THE WINNERS OF THE MONTHLY UNITED DEFENDERS LEAGUE AWARDS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED! Several members picked up a diamond gemstone in recognition of their great contributions to the Greenwood Band.

Secondly, Milograd has defeated Commerce Heights in the epic conclusion of the Tournament of Golden Arrow!

Finally, Astrolinium has won the bet we had running to guess how many nations would remain in NationStates after 28 days after April Fool's Day. Astrolinium was 75 nations off.

A Letter from the Capitalis de Societate of The United Defenders League,

It’s final, I’ll call it:

THE SPRING LULL IS OVER!!!

Cue the summer lull. Nah, but this is as good opportunity as ever to announce that business is back to usual, as new recruits have begun to pore in again (Welcome Zaklen and Nuvu!), after several weeks of admittedly humdrum business; mostly focusing on cracking off the administrative to-do list and completing the occasional de-tag or starring at the massive piling occurring in Scotland and Region of Reunited Muslim States -- in Region of Reunited Muslim States, rather extensive griefing has occurred over the past few weeks with the raid helmed by The Black Riders with assistance from The New Inquisition, The Black Hawks, The Kingdom of Denmark and The Land of Kings and Emperors ; approximately 64 natives have been ejected and banned (or around 70% of the region). Natives suggest that the griefing is anti-Islamic and have been pooling refugees into “RORMS” while their region is still being griefed and unfortunately piled by raiders.

Speaking of region griefing; Fischistan, a merryman with The United Defenders League has a WA Liberation coming to vote in a day to liberate The United Kingdom of Britain, which has been passworded and is being griefed by The Greater German Reich. If the WA liberation passes, I’m sure it’ll be a hot topic in the next update as defender forces will be squaring off against Nazi forces (our *favorite* guys to beat on).

As far as administrative stuff goes, as I said we had been primarily focused on administrative stuff. We’ve *finally* got the Senior Merryman program installed and released for merrymen.

Senior Merryman is a rank that all Merryman qualify for if they pass a standardized and particularly rigorous written exam based on our new UDL guide (which is the *best* defender guide I’ve ever seen, by the way) and demonstrate practical proficiency at liberating, defending and detagging. There was a nasty myth going around that troops from The United Defenders League are plentiful, but untrained and I hope with this new program we’ll see that myth nipped in the butt as Merrymen work towards the Senior Merryman position. All new lieutenants will have to be Senior Merrymen first, before being eligible for lieutenantship; so I can see this being a great incentive to get studying! A pass on the rigorous, closed-book written exam is 90% and a failure to pass requires merrymen to wait one week before attempting to write the exam again. Good luck to all budding Senior Merrymen!

We also, on the subject of administration, have two new awards which will be handed out this month: Triggerperson of the Month and Recruiter of the Month. Recruiter of the Month is self-explanatory; Triggerperson is a role in a modern army that requires a lot of technical skill and requires people to excel in performance under extreme pressure, essentially their job is to calculate and deliver the “move-time” for a mission. I look forward to awarding two well-deserving recipients at the end of the month. Furthermore, during the administrative clean-up, I decided that the main “defender” puppet storage region, Kyzikos, needs a regional flag! If you have ideas, please submit them here.

Also, we’re very pleased to welcome Dalimbar into our staff as a Senior Policy Advisor and he’s been spending the past week or so providing advice on internal matters and foreign policy; I look forward to working with him in the coming months. Dali has a very long track-record as a successful feeder politician and seasoned foreign affairs expert.

Okay enough administrative stuff. Let’s get to the nitty gritty; in the past few days, we’ve been catching up for lost time with various liberations and defences. Out of defences, my personal favorite must be “Continent of Pwned”, where raiders were pwned: attempting to make it look as though defenders had raided the region, the raiders were swiftly and effortlessly ejected and banned from the region by the defender lead. As for liberations, we had a great liberation against DEN in Great White Brotherhood (not a supremacist region) – the final score was 7 to 5 for endorsements.

Likewise, yesterday, we liberated Hong Kong from Aphroditean Empire, in a close 6-5 victory. Now, this mission wasn’t large enough to earn a mission ribbo--

<+Soviet_Canuckistan> and I assume the ribbon will be ready soon

Alright, alright Soviet Canuckistan. I suppose it was a fun mission. Here’s the official mission ribbon:

HOW I ALMOST MET UNIBOT
-By Tim-Opolis. Chief of the Van

It was a sunny day in Florida. I was chilling at Universal Studios in Orlando Florida. Buying up my Slytherin merchandice at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. When suddenly out of the corner of my eye. I saw it! There was only one of this bot anywhere! It was a Unibot! But then I thought about it. "But wait. Unibot lives in Canadia." But it looked so much like him. I was tempted to go over and say hi so I could have the chance of blackma *cough* meeting the leader of the UDL, but I thought it would be awkward if it wasn't him. So I kept walking, still certain that I had seen the one robot that must be Uni Bot. Later, I was chilling in the Three Broomsticks, sipping on my Butterbeer, when I saw him again. Sitting at a table, eating what seemed to be chicken, was that Unibot character that I think defends or something like that. I was sure it was him! Yet he was with what looked like Parental Bots so I did not approach for I was with my homies. And one does not simply abandon their homies to go meet a Bot. Even if it is the Uni Bot. So I walked away.

Later on MSN, This One Bot and I were talking and I found out that it actually was him. I raged. I screamed. I didn't break a keyboard over my knee. But I was pretty damn angry. This had been a chance to blackma *cough cough cough* say hello to the guy that tried to Commend Just Guy. The guy that some TNI troops still don't know. Unibot. It was a terrible moment. I wept deeply. And then I got over it. And went to eat some bacon.
The End.


That's 100% real, by the way.

May Justice Never Be Abandoned,

A Letter from the Capitalis de Societate of The United Defenders League,

Ah, seems like an average week here in The United Defenders League. Albeit a little slow; a lot of our membership has been away doing exams and whatnot with school; I heard there was an attempted liberation of Alliance of Socialist States. But yep, overall it’s been very laid back with a lot of tea-drinking, we’re huge tea-drinkers during updat—

1 minute ago: The Wouldn't It Be Nice of Unibot II ceased to exist.


Ahh. *bites his lip* *passes out*

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Actually, it turns out my deletion was an accident; but it certainly gave some members a scare.

Quote:
 
NationStates Moderators (Saved. 12 hours ago)

Sorry about that deletion - it really was an accident. Had too many tabs open, and was intending to delete 'Unibot XI' which was maliciously impersonating you.


On the list of nightmares-come-true, this is near the top of the list. Okay! So a notice to all, ahem, rules-challenged people out there in NationStates, I recommend not impersonating me – it’s got to be in the top 5 reasons why people are DEAT’d.

In more serious news, Milograd has step down as our Chief Lieutenant. He felt it was his time to move on and has taken the ceremonial position of Guardian of The United Defenders League. He has left the organization in better shape than when he took his position and I wish him the best of luck as he pursues his candidacy for delegate in The South Pacific. Milograd’s duties as Chief Lieutenant were more administrative and often involved being my consultant and confidant – it’s a stressful job, because I’m a stressed out guy. Heh. My hope is that with my new appointment, the Chief Lieutenant will become more military-focused and Solm is the man for the task. Solm, like Milograd, has an extensive history as a roleplayer, but also one of our first members of the United Defenders League and one of the most accountable defenders on our staff. He often ran our minor updates when I couldn’t wake up for the morning and I feel confident in leaving him the organization to run when need be. Please wish Solm good luck; I know I do!

On other news, congratulations to ABK with his appointment as Chief of Orientation. He doesn’t even know he’s been picked yet from the selection of nominations, so this will be a surprise to him. *sniggers mischievously*. The Chief of Orientation’s position is extremely important because he will be making sure that we get everyone who signs up to join our organization, trained and welcomed and “used to” using our IRC channel; which is actually very important if we want to keep growing in membership size.

Okay what’s next on the list… hhhhmm; ah, yes Kyzikos got a flag finally! The contest ended with Sovreignry and Campinia, two of our Senior Merrymen, putting together the winner. Here it is:

This flag is obviously a combination of The United Defenders League and The Founderless Regions Alliance imagery – the two defender organizations that share the region.

Additionally in administrative news; The Hall of Honour has been constructed! The Hall of Honour is our memorial to all of the hard-working officers who have unfortunately had to leave us for various reasons. It was a pleasure unveiling the Hall of Honour and my hope is that in the future it’ll become even more of an honour to have one’s name engraved in its stone alongside such legends and greats of this game *waves to those on the memorial that are reading*.

Furthermore, the monthly awards winners have been announced! Congratulations to all the recipients!

Okay, the last major thing I need to discuss in this update is The United Defenders League’s first anniversary! In the future we may run the holiday just as a day, but it’s our first, so why not have some fun with it, eh? Yes, that’s right, it’s already been a full year since we started up The United Defenders League. The festivities will include gift-exchanging! (lightly roleplayed, of course), various games and activities; the festivities will begin June 7 and end June 13. I’ll post the sceduele for the event when I have it all finalized.

Alrighty, I thinkkkk, that’s all I need to blab to you about. See you around for the Anniversary celebrations! Congratulations to Eluvatar, our Chief of Intelligence, on becoming the delegate of the North Pacific.

If you want a laugh, go check out Mallorea and Riva’s anthropologic study into the depths of defenderdom on the Kyzikos Regional Message Board, here. If you don’t want to go that far for a laugh, here’s your Moment of Zen:

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:

Posted Image
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:

A Letter from the Capitalis de Societate of The United Defenders League,

To whom it may concern: from one proud Canuck to another, Happy Canada Day!

Heh. Now what’s happened this past week? Well, we’ve gotten some great new members that I think we’re going to really enjoy having on our team. Welcome Vibhor O'Connor, from the United Kingdom! In addition to Callisdrun, long-time roleplayer, The Aurora Confederacy, beloved roleplayer from Global Economics and Trade, Meowfoundland, our newest merrycat, Dukopolious, Ellorn, Hawk Watcher, Funkadelia from Taijitu, Auralia, well-known WA author, and last but not least, Prince Windsor from the North Pacific.

We also have welcomed back Topid to our band of merrymen – I guess he just couldn’t resist those tights! In addition to Topid, we also said hello to our newest Judge Advocate, Hyanygo, who is fully qualified, having served as Europeia’s Attorney General, to represent our staff in legal disputes and provide other legal services when the need arises. Lastly, we welcomed Jenrak to our Greenwood Band last week; Jen has already been out defending and helped us successfully liberate The Galaxy just last week!

Speaking of liberating, wow has the United Defenders League been busy! We had three successful liberations in the past few days; we liberated Gargantuan from Democratium Cyber Warfare Units (DCWU) and The New Inquisition; in addition to liberating The Galaxy from Nazi Europe and Zoo from The Black Angels. We also have to thank our allies, The North Pacific Army, The Founderless Regions Alliance and The Royal Defence Force of United Kingdom for helping us liberate these regions and support these missions. A big shout out also goes to Ten Thousand Islands Treaty Organization (TITO) for helping us defend Zoo from a counter-liberation attack by a group of unidentified raiders (saw The Black Hawks, The New Inquisition, The Black Riders there), who tried and failed last night to take back Zoo from the native community.

Those who took part in the missions received these military ribbons (from left to right, Gargantuan, The Galaxy, Zoo):

Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image

What’s next on the agenda to discuss? Eh.. oh! The Monthly Awards have been released in The United Defenders League. Some repeat-winners included Riemstagrad for Triggerman of the Month and ABK for Recruiter of the Month, whilst Mahaj ran away with the Chief’s Award for his leadership shown during the unfortunately, unsuccessful refound of Concosia.

It was unfortunate that were unable to successful refound Concosia; nonetheless, in response to our liberation and attempted refound of Concosia, The New Inquisition has *finally* declared war with us. Like a distinctive growth of silver hair or the aging of fine wine, we accept this inevitable new stage of maturity as a defender organization with honour and grace.

Furthermore, the incident inspired me to commission the “Order of Danmark”, named after one of the natives of Concosia who bravely challenged the foreign occupation by The New Inquisition in their region. Members of the Order of Danmark shall be recognized in our Hall of Honour and shall receive this customary award:

Posted Image

Members of The Order of Danmark are natives of regions that have been threatened by foreign occupation. Natives are awarded this distinction by The United Defenders League for inspirational courage and resilience in the face of oppression. You can find a list of the first recipients of The Order of Danmark here.

Some final stuff on the agenda to discuss: Grays Harbour and Lochinver have be officially sworn in as our first, Master Craftsmans as apart of The United Defenders League’s new Artist’s Guild. Grays is a famous image-maker whose historical work includes the early mission ribbons used by the Texas Defense Forces. Nowadays he's now known more for his creation of stationary and currency images in Factbooks and National Information, in addition to being a beloved National Sovereignist in the WA General Assembly. Lochinver is a well-established image-maker in Global Economics and Trade who designed the format for Lyran Arms and Metix Digital’s storefronts; an incredible talent in the field of headers and miscellaneous image design which is on display in his storefront. We wish them the best of luck! The Artist’s Guild will be completing image requests for defenders, which may include flags for defender puppets, military ribbons, badges, seal and other assorted requests.

Also, Movie Night was a swashbuckling success (yarh!), with the crowd enjoying “Pirates of the Caribbean”. Next week, on July 14 2012 8:00 EDT, The United Defenders League will be hosting a screening of “The Dark Knight” in its IRC channel for Movie Night – all are welcome; this will hopefully prepare all those Bat-junkies for the Dark Knight Rises coming out the week after that.

Well I think that just covers about everything I wanted to cover this week, erm, defences, awards, TNI, artists and Batman. Yep.

Here’s your Moment of Zen:

A Letter from the Capitalis de Societate of The United Defenders League,

<Milograd> What's going on?
<Solm> 6 Libs in a row is what's going on


Well said, Solm. Well said. The United Defenders League has been freeing regions left, right and centre with military victory after military victory these past few days. Last update, I spoke about our missions in Gargantuan, The Galaxy and Zoo – since then, Gargantuan has finally been cleaned of raiders after a weeklong post-liberation support mission. During the weekend, we successfully managed to juggle all of our support missions and leave The Black Riders and co. unable to try to “re-raid” Zoo or Gargantuan. This left one newbie Black Rider upset as he stormed out of Gargantuan as soon as it updated and declared on the Black Riders’ Regional Message Board:

Quote:
 


Amusing as that was, there are more successes to talk about from this week. The United Defenders League also liberated Senatus Populusque Romanus that same day from under the noses of The Greater German Reich. Oh.. and I guess ze Nazis didn’t like zat, so they tried to raid it again last night – unfortunately for them the Greenwood Band was active and shot down their raid with a quick defense lead by Sr. Merryman Jamie, Mewsland and Soviet Canuckistan. Nice one boys!

Then the next day, The United Defenders League and The North Pacific Army ambushed raiders in St. Abbaddon to liberate it in a close, 15-13 victory against The Black Hawks and The Black Riders plus Unknown and our good erm… friends, The New Inquisition, and The Land of Kings and Emperors who were providing support. We made this liberation look easy, but liberators were facing an active raider delegate in St Abbaddon who only managed to eject and ban two soldiers during the liberation (poor Lep and Sov!). Also, a big shout out goes to New Warsaw Pact and Empire of Andrew for helping us during the Post-Liberation support stage!

Perhaps the most amusing part about the St Abbaddon mission was Lieutenant Mahaj, liberating St Abbaddon with a puppet emerging from The New Inquisition, flying The New Inquisition flag. The New Inquisition has yet to declare war on Mahaj, but I fear a speech or lecture on the subject of vexillological thievery is in the works.

But wait! There’s *more*! If you call now you ca—well there is more, The United Defenders League also liberated Former United States from The Black Riders; in a strong showing for a Monday morning, thirteen Merrymen rode into the region in the three second window of opportunity provided to elegantly take the delegacy from the Raiders and return said authority back to the native community safely. There were no ejections or bans of defenders during the mission.

Participants in these various liberations received the following military ribbons:

Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image

A shout out goes out to Milograd who was lead in the Former United States liberation – coincidentally, Former United States is officially his first mission back as an active defender since he retired last month. Milograd recently retook the Scarlet Oath and we’re all extremely happy to have our organization’s Guardian back on the team with his fisticuffs ready. He received a warm welcome back from his fellow defenders. Likewise, we also welcomed back Jamie Anumia back to The United Defenders League too! Jamie has returned to defending and has already been kicking butt with defences and liberations, even leading the liberation of Senatus Populusque Romanus!

On the subject of new members, we’ve gotten many new members over the past week. We’re welcoming some new additions to our team including, Denecaep, former WA Delegate of Azhukali and founder of the NS World Censuses, Euskirribakondara, whose World Hit Festival has been a smashing hit in NationStates, Laos Refugees, former infiltrator of NAZI EUROPE, Phonencia of Capitalist Paradise, Raymond Sullivan of United Kingdom, The Kingdom of Okwe of West Africa, Morlago of Region IRC, Novus Niciae of Balder avid roleplayers: Nui-ta, Camelza, Remad, Grand Britannia, Deneager, Segmentia, Vecherd, Veladio, Sheepish, Sanian Confederacy, Alternate Universe 912, Vudnia, Kingborough, Veceria, Vettrera, Methoria, Immoren, Socialist republic of Andrew, founder of Republic of Andrew and his regional colleague, Mlewta!

Furthermore, Lochinver, our Master Craftsman, has been incredibly busy! At the beginning of the week, he designed seals for all our organization’s various departments. He also designed the new banner and images involved with this letter, which you may have noticed are new and shiny. Lochinver was appointed our Master Craftsman in our new Artist’s Guild, his storefronts, Lochinver Ordnance, are highly reputable.

OH! AND REMEMBER! Movie Night is on July 14 2012 8:00 EDT in #udl on Espernet. We’ll be opening up our private military channel for the public to watch “The Dark Knight”. I hope to see you there!
