The Order of the Grey Wardens

[Drop Your Pants]

The darkspawn lead was not online for the update, so the Wardens lazily strolled into the region five minutes before it was due to update. This should be taken only as a temptation for Drop Your Pants to join the Order.

Not early enough for my version of triggering but you've got me. I've got 2 days of free WA.....urgh remembering switcher names.

Woo-hoo! I'm doing activity and stuff! Take that, real life!

Sandbox?

I predict a tantrum incoming.

You're not wrong!

There is actually a bit more to that screen shot, but the flaming is so over the top that posting it to the Gameplay forum might get me warned.

I heard there were death threats involved.

I dunno, are death threats and an emphatically expressed desire to murder specific people the same thing?

I guess it would depend on the wording. "I hope ____ dies in a car crash" would be wishing death and "I'm going make ____ die in a car crash" would be a death threat. Both are bad either way.

I heard there were death threats involved.

It wasn't pretty, and frankly not acceptable, but I think that 'flaming' is probably the most accurate descriptor for what I've seen. It reads more like hyperbole and a very angry reaction than an actual desire that someone die.

Yeah.

On a happier note, it was fun working with you tonight Guy. A good way to put the cherry on top of a night of successes.

I sure hope it was you or this would be really awkward.

Wardens making quick work of HYDRA darkspawn

What an update! The Grey Wardens managed to defend 8 regions, leaving the broken bodies of HYDRA's darkspawn in their wake. It all started with the defense of California in the first minute of update which signaled our good fortune to come. We then traveled from region to region, putting the enemy down. Commander of the Grey, Tim Stark, managed to string together a series of consecutive successful defenses where he was given the honor of wielding the banhammer. The newest member of the South Pacific Special Forces, Roavin, was also introduced to combat tonight and enjoyed his first lead, impressing his peers and this Warden. Between the regions successfully defended and those missed entirely, it must've been one frustrating night for the enemy.

What can we say, we see Darkspawn and we terminate said Darkspawn.

Happy to have racked up 8 Darkspawn kills this update, some before they even resigned WA.

Meh, talk to me when you get like 11 and they're all before they resign from the WA

Tell you what, stop missing so many regions that we can actually rack up that number and we'll chat

Way to keep everyone on their toes. It was an engaging battlefield to say the least.

Heh, between HYDRA and Alexandria you could have gotten up to 11

The Wardens look on as the Darkspawn run past the towns they were after

Another update and another horde of Darkspawn put down by the hand of the Wardens. The horde began by attacking their former friends in the Brotherhood of Shadows, only to have the Wardens take it for themselves. The update continued with 4 defenses, while additionally pressuring the Darkspawn into missing several more of their targets and leaving their successes scarce. The speed and accuracy of the Wardens was on display, in hopes of encouraging the horde to stay in their hole for the days to come.

"Attacking former friends"?! NOOOO D:
to clarify, I posted this target was because it was already tag raided by another raider organization and considered fixing that, but, every active member moved onto Hydra Command. We're not missing any friends >_>

And yes, I suck.

Warden Brihimia suits up for his first patrol out

It was a foggy Thursday morning as the Wardens, bleary-eyed and under-caffeinated, suited up and headed out on patrol. All in all, six Wardens answered the call to arms, including recent recruit Brihimia who was looking to attain his vial of darkspawn blood and complete The Joining. While the patrol started quiet initially, darkspawn from Hydra Command were spotted and The Grey Wardens, along with allies from the AWP Regional Defense Force and the South Pacific Special Forces, rushed into battle! After multiple skirmishes and clashes, the Wardens all in all came out victorious, defending four regions from The Blight and keeping Hydra to only a few successful hits. Most excitingly, now-Warden Brihimia attained his vial of darkspawn blood and completed his joining successfully, ready now to combat the tainted menace at all turns.

That was fun seeing my friends on the tagfields!

[Bodobol]

I actually set my alarm early enough today to wake up for minor (11am here).

And then I slept through it anyway.

Good job to everyone who participated!

[Yuno10]

I love how we were outnumbered 2:9.
It made things rly exciting >w<

[Vando0sa]

Outnumbered two to NINE? Raiders are the underdogs now.. I'll have to puff out and squeak aggressively to scare some of those defenders away..

Warden Bodobol enjoying his first taste of the banhammer in years

We've done it! Exactly a month after the Order had returned, the Wardens had an update in which no successful invasions were allowed. Our first few victories were scored at the expense of our friends over in Kingdom of Alexandria, but we know that they'll grow to be something special in the coming months. The tail end of update saw darkspawn hailing from Firehelm succumbing to the holy might of the Wardens. All in all, five raids were attempted and five raids were thwarted.

I just want to break character for a minute and just say that this past month has been the most fun I've had on NationStates in a few years. I'm so glad that I decided to try this again and I can not thank those of you who have joined me enough. I'll probably make another post about our first month in the coming days, but I just had to share that.

My jumping was horrendously slow the entire update. But indeed, I did get to ban people tonight so that was fun.

I'm looking forward to much more banhammering in the future.

[Sygian II]

Nice to see the Wardens grow. I'll see you all on the field of battle!
