Lone Wolves United

Lone Wolves United, the legendary crasher region that's been on the raiding scene since 2005, is back. Last year we were announcing victories against the Lazarus Liberation Army after talks with the People's Republic of Lazarus broke down following the unilateral cancellation of their treaty with us. Let me bring you up to speed. Long-time raider and covert instigator Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was sadly branded Delete-on-Sight by the game moderators due to infringements of the NationStates rules. LSD, one-time Khan of Lone Wolves United, recently held the positions of DIE Director and saKhan, and was a mastermind of many plots and schemes over the years which we cannot rightfully claim the credit for. LSD worked tirelessly to revive Lone Wolves United, from February until July 2014, amongst his many accomplishments as saKhan were a successful takeover of Hogwarts, a computerised raiding simulation for training recruits, and a thawing of tensions with the Unknown Empire of Incognita.

 

Tragedy struck in the last week of July, a dispute over the leadership of LWU led him to attempt to coup the organization using his control of the forum as leverage. Khan and Founder Evil Wolf didn't bow to this frankly treacherous and underhanded manoevre, citing that the organization could never be placed in the hands of a DoS player, and that LWU would never cave to such a threat even if it was destroyed in the process. The forums were deleted and remained an unspeakable mess until it was eventually tidied up by the remaining admins and quietly re-opened in February 2015.

 

Tabaqui as Raider Commander has been organizing military operations in the intervening time, progress has been painfully slow, with setbacks in ITALIA, Renegade Islands Alliance, and Portugal. Dissatisfied raiders in the organization, stirred up by ex-wolf he-who-must-not-be-named, instigated a mutiny against Tabaqui's de facto leadership on 23rd March 2015. This was fortunately quelled by the timely return of Evil Wolf who has been busy elsewhere.

 

In April, ex-wolf 94 Block offered some friendly advice on recruiting and the massive D.I.R.E. engine was turned on the Rejected Realms, yielding an inspiring total of 2 recruits. The newbies turned out to be pretty darn competent, as a practice raid resulted in five hits (Sons of Islam, A More Peaceful World, A State of Confidentiality, Krystallmacht and Former United States) on Saturday 18th April at the major, a most pleasing result considering tags are not our strong suit. More raids will be coming although we obviously can't tell you what to expect, you'll have to wait and see!

 

We wish all our friends and enemies warm regards and thank you for sticking with us through a long and frustrating slow spell. Particularly we want to shout out to Unknown for being a friend to us and seriously reforming, to the South Pacific for making Wolf so welcome over there, to The East Pacific for opening relations with us, to the LKE for diligently exchanging ambassadors and Glass Gallows just for being you. Actually I want to go further and thank the Rejected Realms for writing about us this year, even when we weren't doing anything!

 

On a personal note from Tabaqui, everybody who has no dealings with us who helped make operations happen and gave their support, you know who you are.

 

P.S. The booze has been much appreciated.

Your association with forum destroyer 94 block is disturbing.

Indeed, but I believe that they did this was totally worth it:

In April, ex-wolf 94 Block offered some friendly advice on recruiting and the massive D.I.R.E. engine was turned on the Rejected Realms, yielding an inspiring total of 2 recruits.

This is ridiculous. It sounds like satire.

Niadh can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think 94 Block is involved in LWU anymore. Merely speaking to a forum destroyer shouldn't be disturbing; harboring one should be.

*nods*

He posted this clarifcation in Equilism...

No he offered help but it was declined.

He was like get an API you really need to auto recruit and I was like nah. I just got a book of stamps and recruited manually.

I have not raided with him and nor is he an unofficial advisor.

May 2016 Update --

THE RETURN OF GREAT FOUNDER SCARDINO
 
The raids on Great Barrier Reef and City Ankh Morpork marked a changing point in the history of Lone Wolves United. Led by the historic founder himself, Scardino, and Il-Khan Anera the inspirational assaults have rekindled regional pride that has ushered in a wave of reconstruction. When asked about Lone Wolves United and the anniversary of it's founding, Scardino this to say:
These two successful raids demonstrate, in different ways, the cunning and resourcefulness that Lone Wolves United was made known for. Furthermore, the 11 year anniversary on its own inspires confidence not only in the future of raiding, but the unique identity and ideology of Lone Wolves United.
While many in the region could see LWU lasting for the foreseeable future, this development has supercharged efforts to revitalize the legendary crasher organization. For some wolves, the simple prospect of seeing Scardino return and take a more active interest in the day to day operations has stimulated renewed interest in a stronger, better, faster Lone Wolves United.

MAY 10th FOUNDATION DAY, 11th LWU ANNIVERSARY

Founder Scardino praised Khan Evil Wolf for his dedication to the cause over so many years while addressing the World on the LWU RMB. The Khan carried his vision and had the dedication as well as perseverance to see it put into action. Evil Wolf in many regards is seen as the driving force behind the infamous history of this region, even though he is commended. To make the most of our anniversary we are expanding on what makes our region great while also adding more of that signature flair exclusive to our little slice of the World. 
 
DEER NOTICE

Judgement on Great Barrier Reef

 

After some consideration, a judgement on the region was posted on its regional message board:
 
To any remaining active nations of Great Barrier Reef:
 
Since we took occupation of your region, following the demise of your founder and a failed attempt at its defense, we have heard the pontifications of the moral elites in NationStates condemning you. Considering you to be guilty of indecency by extension of your founder's sins, they judged your region unworthy of being liberated and unworthy of recourse. Thus, a blind eye was turned to your region's occupation by such moral authorities as The Founderless Regions Alliance and 10000 Islands, who was informed of your plight on their own regional message board.
 
At first, believing in second chances and mercy, I was reluctant to hear these damning opinions. Over these past few days, though, I must admit that I have been convinced by the persistence of their condemnation and the conviction with which they have held their judgement. Finally, when The Romanticist Congregation of Klopstock suppressed comments on the message board of 10000 Islands notifying them of your troubles rather than come to your aid, I knew for certain I must be the one misjudging your character. With this in mind, I began to ban any active member nations and have made a conscious effort to choke the life out of your region, shutting out any who may attempt resuscitation. This body of iniquities, identified as such through the virtue of your founder by the most prominent defenders in NationStates, does not deserve representation. For this reason, I will continue to strangle you and purge our world of the region too despicable to be defended.
 
Thank you, again, for your hospitality. The time we have spent in your region has been a pleasure.
 
 
** As a side note I apologize for the horrible formatting of the previous update. It was made for zetaboards forum software.

LONE WOLVES UNITED | D.E.E.R. PRESS RELEASE
"for your protection"
LATE MAY 2016
 
NASICOURNIA
 
The ancient defender backwater of Nasicournia was attacked by wolves at update following the disappearance of its founder, Pope Hope. While she was out getting her beauty sleep, the Wolves rolled in to steal the delegacy. After a prompt response from the safety patrol, the raid was stuffed and the sitting delegate was reinforced. After a brief moment of disappointment, the raiders quickly realized that Tuesday Heights was only active enough to keep up with national issues and had paid no attention to the region he was presiding over. With the delegacy out of reach and the defenders unable to remove the raiders, the whole pack proceeded to party like it was 1999. 
 
THE REVENGE OF THE WOLVES
 
During the events unfolding in Nasicournia it was revealed that long time wolf Lamb Stone is actually a Sith Lord! Darth Stone had recently returned from a long slumber but is now fully active within Lone Wolves United serving as a Khalif.

HAIKU CONTEST

Scardino judging haikus as Pope Hope looks on disapprovingly
 
Scardino, acting under the puppet Liberty Unlimited, declared an official region-wide haiku contest inviting raiders, defenders, and natives alike to participate with a cash prize. All contest entries are posted below. Abenthy, operating under the puppet Ludite People, was declared the winner. Pope Hope was originally asked to judge this contest but declined to respond. Congratulations to Abenthy on winning and thank you to everyone who participated.

THE RETURN OF POPE HOPE
 
Seeing Pope Hope as the last hope of ridding the region of vicious wolves, an army of dark knights pooled together their evil blood magic to conjure their dark savior from the realms of Facebook.

Lone Wolves United has always been a bastion of escape for those seeking refuge from the mandated torments of other regions. Events such as this raid party demonstrate that we are dedicated to our core principal of having fun first. We are a region that is only as serious as we need to be.

Glad that you guys liked the late may update :) here is the June update.

"Leave no scraps"
JUNE 2016
 

 

 

 
ON THE HUNT
 
"Alright", Abenthy said. He paused a moment to strike a match, draw the flame into his pipe, tamp down the tobacco, and send the initial puffs of smoke into the air. "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us." Abenthy drew the warm Latakia tobacco smoke with a long pull deep into his lungs, held it for a moment as he looked about, and exhaled. "They can't get away this time." Abenthy and his men proceeded to hack and slash their way through the defender hordes, climbing over the bodies to catch the remaining defenders as they attempted to flee.

With successful hits on The United Federation of Planets, World Socialist Alliance, Korovia, and the Socialist Union of Authoritarian States, the Wolves have been busy pub crawling throughout the NS world and sampling what each region has to offer. 
 
World Socialist Alliance
 
While scouting, we stumbled upon what seemed to be a pack of feral, free-range fascists who had taken over the region and were slapped on the wrist by the safety patrol. It appeared as though the laziest bunch of defenders had tried to reclaim the region. They successfully kicked-out the delegate leaving a fascist in charge with border control and failing to even reset the WFE! As a matter of principle, we took it upon ourselves to help this region with their pest problem. We helped properly fumigate the region, until the defenders arrived to back-up Joe the Lion; after talking for a little bit, we went on our way. 
 
Korovia

                                                                                                                                In Korovia, Abenthy dispatches defenders in mass.

 

 
Korovia has graciously hosted the most recent party for the Wolves which, by all accounts, was a smashing success. Many flocked to the region to enjoy the party the past few updates, but we had to turn away 36 at the front door despite several attempts at bribing. Least we not forget our defender friends who were absent when the party started. Songs were dedicated to several notable individuals that were sorely missed at our festivities.
 


And I know there's another side
That you never show, that I gotta find
And it's not all in my mind
And I'm here, every night and day
I could be the one your love could save
Baby you left your mark, but I'm still in the dark.

Let me get this straight
The reason why I wait
I know you've been through so much pain
Baby do I wait in vain
If I could shed more light on you
Tell you what was right for you
Your beauty blinds me sure enough
But my heart knows when it's love.

Dedicated to The First Warden of Benevolent Thomas.

I dedicate this to The Traveling Adventures of WA Klopstock. You can suppress my posts but you can not suppress your burning passions.

At night—the light turned off, the filament
Unburdened of its atom-eating charge,
His wife asleep, her breathing dipping low
To touch a swampy source—he thought of death.
Her father's hilltop home allowed him time
To sense the nothing standing like a sheet
Of speckless glass behind his human future.
He had two comforts he could see, just two.

One was the cheerful fullness of most things:
Plump stones and clouds, expectant pods, the soil
Offering up pressure to his knees and hands.
The other was burning the trash each day.
He liked the heat, the imitation danger,
And the way, as he tossed in used-up news,
String, napkins, envelopes, and paper cups,
Hypnotic tongues of order intervened.

Burning Trash by John Updike



Quote

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm so relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker.

Dedicated to The Vigilant Lawman of Deadeye Jack.



Quote

I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come

Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear
So through darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you

Hush now
I see a light in the sky
Oh it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel
With love

Let the rain come down
And wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul
And drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls
For a new sun
A new day has come
A new day has come

Dedicated to The First Warden of Benevolent Thomas for finally not disappointing me.

Ten minutes to downtown is ten minutes too far
When my friends all say I'm crazy,
Maybe I'm being selfish
Maybe I'm just scared
Don't be gone when I get home... I need you there

If I had to explain it, I wouldn't know where to start
It's like you're falling in love, while I just fall apart

Ten minutes to downtown is ten minutes too far
When my heart is saying you're crazy
Maybe things are getting better (maybe things are getting better...)
Maybe things aren't so bad (maybe things aren't so bad...)
Don't be gone when I get home... you're all I have

If I had to explain it, I wouldn't know where to start
It's like you're falling in love, while I just fall apart

Pockets empty, how can you tell me
That everything will work out...
A pointless fight when you're always right
And everything will work out

Sometimes, I miss you more
Whenever I'm at home
I've been home all summer...
Now I'm leaving you alone

Pockets empty, how can you tell me
That everything will work out...
A pointless fight when you're always right
And everything will work out...
Everything will work out...
Everything will work out...

Dedicated to Frattastan II. I promise that everything will work out.

 
 
Korovia was also a special place for Anera since it was her first defense against a liberation attempt. In all, 36 thought they could escape her.

Unfortunately, there were some bad apples in the bunch that wanted to spoil our party before it had even started. They did their best to call the cops, but were disappointed when their noise complaint went unnoticed. After a few nights of steady keg stands and karaoke, the party has ended and we’ve left the clean-up to our hosts.
 
Korovia has remained in contact with us since we left and they are in the process of moving to a new region because of security concerns. We always love talking to natives, especially those who bring more than salt to the table.

                                                                                                     Anerastreia and Abenthy celebrate the successful raid with a traditional LWU dance.

 

 
After a one second jump window that failed to capture Global Federation and noting the fact that we used mostly dirty pups directly from Haunted Forest to carry this out, a change of targets was decided. The Socialist Union of Authoritarian States, or SUAS for short, seemed like a decent place because of how late it was. The raid happened without issue and we even had unlikely support in the form of Altmoras II, who recently defected from their oppressive overlords within the Grey Wardens.

For their first raid, Altmoras did a pretty decent job.

We invite Altmoras to come and join Lone Wolves United, where their urges towards raiding can be more than adequately satiated among friends.
 
CULTURE
 
With a sudden rush of artistic energy and opiates, a renaissance of the humanities has struck Lone Wolves United as beautiful designs for the Lone Puppet flag have poured in with submissions to end and voting to take place soon. In similar fashion, Scardino has created breath-taking portraits of LWU members in the Skype chat. Lamb Stone has also helped broaden the musical catalog of the region, introducing everyone to strange, edgy, and sometimes completely fictional musical groups. Efforts are also underway to help piece together some highly engaging role-playing topics on the forums and we are currently looking for people that would be interested.

AROUND THE REGION
 
Recruitment Contest
 
Lone Wolves United, The Black Hawks, and Unknown are currently involved in a recruitment contest that will end when one region manages to naturally acquire 250 nations. The old record count of nations within our region before undertaking this feat was 170 nations and at the time of writing this we have over 190. The Black Hawks currently hold the lead with over 200 nations while Unknown is in third with 170. 
 
NationStates Game-play Embassy established
 
Back by overwhelming popular demand, Lone Wolves United has set up shop in the Game-play sub forum. Finally, a Drunken Bitch Bar in your neighborhood! Come on down, say ‘Hail!’, and have a few drinks and a few laughs with us. Or don't and miss out. You will regret it.
