A Letter from the Capitalis De Societate of The United Defenders League,It’s been a fun week here at The United Defenders League. With June 13 upon us,
the festivities to celebrate our organization’s first anniversary have now wrapped up and have been archived. I’m honoured that The United Defenders League has become such a successful defender organization and in
my keynote address to the Festivities I discussed some of the fun history behind The United Defenders League (such as how we got our symbol!).
During the festivities, players ate chicken and partied in the Great Hall (which was later invaded by the Dutch Disease – RARRRH) and bought swords, shields, armor, clothing and wizardry supplies at the marketplace which can be worn as a badge on customer’s forum accounts.
The Robes of the Underworld was the most popular item bought, probably because it looks awesome:
GRRRR, I ONLY HAVE FOUR TEETH, GRRRR.In another part of the festivities, we bet on who would be the next poster (because UDLers seem to be big gamblers?), Kogvuron won that easily by tens of thousands. In a jousting tournament, Solm defeated me! Fischistan defeated Tim-Opolis and Camwood, looking like the champion until Almaniania (“The Champion of the Walrus”) defeated him after a long fought after battle.
During last week, The Black Hawks raided Capitalist Paradise; immediately, The United Defenders League staff launched a telegram campaign to inform natives and prompt them of an action plan: (1) remain calm, (2) unendorse the raider delegate, (3) endorse former native delegate. The administration of Capitalist Paradise quickly got involved with The United Defenders League becoming military liaisons on our forums. I have to honour the administration of Capitalist Paradise; I’ve been a defender for a while now and seen some regions who hardly put effort into getting their region back; but Afforess and Ad Vitam Adsum were in communication with us all day, telegrammed their community and help us organize a liberation. Ad Vitam Adsum also showed great leadership when he wrote an apology and condemnation of prior behavior to 10000 Islands in response to the griefing of Urbanites by Capitalist Paradise. In another week or so, Ad Vitam Adsum is expected to release the full post-liberation policy plan for Capitalist Paradise – talks of new recruitment, endorsements caps and a new regional army has already stirred up lots of discussion on the Capitalist Paradise Regional Message Board.
Unfortunately, The United Defenders League was not able to help Capitalist Paradise further, but The Black Hawks, threatened with the possibility of a liberation, placed a password on the region to avoid confrontation and then left the region shortly after. The incident was the spark to a firestorm of proposals to change the game’s code; influence, WA delegacy changes and much more have been suggested to be changed (you can find these proposals in
Technical).
As for other military action: it’s been a slow week but we had a fun liberation in the Blood Cave against Lone Wolves United and Bacon Strips, a liberation in the Dictatorship Government Alliance against The Internationale where we hid and used Marxist flags to avoid being banned and ejected – we’re now being called “
The Unprincipled Dictatorship Lovers” by The Internationale apparently to my amusement. We’ve had defences in Americano States against the Greater German Reich (with the FRA) and a defence of Nations of Christendom. We’ve been running detags and restoration missions all month and just arranged a failed attempt to liberate South America.
Now, for some fun news:
CONGRATULATIONS to Fischistan and Ravania for their appointment as Lieutenants. We’ve needed a few more good men to serve as officers during updates; Fischistan is a regular recipient of UDL’s Liberator of the Month and Most Defences of the Month and regarded as one of the promising new stars in the game, Ravania is our lead Detagger and all around shining talent; both show considerable talent, expertise and a willingness to lead and organize. I wish them both good defending in the coming months.
We’re also very proud to announce our new recruits this month, including Romanoffia (Executive Councillor and recent runner-up for Delegate in The North Pacific), East Weidmanland, Alyekra (who has been kicking butt with Solm! Keep it up!), Druach and Anacasppia of Democratium, Cowardly Pacifists (Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of Social Liberal Union and renowned WA Author!), Great Nepal (you may remember as the recipient of SC#24’s condemnation), Trilobitia (has been very very enthusiastic, I look forward to working with him more!), Brituarion from Democratic Socialist Assembly, Vitius, ZackStein, Alec W. G. Stuart and Vibhor O'Connor from United Kingdom and Bergnovinaia (recipient of SC#39’s commendation)!!
Although we’re getting a few new Lieutenants, we’re also VERY VERY excited to welcome Mahaj back to the battlefield. Mahaj has been taking the past few months off of active combat to serve as Osiris’s Kai Repat.
Well, I think that’s everything. Wait, do you want to bring back movie night? I want to do a movie night. Hhhm. Yes, let’s do a movie night.
July 23 8:00 PM EDT, we’ll watch Pirates of the Caribbean in the UDL IRC channel (#udl on Espernet). The channel will be made public for everyone; defenders, raiders, neutrals.
Here’s your Moment of Zen:
