Well, in that case, I'll think I'll switch to KS-40. Looks better, performs better, has less R/D bias, made in Atlantian Oceania, and might make your saucepan engage in high-quality sports-related roleplay. You have been warned. :P

From what I've heard, HyCom is planning to split off and be their own thing again, though I question how The Never Raiding General will pull that off. Ultimately, though, I think we've got to give a big thanks to Shadoke. I didn't think anybody could have killed Firehelm, its successor, and Hydra Command, that effectively. It's truly a masterclass in destroying multiple darkspawn hives.

The Order of the Grey Wardens
You tried. We tried harder

Image
The Black Hawks' hopes and dreams going up in flames


Goooood Moooooorning Gameplay

Hey, this is not a test. This is rock and roll. Time to rock it from the Warzones to Spear Danes.

On this morning's broadcast, we've got some exciting news for all you freedom fighters, darkspawn bashers, and fun lovers. Hawks, man, they really tried to go big this time. Got a whole group together, all their darkspawn friends, and they really went for it. Messy trigger, lots of untrained misses, but they got it. Damn it, they got it. Those blight-ridden fiends pushed the envelope and just got it. They must've thought they had it, they must have. However, we're not keen to give darkspawn their fun, here on Radio Warden. We're all about ruining their fun and having a good time doing it, and boy did we do it. I mean, damn, we really showed those fiends today who's boss.

It was a simple mission, really. Seventeen Wardens took off in the bird for the LZ, guns loaded and triggers ready.

[radio interference]

I'm sorry folks, I was mistaken. Fifteen Wardens took off in the bird for the LZ, with First Warden Roavin still asleep and Daddy Benevolent Thomas lost in the BBQ Sauce. Nonetheless, fifteen wardens took off for the LZ, joined by about thirty of their closest friends. Flying low, the defensive forces came in hard and fast on the Monarchist Entente, blasting darkspawn positions apart with ease. Although one bird lagged behind and arrived late, everyone still succeeded in landing. After landing and clearing a safe zone, Wardens set up a DMZ and began pushing out. Assisted by all their allies, Darkspawn positions were easily blown apart.

Darkie sure didn't see this coming, that's for sure. Checking the gunners nest for the enemy positions, Raid Leader Souls didn't get a single shot off at our troops rolling in. No casualties reported for us, with all of the Darkspawn confirmed to have been exterminated with extreme prejudice. Not leave the Darkspawn without a parting gift though, Wardens rained down some liquid fire on what was left of the enemy positions, incinerating their hopes and dreams. Maybe next time, Darkspawn.

Thanks for tuning in to Warden Radio, and safe fighting out there!

Fantastic! The natives of Eireann still have no idea what's happening as of now, but hey, The Monarchist Entente has just begun to be occupied, and the latest invaded are always the first liberated... right?

What I seriously don't get is how TGW goes cherrypicking a smaller, "kid-sized" occupation to liberate, which is perfectly great, but ignore the occupation of a larger region like it's no biggie.

Seriously?

About thirty endorsements in each of the regions. We got the numbers together and took the shot. The lack of established BC Officers also made it a more feasible operation, ultimately. I don't really know why you feel the need to bitch here, except for showing off some self-centered pretentiousness, but feel free to come back when you actually have the facts of the situation correct. Until then, I don't see much need to keep replying to you (besides for free bumps to the thread, of course)

Learn to count before you accuse us of cherry picking, La Navasse.

Then why this region before Eireann? Was there something wrong?

It seems immensely illogical.

Furthermore, *about* thirty doesn't matter if you lack the one (or most likely more) defenders that you still need to hit the target with.

The way you've phrased it, it looks like Eireann and The Entente are equally hard to take down: they have the same number of endos.

I understand that there is the massive amount of Influence in Eireann, as well as the officers, that need to be overcome rather than in a just-established occupation like The Entente, but shouldn't a Liberation of Eireann been in the works for a while now?

I say that Eireann would just end up to be another Bee Lands for TGW - unless that party is ever held. :lol2:

P.S. Plus, a large number of updaters just went from Eireann to United States 0f America for another occupation. They had at least 9 more updaters just a while ago. What the heck are you talking about.

The Bee Land was a much smaller region than Eireann, but I can assure you that it's in native-friendly hands.

Native? Native?

What does it even look like? All it looks like to me is an empty corpse of a trophy region. It's essentially a trophy region, simply without all that regional branding and whatnot.

Plus, unless you try to bring a SC Liberation against Eireann, its invaders could just lock down the region and sit there for who knows how long.

All that hysteria doesn't really apply to Eireann, but it does apply to a certain region I remember.

A certain region whose fate will be repeated by Eireann unless the Wardens actually do what they're supposed to, Alt.

So are you trolling or have you really not figured out why nobody is worried about Eireann?

And I don't think Eireann has a native as self destructive as you to usher in its annihilation.

Because it has mostly been an inactive morass of a region? Probably?

If so, I can now confidently say that the new motto for TGW is "defending all regions except for lazy ones!"
