The hawks, shotgunning out their hits.

Today, our brave force of seven hawks rushed into action, spreading out to cause as much havoc as possible! Working together as small units, they swept through a total of 29 regions, the highest amount recorded since the Predator fiasco!
Despite being shot down numerous times by angry Wardens, Panzer Vier and co. persevered, and by sheer volume managed to win the day!

Looks like the stymied wardens will be eating crow today, rather than the plump, juicy hawks they'd envisioned...

Minor, July 26

In a quiet update, Panzer Vier ventured out into the field, accompanied only by PFC Scieca. Despite their small numbers, they remained unmolested by fendas, and made a number of hits, sweeping through a Warzone on the way!

Woooooo! Record breaking like a boss, and as I understand it this is just a fraction of your goal.

How many teams was that with, just curious?

I guess I've always been partial to the real record being the one that's the most set by a single team.

Iirc that was a two-team chain style run, ninish people, at a minor but during a Reddit boost. I think the single team record is 83 at a major. What counts as a team tends to blur though with uses of revolving points, scattershot methods, etc. I put more emphasis into number of hits than total triggers/switches.

I guess my count is specifically just one group not splitting up for regions and such. So something like scattershot where they go off into different regions would be breaking into teams, albeit only for one jump but still.

83 is rather impressive for a single-team for sure, though.

No one tries to stop detags onna regular basis. No interceptions and you can move as early as you want. Though I suppose these days the hard part would be finding that many tags :P

I mean we eventually just put in the policy that we'd only jump for natives, because it was so pointless otherwise.

Now, however, it's a good time all around :)
