Since I can not resond to the article by Military Worldnews "The Incompetent Army"
I'll give my side of the story here.
I wanted to send a puppet in to watch up close in LUE.
I decided to ask politely after logging on to check some of my normal puppets. On the Bunny and Eagle Land Message Board there was a plea for help from NationStates Kane promising the password if we agreed to help.
I logged onto Qeranal and sent a message using poor grammer and spelling, describing the plea for help and asking what was needed. I then waited an hour, went to lunch and two hours later asked from an obvious puppet of mine if I could enter the region to observe close up.
CnC had responded to Qeranal promptly every time because I was "trying to help him" (at the time I was in fact trying to impact the situation as little as possible) , but completed ignored The Long Arm of Qaa, even though I promised that if he let it in, I would not try to influence the course of events in LUE. Needless to say I was a bit offended by his attitude and told Spoffin "If you'd like to plan an invasion I have the password."
Meanwhile the current wave of invaders was quite lax. One invader asked me what my affiliation was, and I babbled hurriedly about how I was trying to help, but couldn't, but I was staying anywhen. Then I got a new regional password and a request to get help if I could. Then a response to the initial challenge. 'K then, I could carry on.
I got a telegram from Spoffin on TLAoQ teling me despairingly that the pw had been changed. I told him that I had the new one. Then it was changed again and sure enough I had recieved this one as well. I changed the password to Qeranal, gave it to Spof along with instuctions on my phoney writing style, and then got stuck in my Lazarus puppet. I had dinner, came back up, and Spoffin had asked me if I was willing to give up my delegacy.
. . . Meanwhile back at the ranch. . . Tactical Grace had been contacting nations from all over in preparations for an invasion. I can't be quite sure what he was doing exactly, but Spof says that he organized most of the force. . .
At any rate, my first reation was "Are you nuts!?! most of te neations in my region are inacative and I'll never get my delegacy back."
My second reaction was "The proposal list is two dozen pages of redundant idiocy, and I'm getting about as many related TMs. If I go into Lue I may never get my delegacy back! ;D"
I TMed Spoffin, and spent the night in LUE.
To be continued. . .
PS If any of the other crashers would like to share their story, I'd appreciate it, but assk Spoffin's permission first please.
