So Cool! It took 3 TBR tags to make some conclusions! Excellent! :)

Personally I like a lot your regional concept, btw. I had privilege be 2nd and 3rd elected delegate in your isles. Fellow raider Aurum Rider was first one. Now, start recruiting and form living and proud community in your region! :hug:

I'm some 17 year old psuedo-libertarian who leans to the left in social terms, is fiercly right economically, and centrist in foriegn policy. Unapologetically Pro-American, Pro-NATO, even if we do fuck up (a lot). If you can find real sources that disagree with me I will change my opinion. Call me IHOP cause I'm always flipping.

I found this thread. I'm not a raider, but I'm an RP fan. I'm rofl right now.
I'm not interested in being or opposing raiders and I have expressed that often... anyways cool thread, I would tag for interest only because I want ot see how long it takes for them to notice they're doing it 150% wrong.

@ The Flame Down: http://s4.zetaboards.com/The_Black_Riders/index/

We are interested only how and where you use your WA-nation, be welcome.

TBR reports are loysy shit RPing wise because their function is not in first place to roleplay, got it?

You can raid and roleplay same time. In fact, being active raider with WA-member nation on the battle fields of GP R/D could secure rather peaceful roleplays for individual nations and/or RPing communities. Value of Good RP writers is recognized as well in The Elite Cavalry.

However, The Black Riders is The Gameplaying organisation. Accept that, and be welcomed! :)

"The Coaliton to Invade the Black Riders" has a thread already - use that to discuss the organisation. This is also not the thread to advertise your region in.

People seem to think the lands we raid are chosen through some sort of serious, psychological, Freudian-esque, brutal system. It's funny.

I know there's a lot of randomness involved, but sometimes the decisions seem... half-baked.

My puppets often receive telegrams along the lines of, "why don't you losers pick on regions your own size" and "our region never did anything to you" and the infamous "do you people have lives?" (Though that's a tad irrelevant :p). And on the forums whenever people angrily flaimbait about their region getting raided, they seem to think that we targeted THEM for some specific reason. Like we all consciously made the decision, "Hey, see this region! LETS RAID THEM SPECIFICALLY JUST TO PISS THAT ONE NATION OFF". People are so conceited and act like we target regions just to spite them, or to make some profound statement or something. You are not special if you get raided. You were simply a target that we could ride into and level at that moment.

And how do they seem "half-baked" to you? Half baked like Cinnamon Bun over here?

Nah, it's surprisingly not widespread knowledge. In the most basic way I can explain it, it basically goes like this:

We are given a region to raid. The raiders that are online at update (one of two times a day that the game processes World Assembly endorsements, issues, etc.) gather together to collectively endorse one of us, the "pointman". When it comes time in the update to hit the target region, we all move in seconds before the game counts the endorsements and declares our pointman the delegate. As long as the region's founder either does not exist or has enabled delegate controls, we can then use the controls to put up our flag, WFE, establish embassies, blah blah blah.

If you want a more in-depth explanation, feel free to contact me :)
