A well deserved and well earned title. "The world's gonna know your name," because way too few do at present.

"Just you wait," world. Jay is gonna kick your ass :P

Sygian, thank you for you service to the region. I know other stuff has been on your plate for a while now, and I was on your ass for not doing your jobs for most of it, but you've still certainly done a lot for the region. Good luck with life, brother.

To the native regions of the world: When push comes to shove, we'll send a fully armed battalion to remind you of our love!

Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat dat da ya da!

Jay, syg, congrats
Stop giving misogynistic abusers a platform. Anyone who sides with Tiktok Star Andrew Tate even 1% of what he says will be treated as enemy who should be shamed out of society. Impressions+Views+Videowatches=$. Nothing he says is new or revolutionary. I don't care if he said "some good stuff", it's still bad because: the more you watch him, the more ad revenue MONEY and algorithm BOOSTS you're giving him to traffick victims. And don't say the victim lied, a young man stupidly told me that the victim confessed to lying, I told em to link me proof, articles or the Audio of her confession, he googled and found 0 proof 0 articles, and he realized he was spreading fake rumors he heard and BELIEVED without fact-check. Don't brand victims as liars without GOOGLING. Debated here

Hey, nice to see TDV running with our friends at The Black Hawks! Even if we're not doing so well in our home region, it's nice to see our troops, Besieger Samsonyte and Executioner/Hawk Qonon getting some native regions! I'll be posting on our thread to thank you guys! It's nice to have someone to work with, so to all in the council at The Black Hawks, thanks for giving us a chance! I'll be posting more about it on our gameplay thread momentarily.

A wild Hawkbear awakens from its slumber.


Many know of the Owlbear, a monstrous hybrid born from the hubris of wizards of days gone by. Very few, however, speak of their lesser-known cousin, the Hawkbear. As the name implies, these creatures are an amalgamation of two animals, each already dangerous in their own right, with the blend only serving to heighten their terrifying nature. While their Owlbear relatives are- pardon the pun- night owls, Hawkbears are decidedly diurnal, often striking at travelers in broad daylight. Why, then, do so few tell tales of encountering these beasts? A part of the reason, of course, is that their numbers are fewer than those of many other threats one might find, but some say that it goes beyond this: Due to their highly aggressive nature, it is commonly accepted that so few see a specimen of this species and live to tell the tale that their activities are underreported. It goes, then, without saying that if one happens to encounter one of these creatures, one's best recourse is to run far and fast.

Rampaging Hawkbears:
Corporal Panzer Vier, trigger
Lieutenant Captain Alexander
PFC The Great Empire Of The People
PFC Cre Ones

Towns razed: 16
Order Of The Democratic States
The Lunch Table
Storm Nation
Oceanis
The Official Army Of Antarctica
United Worldwide Socialist Nations
Soviet Space Bees
The Independent States Of The Arctic Sea
Randomregion

The Army Of The World

I mean, to be fair
Given my complete lack of raiding activity over the past half year, and general slump for a good half year past that, it's not immediately apparent. Besides, I'm rust-ridden enough that I may as well be new :blush:

The Black Hawks trumpet their victory as they haul the native salt and tears back to their nest

Every native in the Philippines liked fendas a lot.
But The Black Hawks who flew just north of the Philippines did not.
The Black Hawks like raiding, and burning down regions.
Now please, ask why.
Everyone quite knows the reason, it could be perhaps, that the updates are fun.
It could be the allies, throw a great party.
But I think the most likely reason of all, was that The Black Hawks, are the best raiders of all.

This raid made possible by our allies in The Roman Empire and The Imperium Of Agia Germania

Hawks of the sky:
Lieutenant Raionitu, Point
Sergeant Serbero, Trigger
Lieutenant Captain Alexander
Sergeant Cheku
Corporal Utsuho
Corporal Xhakhaslovakia
Corporal That One Nation Part Two
Private First Class Jack Reacher Dictatorship
Private First Class The Great Empire Of The People
Private First Class Cerello
Private First Class Axalen
Private First Class Lord Dominator
Private First Class Felt Karpit

Romans of the ground:
Emperor Plagentine
Decurion Hired Contractor II
Centurion Thorn1000

Cavalry of the raid:
Strategos Phobos
