The defenders are slowly morphing into the raiders - Quite poetic, if you ask me.

You have no right to take credit for my work. I led the invasion. You followed and then banjected me simply because I got there days ahead of you while you held back.

The last page and a half aside, a few words before I go to bed. Tonight’s operation was wonderful, a 60 person deployment is no small task, larger than any non-Antifa stage in years. Everyone seemed to have a blast participating, though that didn’t stop nearly all of them from making into the target with ease, on time.

It’s good to strike back against a region that enjoyed damaging other communities, and doing so with allies was a good time. I’m quite proud of our LDF officers for their leadership and support and everyone carried their weight well in our military and in other ones participating.

Definitely had some great energy for this op, it’s always great to see what we can pull off. Operation Majapahit’s initial hit was a huge success and exceeded a lot of initial expectations.

First of all, you were not remotely 'on time'. Second of all, you didn't pull anything off: as already stated, credit belongs to me and Thneedville.

I think someone explained to me once how "raiding" works... but I forgot, and I believe this has been an interesting reminder.
But I believe the previous explanation was why I stripped the WA Delegate role in my region of any and all authority. I suppose anyone who has the WA Delegate as the highest position of authority in their region is probably just begging to get the power taken from them.


Then again, if the game's stat rankings meant anything then I'd probably be able to obliterate most of the World Assembly by myself... and I absolutely would do so.

To all Islamic nations reading this: The Defenders, especially The League are a scourge to us, every one of them. The only cure for them is a great jihad across all of NS.

I would offer you condolences but it would be hypocritical since I don't really care if founderless regions are raided. As far as your founder's deletion, you played stupid games and won stupid prizes. Hopefully this will be a good lesson on who and who not to trust if you want to protect your region from counter invasion in the future.

What, just because I'm better at their job than they are?

Also, it's not THEIR operation. I led the invasion of Islamic States, not them. All they did was liberate the region, which was pointless because a password was never imposed, and then take days to turn up.

I would guess because you're not a part of Libcord or the League, TGW, TiTO, ERN, TMG, Declansburg, DSAF or Sulenia, and they don't want you there gathering influence because it's a waste of their time.

Quebecshire only banjected me after I criticised their speed in turning up, so I think it's more a matter of offence being taken. Regardless, I won't apologise, especially after such an overreaction.

Isn't that almost every independent military? Granted, "aid and comfort" isn't exactly well-defined but that still seems like a strange implication to make.

Dunno how you can read this thread, where a jihad against defenders is called for while claiming we're an affront to Islam, and come away with the conclusion that W&S' posts are the ones that are too much.

In some fun news,

As the WA Delegate of Islamic States, having won two twice-daily elections thus far, I am happy to announce my new regime's first major diplomatic achievement.

Seconds ago: The Eternal Minuteman of Rhaza agreed to construct embassies with Christmas.
Seconds ago: The Carolling Colony of GoodKingWenceslas of the region Christmas proposed constructing embassies.

I’m focusing on W&S’s post because that other crap is already leading to consequences for those who said it. Hope that helps you understand, Quebecshire. Speaking of crap… opening up an embassy with Christmas is leaning a little too much into the Muslim-bashing angle IMO.

For someone so desperate to police the morality of other people, he does have a knack for setting fire to his own morals doesn’t he? I guess the province of Quebec, which does exactly the same shit, rubbed off on him more than I realized…..
