The Black Riders - The Elite Cavalry of NationStates

[Upper Drizzilia]

Anarchy has been left.

Ixnay is emptied and locked, awaiting some future refound.

That means all those TBR (and UIAF) troops are free now.

Not entirely related, but TBH is alive and well, and out of Canada.

Summer is coming to a close, and considering what I've heard from Riders about things being slow on occasion because it's summer, it sounds like activity might soon become greater. (Even if mine is about to fall off the map!)

Sicarius is recording record numbers of pilers for us in CoF, where we won't be for a whole lot longer.

The question that won't likely be answered is "What's next for raiders and their allies as a whole, and more specifically, what's next for TBR?"

If I was a native of a founderless region, I'd be scared right now.....

Scared. Lol. They prey on the scared. All their occupations are generic. Tell if they take over one of the feeders or TRR. Until then...

Coming from an Eternal Knight this is great.

It's actually be interesting to get every allied raider org to pile somewhere and see how many we could get. Hm...Unibot only has 140 and we cant be ejected... XP

Besides what Drizz Said

[Lexicor]

With a few generalities and distractions it wouldn't be that hard....

It happened not so long ago in Slavia. UIAF and allies with TBR. Not all raiders were involved but numbers were approaching a hundred endorsements, if I rememmeber correctly.

Only ten regions?

[Coraxion]

Only ten regions?

Why only? It requires disciplined group when operating in big Teams. Nobody have extensive experience how to perform as a participating member of numerically big Tag Team. More members, more possibilities for mistakes, especially so when high endo WADs were our first priority targets. Several near misses. Marshal Gest came back to business after watching over Occupation of Anarchy nearly 400 Updates in row and thus was little rusty in triggering. We had also some minor problems with wartech and one Newcomer had to be introduced to the protocols and procedures utilized during Updates.

Aftermath of The raid was Hell. I personally got seriously fucked up when trying make a WFE for those tags.

Anyway, More then Merrier.

Saw you guys missed Atheist Empire though

[Upper Drizzilia]

Hey Cora I didn't lead Operation Fire and Nails; it was Sev.

[Coraxion]

Thx for Correction. Will be corrected immediately.

Add. August 23rd, Minor Update: 7 hits by Cora and Gladio. 30 minutes un-ambitious leisure raid. No Fendas.

* A herald enters and begins to speak. *

The following message was delivered to the members of the Council of Narnia following the brief presence of the so-called 'Elite Calvary of Nationstates'.

From the Office of Fotar the Fox, Lord Regent of Narnia:
Official Statement on the Recent 'Raid' of the Council of Narnia

Fellow Narnians,

When I semi-retired from active duty, I knew all along that, someday, the enemy would seek to take advantage of our slumber and would invade. In today's world, such an action was inevitable without serious restriction and the complete shutting of our borders, something I have never and continue to not support. For this reason, I have remained watchfully active, checking in daily at times, and weekly at others.

Three updates previous, a group of black clad tourists on horseback entered into the citadel of Cair Paravel, our beloved castle and capital. These juveniles removed the Narnian banner from the top parapet, posted closing notices on the doors of our embassies, gratified our front bulletin board, and posed for selfies on our front stoop before riding away as quickly as they came. A number of the delinquents lingered, and were removed forcefully from our boarders, uttering cries about not telling their parents or they may lose access their Facebook and Twitter accounts (whatever those are) for a fortnight.

The damage done by these cowardly youth was extremely limited and has already been repaired. Our scouts had no trouble identifying the prank as coming from the region of the Black Riders, a group known for their pointless entry and rapid departure from foreign regions. Pursuing the matter further would be a waste of time and resources, as these hooligans are not the type to learn and amend their ways. They, or some of their cronies, may someday show up again here, and will certainly be spotted elsewhere in the world. They are not dangerous and are not to be feared, as they can do us no harm.

Moving forward, this small incident has sparked a small renewal in my blood and perhaps, we can start working towards a limited, social-focused rebuilding of our fair land. For that, I thank them. And so, to close, I utter that ancient cry from the glorious past:

Onward! For Narnia! And for Aslan!

* The herald then departs, onward to more important missions and matters. *

[Coraxion]

Lol! *Feeling Genuine Joy when reading that kind Narrative*

Maybe we should provide hard facts on our raids to Narnians and delegate dull paperwork to them, and then their RPing Heralds and Aslans would wrap such Hard Facts into form of artistically high quality, humorous literature and poetry for our Thread.

There are some misconseptions there in The Above Narnian Outcoming, reflected through that awesome Piece of text, but I do not begin correct them.

Unfortunately, For TBR fancy and beautiful forum Comments are in category of secondary priorities. Our narrative is nearly totally based on The Field Action, The organisational Functionality and other, really interesting issues. In Practice.

If this is so unimportant, then why did you take time out of your busy day to come post about it in our thread?

[Sir Lionel]

TBR really brings activity to dying regions.

[Drop Your Pants]

You obviously haven't met Fotar before

Speaking of which......FOTAR YOU'RE RETIRED REMEMBER?

[Vandoosa]

Last night was crazy! are tag raids with 12 updaters rare?

[Gest]

It actually takes more skill with a small inexperienced team. At least with a big team if a newbie misses the jump at least there are others to take place.

I led a two man team into battle. One of them had never raided before. He was te only supporter. We only missed once

I would agree with you that having a small team poses its own challenges, but it sounds like you've never taken part in a larger raid. Gest decided to start going for bigger targets because of the high numbers, which meant more defender activity. As Cora mentioned, timing and such were a little off, but it wasn't like he was going for regions with no delegate like one would with a two person team.

[Coraxion]

@Trick Shot: Skill levels of a big team is not only issue related to successes or failures of a big groups online same time. You're absolutely right generally, but not necessarily when speaking on attacks against WA-Delegates with high Endorsement numbers (Relatively) and with small Endo-cap between the Native delegate and attacking team. Certain type 'Fog of War' can easily ruin things in such situations.

That reminds me that there were once famous 'Pencil Crisis' in Skype, which led failure then and not because of Skill levels, but certain specifically human behavior patterns...

viewtopic.php?p=19772359#p19772359

That Draft Protocol is nearly directly applicable for a Big Raiding teams of a Single Organisation.

*Serious Cora*

@Vandoosa: yes. Hopefully tag teams of 10+ raiders will be new TBR standard in The Future.

Fuck the Pencil Crisis. I was in that one, and it sucked >_<

[Consular]

Oh god the fucking pencils. I have nightmares.

[Venico]

Oh god the fucking pencils. I have nightmares.

We all do...

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

*Guessing* SO many people were typing things in the chat box that the whole screen was writing pencils and no one could see the orders?
