![]() ![]() A Letter from the Capitalis de Societate of The United Defenders League, I know it’s only been a few days since I’ve last sent out an update, but I wanted to remind everyone that the United Defenders League’s Movie Night will happen at 8:00 PM EST on Saturday, January 7 2012. We will be watching A Knight’s Tale; so everyone with a soft gooey spot in their heart for a young handsome Heath Ledger should come out to watch erm... the jousting scenes… yeah, that. As always we will open our IRC channel, #udl on Espernet, for the public so everyone who wants to attend can watch the movie. Anyways, these past few days have been busy for the staff. We’ve conducted a liberation of OMBS from the Black Hawks; successfully defended Atrosia Isles, The Roman Empire of Independent States, Athos, Corporate Profit Alliance, West Africa, The Middle East and liberated Communist Europe, The United Commonwealth of Nations, The Republican Federation, Classically Liberal Communitarians, Shoelace, The United Earth Federation and Antioch. During our liberation of Christmas, according to the popular Children’s book, “How the United Defenders League saved Christmas!” we all flew a funky Christmas flag which I might resurrect in the future: ![]() We also did a very nice little liberation of The Republican Federation recently. In the span of three seconds, this occurred:
As you can imagine, daddy was proud. A big shout out goes to United Kingdom, who had several of their soldiers attend that liberation to get some more experience running a professional liberation; I hope they had fun and learnt a thing or two. They’re welcome anytime to join us on future missions; the way I see it: the more defenders, the merrier. If someone is reading this and thinks “hey I’d like to get my region involved with defending!”, I’d be more than happy to help your region get an army off the ground and trained, even if your members don’t join the United Defenders League – NationStates could use a few new volunteers to keep it safe and it’s something interesting that a region can do as a community. Just send me a telegram at “Unibot II”. Also, welcome back Mallorea and Riva! Mall was our newly appoint lieutenant before he left the game for a few months; we’re very happy to have him back and in full defending mode. That being said, these past few weeks, we’ve been more dealing with unorganized or unprofessional raiding groups and troublemakers mostly because the professional raiders are fortifying their worrying occupation of Stargate. After being acquainted with these rag-tag raider groups we had some discussion in our ranks over which one we thought was the worst. Here’s a list of some of the worst raider groups we’ve seen in the past few weeks, but we’d love for you to decide which is the worst! 1. The "Right to Life Army (RTLA)”. These militant anti-abortionists spread their pro-life message against the freedom of the native communities by raiding them to post their pro-life spam. The irony here makes me chuckle. At least I know "Uterus" is safe from a raid from these guys. Of course, their founder has said the RTLA has been formed for different reasons: to protect “other” pro-life regions and “pressure” regions that harass pro-life regions. So y’all better watch out, if you speak out against pro-life regions... you might get pressured… oh wait. Now I’m going to get invaded dammit. RAISE THE DEFENCES ! 2. “Huckey and his Goon Squad”. Named after one of their members' puppets, "Huckey" which has been used in every single one of their raids thus far... Huckey and his Goon Squad have attempted to raid several regions; /every/…/single/…/time/, Huckey will pretend to be a native. During the UDL's defence of Corporate Profit Alliance, Huckey sent "like i told that other person, unitbot is sending out a bunch of people [to stop your raid]. and i'm gonna condemn yall for raiding" to none other than me, Unibot. 3. "Awesomespaceland". These goons invade foundered regions; adding "We are now a colony of awesomespaceland. Or be invaded by us. Your choice," to their target's WFE. Their team includes such aptly named puppets as "Omg who the faaf cares", "Stirred stirred is that how i say it" and "Dave is Epic". As far as I can see their organization's flag is the default flag. Although they may be slowing down on the raiding, since their Minister of Internal Affairs has come out and said:
Good plan Awesomespaceland, good plan. If professional raiders drink at the Old Raiding Club, these guys would be underage. 4. "The Defender Alliance". These fools are rather bizarre. Although they call themselves "defenders"; their track record thus far has been simply colonisations of various regions and raiding and griefing facist regions. They also have a bajillion bases and a region for just about everything .. except defending. And here’s your Moment of Zen, brought to you by Ballotonia:

The Defender Alliance originally had a policy where its member must swear to defend for 2 RL years.. or "else". Topid and I have a bet on whether it would survive that long. Looks like it has quite a few active nations now, but 2 years is a long time ![]() --- "Christmas" is the only time I could be an evil raider. It's bit of a tradition. In 2010 it was a Raid+RP on "North Pole" - the founder agreed to play along...but it doesn't wasn't "Christmas". The idea for "Christmas raided on Christmas!" actually came Christmas 2010, I even TGed Guy, then delegate of 10000 Islands if it was ok (Oh how naive :P) and that alone deterred me for another year. So by the time this came I've dossier everything in that region for 1.5 years... I felt since no real residents had *ever* existed there, the funniness (and it's a game afterall!) won out. Just a bit of context....and we are now back to being our normal selves. |

Hmm . . . for some reason I missed this when you posted it a few days ago. FYI: The RTLA is a neutral army. The two nations that participated in the practice mission were new to military gameplay and did fairly well. I was only 12 seconds off when I predicted the update time of the target region (only one nation, no activity in nine months). I didn't think anyone would notice the mission; and, if someone did, I didn't think that person would care. I don't even think the one native noticed the mission. Four questions: Who noticed the RTLA's inaugural mission? Who participated in taking the delegacy during the next update? Is Greater Egypt your puppet? Why didn't you document the awesome flag that the RTLA put up?

A.K.A Raider.
I didn't say you were technically flawed as group. I think more people find a pro-life raiding group half-backed in the same sense as they would react to a pro-life superhero (CAPTAIN FETUS! CHAMPION OF THE OPPRESSED FETUSES!), a pro-life cereal (you're not allowed to eat the red chucks in the cereal), pro-life clocks (showing time in trimesters) and pro-life belt-buckles that can also be used as chastity belts. Such merchandise just cheapens the message you're trying to proclaim. I realize you disagree with me that abortion is right; but even if we assume abortion is wrong.. I hope you will also cede that the prohibition of abortion is not going to make the world by any means a pleasant place for a lot of adult women (especially). Being forced to carry a baby or even worse, being forced to try conduct an abortion on one's self and potentially dying or doing harm to themselves is... a very serious social consequence to prohibiting abortion. Likewise, if we're to hold the pro-life agenda, we're going to believe that there are serious injustices in the world with abortions being committed. A "raiding group" or any of the imagined merchandise simply cheapens a very serious issue for a lot of people on both sides of the debate (since both the pro-life and the pro-choice side believe there are lives at stake with abortion).
1) The soldier was Ballotonia, I believe you know of Ballo. 2) I know Ballotonia was one of the two detaggers. 3) Errm, no. 4) If the flag resembled a vagina in any case you should be thanking us for detagging the region.

No, it didn't. If the RTLA is ever utilized, it'll probably provide support for the liberation of an occupied pro-life region. [region]The East India Trading Company[/region] was used for practice because it has only one nation (that hasn't logged in for seven days); and, when planning the mission, we thought it'd be less disruptive to a native community than invading one of the warzones. Also, the warzones would've been a little later in the update; and I didn't want to keep both of the nations that participated in the mission awake too late. 00:43:27 EST is fairly reasonable. A mission two hours or later into the update (most of the warzones) would've been more difficult. |
