Defenderism v Raiderism - what catagory do you fall under!
Raider. However I do not look R/D game as it would be that simple Dichotomy. It certainly not.
Accused sometimes being "Red Imperialist", as well as [add all possibly Qualitative words here]... Practical Anti-Fascist, Inter-regionalist and Far Left wing Internationalist Militant, Practical Anti-(Purist) Defender (Specifically Hard Boiled Anti-UDL) because every regions doesn't simply earn to be defended. Griefer (Collector of Fascist/Nazi/Far Right wing-regions / Moral Supporter of Such Collections of others: More Wider More better).
In-game Imperialism bothers me only if it's ideologically (RL) Far Right Wing, Because of aforementioned reasons.
Currently accused to be traitor in The Red Fleet, by using false assumptions on my motivations.
Follower of Principles of Open and Honest Entryism. Loyal to those who make them trustworthy by their actions and are not Direct Enemies. As far I can see this is Case in This Community.
Yes. I know. That all could be more simply put, Like The GGR's Leather Clown once said: "That Annoying Commie".
(Necessary Self-Irony)
That aside. Raiding is my hobby. Raiding with TBR is possible to me just because I don't have to think Morals of such activity when being It's ranks. That is just opposite stance that Various Defenders continuously claim being "moral". Crashing regions is just fun. I don't enjoy hurting People (Questionable if anyone can even in Theory be hurted by playing Game), but I enjoy that feeling only achievable during intense moments of NS Updates. That is also why I can show respect to defenders who make real efforts during updates and not only speaking Bullshit about defending when not actually doing anything in Practice.
My dream about Osiran Community is something like: Open Militaristic Meritocratic Hierarchy based on practical participation and commitment with multitude of possible activities to take a part. I really believe that Raiders and Fendas can build real co-operative community in NationStates, which would rise above that endless R or D or R or D or R..... Simplicity.

That was the same raid. I was lead. We were both in the UDL at the time.Prussia wrote:Mon Dec 16, 2013 3:36 pmHeh i remember when i raided it...the mods booted us before the next update - we took it during major and by minor thr mods had already ejected us.
Actually, I may have just resigned from the UDL at the time. I can't keep up with myself.

Nobody who has not done tagging with old slow lagging piece of shit lap top, cannot really critisize that Tagging "innocent" Native regions would be someway bad thing to do. Undoubly and absolutely best part of today Minor Update was this:
Hunni Magorrea became WA Delegate of Bubbly Gibby Poo.
It's hard working and serious duty to be a good raider!
LOL!
Even Better! Vandoosa Killed me at Sriracha:
113 minutes ago: The Federal Republic of Guviton departed this region for The Rejected Realms.
113 minutes ago: The Iwaku Forces of Sriracha ejected The Federal Republic of Guviton from the region.
Hail Iwaku!
Only some 30 Tags to go! No needs to sleep tonight!

Truth! There's literally nothing fun about detags.Prussia wrote:Mon Dec 16, 2013 10:32 pmTagging is much more fun that detags!
I do have to say I had a blast defending against tag raids though, moralism aside. We often didn't get the Delegacy, particularly before artificial variance was introduced, but that was actually part of the fun because when we would get the Delegacy it was a huge rush. It's too bad more defenders can't let themselves have fun with defending and aren't actually defending against tagging these days.
Tag raiding > tag defending though, for sure.
