Hello everyone!
This is going to be the first report I’ve ever written, and I’m very excited to present you what the SPSF has bene up to during my first month as Minister of Defense.
This first section is going to be dedicated to the Tsunami Force.
…I’m not good at all at presenting things and making long speeches, so let’s just jump into the statistics!
Monthly Statisics
| Statistic | This Month | Trend | Monthly Change | Percentage Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Updaters | 17 | = | +0 | 0% |
| Updates | 55 | ▲ | +1 | +1.85% |
| Defenses | 124 | ▼ | -117 | -48.55% |
| Detags | 662 | ▲ | +69 | +11.64% |
Notable Operations
Looking at the statistics, this month has been even slower than July, with “only” 124 defenses during August. There were a good amount of liberations to be done though: in the first half of August we had 6 liberations (even though all of them haven’t posed any major problem to us). After this period we’ve had around 10 days of a complete lack of chasing, leaving defenders with only detags to do. I guess raiders also go on vacation :p. Approaching the end of the month we’ve seen a return of both tagging and occupation raids and consequent chasing and 3 more liberations.
Looking more specifically at liberations, this month we’ve had a total of 9 small-sized liberations and no big liberations to do. The SPSF managed to be the most/one of the most contributing orgs for almost all these liberations, having the most updaters out of any org in 2 of them (with 5 and 7 members updating respectively).
New SPSF Members
This August the SPSF has seen 5 new recruits in its ranks: please give a warm welcome to @Oseao, @enzbrvvr, @TheRepofLusadao and @Vernonia in our military force! Also we would like to welcome in the SPSF back @Roavin, who decided to join back after a long absence!

Tidal Force Recap
That’s right! After some months of “inactivity” due to the “Realm of The Whispering Winds” support, the Tidal Force is back operating! Apart from ordinary detags, this August the Tidal Force has supported The League for a delegate transition, Empire of Australia for influence matters needed for a Stronghold transition and now is supporting A Taco Paradise to prevent any raid tentatives from The Black Hawks during the repeals of their condemnations for retailation (if you’re wondering why would The Black Hawk seek revenge for the repeal of a condemnation, it’s because raiders see condemnations like we defenders see commendations: those are badges of honour, and we don’t believe The Black Hawks, despite being a raider organization, deserves it).
We’ve also introduced the new Tidal Force Ranks based on the historical participation in this organization! These for now are experimental, but in the next months we will work on them in more detail and stabilize them. For now, these are:
25 missions - Midshipman
50 missions - Mate
100 missions - Frigate Captain
200 missions - Commodore
400 missions - Rear Admiral.
As previously announced, this month the Ministry of Defense is introducing the…

Conclusion
Well, that’s it for this month’s recap, thanks for sticking in with me and I hope you’ve enjoyed the read. I’d say this month has been pretty much a stable month, with nothing of particularly big importance coming up in defenderdom.
If you aren’t a member but you are interested in becoming one, then you can always apply here: you just need to check the “I want to join the SPSF” box and file in all the information we request.
That’s all for this month, see ya for the next recap!
