The Grey Wardens: Warden-Lieutenant Eshialand

[Lord Dominator]

Pretty sure you remember a time when defenders or raiders didn’t exist

Actually, I don't! I believe the Farkers were already raiding by March 2003. Just that destructive raiding didn't exist yet because regional controls didn't exist with which regions could be destroyed.

Fair - but I don’t recall my history of when organization happened that we could call defenders, so I might still have that.

[Matthew the Man]

WHIPPERSNAPPERS! I remember a time when the Wardens didn't even exist!

Dark days...

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Thanks guys, had fun!

[Tim-Opolis]

WHIPPERSNAPPERS! I remember a time when the Wardens didn't even exist!

Awful times those. NationStates is much better with us around, don't you think?

Onwards we fight. The siege goes on, and in war we shall find victory.

Thanks guys, had fun!

Honestly sub-par ban speeds.

Blame your own faction for insisting on the 1/s regional limit, cause we're hitting it more than we're not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know old-timer, I've seen faster bans in Defender Wargamers. :/

If you've seen faster bans than those consistently hitting the 1/s limit, then please do share with the world how defenders managed to evade the hard site limit per region. I'm sure the whole world would love to know.

I was referring to faster moreso along the lines of consistency and for a longer duration, bad word choice on my part.

More consistent than 16 in 17 seconds? Granted, that was a slight performance improvement over 32 in 42 seconds last update, but that one was dragged down by the spacing of jumps in at both ends of the longer window. If you'd like to jump more predictably and tighter, maybe we can fix that

Why would we keep going for a longer duration, after update, rather than pause and assess the situation without urgency?

I have a question, can a raider become a defender?
I got a friend who's interested in undoing the damage he's done to regions that get raided and destroyed.
Is there an application system for becoming a defender?
Can a raider even become a defender? Or are they too frowned upon to do that?

Yes! The Grey Wardens accept all people of good character. Many raiders have changed their ways and joined our path. To apply to be a Warden, go to this link. They should also join our Discord server.

[Refuge Isle]

There's quite a few of us in the Wardens that used to be raiders who are more satisfied with life in defending.

Everyone should take the paths that fit them.

[Lord Dominator]

Of course, worth noting that many defenders also become raiders - it's not a one way street, the main thing is always (whichever way you go) doing it with reasonable dignity and respect for your former colleagues.

[RiderSyl]

Yup, what Refuge and LD said.

Never feel like you're stuck on one side simply because you chose it, but do your best to leave in grace if it comes to that.

I've failed in the second part of that myself, so follow my advice, not my lead.

No quarter to those who threaten the innocents and natives of the world.

Lol, right

I did see your original post (a quote of Syl about "do as I say, not as I do") - I did enjoy it, shame you deleted it.

Defenders tussling with raiders in Furry Antifascist Alliance

Defenders rolled up to update today feel cuddly and fuzzy after their wolfish friends in LWU decided to take a bite out of Furry Antifascist Alliance the previous major in a breach of Furry Unity.

Diligent Warden-Constable Nakari rallied the troops asking for their favorite cute animal, thus forming the rallying cry of the adorable red panda for the day's liberation (though baby walruses and giant pandas were also popular options). A chat filled with red panda gifs and a promise to "give a free red panda to everyone who crosses fully and jumps on the liberation" drove confidence and crossing high with such an irresistible offer.

All of this despite the site acting up again, allowing the wolves to sneak in on an accidental 0s trigger the night before while lengthening minor update to a nearly minute-long trigger for defenders. It didn't make a difference anyway since the raider banhammer was nowhere to be found until just three seconds before the region updated, catching only two defenders prior to update. The victory was clean and assured regardless with 41 panda-toting defenders sweeping 26 raiders out of the region. We're not sure how Nakari is going to source all the red pandas to fulfill her promise to the liberators, but I'm sure she'll figure it out somehow.

Was this a shorter report? Yes. But did you get to see a really cute red panda? Also yes. Go forth and enjoy the rest of your day with this wonderful floofiness.

Good showing chaps, sad I wasn't piled there to see the red panda swarm coming in

Shame I couldn't have made it today - glad to see a nice win and that some of my frantic pre-leaving DMs worked out!
