The Black Hawks | Still Winning

[Devi]

Unbearably bad.

[Fauxia]

Just more proof that raiders are the worst people.

/s...maybe

[Bjourn]

The Hawks glanced back and forth between Penny and Steak, both of whom were wielding flashy lightsabers and growling at each other. The two fought because Steak utterly refused to say, “Thank you, Penny”. Steak was a good fighter; one could say that he had the moves…. like Jakker. Soon, Penny punched Steak and dabbed. So, Steak ran and tried to find a place to hide. The Hawks decided to search Nationstates for a secret safe haven for Steak where he could spend the rest of March hiding from the Evil Bot known as Penny 2.0.

Luckily, the Hawks managed to accomplish that task and they found it here Hawkie Safe Haven

In the dead of night, the goose detective led a patrol of little hawklings on a wild spree of invasions and looting. Notable acquisitions include your Delegacy, WFE, and your Cheetoes! As tribute to Penny, we vow to tag your region with our flag and give our thanks to the good bot.

Congrats on the raid!

Huh, a year ago I would have never expected to see Zizou in TBH.

Once upon a major update, while I raided, staying up late,
In the Jump point sitting quiet, raider puppets lie there-
While I waited, nearly napping, suddenly there came a moving,
As of wardens gently chasing, chasing at my raiding target.
“’Tis some fenda,” I muttered, “chasing at my raiding target—
Only this and nothing more.”

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in Devide By Zero;
And each retired raiding hero wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished for "go";—surely I would get to crow
From my raids I cease of sorrow for the lost Major—
For the swift and active raider whom Hawks do cross Major—
In LOA, to some, their favorite raider.

Deep into that region's ranks, expecting fendas, jumping, flanking,
Endoing, dreaming dreams no fenda ever dared to dream before;
But sitting on the border, the trigger gave no order
And the only word there in the discord was the whispered word, “Major?”
This I whispered, and an echo messaged back the word, “Major?”—
Merely this and nothing more.

Open here I flung the order, with many a jumper to transport her,
In there stepped a unknown Hawk of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least roll call made they; not a jump or trigger stayed they;
But, with mien of GEN or SGT, lurked above my raiding channel—
Lurked upon a puppet of mine just above my raiding chat—
Lurked, and chat, and nothing more.

Then this unknown hawk beguiling my bored jumpers into smiling,
By the funny and stern decorum of the countenance it struck,
“Though you mistake me for a duck," I sent, “art sure no fender,
Chasing grim my ancient mender, wandering from the minor war—
Tell me what thy name and rank, if thou art no schmuck!"
Quoth the Major, “Fendas suck.”

Can I ask why members of TBH, which happens to include a former Islander, decided it was perfectly okay to move nations into XKI and troll our RMB for three pages? This isn't very classy TBH, not cool.

I hear ya. We were in VC and were bored. I brought up moving to XKI and it kind of spiraled from there. I take responsibility for it and I apologize about that.

Well, thanks for the apology Jakker I appreciate it. It just really caught me off-guard when I was spending time with family and got interrupted to deal with it.

Totally. Didn't mean to mess up your RL stuff. I figured we would get banned quickly and didn't really think through it.

I don't understand you raiders you raid you destroy and a this mad, bad mentality gives you fun! Red Back the reason I wanted to condemn you cause you raided and now you are promoting new nations to raid and its a shame that you are spreading a mentality of hate. Why don't you make TBH a defender if that happens and you stop raiding the same movement I will draft 3 proposals in WA 2 to remove your Condemnation and 1 to commend your region. If you raid for fun then defend and that's also fun. There are Lone Wolves United , The Invaders and even your 2 allies The North Pacific and Europeia. So defending will give you some pride that you are doing something good. At-least your self-respect will increase. TBH will get a good name for defending.

We appreciate your passion, Whole India. It's players like you that keeps us going. I agree with you that pride and self-respect is important. With that said, I would argue that TBH has maintained a good name and still exists after 15 years because of our commitment to raiding. If we were to shift to defending, where would the fun be in that? Raiding plays an important role in the game and defending would virtually not exist if raiding was not present. Plus, we have so many super cool people in TBH that I am fortunate to connect with everyday and I am thankful that raiding has brought all of us together.

Considering the appalling quality of your attempted Condemnation that’s hardly an inducement to give up raiding.

But raiding innocent regions gives you fun right? So either stop raiding cause its someone's hard work. It takes about 2 days to create a region's RMB that can attract people. It takes a lot time for having atleast 10 members who are active. I have experienced it all. Lasagna was in a worst state with about 200 puppets of You nations and many opposition leaders talking that those puppets have rights and blah blah blah... But if you want to raid then raid that TNP its a challenge from me you cannot even achieve that. Raiding small innocent regions if that gives you fun then Finish The Invaders, finish Lone Wolves United. Finish those all raiders. Who fears your organization? Well it isn't even a organization. In my words its terrorism!
Its a shame on you Jakker. You could have been the best defender beating Glen Rhodes! Whenever a new nation is born he/she has 2 choices either go on the good side or bad side. I may seem a philosopher to many for saying this but Jakker if you are retired then leave TBH. I will make sure that you get what actually deserve and that is respect. Your ally regions give you respect right? TNP had the Majority which voted for your Condemnation. If you say its a mere game then I will say you have a small point of view and please see the broader point of view is raiding all? Attacking and banning nations which lived in that region for a long time like is fun? If that's your goal then give the WAD executive powers and then play the game. I know you will not do that but attacking regions is fun for you?

Whole India, I don't know how you could do this. Glen Rhodes would never tolerate of any raiding behaviour. You have tarnished your reputation among defenders and your words now ring hollow. Glen Rhodes would be ashamed of you invoking his name.
