That was me. Sorry about that. I sent it before I started spamming the reports page refresh. I was totally switched off of that nation before I had the chance to see the replies.

Great reporting Tim. Completely accurate, as always.

Well, comrade, if you'd be so kind as to use your reading skills and context clues, you'll notice that the timestamps indicate that we defended it two nights ago and they raided it this past minor update.

Guess we'll have to detag everything as well.

Defending Forces Oversee Major Victories in Markion and Christmas


More than thirty invaders staged up tonight. More than thirty invaders failed twice in capturing a worthwhile target. How you ask? Super easy, barely an inconvenience. It turns that all you need to stop The Black Hawks and their friends from succeeding is being better at jumping into regions than them, and having very good clairvoyance about where they're ordering their troops to move. Everything beyond that is a piece of cake really. We're incredibly thankful for all those turned out so we could eat cake together. We're sorry to The Black Hawks that they didn't get any cake, but maybe you can try harder and find more people for the next operation.


This marks three occupation attempts in the last week that The Black Hawks have attempted and subsequently failed to secure due to timely Defender Intervention.


We here at The Grey Wardens are obviously rather excited by this occurrence, and would like to thank all those who turned out from whatever military they may have joined the efforts from. We saw seven different defender and defender-aligned military groups present in today's defenses, totaling over thirty individuals, which is a phenomenal turnout and a real demonstration of faction growth and unity! For those who have been sitting on the sidelines, wondering if it's a fun time to get involved in R/D, there's no better time to enlist in the fight against the raider scourge. Whatever your particular brand of Defender is, even if it's only defending sometimes while maintaining a more independent nature, we've got a military group within the Libcord umbrella that can fit your interests! Come join us in glorious battle, and you too can see how fun it is to hang out in our Voice Chat, take part in our events, and just enjoy generally good vibes.

Ultimately, the raiders spent 25+ updaters settling on a backwater founderless region with no native delegate. We hope to bring you stories of that liberation soon, but in the mean time let's all bask in their inability to capture anything substantive.

Congrats on the high turnout. Good numbers on both sides - I believe 35 on our side and 30ish on your side, although I’d have to check. Credit where credit is due, good guesses too. Third time’s the charm, I suppose :P

This was a very fun night. Thank you for reporting on it, Tim. I haven't seen clairvoyance play out in real time like that since 2016. The sheer amount of brainstorming and tactics reform I've witnessed in the past few months makes me believe that there's great things on the horizon for our cause.

Don't let that distract you from the fact that we mobilised almost 50 defenders a few minors ago. There's still hope for minor-only folks!

I would be more impressed if half of the defender force was not made up of cosmopolitan raiders that roll dice to see which side they are on these days.

What is a good term for people in that category? Bandwagon Riders? Turncoats? The word I would like to use would result in my punishment, so I reserve it for DM's. :)

Facts.

If Drunken Conquerors is complaining about us, we’re probably doing something right.

The Grey Wardens are happy to collaborate with whatever military, barring obvious OOC exceptions, wants to work together to accomplish our mutual goals. We have never shied away from broader cooperation, and are happy to help any group get involved. I find that our ability to work with such a breadth of groups demonstrates not scandal or weakness, as DC suggests, but instead rather demonstrates the strength of our diplomatic outreach and viability as a military partner.

Attero/Vetelo/Sarah/Atte/Whatever you go by nowadays, the earlier statement about ones disapproval being evidence that things are going well applies to you just as well.

A failed raider whose biggest claim to fame is being a fan of multiple DoS players is not one that I hope newcomers to gameplay aim to emulate in their careers.
