The Black Hawks | Still Winning

[Iskodra]

Am missin chillin with the hawks....
When is the next RaiderCon

[Indo-Malaysia]

Who ordered the raid on The Radiant?

I need to give them a huge pat on the back and cookies for ending (hopefully) Brads fixation with having messing up the Radiant Republic/Novus Lucidum lot.

I must ask though, was it a random or did he start fooling with you lot?

[b]The Black Hawks were in need of some salt after getting a ghost problem in The Nest. Thankfully NationStates is full of salt, so the Hawks flew by to get some. Thanks for the salt!

Do you need Sugar next? Flour? Eggs? Milk? just go to the darn supermarket.

Who ordered the raid on The Radiant?

That would be me, though it was a refound sniping based on observation & planning to grab the place after we are done in Westphalia.

It's appreciated

Since Souls isn't here to give the "Outlive our enemies, TBH forever spiel"...
Basically, back during the first few days of the Westphalia raid last year, Brad chose to generally make an ass of himself (I can't remember if he did stuff first or we posted on his RMB first) and going on about stuff about making agreements or some junk to not be raided. Spent a couple hours on our Discord and "chatting" in VC at the time, before one of Council (probably Souls) got sick of him and booted him. Subsequently we mostly forgot about him, except to make jokes about how annoying Brad was, except when he CTEd and the region nearly became raidable (darn password). About last week or so I noticed the region was potentially raidable, what with him being out of region/inactive & low influence level, so I started watching the region off-and-on hoping we could burn it after Westphalia, when I noticed last night it was being refounded (not sure by who, would that be you by any chance?) and staked it out to nab it.

Edit: Black Hawks forever, we always outlast our enemies and all that (can you tell I'm not good at writing propaganda?).

I think Novus Lucidum (aka ex Radiant Natives who were sick of being founderless and open to raids) noticed the same as you. They wanted to screw him over as whenever brad comes back after 6 months he always starts giving grief out which doesn’t exactly make him very liked. Plus they found out he trashed Sparrow. At least it meant I didn’t have to bother with a second-rate NS ‘war’... again

Heh, fair enough

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Decent summery; I’d add the bit where he tg bombed us early on, we hit the radiant back of course, and that got one or two of his ministers to join our discord and basically ask “so what did brad do now?”


“Blah, blah, we’ll still be here when you’re founderless.”

[Lord Dominator]

I legitimately forgot about that part

[Indo-Malaysia]

What kind of stuff were you getting sent anyways?

[Latrovia]

Interesting stuff TBH!

[Azaelai]

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

What better way to send of VI than with a spelling run, using a WFE based on it's own.

We'll miss you, VI.

[Armaros]

And there goes a fine JP. A classy way to honour it.

[Lukatonia]

Rest in peace VI. We will never forget you.

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

And, I almost forgot, a warm welcome to it's replacement, which comes with it's own ready-made theme song!

To many fun times ahead, Devide by Zero.

[Woryand]

RIP VI...

Two things:
1. Now I have to train my fingers to stop typing in 'Violet I'. Argh. This is going to make prepping puppets very annoying.
2. Please tell me that we get an equally good wfe on DBZ as the one on VI.

[RiderSyl]

I remember jumping from Violet Irises back in 2014, when TBR wasn't updating and I could go over and assist TBH in their ops.

Goodbye VI, and welcome to the fold, DBZ.

You should have raided VI to get the V in the spelling run..

OH! I just though of this.. with the new update shuffle my favorite player created early updating war zones like Deziat and Deathwatch might not be trophy hits anymore..
