This was definitely not an instance of collaboration between raiders and defenders, it's true. Perhaps you won't see this particular raiding org collaborate with defender orgs, but collaboration between individual raiders and defenders, or even large groups acting unofficially, isn't unheard of.

In fact, I'm pretty sure you've been on a mission extremely recently where we worked together with some raiders, and their involvement helped things quite a bit. Not going to name it in public, and you shouldn't either, but I bet you could figure it out if you thought hard about it. I'd like to think we could collaborate when necessary, especially on things like ensuring player safety or building a better environment for players.

The Black Hawks Go To Hell (Kinda)


People say it all the time. "Go to Hell, raiders." Unfortunately, as much as we'd love to do that, The Stalker won't let us go to Hell. Not even the Mad King of Hell wants raiders! Which is sad, because we'd all "rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints," to quote the Piano Man himself.

But that's okay. See, we decided that instead, we'd show you the Hell that is all around you. Are you ready for some...

Sil Colony
Imperium of Man
NFL
?

Yes? Let's get started. The best way to show you all the best that Hell has to offer is with a demonstration of the capital vices, the cardinal sins, the infamous seven deadly sins! Not the anime, this time, or the other anime...the real deal.

ENVY, always desiring that of others. Don't you always want exactly what you don't have?
Yes Nice
The Region of Car Lovers

PRIDE - perhaps the least scarce on NS. Here's just a taste:
Pride of Windsor
Uziism is better than Jesusism
The Better Ancapistan

GREED, ah, a favorite of roleplayers, yes?
The Golden Union
Goldus
Mighty Money Monocles

WRATH, because who doesn't get a little angry now and then?
Kill Fascists
The Revenger Federation
Majorkills Wasteland

LUST, well, we're all too familiar with that one.
Horny Group
Loveland

GLUTTONY, because "just one more bite!" [Happy Thanksgiving ( •̀ᴗ•́ )و ̑̑ ]
Foodland
Boss Apples

And last, laziest, but not least, the SLOTH of a single, lazy comeback
The No Yous

There we go, all nicely wrapped up and delivered! Thanks to the following little demons for making this delivery possible:
CiC Red Back
GEN. Ever-Wandering Souls (trigger)
MAJ. Miss Bad Life Choices (moral support)
CPL. Scottfire
CPL. Utsuho
CPL. Woryand
PFC. Industrialen
Gordon Ramsey Hosts Master Chef

To Hell with you all!

Totally Real Photo of Malphe With A Knife


In a surprising turn of events, Malphe, with a herd of angry rats, decided to chase The Black Hawks around NationStates, stealing back cheese and taking revenge for accidentally feeding his cousin Steve to the hawklings. The Hawks managed to escape this angry rat army, returning home to the Nest for a good nap, but not before flying through a few dozen regions and stealing some more cheese.

The adventures of Ursidae; the oversized Bear-Hawk

Image
Ursidae leaps into an unsuspecting region




Since he was a little cubling all Ursidae wanted to do was fly like his Hawk friends, but no matter how hard he would flap and flail his arms he could never manage any more than a few seconds in the air. After a long time trying he started to lose heart, all he had ever known was the life of a Hawk, and a sadness washed over him. Upset at seeing their friend down, the Hawks hatched a plan to give him what he wanted more than anything and they set out to convince the downcast bear to try his hand at flying one last time.

Ursidae was convinced he would fail but a glimmer of hope still remained, and it gnawed at him as the Hawks encouraged him. The hope grew and at last he gave in, plodding over to the same cliff edge where he had failed so many times before. Slowly, the bear raised himself on his hind legs, filled his lungs and took a leap of faith, all the while flapping his arms wildly. With his eyes closed he fully expected to feel the sudden and solid disappointment of the ground greeting him, but it did not come. He opened his eyes to find himself hovering in the air, with all the grace you can expect from a fully grown bear, above the very spot he had stood just seconds ago. Delighted, he didn’t even notice the clearly beleaguered group of Hawks straining their wings to keep him afloat.

Marshalling all their energy, the Hawks guided the bear towards the countless regions they regularly preyed upon. These regions and their Defenders were well prepared for a Bear attack from the ground, but what they did not expect was a sudden Tactical Bear Drop™. Stunned, they could do nothing as the Bear and his Hawk friends soared from region to region, crushing or disregarding any opposition they happened upon. Ursidae's flight was everything and more than he had dreamed of, and he had never been able to achieve as much success as he was now. On the approach to the last region he flung his head back, to take in the stars in the gradually darkening sky, only to be greeted by the sight of his Hawk friends flapping furiously in an effort to keep him in the air. Disappointment welled inside of him, and the Hawks worried for their friend as they came to the last region. With ease they dispatched the inhabitants and claimed it as their own. With the fighting over the Hawk’s attention immediately returned to that of their Bear companion, concerned with how he would be handling the inescapable truth – that Bears can’t fly. Instead, they found him in good spirits, for Ursidae knew he had experienced what no other Bear had and that more importantly, he was a Hawk at heart.
