Region crashing

Region Crashing

Region crashing is the process where a group of nations all move to a region with the aim of seizing the UN Delegate position. Often, after gaining control of the delegacy, any nation approaching them in endorsement count (and almost always all defenders) are ejected. (But not banned--see Griefing.) Great care must be taken with respect to Natives.

People who participate in region crashing are usually called raiders, crashers, or invaders.

Alliances

There are a number of gameplay-related alliances devoting their efforts to one side of raider-play or the other.

Among them:

• The longest lasting and largest defender group is known as the Alliance Defense Network or ADN.
• the Red Liberty Alliance (RLA, socialist defenders)
• the Allied Liberation League (ALL)
• the Ten Thousand Islands Treaty Organization (TITO)
• the Emergency Auxiliary Army (EAA)
• the Rejected Realms Army (RRA)
• the Global Liberation Army (GLA)

Invading, or "region crashing," was first made prominent by a group of players calling themselves the Farkers, who all arrived due to the game being linked on the website Fark.com. Later groups such as the Atlantic Alliance and the World Pudding Alliance took up the hobby.

Also, the growth of defender organizations such as the ADN has lead to rivalries between them and other groups. One such group was the New Pacific Order, or NPO. The NPO has recently reconstituted its government into the People's Republic of the Pacific, and has promised to implement democratic reforms. Other groups are mostly alliances of invaders. Some invaders include DEN II (formerly DEN), the SAOP, and the Rebel States of Heleth.

Warzones

Warzones are a set of special regions, set up with their own rules and Griefing criteria, for the expressly permitted purpose of Region Crashing.
