I was waiting for you to ask that. Our targets are random. This demonstrates that.

I'm sure you'll get to the detag on it quickly.

World Bank again? But we've only just left there

If you hadn't touched it, we'd never have gone back! Please don't touch our beautiful artwork. Respect the effort we put into this.

That's not even true. You've raided your own tags before.

by **General Halcones** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 8:03 am

Meh. Rarely - what do we do when you don't bother detagging them? Sometimes we have no choice, but we prefer not to.

Most raiders don't think you can be tasteless in a game*.
Nobody should be surprised or shocked by the fact they targeted an Holocaust memorial. It was attacked because it's considered a region like any other (that would be a target, an empty trophy, a name to be added to their list of conquests).

* unless it's someone other than them that is being "tasteless".
In that case, they will destroy your region

I'm waiting for some raider to tell us we're the tasteless ones for comparing raiding an online Holocaust Memorial to defiling a real Holocaust Memorial. :roll:

Sunday 21st October 4PM - 5PM GMT

Despite the FRA and UDL doing their best to show they still exist, The Black Riders still took out 9 regions last update. Some split-second timings were achieved.

Troops involved were Camo5768, Koth II, Venico the Rider and Neuskistoliitto. General Halcones was again manning mission control, sending out targets and times.

The defenders failed to save the following regions:

Magicka
Marijuana 4 the masses
DFI
Maidens of the Kaleidoscope
Union of Social renagades
Vizzed
Trixie
The High Council of Transcendence
Great NetHack Conglomerate

Note: The UDL was attempting to detag Magicka - their attempt was crushed by The Black Riders, who re-tagged the region due to defender presence.

It would be petty not to congratulate my adversaries on a job almost-well done. Why can't you pull that many numbers on any update other than a lazy Sunday afternoon?

"Marijuana 4 the masses" :rofl:

? Are these guys really worth raiding?

by **Aglavia** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 1:08 pm

I used to be in the Black Riders, as 'Bolse.' I mean sure, I was a spy for the defenders, but raiding is much more fun!

I see. You better take Marijuana Islands too, then?

This explains why you all hit Hippiedom...it wasn't random...you were after the Drogen!

Shit man, the fuzz is finally onto us.....

by **Drop Your Pants** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 6:05 pm

How many regions did you attempt to raid?

by **General Halcones** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:19 pm

Monday 22nd October 4AM - 5AM GMT

Last update, the stampede changed direction, as The Black Riders instead targeted regions with an inactive founder. This shows no one is safe. 12 regions were taken in total. Defenders didn't feel it was necessary to protect these regions, despite them having an inactive founder.

Troops involved were Scooby-Doo, Koth II, Federation Republic, and Venico the Rider. General Halcones commanded the raids, giving targets and times.

The following regions saw something new tonight:

Beeker Island
Commonwealth states of Camra
The Connection of the World
Goat
The Reconstructed Galactic Empire
Pax Britannica
Pwnzoria
The Las Vegas Strip
Kingdom of Ireland
Safe Army
Pax Imperium
The Cemetary

Time to put your money where your mouth is.

You have one week to tag UB3R KUUL TROLOLO.

Go.

by **General Halcones** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 12:35 am

Typical of you to come back with that - I tend to avoid stating the obvious. Clearly we can't take regions where delegate controls are off, or where there is a password that no one is willing to give out. Thought you'd already know that?

No one is safe (but the obvious).

*giggles*

Congrats on your successful raids and congrats to the defenders for stopping some. It is certainly impressive (to me at least) to such such consistency tagging!

by **General Halcones** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 10:35 am

Monday 22nd October 4PM - 5PM GMT

And the stampede continues.... another 11 regions fell to The Black Riders last update. Defenders were out in force again, yet took a while to get themselves going.

Troops involved were Camo5768 and Ragnarok Arisen, while General Halcones supplied targets and times.

The following regions went up in smoke:

Nations of the dark arts
Programmers united
Byonds ragtag group of fools
Arachosia
Imperial Sovereign commonality
Ukon
The Glorious Schism
The Five Year Plan
TEP
Crazy bunnies with wings
United nations of the north west pacific

P.S. Congratulations to TITO on detagging the Holocaust Memorial, despite it being a dead region. Didn't think they cared about such regions? Clearly they do.

by **Ambroscus Koth** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 11:14 am

Huh. Didn't know Programmers United went founderless, looks like it really died since the last time I checked it out.

Excellent work Camo and Rag!

Do you frequently have arguments with yourself in Gameplay, or is this a new thing? :lol:

The difference is that one is snark and one isn't. You know, joke. Har de har.
