Marathon Battle at The Woofer

AN repulses attack - Herald reporter wounded

by Omega Groshomme, war correspondent

The Alliance Navy was attacked on Wednsday morning 1:00am SLT by members of several opposing factions. Members of Titan industries rolled into "The Woofer", the Alliance Navy sim, using small arms fire and phantom rounds engaging in a small fire fight from the NW side of the sim. Attempts to advance toward the AN HQ were quickly withdrawn as members of the AN held back opposition with heavy machine gun fire and Talon aircraft. Attacks carried on to 1:35 SLT when another attack was reported by security forces at "tethys", the AN sub HQ.

Members of SOCOM advanced over the draw bridge into a security post where they were met with mild resistance for a short time. After a quick briefing AN Cadets were sent in to clear out hostile forces and to secure the HQ, at which they were quickly engaged by SOCOM forces using high powered rifles and sniper fire. AN troops made haste pushing SOCOM back over the bridge to the front gate where snipers were taking up positions to fire into the AN base. The snipers were later killed by AN marines sent to hold the bridge.

The engagement at "the woofer" however carried on passed 2:20am SLT when Titan forces withdrew and SL commandos, as well SOCOM continued their attempted assault. AN troops dug in,deploying light machine guns and automatic rifles holding back the attack, when this writer (Omega Groshomme) was hit by enemy fire after identifying myself as a reporter when trying to move in for a closer photo. AN cadets fired, neutralizing the hostile forces and pulling me to safety.

While getting medical treatment from 2 rounds; 1 to my arm, 1 to my torso, I tried to carry on snapping pictures of the fight when a sniper round clips my camera leaving only 1 photo left to salvage - that of a AN Marine fighting on to hold back his enemy. The amount of gunfire slowly died down at 3:10am SLT, but sporadic shots, as well sniper fire still continued until 3:40am SLT when are hostile forces were neutralized by officers of the AN using Talon aircraft. strafing the hillside with cannon fire and light bombs.

AN forces held their ground today against a determined enemy, proving their abilities to negotiate tactics as well saving the life of a reporter. Low casualties were reported for the AN, but none were able to be interviewed until the mess is cleaned up and proper intel is received. I am making a full recovery and will be back on the battlefield in no time to let the public know of AN's progress in the on going war.

I am bored reading this war shit all the time!! Dont you have anything esle to write about. Who`s paying you to whire this crap...

[Bruno Ziskey]

*sighs* Natasha, it's something different to read, and its fun. Nice work guys at defending your base. So much for a corporate takeover by Titan.....

[Kristian kit]

this is bullshit. If the heralds going to report about every small assault on the woofer i stop reading the herald. We get attacked several time a day. This is nothing new and i start wondering if this isn't all about publicity for the AN

[Luca Vasilopita]

War makes for good news. It's a shame the attitude of the Merczateers TF personnel isn't as good as it could be, maybe they could get a corrospondent aswell.

[Rob Arten]

Odd that, Kristian. We get attacked several times a day too. The reason I expect this was reported is that it was such a catastrophic faliure on the part of Titan Industries and their buddies. Oh, and Mr Groshomme was just visiting (unarmed, I might add), with no intention of writing an article, when he was viciously spawn-killed by the enemy forces. I can see why it didn't go down too well.

And Natasha, is anyone making you read this 'shit'? Kinda reminds me of Inuyasha Deere, who (despite claiming that he was not interested in the slightest) contuned to post raving comments on Mr Groshomme's previous article.

No one is putting a gun to your head making you read this....its something new,hense why i do it. As for publicity for the AN...um no,i offered the Mercz numerous times to cover their side as well,but they declined.Not my problem...if you dont like it,dont read it.

[harlequin salome]

Well, Kit... if your allies didn't shoot reporters, maybe you'd get better press and more attention.
Just a thought.

[Kristian Kit]

i'm not complaining about the fact that this article is about the AN istead of Mercz. If you wrote the same article for mercz it would still be bullshit. Second life got millions of inhabitants and you report about something that happens every day.The reason that titan attacked you has more to do with the fact that it is founded by ex-NOI instead that it are mercz allies i think.

[Omega Groshomme]

Only reason i reported an attack was because of its length. Over three hours i think is pretty good for an organised SL fight,so hense it is on the herald. Get over it.

[Phantom]

omega don't worry about it, only idiots say they are getting sick of reading about something. they are not forced to read it, and it's not at all insulting like some other articles I've seen by other reporters have been like.

look at all the non war articles and look at the comments posted, now look at any of the war articles, there are normally a lot more active then non-combat ones.

so why does the SLH keep posting articles on war issues? it's the people trying to bad mouth each other, it causes drama people eat up and brings more traffic to this web site.

so if you don't want to read as much SL combat, don't read them and don't post unless you are a hypocrite of course, either way I find that the combat articles the only thing worth reading on the SLH

[Tavasha_Martynov]

I thought it was a fun read ^_^

[Ruin Nefarious]

Nice propoganda. Reporters shouldn't be armed and sporting Alliance Navy armor. There were about two of the four folks there whom worked for Titan, none of which whom were wearing Titan tags at the time. The "raiding" party secured the field quite nicely before the simulator crashed, at which time they opted not to return-- as it is strategically poor to walk into a prepared situation with a small number.

SOCOM, sadly, were only hindering the whole thing with their flying around and firing indiscriminately. They had nothing to do with the others, and happened to be there at the same time.

With all due respects, well written for its purpose. Otherwise, entirely bias.

[Omega Groshomme]

I was wearing a suit and tie you twat.As for your fight,you didnt make it past the first hillset,I was there the whole time.As for propaganda...please this isnt WW2,i would be doing the same for the Merczateers if they would have accepted my offer. AN was nice enough to let me cover their side even after my history of attacking them on a daily basis.

[Pauleh Kamachi]

I do enjoy reading the articles and I like and respect everyone at AN, though I must admit it does get a little boring that the only times I see anything reported like this, its when its happening to AN and its always on ANs side and it undermines everyone else who goes against AN.

But thats just my feelings on it, either way the report was well done.

[Inuyasha Deere]

This article be good quality? Ish don't tink so.

[Inuyasha Deere]

By the way- I was joking, I support the Herald's cover of SL ,arital issues completely.

Again, CN is open for interview or review of operations any time. Heck, you can make "documentaries" of our day to day process.

[Kristian kit]

i have to apologize for one thing. I do like the war articles on the herald and there well written but i didn't knew someone declined your offer.So i was like " again an article about AN". I didn't want to blame the reporter or something. I just thought. Now are they reporting about little AN affairs, this starts to look like propoganda. sorry i was wrong at that point. I stil think there is greater news in Second life

[Bruno Ziskey]

*chuckles* Inuyasha, your attempts at having an SL herald reporter interview your group couldn't be more obvious if you posted HEY I AM HERE INTERVIEW ME I WANT TO DESTROY THE AN! Honestly, the Herald already interviewed Sparta but never posted an article on us, and you don't hear me complaining. Know why? I am not an attention-seeker. If they want to do an article on us, fine. If not, that's fine too. *shrugs*

[Pauleh Kamachi]

Want to get a article done on yourself just kidnap the reporter \o/

Oh yay... More crap articles about kiddies doing things.

[Sol Cult]

Ooo... sounds like Ruin hit a nerve... kekeke.

[Joseph Spearmann]

Wow, I love your typical way of covering up your obvious failures. No matter how many times you guys are squashed in your attempts of attacks or defense, you still come back with the same look of "we won". "Titan Industries" did not attack you, so get that out of your little heads right now. I acted alone in the fight. Under the tag of the Ordo, just because I felt like it. I was not acting as "Titan". And, as far as your claims of "Attempts to advance toward the AN HQ were quickly withdrawn as members of the AN held back opposition with heavy machine gun fire and Talon aircraft." Your people were cowering inside of your base as I pelted the ground with gun fire from my Mamba Raptor, one of the Ordo's more famous pieces of work. I'll admit, I got taken out twice bye a Talon. But, I quickly returned to continue the fight. After the continued fight, the sim went under to much stress and ended up crashing, so I did not return afterwards as I did not feel the need to continue any more. Oh, and as for using phantom rounds, if you're gonna spread slander, make sure it's truth instead of total lies.

Viva la truth!

[Ruin Nefarious]

Name calling isn't nice! Not very professional of you. :(

If that's so, Omega, then ask Charolette why I was standing on the flight line shooting her as she tried to spawn her Talon.

[Inuyasha Deere]

Let me make something straight. CN is NOT, I repeat NOT Anti- AN. We are anti-SLSN because of their rediculous responses to our peace discussion offers. AN happens to be an ally of SLSN, so that is the reason behind LA forces opening fire at AN on the LA/CN/Fed base. CN does and will not recognize AN as a military, mafia, gang, or police force until they sign and comply to the MOSCOW treaty.

[Omega Groshomme]

We can all sit here and claim I shot this person,they shot this person,we won they won and either side could be lying. So with that said,i reported what I saw...you dont haev to read it.

[Inuyasha Deere]

Fine, I've had it with the AN. I hereby surrender to the AN, SLSN and the rogue state of Sparta. Please do not attack us again, you have won. We will not sign your STABLE, but the CN will not attack you anymore or being threats to you, as we are surrendering.

Kindest Regards,

[Phantom]

Inuyasha

I really don't see anyone pushing you into that surrender, it's kind of random. but then again everything you've been saying has sounded very random. The question is how long will that surrender last?

[Inuyasha Deere]

Forever, the AN have beaten the CN too much, and the Mercz won't help us, they fucked us over, so I have nothing left. CN surrenders.

Kindest Regards,
Inuyasha Deere

[Joseph Spearman]

Wow, if you reported what you saw, I'd sure as hell like to know what sort of goggles you're looking through. Cause either they're tripping you out or blinding you. The News is meant to tell people of what really happened, not shadowed lies and misdirection. What sort of reporter are you? Oh ya, one that's on the AN bank role.

[Inuyasha Deere]

Ok, let's make somehing clear. THOSE TWO STATEMENTS UNDER "KINDEST REGARDS" were plagarim. I would like to find whoever do this, but frankly I am reminded... I don't care. If you plagarise, you are truly a loser.

We never surrender- ROK may live on.

[Ruin Nefarious]

Yeah, I thought so, Inuyasha.

[Hazim Gazov]

How can you win if you're such a failure?

[Inuyasha Deere]

And Cao, I know it is you. Go pick up a Merriam-Webster while you are at it. Me trashing or saying Mercz failed to do anything good for me? They provided us support when AN came, and them even concidering to support a group which continually harrassed them in the past is EXTREMELY conciderate, and I thank all of Mercz for that.

Secondly, that isn't my type of writing above. If you want proof this is me this is all you need.

I wuv u Kaggy.

[Inuyasha Deere]

By the way, I do not have the email adress "f***[email protected]". Instead it is, "[email protected]". Do not continue this ruthless and immature behavior- it only worsens your reputation.

[Hazim Gazov]

Yeah, that's santa's e-mail man, don't hate on the jolly red man.

BTW, that wasn't plagiarism ;-)

[Hazim Gazov]

BTW, that wasn't plagiarism ;-)

[Hazim Gazov]

DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS!

[Hazim Gazov]

By the way, I do not have the email adress "f***[email protected]". Instead it is, "[email protected]". Do not continue this ruthless and immature behavior- it only worsens your reputation.

[Inuyasha Deere]

I swear. Stop using my name and quotes. Seriously, back down on the libel, it will hurt you in the real world at some time if you keep up this nonsense.

[Phantom]

wouldn't surprise me that who ever is doing that is from a 3rd party. doesn't sound like AN doing and neither mercz. but right up the line of people that like the bug the piss out of them.

[Phantom]

to make it clear if some one wants to say something against that idea, it wouldn't help the AN at all and the AN members that do post here aren't the type to do that, they tend to insult you up front.

[harlequin salome]

Shit, we have a bankroll? God damn...
Admiral Mahfouz, remind me to find out who our paymaster is!

[Phantom]

I wouldn't mind being paid to be basis. ok any one want to buy my opinions it's going to be 100k L$, Phantom Noel

and I'm joking so don't waste your money if you send any I will keep it and laugh at you

[Helios Benelli]

To the people critisizing the reporter.
If you don't like the stories don't read them. If you think they are biased then report your own version, if you can't do that then shut the hell up. Cause the only decent articles worth reading on herald are the articles on wars.
Weldone Omega I liked this article =)
(Maybe you could report abit more on other army group activities in the future?)

[Phantom]

I do agree AN has had the spot light a little to long and they need to do an article on another combat group. I know Inu wants one so badly it's funny.

[Inuyasha Deere]

Phantom, while I am not agreeing with your Anti-Merczateers statements; I must admit you are completely correct.

[Inuyasha Deere]

Alright this is getting ridiculous, I am Inuyasha Deere and I lead the CN. An article on us would be great, but the Grand Federation just attacked us again. We surrendered to the AN, so I don't think that was nice to attack us, feds. Would whoever is impersonating me and saying that CN has not surrendered, stop it. CN has surrendered, that's it, now juts stop attacking us, we're through with fighting for now. You win. But I will return some day.

Kindest Regards,
Inuyasha Deere
