Much better than your minor turnout when we saw 2 taggers getting ready then gave up when 15+ defenders crossed :P

Much like the Cavaliers will come back from an initial loss, so did we.

It was a good time, Hawks, looking forward to the next one!

To my awareness, TBH has raided the following regions (at least) in order to promote RaiderCon: Christmas Dogetastic, Arrgh (which you may remember as Scieca's last port of call before being declared DoS), Federation of Free States, The Assembly of The Cordillera, Dar al Islam, Kazikstanian Peninsula, Federation of Lone Star States.

In addition, TBH took over AJF (presumably joined by many other founderless regions) in an raid completely unrelated to the RaiderCon promotion raid. Neither raid was reported on this thread.
Mods, please tug this post to the RaiderCon thread if you feel that this post is better served there.

"Therefore, you have received Hawkdar, so you must raid just as you were taught, abounding in his flawless triggering." - Invasionus 2:8

Early June, Hawks 'round the world made their annual pilgrimage to the Holy Feathery Temple, where they joined as brethren to pray and offer their admiration, worship, contrition, and supplication to the almighty Hawkdar. Hawkdar granted his children with fine triggers, and a plethora new recruits to help their raids flourish wondrously. Update after update, Hawks have seen success due not to just their Hawk Father, but to their own courage and relentless strive for triumph and prosperity of NationStates just as Hawkdar has asked.














Hawk Father who art in the Nest,
Hallowed be thy raids
Thy triggers comes
Thy sleeping done,
During minor as it is during major,
Give us this day our daily tags,
And forgive us our failed raids,
As we forgive those who defend against us,
And lead us not into forgetting the point nation,
But deliver us from natives,
Invademen
