Everybody loves the idea of the "Grey" Wardens until the Wardens do exactly as they've advertised.

Read the opening post, our doctrines, and logs of our operations. Your expectations on what we are "supposed" to do may need some realignment.

Defenses and liberations are the stupendously overwhelming majority of what we do (quite literally every 12 hours with very few exceptions). Anything outside of that is very rare.

(also, four? In which time frame?)

Firstly, I was referring to TGW invading regions, not defending or liberating them - as in Super Reich I, Warzone Europe, and the KAISERREICH "Protektorates". And secondly, all of these regions were raided (and the "Protektorates" refounded) this year, which means the past 100 days.

I don't know of many other defender orgs that would condemn refounding or invading Nazi regions. Whenever we raid someplace, it's always been a warzone, invader region, or Nazi region in my experience, all of which are fair game as far as I see it. It's not unjust nor is it unwise; it's showing the darkspawn we're not afraid to take the fight directly to them. I was in TITO for 3 years and we did the same thing there. It's not a feature unique to the Wardens nor do I find it unusual or reprehensible in any way.

There is no disguise, you are entirely wrong. And there is also no need for disguise and no need hypocrisy. Ironically our fortress state is one of the most candid entities within this game, everyone knows us and everyone knows what to expect from us. Unlike many others, we see the game for what it is and not for what it could be. What you call hypocrisy here, is nothing more than a theme and game-based ideology that continues to touch the heart of its people, everything beyond that is just politics and an amazing multitude of factions warring over influence or the control of GCR. Welcome to the reality of this game, son.

But for now, let's just congratulate The Order of the Grey Wardens for their recent successful operations against undesirable elements in this game.

The Wardens have my full support for their raids against these regions. It's good to see that many others join the fight against some the most objectionable userites. o7

I can also add that the Renegade Islands Alliance Special Forces (which I lead for a year) also has a very similar ideal. Has had it for long before I was Security Officer. o/

They can be claimed as such quite easily, as they are unprovoked, and hostile in nature. and what about Super Reich I as well? That was most certainly an invasion.

Ok, but founding a region isn't an invasion. An invasion involves taking over the WAD position with hostile intent. Besides, it's hardly unprovoked.

You mean you seriously believe that Kaiserreich is a Nazi region? And there is still the Super Reich I business to be explained, regardless of Kurnugia's recent actions.

They're on the CAIN list of Nazis. They use Nazi propaganda and symbols on their forums and in dispatches. They work with other Nazi regions. So yeah, KReich are Nazis. Sorry.

So? That list has been repeatedly discredited. I expect actual reasons.

No. Just no. Every single word in those two sentences is completely and utterly ridiculous. And even if you are of the opinion that I don't deserve an explanation, are you of the opinion that no one deserves an explanation?

I'm not too upset about the refounds. It's not defending, but it's mostly the fault of someone in our organization, yes. But with regards to Super Reich I, I am not the only interested party:

Think Kitzerland was joking ;) You were literally just arguing with them about KReich being nazi's. If the only person you have to back you up is someone you've just met in this thread then you need to stop before you do yourself and your region any more harm.
