FA Update

Postby Jakker » Mon May 08, 2017 9:26 am

News from the Nest


Council of the Hawks
Commander in Chief: Commander Red Back
Foreign Affairs Director: General Jakker
Field Marshal: General Ever-Wandering Souls
Technical Wizard: Colonel Koth
Orientation Coordinator: Major Sygian
Head of Training: Lieutenant Raionitu

COUNCIL CHANGES

Towards the end of March, Raionitu was added to the Council of the Hawks and took over Training. Sygian, who previously was in charge of training, now handles the transition process of getting new recruits onto the discord server and ready for training. As Orientation Coordinator, Syg has working hard to promote the mission of TBH University. Council Members Sygian II and Reventus Koth were both promoted to Major and Colonel respectively.

Antiochus Denral was promoted to Lieutenant and given the position of Deputy Field Marshal. Vapid and Rai now serve as Deputies behind FM Souls.


ESQUARIUM RAIDED

Right before April Fools, The Black Hawks had one of the most fun updates in some time. After joking for some time about raiding TRR, 40+ troops from TBH, Europeia, Hellenic Empire, Conch Kingdom, The Kingdom of Great Britain, Arda En Estel, and The Dominion of Tartarus came together in Illuminati. Nations were ejected to The Rejected Realms where a native was endorsed. As defenders and others scrambled on Discord and NS to support TRR's delegate, raiding troops moved to Esquarium to endorse Jakker's sleeping puppet, Rediar.

While the raid only lasted 12 hours until the founder came back, it was a showing of TBH's creative raiding techniques. Meanwhile, Illuminati has since been emptied and is now permanently in TBH's control.


JAK ATTACK

With the annual April Fool's event came nuking galore. The Black Hawks created a faction named Jak Attack and were quickly enemy number one of several regions. Even though Jak Attack was the most targeted faction, TBH showed their Moves like Jakker to take out many of the factions against them. After a strong push at the end, Jak Attack finished 2nd in all of NationStates with only a few thousand points away from the leader. The best part of the event was that because of TBH, the faction of The Grey Wardens finished dead last in points.


TRIGGERED

Several Hawks have taken part in leading raids as of late. Antiochus Denral (Vapid) and Greyed (Greyview) have been consistently leading quality tag runs. We have also seen Moneyness, Panzer Vier (Derps) Serboro (Valkyrie), and even dinosaur Jakker lead raids recently. TBH has had great participation in activity up and down the region and we look forward to seeing what the summer holds!

“Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!” I shrieked, upstarting—
“Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”

Deep into that darkness peering, long the defenders stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
Moneyness gave the GO and The Black Hawks raided more and more.

We have former predator users in our ranks already. While the fact that someone used predator is an important aspect to consider, there are other factors to think about since many were unawarely breaking rules. We also look at the player themselves and the qualities/characteristics/factors that led to what predator became. There are former predator users that TBH have chosen to not work with because of various concerning behaviors exhibited that we believe would go against our goal of protecting the community and region.

At this time, we are willing to give HC an opportunity. He appears very much unlike other negative players that he may be associated with in people's minds. From my interactions with him, he seems sincere in wanting to be a positive member of gameplay and The Black Hawk community.

We had to raid the regions in order to save them.

Despite a lack of numbers initially, and a plethora of technical difficulties later on, they managed to pull through for a successful operation and fun night for all involved. Special congratulations to Moneyness, this being his first raid as a Sergeant, and to Vars, this being his first as a Corporal! Huzcaw!

Hawks rock on
Long time ago me and Jakker here,
We was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon.
In the middle of the road.
And he said:
"Raid the best raid in the world, or I'll eat your soul."
Well me and Jakker, we looked at each other,
And we each said. "Okay."
And we raided the first things that popped up on the sheet,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Raid in the World, it was The Best Raid in the World.

Hawks Involved:
Lieutenant Antiochus Denral
General Jakker
Sergeant Moneyness
PFC Hired Contractor IV
