Sounds fun

You need to do a post Darkwolf

I know, I didn't have access to my laptop so I had to make all my posts by phone, and that's no good for longer posts unless I want my fingers to fall off

Let me just confirm things for early June or late May...

... and there we go.

The World Cup will begin the Iranian-PMC legal battle. It'll be awesome.

I also never laughed harder at a post than Evan's last IC post.

Is the map up to date?

With the exception of Russia and whats it controls yes it up to date

Meanwhile in Bandar Abbas:

Since Russia was strangely neutral, I find it safe to say the US/NAF won the war.

There's a lot of things that need fixing, the the World War here seems to have ended up being a series of theaters related only in that the occurred at the same time.

We got the War of German Aggression, the [inconclusive] War of Influence in Africa (between whoever and China), I've hinted at a possible escalation and confrontation between India and Pakistan that left India (and most likely Pakistan) a wasteland, an unnamed conflict in Central and South America that glassed Panama and the region around it and destroyed Columbia as we knew it.

The US was only really heavily relevant to the fourteen/fifteen year long "war" for the first half, after which they withdrew from it.

If I can get a reply from our Germany in PMs I'll be on course to also be introducing a War in Scandinavea between Sweden and Norway for the sake of one of my characters. But Alpha is being terribly slow and my patience is going faster than I hoped.

In retrospect I should have thought to PM him earlier, and in doing so have everything planned out well before hand. But I didn't get a clear path set until two posts in, so now I'm doing character introductions and building up shit - and as much as the world as I can - as possible. But I still need Alpha to at least give me a green-light or to enter some sort of cooperative moment of building in regards to the "western front" of the War of German Aggression at least.

I'll ask you to hold off on Scandinavian war, my Sweden sheet is 3/4ths done.

Well your stripping me of my amusing shit. Where else am I going to go where the gender roles are so damned blurred they can turn everything grey?

France?

So Boerd said
France?

With LePen's new reactionary party making waves? Probably not. And France isn't that "narrow" a nation that'll push refugees around a lot for the full fourteen years, and they actually have a capable army, all jokes aside.

And their special forces are fucking terrifying.



And besides, apart from having not concluded what I had in mind with Alpha in regards to Mainland Europe they're one of the folks that were down in Africa fighting Chinese-backed insurgencies across the the continent, given the size of the Francosphere down there.



Given the Belgians went to shit and dropped their Empire in Africa totally in the 60's (Democratic Republic of Congo) and then are occupied by Germany the DRC (now in this RP a unified Congo now they took on the former French Congo) is a larger mega-Congo.

But you know what, I'll PM you what I was thinking and we'll try to work something out. Because I sort of really want this work. What I need it for is an arc all its own and I'll need to delay my post further if I need to look into how I'm going to re-write it.

Would it be possible to throw up two apps? I have one in mind for the nation of Japan, and another for a Polish resistance movement. Considering Poland's history of violence against foreign rule, I feel like it'd be an interesting concept to play out.

5 things:
1) Evan/Dinh should write a book. I've read bestsellers with writing on par to you two's writing.
2) Whoever designed those spec-ops uniforms/equipment sets is a spawn of Satan to be that scary, or just a smart troller
3) Is there an up-to-date map, or is the one in the opening post up-to-date?
4) What country/nation has a good reputation in the field of science, isn't taken, and would be able to get funding from other large nations/countries without going way out of way to get it? Cause antimatter research would be very useful for many people; research says that if the production of antimatter went down to $10 million per milligram, then it'd be a viable replacement for nuclear fission. Plus, I suppose it'd have a great deal of uses with... creative investors adding suggestions. So a country that would basically act as a 'invest, suggest, and we make advanced stuff!' type of thing. Cause like, science.
5) hai. how ya doin?

I'm inclined to say no.

In answer to...

1) I've been at this since 2007/2008 maybe (?), though not necessarily in RP. I started writing Runescape Fan-fiction actually, and I was the type to see how others did things and how to do just as good. And after stopping that and picking up forum RP it's been a regular exercise in writing for me. So if I ever needed an excuse, and a moment to ego-brag :P.

And I don't know about Evan, he'll need to answer for himself. But he is no doubt a very good writer and one who's learned from the best (Vilage, Gorgen, and I from Precipice of War way, at least a year now with you I think. Right Evan?). He's also a natural on military stuff, and a good contact to keep there in military tradition.

There's also been... Consideration to write a novel. But I'm lazy.

2) Blame the magnificent French. Who could once literally take on seven nations. So this is very relevant to them.

3) I actually prepared an updated map, but it's been a bitch to upload. I'll try again soon.

4) You say anti-matter and alarms go off in my head. The "tank porn" warning room is going off in-particular.

I discussed it with Vilage in Steam and I mentioned in the thread that there's a very strong probability that in the days of this RP there could be a lot of questions to the growth of technology and its benefit to human civilization now. It's worth noting that with the advent of 3d printing now would no-doubt lead to massive debate - or even violence in the Revolutionary sort - against it because increased automation could actually inflated unemployment and suddenly spill entire generations out into the street in the eyes of the cautious. As well, this is a year after a presumably massive fourteen year-long war. With the effects of inflation and the world having not picked up after post-war damages I doubt there'd be anyone left to invest in any sciences outside of prosthetics and unmanned weapons, which'd be a big field.

There's a huge ethical, political, and economic debate that has the potential to exist in this RP, and not just "we need more big shiny things that do big shiny thing stuff". Speaking as the mod, I'd urge concentration on at-home issues and to maybe treat the RP as something more dystopian. I've invoked a lot of talk about entire displaced peoples because after the war ended whole brigades were just sort of "forgotten". There's still proverbial rubble in the street with such massive territorial shifts (and political changes) the whole of society should be rightfully pissed off. In the face of austerity, inflation, and having to still count all the lost young dead I doubt anyone has the time for major science: especially in a war torn Europe given that CERN would probably have been destroyed and scrapped in the war-effort, or too fought over by nations to take actually use now (as if it could of before), and that university populations probably had to leave to keep from being either drafted or bombed.

5) I be good.

Japan could work pretty well for that. If you want something like that, I'm be happy to give up my want for Japan if that's what yopu want to play.

I rather you not have it though, this was a large war, and even if you weren't involved a lot you still see some effects. WW3 would cause mass inflation and other things, so its going to have to be focused on rebuilding for a bit. It wouldn't make sense to send up a massive WMD, which is going to be expensive as hell, when you need the money for other things.

Could this WMD laser weapon in orbit not be damaged in some way? Say, a missile had been fired at it, and missed/damaged it, but not destroyed it, or maybe space debris from another destroy satellite/space station had messed up something important? That way, it'd be priority to get it up and running again, but there may be constant repairs needed after problem after problem surfaces, as well as possible space debris that would continually damage the satellite.

Just saying, I'm reading through the posts.

EDIT:
True, Japan might be good, being all Honda and everything, but it isn't much of a military place. If someone decided to invade, it's really just the police, is it not? I suppose during the war...
oh yes..
Well, if you want Japan, you take. I'll only take it if you insist.
