”Alright gang, you’ve hit Egalaria and Zero, two big banks. Now it's time for something more… unorthodox. The Feds from LILY and TBH are moving hundreds of their regions in an armored van convoy. And when I mean hundreds I really mean it. It’s every professional heister’s wet dream, sums of regions just sitting there ready to be taken.”

“Alright Wardens, it's time for our payday.”

In the past weeks, hundreds of regions were seized by the Federal Government, specifically the Local Intelligence and Logistics Agency (LILY) and the Tactical Bureau of the Homeland (TBH), in some of the largest raids on criminal elements in recent memory. In one particular raid, LILY seized over 200 regions, setting the record for the largest tactical anti-gang (TAG) raid conducted by a single team in history. The regions which were hit by raids were stored in the Bank of the Allied Nations of Egalaria and the Devide by Zero Bank.

However police received an incident report from both the banks. They were both robbed by two groups of highly armed assailants, wearing red and black Christmas suits and animal masks, who were a part of the infamous Grey Wardens Gang. After a brief firefight with SWAT units, both groups made their escape from the bank with sizable sums of regions taken back in their so-called “De-TAG” run.

In response the Federal Government began a new operation to fully secure the seized regions by transporting them via armored van convoy. The convoy was ultimately stopped in the midst of transit due to the Grey Wardens Gang chasing after the convoy, and multiple vans were drilled into. At the end of the heist, the Grey Wardens Gang had made off with 140 regions. Police forces have also confirmed that the Grey Wardens Gang had made off with the infamous Belgium region, aided by fellow criminal elements such as the South Pacific Side Fangs (SPSF), Thousand Island Tuff Ones (TITO), and the Real Reject of America (RRA), in another heist on a large federal convoy.

Further LILY and TBH raids on criminal activities to seize regions have been thwarted by the Grey Wardens as well, with their TAG raids being met with fierce resistance by the Gang. As of present, the Grey Wardens Gang is still at large and authorities have asked for those with information to come forth.

This has been Bax Marry on NationStates Yesterday, signing off.

The 140 defences update was crazy. Lots of Connect Four and Chess gaming happening at the same time as the joint tagger-chaser VC and both sides still managed to get a good amount of wins.

Also, spending 2.5 hours on update is a better usage of time than failing the same stealth heist for 5 hours in a row.

140 defenses was absolutely insane! That was a real fun night, even if I got a little tilted by Connect 4 <_<

How could you reference Connect Four and Chess but not Jet Ski Addition? Leaving out the most important part smh.

A Commander delivers orders to the Choir in Libcord Abbey.

A carol to be sung by two groups. Traditionally, younger singers take the role of ‘Liberator’ and adults the role of ‘Officer’; in formal settings, the Officers are baritones and the Liberators tenors. In some regions, a Christmas pudding is served, and the person who finds a coin in their slice is ‘Goodkingwenceslas’, wearing a crown for the duration of the song.

All:
Goodkingwenceslas moved to
Artificial Solar System
while the switchers prepp'd about
and crossing was all even
Brightly shone the Libcord lights
though 'twas still midsummer
when defenders prepared to fight
with a mighty nu-uuuuuuu-mber.

Liberators:
"Hither, spotters, stand by me,
if thou knows't it, telling
from whence came this delegate
and which raid are we quelling?"
Officers:
"Sire, we may not tell thee yet,
lest the raiders listen.
'Tis somewhere on the internet
where the snow doth gli-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-sten."

Liberators:
"Bring me orders in due course,
bring me M key hither.
i shall this fine king endorse,
afore we bear them thither."
All:
Fendas and king forth they went,
forth in liberation,
with the orders duly sent,
moved in every na-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-tion.

Liberators:
"Sire, the trigger stretcheth out
and I fear banjection.
I pray our battle line not rout
and for our king's protection."
Officers:
"Mark the update, my good page,
it cometh 'pon our banners,
impotent was raider's rage,
for they could not ba-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-n us."

Liberators:
Goodkingwenceslas returned
to the throne of Yuletide
and the Advent candles burned
as bannings were applied.
Therefore, NationStates, be sure,
In July or December,
Those who keep regions secure
Shalt Christmas reme-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-mber.

Composed 27th July in the year of our Lord 2020, in honor of the liberation of Christmas.

As you look through the rather silent GP forum thread of The Grey Wardens you start hearing a distant riff getting closer and heavier at the second. That's right, Merlin and the wardens are back with another metal-themed GP report, but I promise to you dear reader, this time it isn't going to fall flat as new non-german thrash metal like my last metal-themed report!

the wardens training for all the winning they're about to do

The Masters of the puppets over at the Grey Wardens showed why the darkspawn still have fear of the dark by defending 361 regions total. Our March of war against raider tags also continues as The Troopers have detagged a total of 362 regions since our last report.

We also stopped a major raid against the region Asia, making their leads last in the region for the whole duration of You Suffer by Napalm Death!

People that play the sickest riffs:

Main vocals: Tim
Main guitar: Haku
The Accordion: Sir Merlin
Main bass: Benevolent Thomas
Main drums: Vincent Drake
Secondary guitar: Roavin
Secondary vocals: Deadeye Jack
The Cello: Altmoras

The roadies:

Swifty Gamer
Team Leo
Kanglia
Alfonz
W&S
Comlogical
Nakari
Atlantica

The triangle instrument: Matthew

People that headbanged along:

*there are duplicates in these lists, but as these lists include all operations minus sieges and drive-bys after the liberation of Christmas last month, removing duplicates would make no sense.
Regions where the darkspawn were reminded of their fear of the dark: 361

Regions where the troopers marched: 362

Regions liberated of Nu-metal: 3

As the complete opposite to Merlin's heavy metal themed update, me and Jamie filled VC with cute pop, so here's a cute pop themed report! (Though if you're more into metal, my grandma recommends Dio's Holy Diver.)

⏵Track 1

You think I’m speedy
When I don’t turn my Breeze on
You think I’m ready
When I get the moves all wrong
I know you’ll get in
So it’s you that I’ll cross on, oooo~

Let’s do the whole update tonight
No regrets, just moves
We can get WA locked when we die
You and I
We’ll defend forever

You make me feel like I’m living an
Update dream
When you endorse me back
Let's not sleep
Let’s chase away
And don’t ever move back, don’t ever move back, no

Think they’ll go here,
Think they’ll go there,
We’ve got a feeling, feeling

Wow how dare you steal my joke, Wayneatica. Very uncool and I'll never forgive you for this >:(

Posted: **Sun Sep 06, 2020 7:52 am**

Yup.

Today's report is dedicated to Sergeant Dyllonia who aided us in some of our wins tonight.

This past major update, The black hawks went on a 60 puppet tag run. That's a lot, right? And surely, with that many targets, they'd also get a decent amount of hits, right? Nope, The Grey Wardens and friends reduced The black hawks to 9 hits through a combination of 32 defences and forcing them to missed triggers.

However, as much as we'd like to take credit for 100% of the wins last night, it would be rude to not give credit where it's due. Sergeant Dyllonia, on various occasions during the update, decided that they'd rather jump around to random regions instead of jumping to the actual target. For at least 2-3 targets, Dyllonia volunteered to be point, but because of their random region jumping, resulted in a complete miss. On a few perfect triggers where almost every black hawk managed to make it in on time with the defenders not making it in on time, it still resulted in a miss due to Dyllonia moving late due to prioritizing random region jumping over raiding. On a few targets, Dyllonia didn't move at all.

Despite the odds being against them tonight, The black hawks raided the whole update and that's something to respect. This may be the first time in months I've seen them raid the whole update.

I don't speak for anyone but myself in this post, but I don't consider it a positive point for TGW to specifically single out members of an org to personally attack or shame them. That kind of stuff goes into OOC territory and in my opinion is thoroughly beyond the scope of what largely IC update reports should involve.

Posted: **Sun Sep 06, 2020 2:43 pm**

Agreed with Refuge.

Is capitalising The Black Hawks as "The black hawks" really the done thing now?

Posted: **Sun Sep 06, 2020 2:44 pm**

Yeah honestly dyll is a nice person and idk if they deserve this flak. Makes me sad tbh. We all make mistakes, everybody has those days. No biggie, right?

Posted: **Sun Sep 06, 2020 2:48 pm**

Dyll tried to be to clever to sneak some wins and lost, I’m sure they can own that or they wouldn’t have taken the risks

OOC attack, umm nope, pretty shameful to describe it in those terms. Let’s reserve that terminology for actual issues please.
