Not bad, not bad. Hopefully the founder doesn't wake up too soon

Lol wut? TBH succeeded in toppling an 8 year delegate. That was the entire plan, beginning and end. Better luck actually defending against them next time.

As Field Marshal of The Black Hawks, let me officially confirm that we are, believe it or not, not so stupid as to try and hold a region with an active founder. You may have even noticed that most of the forces used in the assault immediately returned to TBR, and no further reinforcements arrived, meaning it'd go back tonight no matter who showed up or was ejected.

As has been said, our entire goal with this operation was achieved the instant the region updated - a delegate of over 8 years was toppled, and a little more chaos was sowed in the world. Putting up a cool Harry Potter themed WFE (which also specifcally mentioned the aforementioned goal of the operation, as did the report) was merely a bonus.

"Better Luck Next Time" has no application to an operation which literally went off as well as we could have wished.

Condolences for losing the region.

Condolences are not needed. Nothing of value was lost...by us.

Still, thanks, anonymous puppet of a player who's been around enough to know about NS++ issues. Glad to not know who cares.

I'm not anonymous, I'm Pete. And I'm a creation of similar such moves by the raiders recently. I'm here to stay. My identity isn't that hard to figure out, I'm not working super hard to hide it. This is the last time I'll reference my past self because it is from this point on irrelevant.

Also yes, I realize your only ambition was to unseat the delegate. Not because you gain anything, just that it would frustrate someone or make them sad, and you can. So I suppose a more sincere post would be condolences that you feel this is the best way to get enjoyment out of a game with such creative possibility.

Raiding has a lot of creative possibility, Pete. Condolences that you'll never experience that.

It was nice to see TBH make a return to Forest

Press the move button. Smash the regions, khun khun khun.

For a nation named after Littlefinger, you have surprisingly little excitement for the greater web of plans, sleepers, spies, and soldiers employed to deliver those crafty enough to wield them into power. you say we don't gain anything, I say we gain we gain what everyone else here hopes to gain - entertainment. Or if I'm being more dramatic, I say we gain fear, and a growing name, a little more chaos in the world. After all -

"Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, are given a chance to climb. They refuse, they cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is."

And all ladders start with a rung low to the ground. Sometimes the higher ones cannot be seen from start.

I'll add, that reply is below you. You should well know that, while that may apply to simple operations like these, it doesn't begin to apply to others. Or long-term agendas.

Congrats on the operation TBH!

For someone who is harping on the creativity of the game, your thinking is very narrow. But I guess that what happens when your favorite thing to do in NS is change your flag.

I was about to quote Asy and say thanks, but realized that'd be unfair to all the others. so - Thanks to all that have posted congratulations. This was a fun little exercise to bring our name up while we're in more long term maneuvers, a minimal use of resources, and a great opportunity to build rapport with some regions friendly to us. And my endocount in TBR rose a bit post-operation

I hope you all enjoy what we have coming to the table in the months to come.

You don't strategize anymore. You don't use stealth anymore. You use tools to tell you what time to press a button and then you press that button. Raiding is no longer art, it is programmed. Posters are complementing the Black Hawks, they should be complimenting your updating tool. All you do is join the WA and wait for it.

If raiding returned to using stealth and disguising raids as native coups through sleepers it would indeed be a much more intelligent and entertaining affair, and my Baelish-self would probably enjoy it. You're much more Joffrey than Petyr at the moment, not in the past, but certainly now.

And for "not every operation" it sure seems to be every operation. I emplore you to prove me wrong, though.

@Jakker: Was having a hard time finding a mockingbird design I liked. I assure you, I'll be up to a lot more than changing my flag in the future. I've come here (Gameplay) to be a constant anti-raider voice.
