It is a fictional propaganda term used exclusively by certain raiders.

Ah. I read it as “def-indie” and assumed it meant a defender-leaning independent region/nation. Good to know! Thank you so much :lol:!

it's a cutesy term for defenders, kind of like how "doggy" is a cutesy word for "dog" or "baby" is a cutesy word for "human less than a year old"

As the player that coined the term "defindie" a month ago, I can say that TUW and Alger are correct about what it's supposed to mean.

It's a portmanteau of "defender-leaning independent region/nation" like TUW assumed, and meant to be cutesy as Alger points out.

Really? If it's used by more than just me now and is being used in actual raider propaganda, that's pretty neat! :lol: So far its peak is that Sedge mockingly used it.

Oh, okay! The mention of still doing your own ops, doing occasional raids, name-dropping The League - I got confused about your exact military alignment due to all that. So thanks for clarifying.

TGU EPICALLY WRECKS RAIDERS and cookies

Postby The Universe World » Mon Dec 19, 2022 8:53 am

It was a cold, snowy Saturday minor. Commander The Universe World was in Libcord, cookies in hand, anxiously awaiting the go signal. The big evil raiders had been trying to hit a region and steal its cookies! Suddenly, the go signal came. But unfortunately, the dear defenders came just a few endorsements short. As the raider’s endo count grew, it sinked in: this was going to be a major operation. TGU mobilized forces and went into DEFCON 1 (wartime). Each update held something new. That night’s major was establishing a beachhead. The minor the next morning was to prevent raiders from being able to ban more people by tipping the delegacy in favor of another raider. And finally, the major last night is when we won. The troops of TGU rejoiced, as calls for cookies grew, because Commander TUW may have promised everyone cookies if they did a good job and helped out :p. The cookies were given, which led to lots of NOM NOMMING from Libcord, TITO, TGU, and New Westphalia.
So, my fellow comcookiepatriots, rejoice! For this was defenderdom’s first overall victory since China in November 2021, and the first major operation TGU was a part of. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy your cookies!

Comcookiepatriots from TGU Defense Force:
Major 2022-12-18
[LDF/TGU] Craig (The Universe World/The Universe World in The League)
[TGU] Toke (Diplomats from SAU/Dominisiace)

Minor 2022-12-18
[LDF/TGU] Craig (The Universe World/The Universe World in The League)
[TGU] Dominisiace (Diplomats from SAU/Dominsiace)
[TGU] Zabloing (Free Scotland)

Major 2022-12-19
[LDF/TGU] Craig (The Universe World/The Universe World in The League)
[TGU] Aelah (Liberty County)
[TGU] Dominisiace (Diplomats from SAU/Dominisiace)
[TGU] xAvIeR (Fingalind)
[TGU] YouMonke (Grandia 1)

LONG LIVE NEW WESTPHALIA! LONG LIVE DEFENDERDOM! LONG LIVE THE GREAT UNIVERSE! END RAIDING! And most importantly… NOM NOM ON COOKIES, COOKIECOMPATRIOTS!

Yes, we have done it, and this is our first major op.
This is a great success and this is very celebratory, I was happy to help and to give away cookies.

Still, this is only the start and we have just commenced, we're not even halfway into the story.
From now on, the things will be harder and more exciting than usual. :clap: :)

New Flag

Postby The Universe World » Wed Dec 28, 2022 1:30 pm

Hello! TGU’s GURA decided on a new flag during downtime, designed by our very own Catboy friend (formerly known as Diplomats from SAU)!
Here it is: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... tled_1.png
This replaces our old flag, which was this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... BBB970.png
I hope you all love it as much as we do, and a special thank you to Catboy friend for designing this beautiful flag!
God bless you all, may the Lord be with you all, and let the Lord be with you all.

Addressing the Server Raid

Postby The Universe World » Tue Feb 21, 2023 9:36 am

Good day. Yesterday, TGU's server was raided by the following individuals:
Habianclazia
Jewish Underground State (Dark Lord Starkiller)
Vavlar (potentially Sorunak)
These individuals sent a combined total of 200+ spam pings, moat of which @ed everyone in the server. Images and GIFs were spammed as well, dozens of times.
We have permabanned Habianclazia from the server and the region, and have made the rare and thus bold decision to close our embassies with his region, Letters and spaces.
We have permabanned JUS' TGU puppet from the region. He left the server on his own accord, but if he is to return he will be immediately permabanned.
We have banned Vavlar from the server for eight days, and have elected to grant him the "village idiot" role permanently upon his return. No gameside punishment was enacted on him.
GURA has been suspended and the region is currently under martial law with all power held by the regional government. This will be in place for a week. After that we will decide whether this still qualifies as a regional emergency, and if it is not martial law will end.
Our DEFCON status has been raised from DEFCON 5 to DEFCON 2 in light of this.
Furthermore, while attempting to fix the server so this does not happen again, ambassadors were accidentally given admin perms, so for approximately five minutes our private channels were accessible to diplomats. It is unknown if anything sensitive was leaked through this. We are aware that Moukden and Kirin, the Talonian ambassador to TGU, accessed our two archived channels, however nothing sensitive was contained in those channels.
The Free Munster League and I have placed tight security controls on the server to prevent this from happening again, which we believe to be effective considering their ramifications.
Our role play server was unaffected by this.
Thank you for reading. LONG LIVE TGU!
God bless you, may the Lord be with you, and let the Lord be with you.
Note: yes, we are still active. We are currently on an anti-fascist raid, we did a detag run of five detags last week, and we were also featured last week, to summarize recent happenings besides the server raid.

Considering server raiding is against Discord ToS and is clearly an OOC issue, perhaps you should actually contact relevant admin teams instead of writing a roleplay statement about it, or changing fictional security statuses.

Also, this is foolish. Don't do this. Just ban him if it's true.

This exactly. What they did was foolish, and against the rules of Discord. Not really something to make a GP post about.
