The Black Riders - The Elite Cavalry of NationStates

[Tano]

If it only has like 1 nation in it, that logs in every couple days, I doubt anyone actually cares about it.

So yeah, I very much doubt defenders are going to care about regions with one or two inactive nations in them. In fact, very few people in general do.

A lot more of teh big league stuff is fine. Quality over quantity.

That would be true,except that big regions don't get liberated either

Did all defenders get abducted by the alien mafia moderation conspiracy?

No, that would be the cult of [violet] which are actually giant dinosaurs.

Anyways, I'm saying that what I would like as a raider is to see more of the big raids. Maybe that'd force defenders to get their shit together.

[Consular]

Except we do big raids. There are three happening right now. And defenders are still doing nothing. So yeah.

[Nephmir]

Defenders are starting to disappoint me. Even TBR make better Defenders.

[Darwinish Brentsylvania]

No, it's because they're tiny regions that usually don't have a good community established at that time. If they did, then you were kicked out of there.

Oh, you're saying you don't care about those regions? Not important enough for you, eh?

Actually, I don't. They're not worth the time to organize, plot, and liberate if they don't even have natives. Try a smaller organization.

Defenders are starting to disappoint me. Even TBR make better Defenders.

Yeah, yeah, alright. We'll try better.

[Tano]

Very well, I'll confine my response to TBR.

Anarchy.

All these complaints that tiny regions being tagged are irrelevant are absolute nonsense, considering defenders do nothing about legitimate holds of sizeable communities either.

Your main nation is WA and it's always been so...

[Darwinish Brentsylvania]

I do leave my region if I'm needed, and then endorse that that regions update.

Damnit Cass, how can I make my arguement if you keep refuting it

That's not how it works!

Edit; But anyways, Anarchy (whilst quite nice) is just one region.

We need to have a R/D debate.

How does this work?

You don't clear up tags, and you don't go after occupied regions because they're "Just one region". What else is there? TBR has had Anarchy under their control for 2 months, and you dismiss it as "just one [insignificant]^* region"? How does this make any logical sense? I fail to comprehend how TBR has beaten back defenders so badly. Makes my job much easier, but makes their job easier too.

Is this why K and J Alliance fell? I could not stand watching that region get destroyed, yet I could not do anything about it. You [you referring to all defenders] had the power to do something about it, but yet you did not? Is that what I'm hearing?

*Insignificant was implied in that statement.

I didn't say it was insignificant. If you notice, I said it was a quite nice operation. But that's only one example of what TBR's done. Granted, you hve a point about how long they've held it, but again that's one region.

Oh crap, my bad, soz bro.

@Nephmir, Tano is not a defender.

[Tano]

Wait, Neph's been assuming I'm fenda this entire time?

Oh, then his post makes a bit more sense now lol

@Cass: S'all good brahski

[Land filled with People]

You don't clear up tags, and you don't go after occupied regions.....What else is there?

What else is there? You listed two things, neither of which are actually defending and ask what else is there? Do you want to know what else there is? Defending. You know, the entire reason we have that name.

Liberating and detagging is just too much work.

Invasion of The Silver Isles
April 6, 2014. Major Update

---

The Black Riders deploys its forces into another invasion and occupation of a region and disruption of the native community. The Silver Isles has been infiltrated by Black Rider operatives and waited for the rest of the army to storm in and take over the region in a swift move.

17 day ago, the native delegate Finium hinted at a new administration in The Silver Isles (Dispatch) and we made it happen. At Sea is now the supreme leader of the region.
The former leader has decided to retire and move out of the region, passing his powers to the new leadership and encouraging the new leader to be tyrannical (RMB post and another RMB post)

Troops involved:

Mission Commander: General Bob Moran (Also Covert Operations coordinator and infiltrator)
Infiltrators: Sergeant Volanowsh, Corporal Gladio III and PFC Wetwork XIII
Update Forces: Overlord General Halcones, Marshal Feuer Ritter, Lieutenant Ridersyl, Sergeant Coraxion, Sergeant Ugnar, Corporal Aurum Rider, PFC Deutschland150 and PFC Hollowed Forest

With this new invasion, TBR holds 2 occupations; Anarchy and Silver Isles

---

---

At the same time, The Black Riders raided and tagged 13 regions

Troops Involved:

Raid Leader: Overlord General Halcones
Pointmen: Lieutenant Ridersyl and Corporal Aurum Rider
Switchers: Sergeant Coraxion, Sergeant Ugnar, PFC Hollowed Forest and PFC Deutschland150

The Confederacy (WA, 1 day, just paying a visit to Tramiar)
Show of Hands (WA, 94 days)
Yorkshire (WA, 137 days)
Elite Conservative Circuit (WA, 17 days)
The United Nations of Freedom (WA, 254 days)

Continental Union (WA, 1 day)
Warzone Africa
Romana (WA, 1 day)

[Shadow Afforess]

Not surprised about The Silver Isles. Didn't they spend a bunch on recruitment telegrams to the whole game 4 months back? Money well invested it seems.

[Communist Eraser]

I thought it was because they supported "Usiris". I thought Osiris would want burn them first.

[Anur-Sanur]

Because Raiders need an excuse....

[Coraxion]

Because Raiders need an excuse....

When reading this very same thread again you can see most people here commenting with excuses has been Fendas and natives. Look at WFE of The Silver Isles and you maybe understand why we continuously keep our Combat Readiness high by making those allegedly meaningless tag raids to these 'not enough important to defend' native dumps...

Seconds ago: The Commonwealth of Inspired By The Novel tried to enter the region but did not know the password.
1 minute ago: The Federation of At Sea replaced The Blessed Lands of Finium as WA Delegate.

Excuse?!

[Letoilenoir]

Strangely I find I must compliment TBR on raiding The Silver Isles

This was previously a nest of vipers of the fascist type under the leadership of a certain nation by the name of Diol

Are TBR moving toward a possible accord with the broader coalition of anti-nazi sentiment one wonders?

No we're not moving that way. Just raiding

Osiris did want to burn them. Unfortunately Osiris' sleeper in the region got exposed and was ejected and banned some time ago. Congratulations to The Black Riders on their successful operation!
