In all mytime of playing, I have never encountered an invader region. My region of alleanza may be a defending region, but we've never come across an invader. Where are all of you?

Well, to be honest, invading is dying-off overall in NS. Personally, I think this has a lot to do with the slow decline of the game and the falling numbers of active players. Invader vs Defender conflicts used to be the focus of much of the activity in this game. If anything, the defenders have been too successful for their own good.
Red Liberty Alliance didn't really help by sabotaging the Invaders forum. That destroyed an entire NS community and simply symbolises how one-sided things are now. Although I don't actually like invasions or invaders in general, I think they made the game more better in many ways. We now have quite a drastic shortage of "bad guys" and its not good for anyone.

In my view, the less invaders the better. I'm seeing invader regions converting to neutrals and getting more involved in political process and the like - and I like it. Sure, we do need a few invaders to liven up the game a bit, but with swarms of invaders innocents get invaded and that's not a nice feeling (I should know. I've been invaded four times in total in my old region)

In a sense, it is sad that invading has been so reduced. There's stilll the odd half-decent invader region out there, but really invading in general is barely a shadow of its former self. (Though it should be interesting to see how the big defender alliances evolve to deal with this)

I'm almost tempted to take up invading to bolster the numbers, almost. ;)

The Region of Funny Guys still invades somewhat ok nevermind...

But seriously, I have a friend who I was helping take over a region, and then the natives come and let in the ADN! What's really the point of that?

Not to be rude, but I've never heard of your region. That kinda shows a lot about the situation. The Invaders are divided too much and spread thinly across many little regions. They will have to combine forces in some way to ever be a threat again.

That's coz it's only around 2 months. But, if you go to Invaders, DEN, LWU, TBH, and many others, they will of heard of me and it.

of crazed, you may of herd of the region i am from, DEN

invader activity has been slowed along with defender activity, i dont remeber the last liberation i saw. Now all i see are puppets flooding in.

Raiders exsist, but we loose members when we find our "friends" are defender spies. And when our fourms are destroyed.

but a few stubborn invaders will always exsist

Probably, and I have heard of DEN..
I don't think anybody can seriously defend the destruction of the Invaders forum.

What is TBH? I've heard about the other invader groups. I'm not that active as a defender (damn real life and early mornings :p)

The destruction of the forum of Invaders was totally out of line IMHO. Oh well, battle each other on the fields, but not in hacking or courts please :)

I'm a WWIIOL strategist and Supremacy guru, I spend way too much online time fighting, I am all about conquest. But the fights around here are so I dunno, I don't care. Roleplaying a fight? OOoooh I overran a forum. Ick. Why bother?
