If you've been on NationStates for a bit, I'm sure your region had an embassy with this region. If not, you still probably have heard of them.
In the January edition of "The Cable" (NS news, published by The Embassy) they wrote a whole article about "Lily" and it's embassy collection. It's strange that not long after, the region got invaded by them. I guess that's what Lily does.
At this point, it doesn't look like The Embassy will ever come back to where it was. Every single embassy the prominent region collected over 6 years are being withdrawn, and their RMB has been made to be an advertisement for Lily.
It's sad for The Embassy, but a massive accomplishment for Lily. This opens up doors for other regions such as Gypsy Lands with 1238 embassy's. This way, it removes a competitor, and let's other regions become the next prominent one.
It wouldn't be fair, though, to rule out the possibility of defenders or the founder taking it back. You never know what might happen.
Every region has an end, and this is where it (most likely) ends for The Embassy.

Literally how did they find out the password? Did a member of The Embassy join Lily or something? Or did they use an algorithm to crack the password? Just how???

Probably the former. Although the latter is not impossible. And speaking of the latter, that should probably be investigated by the mods or some other authority

It has.

Also, the newest edition of "The Cable" mentioned an interview with Lily. Maybe the password was shared there?

Reploid Productions wrote:Bajillionth verse, same as the first as to why that will not happen. Unless someone ever finally manages to come up with an actual, solid, useful answer to the the same set of questions I ask every time "ban raiding!" has been brought up.
Or, the tl;dr version for those who don't want to go through the links: "Game can't automatically tell a raid WA delegate change from a not-raid WA delegate change. Since raids and not-raids look completely identical to the game, we can't ban raids without also banning not-raids. Banning not-raids would really, really suck for the vast majority of players, so we don't ban either."

Reploid Productions wrote:If anyone seriously wants to try and get R/D banned, they need to figure out an automatic, systemic, programmable method that does not require moderators to make subjective evaluations to differentiate a "raid" delegacy change from a "not raid" delegacy change. With "not raids" including "native coup", "native coup with foreign support", "inter-regional dispute", "natives in exile returning to power", "political dispute over ideology", and all the other myriad politicking ways delegacies can change hands besides "raiders barging in to raid".
