The mouse who roared.
The Nationstates community was left amused and surprised recently when first blood in the Gatesville/The North Pacific war was unexpectedly drawn by … the North Pacific.
Forces from the North Pacific Army entered two satellite regions controlled by Gatesville Gatesville Survivor Ejected and Gatesville Survivor, both of which were left vulnerable and undefended by the Gatesville Guard. Gatesville Survivor Ejected was quickly retaken by the resurrection of the founder, the other region was refounded and remains in NPA hands.

ou est le Guard de Gatesville?
NPA soldiers arrive in Gatesville Survivor Ejected to find the defences neglected and the Guards away on leave.
This defensive oversight was unsurprising The Gatesville guard has always been better known for its numbers than for its efficiency but their reaction to the attack has surprised everyone.
I don’t believe it!
Gates responds to the news that he has lost two regions overnight.
Gatesville as a whole was clearly stunned by the action. Gates the God visited the TNP forum to complain about the action, and sent a minion, Titus, to the TNP RMB to complain: this was only supposed to be a war of words…but you… you HIT us!

The seeming inability of Gatesville to understand the meaning of the word war (which is only one syllable, so should present no problem) has caused a great deal of amusement in TNP, and much rejoicing in many other regions, who love to see a bully taken down a peg or two.
There will doubtless be an internal inquiry in Gatesville to ask how this defeat was possible, and who should take responsibility. The North Pacific Wire is in no doubt, however, as to who is responsible for the debacle. Gates himself had earlier boasted proudly in the West Pacific forum that he would be on the front line with Gatesvilles sons and daughters repelling The North Pacific horde.
If this is an example of Gates’ leadership in the field, then the North Pacific Wire has some friendly advice for Gates: you are supposed to repel the Horde BEFORE they take your region!
