![]() ![]() A Letter from the Capitalis de Societate of The United Defenders League, Wow, it’s the end of the year already! Tis’ been a great year for NationStates and NationStates Gameplay; we saw a game-changing coup in the South Pacific that lead to a greater concern for the protection of democracy and freedom of speech there and elsewhere and the creation of our institution in response to the bureaucratic nature of some of the defence that came to the aid of the South Pacific. This year we also saw a re-emergence of blitzkrieg raiding during the early part of the year, which carried into the summer. Raiders were attacking defenceless and smaller targets with greater frequency during update; going thro’ region to region, leaving their tag behind. This preceded a re-emergence of stockpile raiding, where regions are taken with a very small number of raiders (two or three), then non-updaters are moved in to “cushion” their raid’s security – the numbers of which have been ludicrous, at times the infamous raid on the Proletariat Coalition had forty or fifty raiders endorsing the lead, for example. Currently, The Black Riders’ raid of Rome and Europeia’s raid of North Carolina are also using those tactics and that forces us to focus on recruiting and organizing; estimations suggest that if the United Defenders League wants to be a viable force to be reckoned with against these types of raids, it would need to quadruple its membership and thus overshadow almost all of the raider groups combined -- this is what I intend to do and thus the new year will mark a year of expansion. Consider that my new year’s “resolution” to our current problem plaguing the safety of native communities around NationStates. Some of the ways in which we’re advertising for new members are rather creative; thanks to one very beloved member, we are now advertising using nation mottos which still warms the cockles of my promotional heart. Also, earlier this month, we sponsored a life expectancy calculator for nations which some of you may enjoy. As Yogurt once said in a thick Jewish accent, “Meuuurwwwchandise! Meuuurwwwchandise!” Eventually we’ll actually get recruiting sometime in the New Year. You know the whole “holidays” and “having fun” seems to interfere with mass recruitment programs and the hefty emotional labour thereof – but give it time and I’ll get the staff whipped into shape, don’t you worry! We’ve had a good week or two of military action; defenses occured all over the place. We stopped the Red Army from conquering “Dictators of the world Unite” (they ‘strategically retreated’) as well as defences in The United Kingdom Alliance, The Federation of Allied Nations, East Pacific, Western Europe, Esperivira. There were also liberations in The Roman Empire of Independent States, Koeln (from these troll-face guys) and there was an exciting liberation of The Crimson Dawn from the Black Hawks and DEN; a very close liberation that was attained with a remarkably close margin. Great work guys! Anyways this week has been pretty chill, the holidays are starting to set in; I’d like to wish everyone in NationStates has a happy holidays and seasonal lull. I’ve been spending the last day or so sending out holiday messages to our members; for some members I preferred to post on their region’s RMB (to embarrass them) and others I’ve telegrammed them or included it in this update. And your Moment of Zen is St. George’s drunk understanding of the United Defenders League’s membership:

As a defender who started up his own organization, it’s truly an honour to have someone I always admired professionally and looked up to like Goobergunchia, join said organization. The United Defenders League has really appreciated his presence on the team; his diplomatic and legal mind, his own virtues and his willingness to share with the staff his knowledge of history in NationStates makes him a valuable member. Likewise, his friendly and witty presence makes him a much adored member. I can always trust Goober to act as a confidant or other ethical responsibilities and that is equally treasured. I hope he had a lot of fun in his first lead in a liberation in what had to be ages and I sincerely hope he sticks around to fight the good fight in his spare time when he isn’t moderating us all. Have a wonderful vacation from law textbooks and case law, Goobergunchia, from everyone here at the United Defenders League! |

The life expectancy calculator isn't working for me; do I have to join the UDL to use it? |

No *rolls his eyes*. The server we host the script on must be suffering some down-time. I'll poke the admin. Thanks for the report. |
