Here's the latest FRA press release...

Good day Raider friends!

Your wonderful friends here at the FRA have decided to release a little intel debriefing for your viewing pleasure. For those of you who have not yet enjoyed the continuous barrel of laughs that we have been enjoying, we thought it would be a good time to clue you in. For several months now we have enjoyed toying with a little "spy" (if you wish to call him that): your friend Ancestral Tachi. You may or may not know that Tachi is actually your beloved Savaer in a shoddy mask.

We however, have known this for quite a long time. In fact, he has been returning back to you under the assumption that he has had unlimited access to FRA intelligence, this is truly a farce of epic proportion.

Savaer is (from our understanding) a character that plays this game to fuel his own ego and like petty fools, you helped to inflate it as much as humanly possible by listening and lapping up his ludicrous stories.  Since the Raider community truly believed he was useful to have around, we decided it would be fun to use this humongous failure to our advantage. His believed "success" was so staunch that he quickly ran back to you telling tall fairy-tales of all the trouble he was causing for the FRA. Now, if any one person had taken the time and bothered to do any research at all, it would be quite apparent that these super duper spy stories were in fact complete lies.

We understand however, how easy it would be to fall into this wonderful trap.
The elaborate details which Savaer used to enrich his stories would certainly be appealing to many of your regions as you were struggling to make any progress in intelligence here. Because Savaer was the first "big break"  in a long time, it seemed that he was doing quite well in your eyes by spying on us.

But we're not here to speak about his dishonesty or some trumped up FRA destruction story. We have come today merely to revel in his stupidity and  failures of epic proportion.

As mentioned before, we have known who Tachi is from the moment he logged onto the FRA forum. Myself, then Arch Chancellor Sedge, and his Deputy Kobold, set about building a lovely little falsified FRA intelligence forum. I can assure that we spared no expense at making this wonderful falsehood believable.  We took several worthless topics from the Night-life area full of counting games, and edited the posts into half truths of past operations and involvements of the FRA. I even left a few of the original posts in for my own entertainment. :D

We then began constructing, (with a little use of admin manipulation), this fake intelligence archive where important topics were supposedly moved from the main intelligence forum on a regular basis for more secure storage of FRA secrets. These "important topics" were largely spam threads, and my personal favorites were topics similar to “Sedge’s Mom is a hottie” which were followed by plenty of posts with this image...

Savaer’s only view of this wonderful forum looked like this...

So Savaer has been looking at a fake intelligence forum whilst we have been able to manufacture intelligence knowing fully well that it was being leaked back to many of you. The results have been simply beautiful to watch, and were quickly reinforced by all the nice little screenshots Savaer was able to take. This made our fake intelligence appear all the more convincing. Here's a quick glimpse at Tachi's masking on our forums...

In fact our fake intelligence system was improved by at least ten-fold thanks to  Savaer’s compulsive habit of over-exaggerating every glorious tidbit of information we chose to "leak" to him in an attempt to make his "Spy" work on this intelligence look more admirable than it really was. (he was so honestly so poorly under cover that even he should have questioned his luck, and ease in getting hold of so much intelligence)

Our fake intelligence stream firstly saw the complete and utter implosion of the raider region; The Brotherhood of Blood. We managed to place huge question marks over trusted members of their region, which then grew from mere bickering and mistrust, to fighting, and eventually a complete split.

We even watched in utter glee when one of their members was silently banned from the region, followed by the slow destruction of the regions operational capabilities. That has been our singular focus in this expedition.
To destroy, and hinder operational capabilities. Our intention was never to tear the community apart, TBOB lost their forum due to the selfish actions of one of their own members and without us lifting as much as one finger.

But Savaer couldn't stop there; he had been so successful at getting our wonderful intelligence files, that he made it his effort, no his pledge, to inform any raider region he could find, of any fake intelligence that could "help" them.

We’ve continued our running joke as we have watched a number of raiding regions suffer from severe paranoia, even at times throwing allied agents off guard who felt it pertinent to listen to the wonderful falsehoods that Savaer was able to produce and distribute.

One very large and proud raiding region had its leader too scared to even appoint members into any positions, under the assumption that some of their most trusted members were FRA spies.

Hats off to your wonderful friend, for with his great work we managed to conduct an entire successful intelligence operation without the use of any agents.

(not to say that they’re not deployed, they just haven’t had to report back to us and thusly have infiltrated more regions under that climate than ever before because they’ve been harder to detect).

We temporarily froze the military capabilities of several raiding regions as well as watching several others wither away under the pressure of paranoia, including the Brotherhood of Blood and Olympia.

A wonderful plus for us was that raider regions haven’t even bothered trying to infiltrate our intelligence ranks under the assumption that Savaer had it covered. It’s reinforced the trust in our own officials, because if we were already infiltrated then Savaer would have caught on to our trap forum. Thanks for that. :D

So I wish to conclude this press release by thanking Savaer for all the hard work he has done for the wonderful defender cause. We don’t really want that filth coming on to our forum anymore so you can have him back, not that you’d want him, and take that from some people who have actually managed to infiltrate the regions they targeted.

In future, don’t believe liars only out to inflate their own ego’s. You should laugh at them as we have.

I would like to personally thank the raider community for letting us enjoy your complete humiliation over the past six months. And just remember, you sorry bunch, if you think you’re succeeding at something in this game, you’re probably not! I can personally assure you that the FRA continues to hum along quite nicely, but we have enjoyed toying with all of your minds, and we look forward as we continue to do so!

So here's a tip of the hat to all who have been plagued by this wonderful fun. Drop by sometime, say hello, and enjoy a drink. Perhaps next time we can laugh along with you, instead of merely laughing at you.

Thanks again,

Numero Capitan, and all of the members of the fabulous FRA Intelligence network.

Also, we will be declassifying the intricate and wonderful fake intelligence section for your viewing pleasure.


This victory was achieved only through the initial work of AWP intel and agents whom I can not name (some of which are no longer with us to experience this great moment :( ).

I think that we should go onto one of the raiders forums and creat a spam topic called "Ha ha" and just put that picture with the first post describing why we are laughing. It is hilaarious

funny stuff.
"Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." ~ Robert A. Heinlein

lol I'm sure the FRA has this already saw this, funny, DEN gets so defensive.

Quote:
 
Yes, agree, attention should be focused on regions that can be attacked and if it's deep cover espionage assignments with a higher sense of risk that troopers are looking for, then implant yourself in a larger raidable region and try to subvert a number of native WA's. If possible, try to shift the managerial agenda of the region more outward. Accusing them of isolationism (sometimes without using the word) can force their attention outside of their own region, leading to them being more lofty in their inter-regional pursuits which in turn makes them more open to suggestion in their home region and, importantly, less conscientious of who is in their region, making trooper entry far easier when the raid does happen.

There's plenty of great raids that have started when a trooper likes the look of a target region, parks a puppet in there and over time, chips away and makes in-roads into the regional leadership and creates a political climate which can both create support for upcoming power changes and give immense credibility to the DEN operative doing the hard yards in the target region.

That is a far better use of a troopers time if your looking to 'mess with some heads' rather than spying on defenders.

As raiding is proactive, if raiders utilise suspense, surprise, timing and diversion, there should be no need to even know what the defenders are up to because the target region should be under our control if we have applied our advantages correctly. After this, the defenders react... but to what avail? Defenders are relevant only if raiders are disorganised or move their nations around in a way likely to attract the wrong sort of attention - it's because defenders are reactive, that knowing what they do is of little value - instead, if we perfect our raiding techniques, not only to we call the play, set the timing and shape the landscape, raids can be completed and delegacies secured long before defenders even know that there is a raid in progress.

There's only one argument that makes sense about spying on defenders and that is, to attempt to find out which defenders may themselves be masquerading as raiders in your organisation, but broadly speaking, if you're in a savvy and time served raiding org, there should be no need to worry and this tactic is really only deployed by commanders who do not have a working knowledge of who's who in their organisation.

Now, where do I get my hands on that DENbot2010? :P
