Raids??

[Hostanea]

I have heard people discussing 'raids'. What are these and how does one participate in them?

[Caribica]

Raids are basically when some dickish region like the Black Riders moves a bunch of their nations to another region, those nations then manipulate that region's politics, get themselves into positions of power and declare the region belongs to the region they moved from.
Don't participate in them, it's honestly a sickening thing.

[RPGers]

Raiding is where many nations, in the WA, move into a region and endorse each other. When they get enough endorsements they become delegate, where they then ban all of the original nations and change the world factbook (most of the time) to say that they have raided the region
It can be fun, but defending is also,
you endorse the current delegate to stop the raiders
The downside to raiding is that it can get you many enemies,
but it's a lot more fun
Luckily I have lots of moral, so I have never done raiding (I have done defending though)
there is my non-bias report

Que the angry comments...

Ah, so you're a member of them. Tell me how saying that raiding destroys regions that want autonomousness is biased?

The destroying regions part is slightly correct,but calling us all dicks ...not so accurate and he has the choice to pick either side don't tell people what they can and cannot do. Have a nice day

And now, someone who's objectively participated in a raid.

Raiding is the tactic of switching the WA delegate status of one nation and handing it over to another, with the intent of spreading the word of a region when tagging and 'annexing' or trying to have fun in terms of an occupation of a larger region. Natives (AKA the people in the region before Raiders) love to argue about the unfairness of raiding and how there should be an impossible 'opt-out', though occasionally there are natives who don't argue about morals and stuff and can usually be seen talking to the often laid back raiders that invaded them in the first place. That is especially true if the objective was never to refound the region as a large trophy.

It's a whole heap of fun and entertainment, the downside is you'll be somewhat shunned by anyone not participating in GamePlay.

Speaking of, this belongs in the subforum Gameplay

If WA delegate controls are turned off they can't do anything, so...

If you're calling NS raiding 'sickening', then you don't know what 'sickening' truly is.

You're heartless! Think of all the children!

Dismantling regions is pretty terrible, mein freud.

Okay, it being 'pretty terrible' is something I won't contest.

I'm just done with this whole "NS raiding is some inhumane crime on the grandest scale" nonsense.
Some adjectives are better saved for the actual atrocities that exist in the world.

According to almighty Raideron, raiding, native displacement to the dark and cold gulags of TRR, regional destruction, WFE graffiti, mockery and refoundings are perfectly MORAL things to do. Everyone else who says that is immoral are heretics or insane.

[Laanvia]

Basically, raiding is a thing where a bunch of people in the WA move into a region where either the Founder has been deleted or CTEd or where Executive controls are turned on, then hey proceed to endorse a selected member of their, er, platoon, and elect that person delegate.
It's a pretty selfish thing to do, considering they destroy sometimes years of hard work.

But then I remember that time that TBR got raided in one of their regions and they hated it. They got so angry...

Don't join the invasion game, it's a waste of time.

[Revall]

Don't join the invasion game, it's a waste of time.

Or do join because it is one of the most entertaining things to do on NS and you have a blast working with the raiders you meet most of whom are

[New Carloso]

Don't get involved in it. Your better off joining the roleplaying side of the game. This is conducted on the International Incidents and other related part of the forum. In my opinion, much more fun as it involves character building and actual war, diplomatic meetings, peace talks etc. etc.

GP does have war, peace talks, and diplomatic meetings. Only real difference is that GP makes a much larger splash

I RP a couple GP characters. This nation for instance is a character named Nephmir, a well intentioned but slightly misguided warrior that thinks he knows what's best for natives, and desires to rule them.

Embassy construction and meetings on offsite forums, as well as signing alliances and military pacts are pivotal to Gameplay.

War can be declared and it takes teamwork and cooperation within each organization to mobilize, as that is what it all comes down to.

Please at least try it before misleading people on it.

Calling all raiders dicks is not telling people what they can and cannot do. For people contemplating becoming raiders, it is merely providing them advice on how to continue being respected.

The questions asked in the OP are:

1) What are raids?
2) How does one participate in them?

Nothing else has been asked by Hostanea since. Take the RP vs GP agendas elsewhere; they don't belong here. If you're not answering the original questions, or any follow-up from the OP, there's no need to post. We really don't need to see roleplay vs gameplay round 9001.

But Sedge, do you know how many rounds that is?

IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!1!!!1!1!!11!1!1!1!1

Okay, I'll leave now.
