[size=105]Hi Blue Ridge! Congratulations to everyone for surviving the scheduled nuclear apocalypse that was N-Day[sup]11[/sup]. As you can see below, JEFF — our N-Day Faction — finished same as last year at Third Place.[/size]

[size=105]JEFF’s members stood united throughout N-Day, fending off a number of large attacks, notably surviving a 300k+ barrage with only 5k resulting radiation. Hampered by an acknowledged mismanagement of resources, the jellyfish-laden silos landed only ~714k strikes on other factions — a smaller number than anticipated.[/size]

[size=105]While JEFF did formally withdraw from the event early by order of Strategic Command, the faction fought strong for roughly 18 hours. JEFF members have largely chosen to look past the factions shortcomings, instead celebrating what achievements were made and the sense of community maintained throughout the event.[/size]

[size=105]In a closing address to the members of our Elite Fighting Force, Commander [nation]Faralried[/nation] said the following regarding JEFF’s intentions for N-Day[sup]12[/sup].[/size]

[list][size=105]“This drive starts now. N day 11 isn't over but N Day 12 has begun as far as I am concerned. I have restructuring I need to fully flesh out and do server wise, I have recruitment I want done for next Day both region wise and individual members. I need to find ways to help those of you who wish to take the next step in N day . . . I need to invest into all of you and into this faction more so that we may all succeed.”[/size][/list]

[size=105]While there is some controversy regarding JEFF, Blue Ridge is happy to have spent its first N-Day with friends — both old ([region]The Region That Has No Big Banks[/region], [region]New West Conifer[/region]) and new ([region]Forest[/region], [region]RGBN[/region]). Though Blue Ridge is undecided on plans for N-Day[sup]12[/sup], we’re greatful to have spent a fun ~18 hours with friends.[/size]

[size=105]After the end of N-Day, First Minister [nation]Adkissa[/nation] gave this concluding remark regarding Blue Ridge’s participation.[/size]

[list][size=105]“I want to say that I’m proud of BR’s turnout on N-Day. All those here who joined in, regardless of their activity, contributed to making our first N-Day as a region a good one.

I can’t wait to see the fun we’ll have in February :heartcat:”[/size][/list]

[size=105]In other news, the aftermath of N-Day witnessed the Parkway overtaken by a few ducks, a handful of fish, and a PPF squad with shining stars overhead. It is rumored that the parties were exchanging telegram information for February’s N-Day.[/size][/box]
