The League & Concord | Still Here.

[Rhaza]

As an LGBT supporting, religion hating atheist, I openly declare my support for the raid of Layhem, and will send a puppet.

If you want to help raid Concord, below are the three nations you should endorse when arriving (don’t endorse anybody else),

[Nepleslia]

So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.

[The King Isle]

Good job yalls! I'm glad to be helping the raid.

So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.

Your idea of "liberty" is Medieval. No one should be bigoted

[Terra Inferiori Reliquere]

So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.

I sincerely doubt Padme would agree with how you quote her. Get back to your hovel.

[Vict0ria]

I would like to personally thank LDF and all supporters of this operation in Concord. It is truly beautiful and brings genuine happiness to my heart to see everyone take a stand against hate. From this trans girl to all of you, sincerely, thank you.

[Platoon of Peace]

So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.

my brother in christ, I can't believe two things. That you posted this same thing on two different forums and that you used a star wars quote.

[Spode Humbled Minions]

So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.

To aggress towards others with no consequence is not liberty- It’s power.

This region losing its power is a good thing. Action has met consequence.

[Comfed]

So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.

Misquoting people like that should be illegal

[WayNeacTia]

So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.

Seeing as how Padme died to keep her children safe from the dark side, you probably shouldn't be using that reference....

[Rhaza]

This thread is a bit of a trip... Star Wars wasn't on my "post raid complaints and banter" bingo card. Anywho.

So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.

I would like to personally thank LDF and all supporters of this operation in Concord. It is truly beautiful and brings genuine happiness to my heart to see everyone take a stand against hate. From this trans girl to all of you, sincerely, thank you.

There is by no means a shortage of motivation, often overlapping, for this raid to have occurred. We've waited a long time for this opportunity to present itself. I'm glad our community has seized it, and the moment.

You're welcome, and thank you. See you at the big party on Wednesday/Thursday..

[Onionist Randosia]

So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.

If ‘liberty’ is the liberty to be toxic to literally everyone else in a game meant for having fun, then applause is not only justified but obligatory. Now, to paraphrase Star Wars again…

The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.

[RiderSyl]

Seconded by this trans gal!

[Haganham]

it is fun to take a break from defending to hand out a well deserved spanking.

Good day of all peoples of NationStates,

The League’s Defense Forces is happy to announce the conclusion of the operation in Concord. This was an amazing occupation to have coordinated and led on our part, and we hope all participants have found suitable enjoyment in their involvement.

In addition to their copious bigotry and antagonism, the community of the Confederacy of Layem has attempted countless acts of failed infiltration against The League and its predecessor. To so swiftly and brutally strike down their attempted fleeing and stand in Concord is a form of retribution nearly half a decade in the making. We have no doubt the battles of Concord and Layem will go down in our history with an equivalent or higher regional significance to that of the United Conservative Nations.

Concord has been secured permanently by the LDF, and we have decided amongst our officer corps that it will be branded as a tribute to the beautiful places it holds the namesake of in the real world, with a note about its story on NationStates and links to reports on its raid and all those who took part in this great battle. We believe the region is better served in this manner than by giving the bad actors who took it the satisfaction of it remaining exclusively a trophy of war.

We would once again like to thank all those who were involved, from the extensive piling efforts of our treaty allies and embassy partners to the enthusiastic contribution of various smaller groups and mercenaries. In particular, we would like to thank Neo Polisophos, Icaris, and Andrew Du for joining our pile. Even in their total retirement, their dedication to our community has never wavered.

Thaecia
The Communist Bloc
The East Pacific
The Free Nations Region
The North Pacific
The Order of the Grey Wardens

and many more individuals and mercenaries.

We’ll see you in Layem.

Good to see you, friend! You will have to either be on during update or join after update, though.

THE WAR IN LAYEM IS ENDED!
SURRENDER IS UNCONDITIONAL;
V-L DAY WILL BE PROCLAIMED TODAY

---

LAYEMITES CAPITULATE ON ALL FRONTS; GAMEPLAYERS MASSED UNDER SYMBOL OF LIBERTY

---

Soldiers from The League Defense Force and Grey Wardens meet up with Brotherhood of Malice troops in liberated Layem.

LAYEM - "This region's residents simply could not live up to the calling the claim to live by, and they have thus warranted reeducation from the people they condemned."

So read the words now etched at the top of the Confederacy of Layem's world factbook entry. These words bring to a close the largest operation of the year, whereupon the night of May 19th, 2022, the combined forces of Raiders and Defenders knocked down the walls of the universally hated region through a Security Council Liberation, and flooded into the region to seize it in the name of all that is good and holy.

The total number of updaters who made the jump was 108. This is just short of last year's total in Genua, and an absolutely stunning turnout on the part of Gameplay. The free regions of the world can now rest easy, for in the final defeat in Layem can be found our ultimate triumph against this community which has spread its vile ideology of intolerance across the site for far too long. This monumental accomplishment must be credited to the good faith cooperation between raider and defender organizations, who came together in a moment of unity to find a common enemy in the Layemites, who have proven an intolerable annoyance to just about everyone they encountered.

The operation to destroy this bastion of wickedness was preceded by the seizure of Concord, to which the Layemites had organized a last-minute exodus after the deletion of their founder. This transition was hilariously disrupted when Concord's founder was declared Delete-on-Sight, rendering the region completely open to the taking. Three days later, Security Council Resolution #398, "Liberate Confederacy of Layem" (authored by our very own Consul Quebecshire) was passed with one of the largest margins of support in World Assembly history. The culmination of our efforts was realized tonight, and the community will not soon forget this, as "the kids" are wont to say these days, massive W.

Find below a list of the heroic soldiers of The League Defense Force who participated in tonight's mission, and will be honoured for their efforts:

General New Makasta
Lieutenant Raziel
Sergeant Iandrul
Sergeant Paleocacher
Corporal Ajakanistan

And find below a list of our partners in this operation, all of whom deserve immense credit for their efforts to make this happen:

+ many assorted mercenaries from abroad

The official comment on the operation from Consul Quebecshire reads thus:

The Founder of Layem and those who chose who inhabit it knowing full well what it stood for are simply not worth the time and effort of writing anything more than "I won" regarding this raid.

---

Jubilant soldiers from the Communist Bloc raise the flag of victory over Layem.

First Minister of the Communist Bloc and spokesperson for the People's Revolutionary Air Force, Iota, gave this comment to the report:

Oh, that was extremely fun. It's always incredibly funny (and honestly pretty heartwarming) how 100+ people from the NS community, some who would never be caught dead on an op together otherwise, will come together during update and party to kick fash and bigots off the site. Seeing 80+ delegates vote to remove Layem's password in just a bit over 2 hours earlier this week was amazing, and this was the perfect follow-up. Every time I refreshed the liberation proposal page, it had gotten another few approvals, and every time I refresh the point's nation page, he has more endorsements. I can't wait to see how many total pilers we can get--maybe we can breach 300 and make this the largest raid in NS history? I know the Bloc is very enthusiastic about piling for this, to the point where some of our Reservist Pilots moved in to endorse the R/Os before I even issued the order! I had a lot of fun with everyone, it was a fantastic experience for PRAF, and I can't wait to see everyone again the next time some fascist gets their founder nation deat'd. GG, and well fucking played.

At the time of this writing, all Grey Warden leaders available for comment were "too tired" to give any substantive comment. This report will be updated as the situation develops.


A Black Hawk bomber crew smiles for the camera.

Speaking for the Black Hawks, Co-Overseer of Talon Corps, Miravana, kept it short:

It's always heartwarming to see gameplay's ability to come together to keep our community safe.

And our final comment of the evening comes from Valtarre, Vampire King of the Brotherhood of Malice, better known to Gameplay as Koth:

Layem got what was coming to them. I can't picture a more fitting end for pests of their magnitude. Go out and celebrate, everyone, you earned it. May this be a lesson and a cautionary tale to bigots of their ilk. And make sure to read the first letter of each sentence.

While all Gameplayers will surely rejoice at this decisive victory, the fight to protect our community is far from over. The enemy has regrouped, for the time being in Nordic Lands, where, for now, they are safe. However, as the events of the past week have taught us, it would be no great surprise if their inability keep quiet ended up being their undoing sooner rather than later. Until such a time, we will remain vigilant against the forces of extremism and intolerance, and surely find it in us as Gameplayers to rally around the cause of liberty whenever and wherever it is under threat.

The Republic of The League extends its most heartfelt gratitude and respect for everyone who participated in the mission. We expect the occupation of Layem to go smoothly from here, and will provide further updates if or when they become necessary.

Ad Victoriam!
