I mean that just ain't happening.

Speaking as, ya know, a Grey Warden Commander, I can't recall ever working with you folks in any operational capacity. Dunno what you're calling "defending", but I haven't seen any of it from you folks.

I have actually seen them pile in defense of at least one region over the years, though I could no longer tell you which, or when. So I guess that's anecdotal and not particularly helpful unless you're willing to take my word for it. Which, I'm no fan of the region, so it's not like I'd have reason to lie. :P


I'll take your word for it. I think it reinforces my point that I can't recall ever working with them in any operational capacity :P

I thought in a game about politics, politically motivated region destruction is more valid than non-politically motivated region destruction.

Not gonna happen. If something crosses the line in terms of what they post on the WFE, RMB, etc., fine. We're not going to get into an analysis of why regions are invading other regions and which motivations are ok and which are not. The game mechanics don't care if you're doing it for the lulz or for political reasons, and neither do we.

It would be quite strange for us to say that you cannot have an ideology to base your actions upon in a game that simulates the effects of political ideologies.

Well that just ain't true.

If you're implying that to defend, you need to work with TGW, that's not very objective - RtL can defend without your influence, I think.

You aware of how defending works? I've seen RtL's military, they couldn't even come close to being able to defend outside of the Libcord bubble. Sure, someone could operate largely independently from Libcord in defensive operations, like TITO or NPA. However, those militaries are far better trained, far larger, and far more capable.

The ability and action of defending should not be judged or measured to a standard by other organizations to be defending; a successful defense is a successful defense. No matter in what manner an organization may defend, the difference between "they can defend" and "they cannot defend" is all it takes to be a defender.

You realize this topic is about them raiding a region right? :P

Judging and measuring the action of defending itself and established defender organizations are two entirely different things.
