1. Most people use Purée (either the main page or list generator) to get detags, the latter of which in particular, no you don’t have to read names, and you probably never will until after you’ve hit it if you’re going at any noteworthy speed

2. Unless a region blatantly has "fascist X" or whatever in the name it’s a lot harder to tell a region is fascist when it’s already tagged even if you are looking at it (at least when it was tagged in a normal run and not an antifash one) - because the whole point of a tag is to turn it into an advertisement for the taggers

3. Unless it’s a planned operation ahead of time (I.e. Sunscraper or Aegis’ thing), any officer or even experienced rank and file can run detags, especially in Libcord - detagging especially with modern tools is not something that requires babysitting

What do you expect from a player whose only military experience is rising to the esteemed rank of private first class in TBH for a grand total of two months before retreating to make uninformed armchair remarks for the next two years.

generic lazy wednesday report

generic AI generated art of a grey warden patrol of the tag wasteland


Tonight was a routine Wednesday update, during which we did routine Libcord activities such as Chasing Raiders and Detagging Regions. The Brotherhood of Malice arrived with a trainee, and subsequently proceeded to largely take losses until their trainee ran out of nations. Following this, we did some detags until update ended. It was a pretty standard night, with a solid turnout and great effort by everyone.

Go check out The Liberty Gala, that looks really fun.


That's all folks.

Defenders waiting for LWU to move / I don't feel like making this smaller


It was a typical night in Libcord. People were threatening murder over the changing of role colors, bonding over their strange Latin class experiences. Did you know how many NSers ended up in Latin class? Wayyy more than the average population, that's for sure.

That's alright though because you'll never find a larger group of people to compare Latin experiences with, from "raeda in fossa est" to Junior Classical League and everything else you can imagine from a bunch of dead language nerds. The Latin party was interrupted by howls in the distance from LWU right before update, and so the defenders packed up their conjugation charts and set off to do some defending. The problem was there didn't end up being much to defend! LWU was slow to stage for update, slow between their jumps, and everyone quickly got bored

Chacapoya quipped "Quo usque tandem abutere, lupōs, patientia nostra?" - And the answer was forever because after we got one win and LWU got one miss, they never jumped again. We used the update productively, though, if you can't tell from the image above

I do hate posting on the Fourms, but I must very much ask, what's the source for this claim? Every one of there solo training raids gets outnubered something like 5:1 for defenders, and the regional numbers for LWU, not updaters but just nations in the region, is 443, TGW alone has 627.

Featured Warden October 2022 - Ducky


Ducky is a newer Warden, having joined the Order's military forces during the sieges of EmbassyRegionia in April earlier this year. They quickl became an active part of the community, known for their enthusiastic and wholesome personality.

Libcord leaping and dancing through our detags this evening


You ever have those things where sometimes you'd rather crawl in a hole for six months than do them? I'm talking the tedious, brain-numbing tasks that you really don't want to do and you put them off as long as possible. You know, like, cleaning up that one thing you forgot about a week or so ago or having to sit on hold for customer service to fix some minor inconvenience or writing an awkward email to someone you don't like. You know what I mean. The. worst.

It's kinda like that one time I tried to make Matthew write a report and he really didn't want to. Or that time I tried to tell Quebec to use Puree's list generator and he really didn't want to. Or like asking defenders to pay attention to EoGB jumping every 5 minutes when they really don't want to. Or raiders having to do their tags when they really didn't want to.

Anyway, it seems like sweeze really didn't want to do her tags so I'm glad we have that in common since we didn't want her to do them either. Made our lives easier and for a breezy night of major detags

Happy to give you all some work to do!

Refuge Isle wrote:It was three strokes after midnight.

Senior assistant regional branch assassin to the manager assassin Josh "R4Z0r bl4adE" Assassin stood in the dim misty twilight, the cool wind in his hair. The breeze rippled through his freshly tailored dark purple cloak. Its velvet was too thin, but still within his allowance budget for last October when he visited Spirit Halloween. He looked at his Brothers, assembled in various cool poses throughout the middle school parking lot. They had just finished a raid, the greatest raid of their lives in fact, Elite Warriors, proving once and for all that the shadow cabal was able to take on the strongest that the world had to offer.

He took out his earbuds, relishing the last few notes of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day. Smirking to himself, he pulled out his purple-tinted 2x Walmart binoculars (with a spooky skeleton sticker) to survey the total carnage of the eve'. Among the glint of Warden steel, the region appeared to be a dead and withered wasteland, but no more so than before.

Quoth the edgelord: "Bananas! It was defended!" Clearly these petty do-gooders would need to be taught a lesson by the forces of darkness. The black tides of the night cannot be stopped. Just as the sun allows for shadows to form, so the warden ARROGANCE from this defence would cast a shadow over all of the world, allowing the darkly forces of darkness to strike! In his anger, he flicked his arm to bring out his hidden blade, which clattered to the ground. He darkly picked it back up, using his cloak of shadows to obfuscate the situation as the manager assassin had taught him.

He held out his R4Z0r blade. "Mehrunes' R4Z0r? More like mmmmmmnjosh's R4Z0r. Ever heard of it?" That was something else the manager had said. He didn't know the manager assassin's name, but he assumed it was Chad. Anyways...he looked over at his one of his friends from Osiris, a skeleton who hadn't moved in years, far spookier than any sticker. "What's our next target, Carl?"

Quoth the skeleton: "ctkctkckctktkcktkcktktktkcktk", as Josh puppeteer the skeleton's jaws up and down. It was a skeleton he got from Party City and he was really happy he bought Carl, even if Carl had been stored in the attic most of the year.

"Right, the Land of Cakes Biscuits and Tea it is," said Josh, slipping through the darkness. Reemerging in the shadows at the region's entry, only the light reflecting off his hidden blade and dripping with green nickelodeon slime could be seen. He pulled on the gate's door, which rattled unsatisfactorily. "Nooo, how could this happen!"

"Sorry, we're closed for the day," said Warden-Commander Haku, putting away the delegate keys on the region's unreachable cookie shelf.

"Curse that cookie shelf!" said Josh, who had seen it many times before. "They're always putting delegacies up there!" Indeed, it was a time for vengeance. If today was a day for Malice, he would have to reach levels of darkness never before seen. For Chad, for Carl, for everyone. He flicked his other arm to bring out his second knife: the forbidden technique. He had dipped this one in black paint, although it was his school's water colour set and was already running a bit. "This paint won't be the only thing running tonight..."

The next target was Touch Grass, a place he had never been before. He leapt into the air, just like the box art of his games, he could hear the eagle scream in the distance. Or a barn owl like that one game had. But it was not to be. His cloak was too heavy, his back hurt from carrying raiderdom, he longed for the retirement he had returned from. As if the universe was out to get him, a nearly magnetic force adjusted his course and pushed him away from the region. He was unable to make contact with the grass. "Nani??" he exclaimed aloud.

His phone rang, the sonorous tones of Amy Lee singing the first few notes of "Bring Me To Life", he flicked his arm, his Motorola R4Z0r clattered to the ground. "Shucks Howdy!" he exclaimed aloud. He quickly picked it up. It was mom. Ugh. Not now.

"Moooom. I'm in a raid. For the last time! I can't pAUSE IT!"

"Well are ya winnin' son?"

"I was aBOUT to until you CALLED. I was aBOUT to deliver the killing blow to the defender menace!"

"That's nice Joshua..." said Pamela uneasily.

"I told you to only call me 'R4Z0r bl4dE' when I'm out with my friends!"

"Joshua, it just takes so long to say 'are four zed zero ar'...."

"It's R4Z0r!

"Okay, razor, anyway hurry home when you're done. I made your favourite."

"Spaghetti??", She was right. It was his favourite. "Alright . . . Be home soon . . . " He flicked his phone closed, ending the call like the night ends the day. His phone rang again.

"Now don't you hang up without saying goodbye!" said Pamela empowered by free nights and weekends.

"Fine . . . goodbye mom . . ." said the shadow master, who had a doctorate in destruction from the shadow realm community college. "Love you . . . " he muttered and then flicked his phone closed like a badass.

Finally, it was time to sound the keening death knell for the defender blight. He called upon his ultimate power: So Much Fucking Doom Jutsu. Dark clouds began converging to cover the sky and Josh cackled manically as his final plan was set in motion. As the grimdark powers of shadow enveloped him, the final target came into sight -- the sprawling metropolis of Please do not raid me. Little did they know, that was exactly what they were gonna do. Heh. He jumped into the air and stomped with both feet, causing two more knives to extend from the tips of his boots from Hot Topic. "Heck yeah," he said, they had a giant spider on the side and everything.

"R4z0r, terrible news. The defenders are already here," said field marshal lieutenant assassin Chad "Assassin" Chadington. He had been promoted since they last met.

"Impoooosssible!" exclaimed Josh, who forgot to move, aloud. "It can't be! I just got my knives out!"

Even if everything else had gone wrong tonight, he had the spaghetti to look forward to.

The Cookie Shelf no longer interested the B|∆D3s. Milk was the name of the game now.
The biggest op of the year was just getting started


Joshua R4zOr B|∆D3 Assassin stood in the doorway between light and dark. But light and dark was one thing too many. Picking up his Red Rider BB gun, he plumbed the depths of his courage, reaching to places unknown before mustering the will and determination to shoot out the lightbulb above him. At last, there was only the cold embrace of night. He would be able to stare up at the shining stars above him now, were they not blocked by 10cm of concrete that lined the ceiling of his mother's basement.

*More like based-ment*, Josh thought to himself. Josh had not been out in *some time* now.

He could smell the faint mercury poisoning in the air from the freshly broken halogen bulb. This would kill him in thirty years, but it was worth it to erase another symbol of hope. Just as Moses didn't survive to live in his own paradise, Josh would make sure no one would live in paradise. "Because fuck God" he wrote in his 3OH!3 diary from Party City. He couldn't wait to write it in the YouTube comments of Richard Dawkins' new video. But that would be a treat for later.

"Joshua! Did you shoot out another lightbulb?!" his mom called down the stairs. "You know I have to replace those!"

"But mom! Fuck God!" said Josh. His allegiance was to darkness itself, for nothing else could understand the turbulence of his soul.

"Joshua, you know better than to swear..."

"Frick God!" said Josh who was also keenly aware that he lived as rent free as his online enemies, and had to remain on Pamala's good side for the time being.

"Much better. Anyway, your chicken nuggets are done." Pamela was conscientious not to spend too long on this conversation, as CSI: Boise could return from commercial break at a moment's notice.

"My tendies! This and the sweet and sour sauce from McDonald's will serve the darkness well!" It was so true. Josh leapt for joy, which caused the knives to extend from the tips of his boots again as he landed. A powerful reminder that his lethality was as unpredictable as the google search history checks his mother carried out.

Josh turned back towards his computer, the swirling mass of despair that was TapaTalk. An embedded Java chat revealed his noble comrades, masters in the art of war. Switch B|∆D3 Assassin, Shoulder B|∆D3 Assassin, Bae B|∆D3 Assassin, Ockham B|∆D3 R4zOr Sharp Assassin Edge (who was also a Lithuanian Prince), and Safety B|∆D3 Assassin. With much regret, it appeared that Chad was no longer with them. Alas!

"BROTHERS!" said Bae B|∆D3 Assassin, invoking the secret arts of bold and color=red, "Now is the time that we strike at their sinews and feast upon their hearts!" Damn what a cool cat he was. "We need inspiration! We need victory!"

Ockham Assassin emerged from his shadowy lair of /away. "I have just the thing that will fill people with inspiration and terror at our prowess," he said, to the binary gasps of the digital onlookers. Ockham waved his arms to perform arcane hand gestures. A digital suitcase materialised in the chat room. Lifting up the handles, the interior shined with a light of an intensity that one could not comprehend.

"I am unable to comprehend it," Ockham said, providing the simplest explanation.

"You don't understand it?" said Safety, who was well versed in the codified OSHA protocols of light and shiny things.

"I...do not..." Ockham replied. He extracted the BB code from the suitcase and held it aloft. "But I shall use it anyway, for it is nigh impossible to create original designs." Ockham was right. It was the one thing that could not be bought from Hot Topic. He slid a variety of images generated from Microsoft PowerPoint into the sleeves of the BB template. The last one was a card that Josh had never seen before.

"Uhm, hey, what's that thingy you're darkly putting in the thingy?" asked Josh, channelling the power of the tendies through his persona of a certified, living edgelord. Unlike Bae, Josh's gimmick was the power of underline, for it created a blade under every word.

Ockham posted a gif of someone looking up slowly, as cool as it was lacking pixels. "It's the op tonight, R4zOr J∆D3". That wasn't Josh's name, but he thought it sounded totally tubular.

Shoulder B|∆D3 stepped forward into the light, the man with the plan. He existed now to totally subvert any and all expectations. Sliding coyly into an "invisible" status, he pulled the plan out of his sleeve. It was a pant sleeve, if that's what they were really called. The "plan" was a simple photo of the Whole Foods at Belleview and Wadsworth. My god, the genius!

"What terrible deeds will happen here, my master?" asked Josh, suddenly unsure if this was becoming a Star Wars RP.

"WE'RE GOING TO STEAL THE MYLK BOIIIII!" cried Switch B|∆D3 Assassin.

"Woah, totally cool! Also why are you spelling it like that?" asked R4zOr, whose personal phonetics were impeccable.

"BOIIIIIII!" Switch replied simply.

Safety B|∆D3 began reading health and safety manuals, channelling the energies of hell as was OSHA's wont. The great powers summoned a portal, through the Dark Dimension, to the Whole Foods. A bastion of civilization for these yuppie upstarts.

"WE GO. TO WAR!" sounded Switch, who's current position was apparently 'on'. The milk bandits hurried through the portal and into the grocery store parking lot. It was 3PM on a Sunday, but security was going to be tight. Any one of these plutocratic produce-seekers could be a defender, and they would need to be on their guard. As if on some invisible signal, they flipped up their Assassins Creed brand hoods and blended through the parking lot, as inconspicuous as a herd of Spanish missionaries.

Sneaking up to the pristine pillars of aesthetically glued loading pallets, the lactose larceny lads stealthily initiated the motion-activated front doors. Just as their training instructed. Rounding the glass threshold, Josh glimpsed a most terrible sight. It was the produce section: A sea of green, as if lichen-covered broken promises being reclaimed by a disgusting moss-strewn earth. These were not the tendies he desired.

"Stay focused R4zOr J∆D3," said Ockham, Champion of the Troth of Despair, "The mylk is close now." The hooded figures jumped as ninja frogs through the different forms of cover the Whole Foods had to offer until they arrived at the dairy.

Bae B|∆D3 Assassin reached into the cooler and picked up a pint of milk. "I do this.........FOR NURGLE!" he roared. His compatriots followed, picking up additional containers of milk, some larger, some smaller. Some 2%, some 20% off. Hands and pockets loaded, they waddled like Muscovy ducks to the exist. Success was within their grasp! It would drastically affect this region, especially the local trout population, if only they could get out with the goods!

"Joshua, what are you doing with all that milk," came a voice from behind the group. "I just finished stocking that!"

"Dad!" recoiled Josh, stricken with the terror of having been seen despite the clear mechanical rule saying that he was still in Blend, holding down A.

"And what's this about I need to pick up another halogen light bulb? Again?? Who's this emo band with you? Why do you have all that milk??? Are you stealing??????"

It was all over. The code word was said. A swarm of Amazon Security Swat members descended from the rafters -- all of them were defenders. The assassins would be banjected from this place by Bezos himself. Oh god, what a fate. A fate worse than death. They all went home and promoted themselves, and would talk about this raid for the next six years, for it was their greatest success.
