NationStates' most active military organization was back at it again. The darkspawn have been rather rancorous in their treatment of unfortified settlements in recent times and its up to the Order to remove lingering signs of the blight. We've sent our scouts far and wide in search of areas affected by the taint. Without wasting a moment, Warden Command dispatched an elite group of warriors charged with tackling this task. Over forty regions of the world have been visited in this latest round of environmental restoration. Signs of darkspawn presence in the world is rapidly deteriorating, much to the pleasure of its peaceful inhabitants. If you're interested in joining our heroic cause of stopping the evils of this world, please contact us here: https://discordapp.com/invite/eNUepjS

Thanks for helping us out, y'all. All those WFE's that linked to our old forums were going to have to go when we switch over soon anyways, and now we get to tag clean regions instead of doing dirty retags.

...Are you trying to recruit Feuer because he's bored with raiding or say that raiders are bad because Feuer exists in the way that's gotten him pretty much purged from any raiding region?

Both are dumb.

LOL. Way to overvalue and overhype a comment by someone overwhelmingly shunned by the raiding world, a post that was a criticism of what raiders actually do, for the sake of a cheap ad.

Go back to the retirement home, BT, you've lost touch.

Wait until you see my upcoming anti-TGW ad prominently featuring Unibot quotes. It'll be just as realistic.

To be very fucking clear, Benevolent Thomas does not speak for the leadership of The Order, nor is he an Officer of any rank in the organization at present. His views do not reflect the official opinions and stances of TGW's Command.

Feuer Ritter will never be welcome in TGW at any point in time, nor should he be welcome anywhere. Benevolent Thomas's attempted recruitment pitch was innapropriate, misguided, and likely lacked a more complete understanding of the circumstances of Feuer being unwelcome in GP.

Lmao, despite how cheap a shot this was, I don’t know why anyone is reading it as an attempt to recruit *feuer himself.* It’s obviously just using the quote as an example of “this is raiding, this is how bad it is, help us fight regions with this mentality,” @the general public.

Now, that’s still a very cheap shot given that Feuer has been run out of raiding for IC and OOC issues alike, including but definitely not limited to views on behavior and following site rules exactly like those quoted. But let’s call BT out for *that*, and not some made up Bs.

I would not criticize anyone for forming that conclusion. Feuer is not a well-known individual, and I would not be shocked if people mistakingly recruit him without knowing his past history-- not everyone was in those minorities of regions-- especially defenders. That is why I don't see an issue with jumping in and saying "Don't recruit or motivate him" -- whether or not an individual is in leadership or a noob, they deserve to know facts or warnings.

Tim is absolutely right and is official leadership so
No one's worried about TGW (doubt it)

Finally, a voice of reason. This is exactly what my post was made to convey. I honestly don't understand how that could have been misconstrued as an attempt to recruit Feuer himself. Feuer is one of the reasons that TGW was founded. His mentality of Invading, Destroying and Trolling native regions is what I define as being the epitome of being a Darkspawn. On top of a desire to make victims out of his fellow NS players for his own amusement, Feuer was at the head of multiple military organizations that routinely violated the site's rules and made NS an uncomfortable place for many players. My post says "don't like Feuer and nations like them? Join me".

I don't see how this is new from anything I've said since founding The Order of the Grey Wardens a couple of years ago. I'm happy that Feuer is "blacklisted" from the more mainstream organizations. I consider that a victory. Anyone that thinks I'd allow them into TGW is living in a fantasy land. GP must be really struggling if this is the straw that we're all so excited to grasp at. Like seriously, wtf?

He wrote that he was using Feuer as an example of the enemy, not talking to him, that's clarification enough imo and better than what everyone originally read it as (an ad for said person) And he's the last person to be worried about

There's nothing wrong with responding to what he actually did. Which was use Feuer as an example of raiderdom. Which he's not.

Let's just clarify some things for the shocked and appalled now that I can post on NSGP (check out NSGP Discord for what I really think unfiltered >:):

1. No one should use Unibot, Brunhilde, Feuer, other {...} players to try to paint the actions of a whole community or group. I don't think BT, who somehow gets along with some of these pixie raiders, intended to do that. However, let's as a community make a pact not to give oxygen to the {site safe word here} players or use them for anything. Even humor.

2. The people who are raising a lot of fuss anywhere - next time some player tries to paint the defender community with the Unibot brush - please flex your annoyed asf muscles and moral outrage then too. Publicly. In fact, maybe you should make it clear that popular player *#* who spent much of last year doing just that (playing the Unibot card along with the Nazi card along with every other dick move) knows its a fucked up thing to do. I certainly will remind people and beat that drum and I'll make sure to point you to it in case you miss it.

3. Do you know how you really get rid of a type of player that is horrific for the community? By taking away any oxygen in the game that they might use to resuscitate themselves. No mentions, no posts, no contacts, no fucks given. Do it.
