I'd say more on this topic but I'd fall foul of NS defamation rules which unfortunately apply in this situation as well.

@ The Black Hawks


In commemoration to our our opponents tonight, we won't have the stamina to write a full-effort post. Much like they didn't have the effort to go past 37 minutes of update, we don't have the effort to write more. It was honestly really disappointing to see 9 raiders quit so early in, but I'm sure we're going to see something about how it was a training exercise or that they only set so many triggers. Fortunately Libcord and Crew are the most fun folks ever, so we're still having a great time sitting around and chatting about life as update ends uneventfully. Wardens even moved into a Warzone 5 minutes early to be so bored, leaving SPSF and TOP wondering why they didn't join us.

As Tim says, its been very convenient for us in that we know immediately if the darkspawn have missed their target. I'm sure it benefits them in the same fashion. I believe I witnessed a tag run go awry due to a pair operating off the prior update's displayed time, rather than the prior day's update time (using minor times to trigger major jumps). Once they figure that out, I could see the emergence of more darkspawn groups. As it stands currently, the barrier to GP entry is still at the moderate level. Update raiding I would still classify as difficult for those not trained by established organizations.

I haven't watched update in a chubby second, but I'm pretty sure that 37 minutes is over half of the update. I'll be sure to hop on sometime and lead a quickie just to please you all, since apparently Operation Eclipse wasn't enough! <3

Great job though, and I'm glad y'all are having fun :clap:

I've journeyed deep into the Fade in ancient ruins and battlefields to see the dreams of lost civilizations. I've watched as hosts of spirits clash to reenact the bloody past in ancient wars both famous and forgotten. Any building strong enough to withstand the rigors of time has a history. Every battlefield steeped in death. Both attract spirits. They press against the veil, weakening the barrier between our worlds. When I dream in such places, I go deep into the Fade. I can find memories no other living being has ever seen.

This world, or its memory, is reflected in the Fade. Dream in ancient ruins, and you may see a city lost to history. Some of my fondest memories were found in crumbling cities long pecked dry by treasure seekers. The best are the battlefields. Spirits press so tightly on the Veil that you can slip across with but a thought.


Sir Merlin (Kingdom of Circle of Magi), who joined the Order at the start of May, has quickly risen to be one of the most active Wardens in our history, passing over a thousand total operations in under five months. Merlin can be seen, every update, ready and enthusiastic to take on the blight, inspiring his fellow Wardens and allies alike to follow his lead. Even Warden-Commanders have been driven to chase his unbelievable 5.053 missions per update average. Having risen to the level of Warden-Lieutenant, Sir Merlin is rapidly setting a new standard of excellence within the Order.


Tonight the Wardens took to the field, rapidly liberating two regions before granting Lilly our special brand of attention. This update, we were joined by Pikasistan of the South Pacific Special Forces, who enjoyed the thrill of leading an operation for the first time tonight. He enjoyed it so much that he held the honor a second time before the night was through. A quick learner, Pikasistan showcased his speed and understanding of update mechanics, much to the delight of this Commander. A star is in the making.

It saves me about 2 seconds when checking if raiders missed on a jump, since now I can check the region page instead of running it through 20xx. From a capable R/D sense, it's a nice convenience but not much else.

I imagine it'll become more fun for our techs to play with once they release its API Shard.


Do you mean add it to the daily dumps?

So my brain is drained from midterms but all we do is win so here's a post. The only reason we fell south of 30 is because Vinny ran out of switchers mid chase.

Commander Tim literally carrying the team


Your boy's on vacation, right? So I'm heading up to Detroit for the weekend. We get there, got some dinner, had some drinks, go crash at our place for the weekend. It's a good time, we're watching hockey, you know how it goes. Alas, I then log onto update and I see that the team's riding the strugglebus. Altmoras is moving 2slow, Roavin's still unsure what he did to have Cloudflare curse him, BT's switching real slow, Escade and Jack are too busy making heart eyes at each other, and Vinny's stuck on a train. Rumor has it that Red Dusk was gonna show up, but he took a real long shower. Anyways, I knew I had to make some plays so I strolled in, guns blazing, picked up our haggard troops and raced into victory. Fortunately, Lieutenants House of Cards and Sir Merlin still know how to pull even when they can't be bothered to write a shitpost, so we had some big moves and big plays. Anyways, we picked up 24 wins from this, which gives us our second consecutive 20+ defense major update. That's pretty hype, and if you wanna get gud then you can join us.
