I don't think being lecture on accountability by someone from Lily, is really necessary. You lot are the least accountable region because some how you lot got both sides of R/D to trust you while y'all hand information to each side. XD If we should have anyone accountable it should be wishy washy folx like y'all.

I mean you've proven in the other threads about this all I need to do is say is "XKI" told me and it's enough to stop any questions from you. ;) "So XKI told me?"

It’s called “being independent”

And I don’t see any more accountability from defender regions.

Ah, you don’t have any justification for your bullshit, so you create an untrue "stance" I have supposedly taken and attack that. As I’m not thick, my questions won’t stop. What is your source?

Not wrong though - why is THX still a minister in XKI after what he did? Where's the accountability, the taking responsibility from XKI for his actions?

Telling defenders to have more accountability... yeah, I don't think raider opinions of this person or that are going to accomplish much in that department. And likewise for the inverse. Not quite Alex Jones tinfoil hat level "oh no they're trying to control you!" that I cba to quote from this thread, but like, what are you really expecting to achieve? A feeling of superiority? A little more height on your horse? I don't think so. And raiding doesn't lend itself to high horses too well anyway. Accountability comes from within a faction, not from its enemies.

i just don't understand how lukewarm 'criticism' of TBH - that they should actually punish someone for the TSP stuff - has lead to this kind of discussion.

Just going to add that late-life Ivan could very well become early Ivan if this games gets any older. :P My comment stands that organizations rarely take credit for interfering in a GCR, and the best way to disown responsibility for actions by your soldiers is to punish them.

Well, it's up to you if you consider a reprimand enough punishment for what these people did.

I mean... considering I've said both things to you in some form or another before... clearly I knew what response it would get. And I certainly didn't expect to end raiding with a single forum post. :P

Just kind of tossing it out there because the "accountability" circlejerk is self-serving and pointless.

So I was wandering through this thread and noticed that there was a lot of yappin about this and that and not enough talking about raiding. I wanted to set the record straight that we have been raiding, and at the most recent major, got a pretty decent hitcount against a sizeable host of our defender oppponents.

Having assembled their recipe and ingredients over the previous updates, The Black Hawks set out to bake the fantastic EGG CAKE. They sifted and stirred all through the night, until finally their creation was complete. They tasted it, and it was so good that the Hawks invited a friend from Lily to deliver it across NationStates! Want to come bake cake, visit the nest!

"Egg cake" as in, like... cake cake? With egg on top? I have questions.

Mainly "why would you put a plain egg on top of cake?" but also "how do you cook the cake and the egg white all the way through while still keeping the yolk nice and creamy?" and a touch of "mmmmmm can I have some please?"
