Siege of England Update and Recognition

After 14 sieges of England, we've decided in conjunction with other defender militaries to halt the effort for the time being. Those who are currently in England will remain deployed there until the raiders inevitably withdraw and the region is secured, but new sieges will not take place for now.

While this may seem unfortunate, we encourage all members to look back on the last 14 updates and consider what has been accomplished in that time. Sieging for that many updates is no small feat and is something very few organizations have the stamina, leadership, or energy to accomplish. The raid originally started with eight endorsement leads, and as of the suspension of sieges, two of them have lost all of their endorsements due to resignations or tactial mishaps which defender command was able to exploit. 

Between that, successfully flipping the WA Delegacy of England several times amongst invaders (thereby resetting the timer for them to appoint new Border Control officers), and a Security Council liberation of the region imminent, it will be extremely difficult if not fundamentally impossible for invaders to permanently damage England.

We had an incredible 52 unique participants who actively joined the siege of England at least once, an insane number of updaters rivaled by few militaries throughout the entire history of NationStates. This is a record of an update-only operation for the LDF, only outdone by Operation Majapahit's piling numbers, which was considerably easier since it did not require forces to be on at a specific time.

We would like to offer extreme thanks to everyone who participated, especially those who attended and partook multiple times, which greatly aided the efforts.

Everyone who participated at least once (listed further in this post) is awarded the LDF Honor for the Siege of England, which I've included below. I'd like to remind everyone of the LDF Profiles and Honors dispatch, where you can get added alongside all of your awards if you contact me on Discord (Cubic#1608). The Honor is pictured below, it's BB-code version can be found below as well for anyone wishing to display it.
