR more than TEK. At least TBR do exactly what they say they do, you just talk in riddles about master plans.

And the Black Riders - and this should not be taken as a criticism - mainly practice a style of raiding where it is almost impossible to lose.

That's what keeps people around, victories do more for morale than anything else.

We practice all styles of raiding. What TEK lacks is a command core, TBR has no central leader, it's run by a General Staff that takes decisions by vote.
