This is why I advocate ignoring TI's gloat posts. Trigger was off. Honest mistake. Should we start reporting all misses by raiders? That could be illuminating, and worthy of salt to boot. Yeah, you got your banjections, are you happy now? Tsk.

If you reported all their misses you'd have Onder sized forum posts as an update :P

Failures due to pure incompetence are victories for neither side, and the recent surge of claiming the other's incompetancies for victories while continues to have plenty of your own is unbecoming of both. It would behoove you both better to focus less on when the other fails and more on when you yourselves succeed, as well as to acknowledge and take responsibility for failures when they occur and are called out.

Unfortunately, all that seems to be more and more of a radical concept these days.

So, TGW and TBH are in agreement on that? Great! I look forward to both organizations leading by example.

TGW , You can start by taking down a particular inflammatory dispatch even? Put that money where that mouth, errr, typing is eh? Show me, don't tell me.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that one Warden's opinion doesn't constitute the official opinion of the Wardens.

Which you should know, having recently joined them.

Souls the hit nail on the head, errors happen in the field and both sides are guilty of chalking them up as huge examples of incompetence which is pretty lame to read so cut it out.

August is not a Grey Warden, but I personally have no intent to request a take down that piece of world-class reporting.

A good example might include cutting things like "Now Under Permanent Control by The Invaders" when ya' cut and run at a liberation without even finishing the purge. It helps reduce the opportunities to be mocked when you don't hand it straight to them.

We began this occupation to put up a password and coerce a Security Council resolution to pass. The unexpected liberation attempt that occurred is the cherry on top. If you could think strategically like us, you'd find that there's nothing left in the South Pacific for us to burn. Four years of influence was already used up with putting up the password (notice how it intentionally makes a mockery of the Security Council) and purging over 200 natives and defenders. If you're a little concerned by the WFE wording "Now Under Permanent control by The Invaders" like all the other natives are, then you can go through our past temporary occupations and see the exact same thing here.

Aye, and the fact that you're pointing me to the WFE tool instead of the WFE of a barren region says basically exactly what my point was.

I said earlier, lead by example, YOUR example, in YOUR org.

I will be more blunt than Knot. I understand your reputation is very important to you. I, nor anyone in the Invaders, cares one bit about it. Kindly take your own advice, and run your own organization.

Thank you for your visit.

If you weren't already aware, we've issued the above service bar for the occupation of the South Pacific (many thanks to LTC Varax and LTC Elfine) and are currently heading back to base. Thanks to everyone (including defenders!) for making this operation a massive success.

I agree. At least The South Pacific's palmetto looks a bit more pixelated though.
