Sorry, seems that "being training material for new Wardens" is actually part of your contract for two daily updates. It's actually a subclause of the small print that gaurantees you Grey Warden Security Systems free of charge every update

[Scardino]

It looks to be a good time had by all.

Sorry Tim-chan... But it seems that Bodobol and friends were a little late on a few jumps! More fun for me

You guys are so cool you even made a post about last night that's awesome. The awesomeness of your work at major gave me nightmares. The Most Feared Military Organization in NS indeed.

Honestly I hope this new raider craze catches on and that you've found a way to have fun updating without even having to really bother natives. You've stumbled onto the solution to one of NS' biggest issues and should be awarded a Max Barry Peace Price

[Revall]

Excellent work Hawks, we need more of this on the field.

[We Are Not the NSA]

This report just made my day.

All of us, raiders and defenders, got some good training again... I hope we can play "Soulsy Says" again! It was quite fun.

Don't expect too many nights like this we do still have to *raid.*

Mine too. Seems like both sides had fun.

"Fun" is putting it nicely.

You're making me want to be a Hawk. XD

That is the point of this thread...or one of them at least

War Hawks Vote to Invade UACN!

In a stunning 19-8 vote, the War Hawks Party voted to impeach the current delegate of United Alliance Of Conservative Nations and pursue a path of more... aggressive foreign policy. This sudden vote of no confidence stunned all opposition, as it was planned entirely under the cover of an ongoing party, and the potential opposing votes were too busy hand-shaking with prospective new allies to notice the alliance forming directly under their noses.

On the Major Update of 17/7/2016, 17 updaters, a sleeper, and a trigger from The Black Hawks, Europeia, United Kingdom, and Osiris decided there was no damn point in trying to trigger effectively in the mess resulting from several thousand new nations created by the recent Imgur surge, and decided to deploy an alternative tactic - Soulsy Says, Mk.2. In this variation, all updaters counted off from 1 to 17, and over the course of update, we given various sets of instructions with only one thing in common - they started with founding a new nation and ended with moving to the target. Some were in the WA, some weren't, some were forced to go on the forums and post as Donald Trump supporters, and our sleeper played along by "recruiting" for the region, making a recruitment comment on Imgur, and welcoming in new "recruits" with open arms and discussion with a number of awake and active native on the RMB. Updaters, feel free to share your stories below! Following forty-five-minute exercise, the call for radio silence began ... and a full twelve (very tense) minute later, GO was called. Nations in the WA unendorsed the delegate and endorsed the point. Nations not in the WA join and endorsed. Defenders didn't even notice there was a raid going on until I asked if they really hadn't seen anything. Natives didn't notice until we posted on the RMB. It all went swimmingly!

I'd like to personally thank everyone who showed up, regardless of the unexpectedly funky update, with an open mind ready to follow whatever orders were given. Instead of accepting the situation as a barrier and running off with out tails between our legs, we used the situation to our advantage, pulling off a shockingly unopposed victory and proving Reppy right - "Raiders are endlessly creative." Well done, to all of you.

All of who? Well, let's see:

One last note - I said I'd do something special if a dozen Black Hawks showed up. Well, a full dozen did, so stand by to see what that is!

Thanks again to all our allies, and especially to our troops - I'm not sure if I can ever recall seeing this many Hawks on at one update, and this isn't even all of the active folks we have right now! I'm really impressed with recent activity and leadership, and I look forward to what you will bring this region in the future. Keep up the amazing work!

Let's face it Van we're going to be a little bit twitchy about endo tarting at the moment.

Nice raid Hawks, that showed a lot of inventiveness.

Liberations Repelled: Do I count the native attempt and the defender attempt separately or as one?

I believe that the natives should have their alone time in the spotlight! =P

[Panzer Vier]

_{Corporal Yuno helps dispatch a fenda!}

Panzer Vier and friends took to the skies once more, hunting down tasty morsels of food. This time, their joirnies took them not only across the world, but also into the depths of space!
(Not entirely sure what kind of food you can find up there, though. Mars bars, perhaps?)
Amongst all this hubbub, our brave hawks also managed to fly into a hypernova, where they flew around for some time before making their way out!

Hawks that flew in:
Sergeant Panzer Vier
(Light colours make stuff illegible, so once more I resort to pink for this... <3)
Corporal Yuno Hawk
Corporal TBH Caluxada
Corporal Sygian TBH
PFC Scieca VI
PFC Jason215

[TBH Caluxada]

With so little time to prepare, Sergeant Panzer Vier not only successful prepared triggers for all this regions, but managed successful 2 sets of teams to hit again and again until the entire Universe feel fear of Panzer Vier and all The Black Hawks!

Hail Panzer Vier! I'll buy a round of bier, for every tier, of military's gear, used to sear, the battlefield as the mere, presence of TBH's cheer, tear any regions hit!

[Cormactopia II]

Congratulations on your tag hits, and thanks for the support in Hypernova house!

[Raionitu]

The night was quiet, and the darkness bleak, when the natives said to themselves:

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
‘Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, ‘tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.’” -from Edgar Poe’s ‘The Raven’

And so they thought themselves safe, until out of the inky darkness, with the sounds of despair following, six Hawks swooped down, spreading misery to six lonely regions.

Hawks involved:
Sergeant Raionitu
Sergeant Panzer Vier
Sergeant Siniarus XVII
Corporal Sygian TBH
Private First Class Jason215
