Hey TSP!
October was a relatively quiet month for the South Pacific Special Forces-though we had one of the largest liberations in NationStates history.
Monthly Statistics

Notable Operations
Though Defenses and Detags were up big from September, they were still below the monthly average. However, we had several liberations this month, including one of the largest liberations ever. Between two updates, 20 SPSFers showed up to defend Far East Oriental Federation from invaders.
The update after, 11 SPSFers liberated Bozarkia from spiders (you can read more about Far East Oriental Federation and Bozarkia here). We also liberated the region Nevoeiro from ethically questionable wolves, and detagged through some very slow-updates while @ConcreteSlab sang (more on that here.
We also had some promotions in October, with @Of_the_Ages being promoted to Soldier and @Banexet being promoted to Officer! Congrats to them on their promotions!
New SPSF Members

Congrats to @Shibuya-Kanon for once again taking the lead in most updates attended and detags, though it was the first month without them sweeping the leaderboards for a while. I also want to shout out Concrete Slab for taking third in most updates attended and detags and @Pronoun for having the third most defenses!
