Raiding? Never Heard of It

Here we see one of the few remaining invaders cowering in the shadow of the long arm of Libcord.



It's no secret to anyone that the D part of R/D is exponentially more active and numerous these days, but that usually doesn't deter TBH from exerting their 20-25 minutes of stamina in an attempt to get a fraction of our wins. Tonight though with a mere 12 minutes of alternating misses and defeats The Black Hawks capitulated after being utterly shut out by tonight's glorious sixteen updater Libcord squad. (Actually eighteen if you count the two comrades from the NPO who unfortunately didn't get a chance to update in-region since TBH gave up so quick) After we sent the Hawks flying back to their nests we chased NPA who as a competent and motivated organization actually managed to get a win, but overall Team Libcord triumphed again.

one sec let me get all the excuses raiders are going to use for their recent lackluster performance:
  • Internet issues
  • "Why does it matter"
  • Training run
  • Ignoring it ever happening in the first place
  • Update is wacky
  • Something about scripts
  • Fun is more important
  • Defenders are cherry picking
  • "B-but we have a record in X, it was just a fluke!"

The raiders should just start their own version of Libcord and call it Raidcord or something, since it's the only way they'll ever win...

No Warden ever misses, that's why we're so good at defending...

I could be wrong, but I believe most of TITO (as in all but a commander or two) directly function out of the XKI server, and the information placed in this reports comes from the reports channel on Libcord which is usually taken care of by Grea, so we don't always have a specific role call on TITO, since they more-so seem to function as associated forces than direct Libcord forces in these cases.

12 minutes is definitely the fastest TBH has given up in a while. You'd think that they'd pick up some wins with all these fancy thorns they're doing.

The real conversation we need to have is how the ERN technically committed a war crime by pretending to quit/surrender and then restarting when we thought they were done! >:(

That's not a war crime, it's just modern problems requiring modern solutions.

They could, but I’m sure whatever actual-command channel they created for their secret conversations would probably still fail to achieve the desired results...

The problem isn’t coordination, it’s the fact that tagging is ultimately pretty tedious compared to chasing and most people naturally lose interest in short/medium sized tag runs after a while. Chasing is reactive, unpredictable and takes a higher level of skill from all participants (without the pain of setting triggers and tagging the regions), so most players with the right competitive edge eventually learn that chasing is a funner way to play that side of the game.

It also means that TGW members don’t generally become bored of chasing through repetition, but keep getting better and better at it with practice - better for retaining the best r/d-ers, better for building skill and wins. Tag raiders can’t do anything to consistently best a group of 0s chasers so anyone who wants to dominate in r/d usually learns that the way to do that is to be a defender/independent and chase.

TL;DR Defenders are simply better at the game
