I'm not digging the impersonation. Ain't it game illegal to use another org's flag in that manner?

Pretty sure it is, like EWS said. It's over now, anyway.

Speaking of delusions: The United Right Wing States is not a Third Rome op per your raid WFE. You've 'seized' nothing from Third Rome. Of course you know that.

Nothing about TR here: http://i.imgur.com/ETbresy.jpg

United Capitalist States of America requested TR support about a month ago. I told him we had no interest in two-month-old backwater bs, population 3 (CTE founder's puppets). Had that been a TR op, you would have confronted a 35+ WA anchor chain.

UCSoA hasn't logged in for ten days; his TURWS WAD puppet CTEd today. Clearly, he lost interest in babysitting his turd. Aye, you've really accomplished one helluva big whoop.

—Woodhouse

Capitalist Powers is a member of Third Rome, is it not? Taking one of their "occupied zones" is a strike at TR, even if it's just a strike at one of your satellite "turds."

Aye, so is NE. NE does a whole lot of business independent of TR, e.g., CIL, Palestine, Islam, Imperial France, Islamofascism. NE’s flag, not Third Rome’s is on those regions. There are no embassies with TR. TR isn’t credited with the success of NE business; TR isn’t accountable for NE op failures, aborted ops, etc.

Third Rome’s flag is on Communist Beach because even though VH and I technically captured and destroyed CB ourselves, the op was approved by the Third Rome (then RWU) triumvirate. Serp, VH and I consulted each other from start to finish. The original plan called for a short-term coalition occupation. When the invisible came up and it appeared CB was destined to languish behind a permanent pw, we changed strategy and bided our time.

Misley wrote:Taking one of their "occupied zones" is a strike at TR, even if it's just a strike at one of your satellite "turds."


Again, Third Rome denied United Capitalist States of America’s request for coalition support in TURWS. Neither Capitalist Powers nor TURWS is a TR satellite. I do acknowledge, however, that outer space factors into your logic equation propaganda.

If I subscribed to your convoluted reasoning, I’d be crowing about striking The Red Fleet and The MT Army in Islamofascism. After all, TRF and MT maintain a steadfast presence in feminist controlled Leninist Russia. See that last post on LR’s RMB? NE crapped on Chessmistress’s attempts to grab Islamofascism. The same cast of characters who inhabit Women Empire control LR.

Sorry I can’t give you a right back atcha when it comes to gameplay honesty. You know I’m telling the truth when I say that since La P’s deletion, the only thing I can recall TRF doing independently that demonstrates an iota of prowess was Leninist Russia. You give REATO hell for being shitty updaters yet they've managed to capture some big commie prizes like La P's precious Grenada. I could be wrong, but I think Grenada and Angola were update captures.

REATO has also infiltrated commie regions, grabbed commie passwords and refounded commie regions when the spotlight was on them. You've done none of that, Misley. All you’ve got up your sleeve are one-trick pony payback tags on embassy regions with founders and backwater crud loosely connected to Libertatem and RWU/TR that no one gives two shits about.

Yelsim/Libertatem RMB: It didn't distract us from bigger fish (the ongoing antifascist operation in The United Right Wing States)

That you think a two-month-old region rejected by Third Rome and eventually by Capitalist Powers’ founder, whose TURWS WAD puppet went inactive and CTEd, is ‘big fish’ says it all.

It's a desperate historical reference meant to confer some legitimacy. It's a flawed comparison on so many levels, but hey, whatever gets you there.

NEWS · NATIONSTATES · MILITARY

Glorious Nations of Iwaku fell victim Saturday night to a tag raid by The Red Fleet and Korean Peoples Army, who took the delegate seat after silently entering the region a week ago.
The operation, titled "Red Dragon” after Iwaku founder Vandoosa’s nickname for the communist sphere on NationStates, marks the first time Iwaku has been raided. Iwaku’s 229 embassies and more than 300 members made it a very substantial target, though it came under the sights of The Red Fleet (nicknamed "Aka-kantai” for the operation) and Korean Peoples Army (similarly represented by the Japanese translation of its name, "Chōsen-Jinmingun”) for other reasons.

"Iwaku shared embassies with Nazi Europa, The Fascist Union, and Union of Nationalists—the number of embassies that it shared with fascist regions, combined with its large population, placed Iwaku at the top of our targeting computer’s suggestion list for some time,” explains The Red Fleet’s Fleet Admiral, Misley. "Add in the fact that Iwaku was one of the participants in the raid on Congress of Armed Proletarian States last year and the only remaining vulnerable participant, and you have a target that we simply could not ignore.”

The Red Fleet and Korean Peoples Army began placing sleeper puppets into the region last week. The order to activate sleepers was given on Thursday, with all sleepers activated by Saturday night in time for major update. The entry of sleepers was not detected until Friday night, when a member of Iwaku mentioned Kaede’s endorsement count to Vandoosa.

Vandoosa explains, "I saw all the anime-friendly nations moving in when my recruitment telegram ran out, and all of them joining WA at one time.” An odd work schedule made it possible for her to be online at update. "I almost went to work tonight but found out my department is not running. I knew Kaede was collecting endorsements but I’d not have known for sure if I was stuck packing chicken today!”

At first, Vandoosa believed that Kaede was a former Iwaku resident who had controlled multiple WA accounts to take control of Iwaku’s delegate. After the region updated, the split TRF/KPA flag was hoisted over the region, clarifying who was responsible. The region’s world factbook entry was also updated, along with the addition of a dispatch showing the spooky scary skeleton monster of left unity stomping through Iwaku.

The Red Fleet and Korean Peoples Army have now struck back at all participants in the CAPS raid that are vulnerable. Two participants, The Federal Islands and Anti Authoritarian Alliance, have been refounded and remain under leftist guard.

The Red Fleet announces promotions and decorations following Operation Red Dragon
Senior Sailor Sween is promoted to Petty Officer.

Lieutenant Proletaire is promoted to Captain for contributions to planning that was crucial to the operation’s success.

All raid participants in The Red Fleet are awarded the medal "Red Dragon" for their service. Image

Probably? Definitely :P He sat there and watched to see who it was and how they played things out, since he knows exactly how little they could do compared to him as founder. Now, as a guy who's supported raids for for the mere purpose of breaking a several-year delegate streak.

Of course Vandoosa let us hit Iwaku. Anyone who was watching or paying attention knows that. The fact that it was allowed and not a surprise is something that we will work on in TRF, but I think having the "Endorsement Count" WA Census in the middle of our sleeper activation was just bad luck.

Like I said in the article: Iwaku was the largest region with the most embassies that came up as a valid target in our targeting computer (having fash embassies or the Fascist tag). They were also the last vulnerable participant in the CAPS raid. We've now hit the largest target in our list.

The communist tags were added by us. It was, after all, a "tag" raid. :P

They may have worked with TCB, but that doesn't change the fact that they were a valid target. I told Vandoosa we would get them back for CAPS, and now we have.

We never had any interest in any kind of long-term raid on Iwaku, and that wouldn't change if Vandoosa had CTEd. Our goal was only ever a tag raid.

It feels good see TRF in strenght again, moving relatively fast these days. o/

I had intention for join to party, but unexpected arrival of Isken, past shared raider experiences with Vandy, as well as some regional arrangements, caused certain conflict of interests, that I had this time luckily good way to avoid. :)

Misley, if you manage organize TRF & allies' army capable do "tag raids" of this level of scale some 30 times in an one update, its pretty much what "expanded schemes" would be when becoming the reality.

Anyway, good organisation. P.

They had it out for me for a long time now.. the whole CAPS thing.. Iwaku invading Syria years back leading to me discovering North Korea.. then I sorta told MingMing we'd reduce North Korea to a sea of flames for no reason other than to spread chaos.. And there was one time our mercenaries worked with the GGR.. We've had some history in terrorism in the past.. but most don't notice because we are just so cute!

Red + Black goes interregional as NSLeft sees surge in activity
NEWS · NATIONSTATES · NSLEFT

Red + Black, begun in 2014 as a news service for The Internationale, has reorganized as a news service for the entire NationStates Left. The restructuring comes as the NationStates Left is reviving strong interregional ties and expanding unity through new interregional projects and events, as we saw this summer with the return of LeftExpo. North Korea's Central Committee has begun a series of educational essays on real-life left topics, and the cooperation of their KPA with The Red Fleet and other leftist militaries has led to overwhelming success.

Red + Black sat down with Proletaire, lead organizer of the NSLeft project, to talk about his vision for the future of the left on NationStates.

Red + Black: Let's address the elephant in the room: What makes NSLeft different from the ill-fated Congress of Armed Proletarian States?

Proletaire: It's a continuation of the idea of CAPS, but NSLeft is not a democratic project made up of regional representatives like CAPS was. It's still being developed, so regional delegates might become a part of the project in the future, in some limited fashion. The purpose of NSLeft is still to bring comrades closer together by improving interregional communication and to promote left-wing causes within the NationStates World.

R+B: How will NSLeft work to promote left-wing movements on NationStates?

P: I've been entertaining the idea of holding a permanent exhibition of NSLeft member regions in a dispatch, like LeftExpo. NSLeft also promotes affiliated projects, like the Marxist Scholars Circle and Antifa, in the NSLeft World Factbook Entry. The goal of NSLeft is to promote activity on these fronts, and the first step toward that is getting comrades to communicate with one another across regional lines.

The first step toward this is to allow open embassy posting and use interregional IRC. The second step is to make comrades aware of regional and organizational matters in NS Gameplay, which is really the purpose of the Red + Black. It's my hope that by bringing comrades closer together and making them aware of what's going on around them, we can strengthen NSLeft as a whole.

R+B: IRC is relatively new to the NationStates Left, despite its long-time widespread adoption (or use of alternatives, like Skype) by much of the NationStates community. The Internationale, the largest region on the revolutionary left, only this month adopted an off-site forum. Do you think that the adoption of these off-site projects and games (such as TI's GTA5 crew or roleplaying area) will help build camaraderie, or do you think they will instead distract leftists from combating fascists and reactionaries?

P: Let's face it: there's not much to do on NationStates. The most important parts of gameplay occur within the two scheduled update times. As long as we are active during those times, our struggle against our enemies will continue.

We all know that the regional message board is largely inefficient, particularly in larger regions. Conversations are disorganized and eventually fizzle out because it's too difficult to keep up with them. The forum solves these problems. IRC makes communication even easier, because it's direct and instant. It's especially useful for military operations, because orders can be given and acted upon immediately.

Finally, the forum and IRC channel give us the freedom to discuss whatever we would like without interference from NationStates moderators.

R+B: Where do you see NSLeft as an interregional project one year from now?

P: As the alliance of leftist regions, assisting their political development and strengthening ties between comrades on the gameplay front.

R+B: Thanks for your time, comrade.

P: My pleasure. Image



The Red Fleet, Korean Peoples Army continue successful summer campaign into fall
NEWS · NATIONSTATES · MILITARY · THE RED FLEET · KOREAN PEOPLES ARMY

The Red Fleet and their comrades-in-arms in the Korean Peoples Army have enjoyed a successful campaign against REATO and fascist targets over the summer, with over twenty operations executed since June, making summer 2015 one of the most active periods for Antifa and the NationStates left in years.

Retribution for last year's attack on the Congress of Armed Proletarian States drove several operations, including a notable tag raid on Glorious Nations of Iwaku, which marks the largest region ever raided by leftist militaries, and the total destruction of Anti Authoritarian Alliance and its predecessor region UCR. Comrades who participated in these operations were decorated with medals by The Red Fleet.

Fleet Admiral Misley credits the close cooperation between the Fleet and KPA with the success of the left. "We have grown much closer over the past several months, and that enriched camaraderie has translated to the battlefield."

The Red Fleet attributes its share of the success to its expanding membership, bolstered by the merger of three leftist militaries in July. The Red Fleet absorbed the Red Army of the USSR and United Soviet Socialist Fleet into the Comintern Squadron, adding its leaders Esch and Vetelo as Joint Squadron Admirals. Existing sailors of The Red Fleet were shifted into the newly-formed Durruti Squadron, led by veteran Squadron Admiral Timchiland. This expansion of the Admiralty Board marks the first time there have been four active Red Fleet Admirals since shortly after November 2013.

Godless Monkey, General of the Korean Peoples Army, speaks to the committed loyalty and strength of its comradeship with The Red Fleet. "North Korea and the Korean Peoples Army are at the vanguard of the NationStates Left, along with The Red Fleet, and are committed to fighting fascists, neo-confederates, and propertarians across NationStates."

As summer months give way to autumn, TRF and KPA plan to keep the pressure on. Image

The partisan split in The Communist Bloc between the United Zennyist Front (UZF) and Socialist Labour Party (SLP) boiled over last week when chatlogs were leaked that apparently detailed plans shared by SLP politicians in high-level party discussions to crack down on Zennyism after taking power and included an apparent announcement of the creation of a UZF-aligned paramilitary.

The SLP criticisms echo statements issued by leaders on the NationStates Left for the past year—that TCB had established a cult of personality around past president Zenny.

"I propose that we begin working on a bill to bring the regional WFE (World Factbook Entry) under neutral regional control," an unknown SLP official is quoted saying in an "SLP Inner Party" chat. Another SLP official using the moniker "NaziMiggyHitler" asked "[What] the fuck does [the WFE] say?" The reply: "Just a lot of Zennyist propaganda."

A press release announcing the creation of a paramilitary apparently affiliated with the UZF was quoted in the chatlogs. It reads, in part, "The Politburo has voted 3-2 in the selection of a name of the planned armed wing of our Party. The winning option was Guards of the Zennyist Revolution. As noted in the previous update, the armed wing will be a volunteer defensive force of the region to train an anti-treasonous action and create an experienced and active defensive ideological force." Comparisons were drawn between the proposed paramilitary; the Lebanese militant party, Hezbollah; and Ukraine's fascist paramilitary and party, Right Sector.

In the wake of the release of the chatlogs, president and UZF member Phazon Winter resigned his post as President of The Communist Bloc. Vice President Navbot Winter, also a UZF member, resigned upon his succession to the region's highest office, leaving Minster for Foreign Affairs Brunhilde Winter in the hot seat.

In her inaugural address, Brunhilde laid out a platform of de-Zennyization, through which The Communist Bloc would rein in Zennyist propaganda in an effort to assert its own regional identity. With this was included a proposal to abolish political parties, and in their place establishing a single overarching "Worker's Party" based on Marxist-Leninist vanguard theory.

In a post to TCB's forum, Zenny admitted that party politics had taken center stage in TCB. "I can say without a doubt that parties absolutely drive divide and dirty politics give it legitimacy. My party and I have the most to lose; however, I am willing to put partisan politics aside for the good of the region. Otherwise, TCB will not be a viable project for long. People will continue to be driven away from our political atmosphere until it is nothing but capitalists and opportunists."

This, too, echoes criticisms directed from the Left at TCB, whose laissez-faire approach to regional membership has enabled it to swell to over 1,000 members at the expense of allowing bourgeois and liberal elements to pervade the region. Even reactionaries, like Libertatem's former President, Conservative Idealism, are permitted to hold TCB citizenship and eligibility for regional government.

Met by vocal opposition, particularly from the SLP, Zenny remarked "I guess TCB is simply doomed to be a revisionist bourgeois democracy forever." Shortly afterwards, Zenny left The Communist Bloc.

Time will tell if this departure is permanent, and how The Communist Bloc will respond to the progress of de-Zennyization. Image



Irish Peoples Republic elected Comrade WA Delegate of The Internationale
NEWS · NATIONSTATES · THE INTERNATIONALE

In the first contested election in The Internationale since June 2014, newcomer Irish Peoples Republic has taken the delegacy with sixty-eight percent of the vote over established candidate Auhl.

IPR's election also marks the first time since June 2014 that someone other than Auhl or Proletaire has served as the region's elected Comrade WA Delegate.

In June 2014, while The Internationale was still in its backup region "The International," Auhl won their first term as Comrade WA Delegate in a race against The Vegetable at the conclusion of Vegetable's first term as Delegate. Auhl's term ended in November 2014 but Auhl returned to the seat in January after Comrade WA Delegate Proletaire ceased to exist. Auhl continued to hold the Delegate seat until Proletaire was again elected Comrade WA Delegate in June 2015.

Between Auhl and Proletaire have been interdelegata—delegates who have not been elected. Jah Paradise was delegate by game mechanics for a month following Proletaire's January inactivity-caused deletion, and Piscenia has held the seat since Proletaire resigned from the World Assembly at the conclusion of his term.

Auhl and Proletaire are the two longest-serving Delegates in regional history. Proletaire has held the seat for 486 days, split between TI's early years and today, while Auhl has served for a combined 303 days. The next-closest Delegate, Misley, held the seat for 192 days which included the Defense of The Internationale. Image

Sailors from The Red Fleet hoist their ensign over the vanquished region

In an operation conceived and executed by The Red Fleet, soldiers and sailors from Danger Zone, DEN, Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army, Europeian Republican Navy, Federation of Anarchist Communes, Fort Chernyi, Korean Peoples Army (North Korea), the North Pacific Army, People's Revolutionary Armed Forces (The Communist Bloc), Royal Navy (The Kingdom of Great Britain), Taijitu Citizens' Militia, and The Black Hawks stormed into the region under flag and took the delegate seat from Verborgenen Herrn after the veteran fash lead had been there for only one update.

Organization began six hours before update, when Herrn had only twenty-five endorsements. Twelve sailors from The Red Fleet and two soldiers from the Korean Peoples Army were the first to respond to the call to arms, with other militaries signing on as the evening progressed. The operation brought together regions and militaries that have historically been at odds, including soldiers from Fort Chernyi, the successor to the TRF/KPA-raided Anti Authoritarian Alliance; and soldiers from TCB's People's Revolutionary Armed Forces, proving that antifascist action bridges even deep divides.

With a precise trigger set by The Red Fleet, soldiers and sailors poured into the Nazi region twenty seconds before it updated, leaving the fash delegate only enough time to eject six soldiers before losing the seat. Sleepers in the region withdrew their endorsements from the fash delegate, dropping Herrn below point Seditia's 40 endorsements at update. Immediately following update, reservists from participating militaries and antifa regions began pouring into GGR to bolster the antifascist foothold.

"I'm incredibly pleased with our success tonight," said Red Fleet Admiral Misley, who served as trigger and pointman for the operation. "When we started around 6pm, we weren't sure if we would have enough troops to take the delegate seat after ejection attrition, but after all was said and done, we sailed past the fash—and that's something that was only possible because so many people came out, so a big thanks goes to all of the commanders and people who recruited soldiers to tonight's operation."

Antifascists involved in the operation only had six hours to get troops together while the fascists had a full 24 hours to get their soldiers into the region. The failure of the fascists to hold GGR for longer than a single update speaks to the state of Third Rome. Image
