Whats the ratio of active raiders to random RL friends of raiders in the pile? Curious how many you've pulled in.

Also, you got Nephmir back, oh joys.

What's your ratio of defenders to skeletons and fresh recruits? I could make a guess based on how many move late ;)

I could also make a guess based on the fact y'all are desperate enough to TG pilers pretending to give "op over go home" orders =P

But we did get Nephmir to pile, yep.

1=1 when it comes to piling.

Anyway, it's really not surprising that TBH and LWU are now trying to grief one of the oldest communities in the site that has existed for nearly two decades. Raiders gonna raid, I guess.

Just because you, a raider, think that they aren't active enough to have sovereignty doesn't mean that they don't.

There is no activity requirement arbitrarily set by raiders that decides whether a community should get destroyed or not.

I’m sure the region with 40k influence natives or whatever they have is the target for destruction

Oh no 4 people won't be able to have sovereignty anymore. What a shame.

Heya! If you want a valid answer, this is a mostly complete piler count, here this is, note the blank 31 aren't accounted for some some numbers aren't accurate!

The "+" categories are for the people that don't hail any orgs that were brought by friends in said orgs. These are either old/unaligned NSers or friends from off-site.

I want to correct my earlier comments, I have since been informed there were 2 natives, not 4. I apologize for overstating how much a "community" ALH had.

---

And yeah, even the "+" numbers contain a lot of distant retirees. If you're calling up Red Dusk for active duty, then I don't think those count for your snark =P

In seriousness, is Nephmir's association with and actions taken alongside Frak being forgiven or forgotten by TBH and LWU? If raiderdom is starting to fall in with these sorts of folks again, I want to know.

Nephmir was guilty of being bloody stupid and dishonest, but he's not and never has been a malicious actor in the vein of Frak.

I agree with this, I owned up to how stupid it was at the time, letting my ambition blind me, and vaguely recall apologizing publicly in addition. Regardless, the events of this and those leading up to it was 7-10 years ago. I was quite literally a kid at the time. I definitely don't need everyone to like me, but I would appreciate if the past was left where it belongs, as I recall the situation was resolved and handled correctly.
