For everyone that wondered about all of the spammers and Germany, here is the story.
Yesterday afternoon, a few invaders moved into Germany (a region that I think was unsuccessfully attacked within the last week as well.) It was also noticed that the Delegate & Founder (same person) were in jeopardy of ceasing to exist if they weren't on vacation mode.
Because the Founder/Delegate was going to cease to exist if he wasn't on vacation mode, action needed to be taken. A well known defender asked for help in the afternoon to secure the region and when we did send a handful of nations, the small group of invaders ran away, as they like to do. A lot of them remind me of that Monty Python sketch, "Run away! Run away!"
Anyway, without somebody's actions yesterday, Germany would now be held by invaders. I for one was not comfortable with that. As is stated in the TITO mission statement, TITO will send defense help in whatever way we think is best. TITO has no problems installing a temporary defender Delegate to take care of business before a native is put back in power.
The invaders spamming campaign on the regional message board and forum was because they were pretty angry to lose once again. When invaders have their plans spoiled they often times act like little children. There were at least six nations spamming the region yesterday. Two were deleted, but the others are still around because I cleared the messages before the mods saw them.
I hope this clears things up. The people of Germany dodged a bullet yesterday because of the awareness of other defenders and TITO.
