Quite obviously, you seem to constantly engage in it even when many of the others involved have stopped trying to pretend. TWP and Balder propped up LWU to coup and purge Lazarus. In one of the many posts on this topic, someone helpfully even pointed out the pilers from TWP.

Does anyone need this to still be explained to them? Like, if you are new, I get it, but I knew this was going since the first month.

I'm happy someone is saying it outloud now, and I like the gif.

If Lazarus doesn't mechanically function as a Warzone, I think it could only be accurately called a "de facto Warzone" if someone were waging war on it. Is this what TSP is suggesting here? Should those regions standing behind Lazarus be concerned about any action that you might take against them as well? How far do you intend to get involved in the internal politics of the rest of us?

I don't think War is what you want. You'd like to have Lazarus' delegacy in your own hands or the hands of people that you can trust to agree with you, and you'd like to keep pushing at Lazarus until it either gives up or you get bored. But you don't want War. NPO's assuming that they are somehow superior on NS to the extent that they can define the existence of another GCR was a good giggle, but it was an insult to their own ideology and to GCRs as a whole. NPO's opinions on or desires for a region do not supersede it's eternal status. Lazarus may only become a Warzone if War is taken to it - in which case, I suppose we all better buckle down.


Well that came out of nowhere.

Take off the pink-colored glasses of fundamentalist Delegate Supremacy, and look at what you have in Lazarus. There is a war there, initiated by LWU using, essentially, sleeper tactics to get into power. Having done that, they are trashing the place as they seem fit. And LWU is getting outside support from, among others, the two regions you are a part of.

I encourage you to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

All of us have held multiple positions in various Lazarus governments, in my case spanning over a decade+. Roavin is quite seriously stating that "raiders can't be natives, no matter what". I don't think I can find a clearer example a Defender trying to stomp out the right of self-determination of natives and raiders alike. You're in a region and you and your fellow government friends want to turn it raider? You were never a native, you're a "long term sleeper".

This is exactly the sort of the Defenderist double-think what the Wolfist Manifesto warns people about.

Please point to the part of my post where I stated that.

Actually, let me save you the trouble - You can't. Don't put words in my mouth. I could care less if you're raiders, defenders, reverse presbyterian goat-cheese aficionados, gay, straight, libertarian, republican, communist, christian, buddhist, NatSov, IntFed, or anything else. You've taken Lazarus in the name of your UCR and started purging anything that didn't immediately play the part of your non-native-imposed agenda. If Vinny did the same in the name of TGW, I'd complain just as much.

You claimed that those in control of the Khanate of Lazarus are long term sleepers, "essentially". The implication of that thought process is very telling indeed.

I am sure that your WFE at one time stated "Lazarus Wolves United". You have changed it since then but the connection is obvious.

You must have missed the bit where three LWU sleepers couped the native government, waiting for the headlines to die down before handing the delegacy over to another LWU member who put 'Lazarus Wolves United' in the WFE, making dispatched clearly named after elements of LWU.

Definetly no connections at all to the LWU...

And the TBH flag has flown over assorted GCRs at various points, including by Syberis when they gained the Osiris delegacy. Doesn't mean those regions are owned by TBH

Calling long time native raiders "sleepers" doesn't make you sound clever, it just makes you sound like believe that no raider can be a native of any region. Proving Wolfism right, yet again.

A lot of this seems like the same propaganda we heard in July from Ike, Llama, and Ark's coup faction, just kicked up a notch.

Lone Wolves United has never claimed to have taken over Lazarus, Lazarus has not "fallen" to our long time allies in LWU, and Defenders continue to expose their true intentions through their clumsy dishonesty and proof-less lies.

I don't know of any TEP puppets, but TWP is a treaty ally of Lazarus, as is Balder. Is Lazarus not allowed to have allies anymore because our entire government has been declared "raider sleepers and not natives" by Imperialist Defenders who want the region for themselves?

I, for one, applaud the NPO's brave actions. It's a difficult decision, to be forced to downgrade a sister GCR to the status of a mere warzone, but Lazarus has truly merited the action. The region has been so thoroughly infiltrated by Userites, many of whom have proven to be nothing but retirees and failed regionbuilders themselves, that it is likely to take years for the region to recover from their taint. Pour one out for the homies, and pour an extra one out for the loss of a formerly grand sinker region.

I only hope that our remaining three sinkers can continue on despite the loss of their sibling.

Still the 'LWU has done nothing' rhetoric? Your WFE literally said Lazarus Wolves United, and this Wolfism crap wasn't named that out of the blue was it? It is raider subversion. You are no better than your predecessors.

I figured raiders would be proud of a raid that big. The Hawks had no problem saying they nuked Westphalia with millions of pilers.

I believe the "rhetoric" is mostly on your side, attempting to paint a picture that doesn't exist and justifying it with cries of "raider subversion". For shame.

Are we not allowed to make a joke, thumbing our noses at those who have been falsely screaming "raider subversion" since the July Coup attempt?


Indo-Malaysia wrote:this Wolfism crap wasn't named that out of the blue was it?


Wolfism is a raider philosophy that has existed since March of 2007. Kogvuron even wrote "A Critique of the Wolfist Manifesto" for TRT way back in 2014. Kogvuron himself called the Manifesto "arguably one of the most important documents in the history of military gameplay".

You're very correct that it wasn't "named out of the blue", since it's a decade old raider school of thought.
