You relax by... what exactly? Being apart of an organization that spends entire days of their life toppling regional governments via exploiting a loophole in the game and intrigue that would make Nixon proud?

The amount of time and effort raiders put into bullying children who own founderless regions and/or gaining the trust of people only to take over their region makes me think it's a bit more than just a game to these people.

this is like 2b2t
it's more than just a game to these people
it's a whole damn lifestyle

I personally find it tiresome and rather petty. It just goes to show that it's basically griefing.... I'm surprised that Luna Amore and the others are letting this go ahead....aren't they going to intervene?

At least when I spend hours of my life writing about stupid lore stuff, I am more likely to make friends than enemies, lol

usually i tag raid and hang out in a vc, it’s like 1.5 hours just chilling and moving from region to region pretty quickly

I see this kind of thing as dishonest as one can get. The objective of "it's only a game" is always to deflect the point of the argument being made.

Yes, it is a game. We all know that. Obiously. Literally nobody ever has doubted that Nationstates is, in fact, a browser-based game that is entirely not real.
But what do you do with games? You play them. And, even if raiding is a completely legal move and I'm not passing moral judgement on that, because (as much as I can dislike it) it adds some sort of spice to this game; it can still ruin things. And that's what people are complaining about: the raid of The Embassy has kinda ruined the fun of some people.

And yes, it's a game, but that doesn't mean people can't take it seriously (which goes both ways, both to raiders and people getting raided/defenders).
I personally didn't participate in the RMB of The Embassy because I just like being in my region doing silly lore and whatever, so I'm definitely not speaking for myself here. Just to be clear.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk, I guess? lol

also english ain't my first language so sorry if some of the above doesn't make sense

Well, the raid is legal. You cant be mad at the raiders when the natives gave away their password.

Then that makes you an immature person. This region was soley based on embassys nothing more, there can be so many other "embassy regions"

Quite simple actually, because I can.

You are immature.. lol you make no sense, and instead of trying to liberate the region you come to the post and whine like a little child!

That's exactly why raiders raid.

Oh, don't get me wrong. This raid is completely legal and that's fine. We completely agree on everything you say up until your first stop.
That doesn't mean that some players can't get angry at that. It doesn't matter how the raiders got in (I haven't read the entirety of the RMB so idk, and also idc). Getting angry, no matter how much, at this situation doesn't make you immature. Immature would be throwing insults and being disrespectful, which angry =/= disrespectful.

play nice come on

Most of the people coming at the raiders are very rude, and I dont agree with the raid but honestly this whole time everyone has been giving them attention meaning more raiders, and making them more popular (even if it is in a negative way) on nationstates.
