See that's where we organize all of our raiding, away from the public eye. What you just did worked in 2004 but defenders as awful as they are at spotting now, definitely do have the ability to see you calling a target 6 hours in advance and then moving in lol.

But if you were to be in a server with us away from prying eyes, you could suggest such a plan and we could help you execute it.

My personal vote is also Starscream. First, the name is wonderful. It's a mix between ice cream and eldritch horror. Secondly, iirc, he had that ridiculous 80s villain voice acting and I love that.

Also, you may have noticed my nation has changed. That's because I wanted to bring back my very first nation I raided under, which leads me to our question.

Kind of a complicated answer for me. I'm not sure when exactly my first raid was (my NS history is long and at this point mostly apocryphal). I was a committed independent in the NatSov sphere for a long time, having come from Equilism and then getting involved in Osiris through that, which led to me joining BoM. (This is circa 2012, 2013. I think.)

All that time, I definitely preferred to raid rather than defend because I found it more fun and more interesting ideologically, but I probably didn't jump the gap to being a full-on raider until later on in that run of me playing NS - 2015 or so? After the point at which NatSov as a distinct flavor of indie had mostly burned out, I was less involved in Equilism, and most of my energy was in Osiris, BoM, and [shudders] Kingdom of Alexandria.

Shortly after this (around mid-2016) I then ended up leaving NS entirely due to IRL making it hard to have room for it in my life - I had gotten married and moved across the country to start graduate school. I didn't return until earlier this year when Malice rebooted.

I started raiding by joining an anti-raider organization that eventually imploded. Eventually found out that raiders were fun handsome people and have been here ever since!

The year was 2016...

I was just a small and inexperienced nation residing in Illuminati. My ex-husband, Wintony was the Grand Chancellor at the time. He had experience in DEN which had actually *just* been deleted by the mods by the time he become chancellor. Since he hadn't a region to raid with anymore, he took initiative to revive Illuminati's regional military. At some point, I and a group of others were tasked with raiding a puppet region of his to learn the ropes. It was some lunch room with a bunch of popular kids that were talking smack. That was my first raid, and I thought it was an interesting concept. I think the second raid we did was Akihabara. I had really wanted to steal the region, it had a founder, but an Exec WA seat as well. Luckily, we were able to take it, kick the founder out, and move out to refound it.

I didn't really get into proper raiding until around October of that year, after Illuminati's founder was DEAT'd. I remember sitting in a VC with Rigel, Altino, and a few others and we had watched The Invaders jump into Russia. Tito piled in there, but couldn't beat the Invader's numbers. I thought that was inspiring stuff, so I ended up joining up with them. That was back when like a bunch of popular raiders were in there, and Knott was in charge. I had been so intrigued by DEN and it's history, so it was really cool to me to be part of its second life. I remember, that during this time, I met Yuno who brought me over to TWPAF to learn and practice tagging, triggering, and all the other essentials. Badger was delegate there and gave us a lot of freedom. I eventually was appointed as commander in early 2017 if I remember right. And like that, I was pretty much held captive by some of the coolest people I've come to meet. In TWPAF, one of my proudest successes was the invasion of Hong Kong. The first attempt, we were caught by fendas and lightly mocked, but I was determined to take it, so we planned a long-term sleeper op and in the end, came out on top.

I left TWPAF in 2020 after going through burn out. I was really depressed at the time, and had been going severe dysphoria, and it was really bad. There was a lot going on in my personal life, and it felt like the world was ending. I felt some relief taking a step away from NationStates, but I came back around fall I think to start up The Hall Of The Red Rose. I placed an emphasis on stealth ops and unconventional raiding. It was really fun while it lasted, but I ended up slowly becoming less and less available again. It was around that time that the gender dysphoria was reaching an all-time high. By November 1st, I decided that 18 years of dealing with that garbage was enough, and came to terms with being trans. But I still had to come out to my family which made me feel pure doom. I eventually got the courage in February the following year, and they ended up being accepting. From there, a massive amount of my long-term depression was lifted.

I ended up returning to LWU which I had been raiding on and off with over the last year or so. Now I like to raid with both LWU and BoM, it's kept me plenty busy! ^-^ Oh! There was also a time in 2018 when me and Lynxi made a region and we things! It was the best of times! I would love to have another go at it actually...

but that about catches my story up. I look forward to raiding for a very long time with you all!

Got started in the A Liberal Haven raid. Read the world factbook entry and thought it was hilarious. So I sent a puppet over to tbh to read some of their stuff and get started in their raid. Took their reserves flag, and the rest is history! Got truly involved after this nation was ejected from my place after being accused of "treason" (funnily enough, I did commit treason, but not for what they were blaming me of). Explored around a bit in Osiris and TBH, and then decided to found my new place. I got hooked on the community. It gets a bad rap, but it's a really nice group!

Let’s see here. I started this game upon the recommendation of a friend. I read through all of the recruitment emails, and being an edgy teenager, the black riders caught my eye. So I joined and was a lowly piler. Then a month later, I believe, the founder was nuked. Upon reflection I was probably recruited using the illegal script that caused the deletion but eh.

So with that home dying, I followed Knott (I believe. I was desperate for anyone I remembered), to DEN. I piled for another year there. Then it ALSO imploded. That sucked but I finally decided it was time to become a tagger.

I followed someone else to Hydra Command. I joined that and learned to tag from Tom and Yuno. It was at this time I branched out to Firehelm and The Black Hawks. I just kinda kept raiding for all of these regions. I was taught by Koth how to trigger. Since this was in the shadow of Predator it was FULLY manual. Pulling the dumps and doing the math. With this skill and some refinement from Kleo, I was promoted to officer in Firehelm. So that took most of my attention. Then that imploded. Starting to see the theme?

So I moved to TRE. Since that’s where the Firehelm leadership moved. It was at this time my real life got busy and I became disillusioned with this entire game. I didn’t resign per say, but I completely ghosted the region and it imploded (again) in my absence.

My four years of retirement was nice. At some point in time I was ejected from the black hawks for inactivity, I rejoined it and occasionally talked in it to avoid being kicked. Eventually Miravana raided a liberal haven and pulled every fossil he could to pile, myself included. I joined the pile since why not? Once that concluded, I moved to the rejected realms since I didn’t want to be aligned. Heard through the grapevines that the mystic council was raided. Joined thay as a piler. I started to get a fondness for the region. Koth founded it, and he taught me a lot of what made me a raider. And Venico was one of the people who founded the OFO. So I decided to join it after saying several times to several people that I wasn’t getting back into the game. And now I’m back. In the winter. Triggering and tagging at least weekly.

Same with Thorn, I was invited by a friend to join this webgame, and eventually joined their region which was created solely for a group of IRL friends playing NationStates. Knew military gameplay for the first time from campaigns launched by Genua. I was to take arms and do something to stop their actions, and to retaliate if possible. So with a friend, I started my military career as a mercenary, and raiding regions to add them into my personal collection. But I was in complete carelessness in regards to WA membership rules and got DEAT'ed, after perpetual rule breakings

I then stopped playing NS until sometime around February '21. I was intending to involved in the above-mentioned region's politics, but ended up dragged into R/D again, after being outraged by the significant increasing of Genua activities. Also around this time I began my personal intelligence career, learning how to gather informations and concluding them, verifying their validity, and so on

After the Fall of Genua, I started to build up my personal military, as to face the possible retaliation of Genua remnants, and to capture the regions formerly colonized by them, and to secure them from being recaptured. I then engaged in military gameplay to grow my influence and pursue my interests in NS ever since (the exact thing Genua had demonstrated before, they gained fame and attention through this means)

Yeah this sounds narcissistic but this is how it's. I now have some colleagues but they also pursue their own interests, same with me. It would be counted as a lie if I said this is a work of the team, and for the team

Once upon a time in about... October 2008, would be my first raid. It was for the Commonwealth of Regions; which at that time was a group of 5 regions, and I suspect I no longer remember the correct names of all 5 as the Commonwealth had quite a few regions go in and out over time. The target was Sparta; there'd been some sort of tiff between them and us. In the end, I served as point- on this nation, in fact. We made the sloppiest jump of all time (about 40 minutes early) and got it. The raid actually ended in me getting into a lot of trouble; we weren't explicitly a raider group, we were just undertaking specific military action in response to hostile activity. Our monarch Charles (nation was Coffee and Crack when he still played) expressed intent to start raiding other regions because we felt like it, and for some reason 15 year old me took exception to that. I got into a lot of trouble and had a 1-2 month ban, but was able to return later and elected to just get stuck into raiding.

We soon launched a coup on Lazarus at the start of 2009- back then Lazarus didn't actually have kick/ban powers, so it was mostly just an endoswap deal. The delegate we couped was Killer Kitties, aka Evil Wolf. He cut a deal to give up if we'd give LWU access to our internal recruitment tools, and he started leading our military, and that's when I started raiding on a regular basis. After I left the Commonwealth, I was directly approached by Dream Killers to join Unknown, and continued my raiding career there.

When I started I initially gravitated towards NatSov (sucker for a good cause) and so landed in Tiamat after Gatesville folded (Unknown was the other contender; also a sucker for a good cult). This was 2012/13. Not long after there's some big drama (as there always is) about some raid. I looked into it, it seemed like fun so I piled Wetwork Xiii (RIP) into a TBH raid, met Jakker who politely queried who the hell I was and joined TBH soon after that. For me it was always the big picture; Defenders were hypocritical and self serving and seemed to willfully ignore the fact that there is no such thing as genuine altruism. There was honesty in Raiding, and coupled with a 'survival of the active' ethos it ticked all boxes for me from a NatSov perspective too.

I'll soon join everywhere...

as for the dotd!

i got introduced to ns as a whole by my sister, but was a lowly issue-answerer for a couple years, haha

my interest in raiding started out when tbr tagged my region. seeing that the game allowed you to do that seemed pretty neat, so i moved a nation into there, and then proceeded to do nothing with it for ages :')

finally ended up joining tbh and den near the start of 2016, and the rest is history. love the people too much to leave fully <3

My first proper raid was St Abaddon, back when I was in Balder. I had piled a couple times before that, but this was my first jump, and also when I decided to join BoM.

Also, you may have noticed my nation has changed. That's because I wanted to bring back my very first nation I raided under, which leads me to our question.

When did you start raiding, and what got you into it?

For those of you who have never raided before, but are interested, make sure you join the discord and we'll get you involved! The link is in the World Factbook Entry. :D

A bit late to this, however I don't get to have an NS story time very often so I'm going to do so anyway because there's no other question of the day.

I first started my R/D journey in July of 2020 during my time in Europeia. At the time, I was pretty new to NS (I had only joined in April of the same year) and I was having trouble finding reasons to visit gameside. Europeian gameside was rather trash at the time and the RMB was still in its Drew Boomer phase of toxicity, so that was out and I wasn't into cards quite yet, which made options pretty limited. That is, until I discovered R/D.

The idea had interested me a few times a little, however I never gave it a real thought until I was looking through the jobs list in the region, where I discovered the ERN (Europeian Republican Navy for anyone who doesn't know) and decided to try and join. My first ever raid wasn't anything special, just running me through the basics of jumping, however my second one was a lot more influential/memorable, being a 40 puppet shotgun raid with TBH. This was the real raid that moved me towards raiding, where I jumped all the way up to Lieutenant in the ERN and joined TBH in December of that same year.
