I have mixed feelings about TBR being back. Congratulations on the raids, I guess. It's good to see that your organization has that kind of staying power. Not too supportive of what you do, but I respect you for your military skill.

Haha. Yeah, I was once TBR. They did a great job of teaching military game play, and it was fun. I just lean more defender now.

Standardized and mechanical was the flavor of the 2nd era of TBR, it's only natural it crosses over to the 3rd era. It's not for everyone, i suppose.

What is tagging other than militarized advertising? I absolutely agree that standardization is natural. The only reason for doing otherwise would be to annoy natives of specific regions.

Si. Putting unique wfes on every tagged region would be an annoyance for all involved. The natives would be more likely to take offense, it takes to much time for the raiders, etc.

In their defense, TBR actually conquered large regions a few times. Tagging is practice and easy publicity, and therefore the go-to operation when nothing major is happening.

Tag raids can be made to be more creative and non-standardized, though.

Though, as someone who regularly tagged in the old TBR, i quite enjoy the style.
