I read this from the forums regarding the founder of Social Liberal Union's message to the Invaders:

Ainland wrote:

How interesting, after making much noise about victory in invading such a large region, having been defeated, the Invaders now want to pretend this was some sort of charitable act to make our region better. Much like a burglar claiming that he has helped you by inspiring you to improve the security on your house.

Our region has enjoyed much success, having been a top-20 region, and whilst our defeat of the Invaders has brought us publicity, it is clear that this was not their intention, so it would be foolish to give them credit for it. Their goal was to cause destruction, to annoy people for their own satisfaction, to destroy and dismantle a successful region. The Invaders publicise rules and guidelines which they do not follow in practice. Presumably this is some sort of attempt to create an illusion to appease NationStates moderators. But the truth is, Invader members pay no attention to these rules, they seek pleasure in harassment and destruction, they are disrespectful on a personal level, and their hate brings no benefit to anyone.

The Invaders have brought no benefit whatsoever to the SLU, our region is great because of its members. The way they handled the invasion only serves as another example of this. And as for the founder of the region reviving itself - the government of the region knows what to do to protect the SLU, this is a credit to them, not to you. You are correct that Ainland was only active in 2010 and 2011, but since you speak in OOC terms I might as well let you know that Ainland's creator has been around a lot longer than that.

The simple fact is this - you brought terror to our region and you were defeated. Justice prevailed and you have lost.

Sometimes I don't understand why people would plan for two months to raid a region - I mean I'd probably use that time for better stuff... Like most (if not all) of us would.

Given that Valhalla has voted 11-0 AGAINST in the World Assembly (out of 25 WA members), 8-0 AGAINST on the joint off-line forums with Yggdrasil, and the very fact that the SLU does not nor seem to want the liberation written in a dubious fashion that focused more on the praising of the Invaders than the liberation itself (coming from the point of a former SC writer myself) - I'm going to prematurely vote AGAINST despite there being 2 days left on the vote.

Personally. Don't raid realms that are someone else's region and his region /was/ active. You have to be Sadistic to ruin others lives. Disgustingly, from what I heard - the WA vote is a little fishy.

Yea.. those raiders are mean and stuff.. *stares nervously*

Greetings!

Hello :D

Our Region is currently under threat from raiders. I had to install border control to protect our realm.

Updates for Security Council Voting!

With two hours left on voting on "Liberate The NSIA", Valhalla is on a 4-4 tie. I thought the Ygg/Val forums would give me some indications on how to vote but noooooo it's 2 YEP 1 NOPE 2 ABSTAIN.

Since we're on a virtual tie both ways (and maybe we shouldn't take stances between two warring parties) I think I have the obligation to inform Valhalla resident I intend to abstain from voting. :O

Something is seriously wrong with Firefox. I was using 650mb of memory with 1 tab open after 3-4 hours of surfing. Now on Chrome, after an hour with 2 tabs open I'm barely using 15mb.

Welcome Tulavo and Sabuk!

you should make your delegate non-executive so they can't squeak at you..

Something to prevent a insider from mass endorsing someone.

If that's the case non-exec is the way to go! Only reason to make delegate executive is for a nation you trust to help run the region..
At least with you as an active founder you won't have to worry about any invasions. Aside from a drive by tag raid at most.. no long term damage can be done.

Long can be done. We're just four people. Comerically we don't want the attention.
