This was the offical statement on the TWP takeover. Someone sending harassing TGs to you? File a GHR. I can confirm that not a single person in DEN asked to send g-rated insults to you or any other person. If you would like to provide the names of the puppets, we would be more than happy to look into it ourselves. But please do remember, we can not control who puts up our flag and pretends to be part of DEN, especially in a high profile raid, such as TWP takeover. If you or anyone else reading this finds a nation impersonating a DEN soldier, feel free to contact me, or another ranking member of DEN, by TG, and we will take the steps necessary to attempt to correct the issue. Your cooperation is appreciated.

When The Music’s Over and all is said and done, we’ll hit up the Whiskey Bar, have a few drinks and Tell All The People about what this place once was, Who Scared You, The Spy, and how you too could get raided Someday Soon.
So give a nod to the Unknown Soldier left behind, Get Up And Dance a bit, and keep an eye out for the raiders going around on a Moonlight Drive... but not TBR.
For all that remains of this now is a hauntingly empty sound, a Ghost Song of sorts.
All Doors must close someday.
TYE: Good evening Gest. How are you today?
Gest: I’m fine. How are you?
TYE: Very well, thank you. To start us off, could you perhaps describe DEN as a region and, by extension, an organisation?
Gest: DEN was an old raiding region that had become defunct. It is currently being reimagined in a manner that will honor its previous legacy but also be its own distinct entity in the modern environment.
TYE: Why DEN? Why did you choose to revive DEN instead of creating a new region with a new name?
Gest: A DEN revival was always in the back of my mind since the old home region was refounded, admittedly I hadn’t worked out how that was actually going to happen. I choose DEN because the story of it being occupied by a defender fossil for 9 years appealed to me.
TYE: Before and during the transition from The Black Riders, what did you originally envision DEN as then, both as a region and an organisation?
Gest: A large self-sufficient region with a pure raiding worldview.
TYE: What do you envision DEN as now, both as a region and an organisation?
Gest: I envision effectuating the above goals. A large pure raiding region is clearly necessary. Recently the defenders have suggested that all raiders become Cat Burglars and/or confine ourselves to the Warzone Ghetto. A strong raiding region is necessary to denounce any traitors on the raiding side who would agree to such nonsense.
TYE: DEN’s first occupation was of Paradoxia. Why was Paradoxia chosen, and what are your feelings on the occupation as a whole?
Gest: Knot/Ivo recommended it. For the limited resources available to us at the time, the occupation went well. The point lasted long enough to have the embassies close and repelled several joint defender-roleplayer liberations.
TYE: DEN’s second occupation was of Power is Rising. Why was Power is Rising chosen, and what are your feelings on the occupation as a whole?
Gest: Shadoke want to occupy a region. However the defenders choose not to defend because according to them it was a raider aligned region. In actuality the region said it would both defend and raid. The occupation went well, the region was refounded and thus we liquidated a small nest of apostates.
TYE: DEN’s third occupation was of Japan. Why was Japan chosen, and what are your feelings on the occupation as a whole?
Gest: Japan was chosen because people are suckers for well-known names. Occupation went well, point got to ban several defenders and there was a strong allied response to our request for aid.
TYE: What would you personally describe as your greatest challenge, in regards to DEN?
Gest: The greatest challenge was the loss of several people in the transition to DEN. Their loss is unfortunate but what was meant to be was meant to be.
TYE: What would you personally describe as your greatest accomplishment, in regards to DEN?
Gest: The creation of a strong nucleus for a large raiding region.
TYE: What are your thoughts about the progress of DEN as a region and, by extension, as an organisation?
Gest: We’ve got a good group of raiders who are showing some good hustle. The framework for a successful raiding region has been laid out. It’s all about building on our gains.
TYE: What are your thoughts about the upcoming wargames?
Gest: The wargames are a good idea. Hopefully the organizers come through and hold the games.
TYE: How do you foresee DEN panning out in the near future?
Gest: In the future I see a 1000 nation region, with 100 non-updaters, and 20 updaters. Note not a guarantee. Life is not about the destination it’s about the journey and how many natives are banned during that journey.
TYE: Do you think there is anything that could be improved in DEN and, if so, what and how?
Gest: More activity, more self-sufficiency, more triggerers, more initiative from the lower ranks.
TYE: Thank you for your time Gest. Goodnight.
Gest: Thank you.

I guess this is what happens when a GCR tries to give the Delegacy to new players, rather than recycling the same tired elite that most regions do.

DEN NEWS AGENCY wrote:Following in the footsteps of Empire and living a coup that Durk could only dream of, DEN, with Brigadier-General Knot taking the lead, pulled off a coup on The West Pacific, a region whose population once numbered over 5000, until Knot was entrusted as the delegate. He revealed his true colours with the passage of the Minor update on the 21st of September, and marked The West Pacific as DEN’s, causing widespread public outcry and horror at what unfolded before their eyes, while they could do nothing but watch.
DEN NEWS AGENCY wrote:Naysayers far and wide scoffed that Knot would not even be able to hold The West Pacific to the Major update, but they were proven wrong. With the aid of Sergeants Tyegëa and North Pacific Spy and Field Marshal Gest – who kept close watch on liberators as they came pouring in to aid the natives – as well as our very own comrades-in-arms – who helped reinforce Knot as delegate – we held them all at bay, quashed the resistance and even expelled the erstwhile emergency delegate, Elegarth. A Pyrrhic victory, but a victory nonetheless in the eyes of many, however fleeting it may seem, but enough to rouse Dalimbar of Empire from his retirement, as he was spotted aiding the natives of The West Pacific.

You, Ramaeus, and Bachtendekuppen are not new, nor were you when you took the Delegacy.
