We are familiar the political jousting, the constant scrutiny of the media, the threats of war and violence, the rise and fall of economies and the negotiations of great powers that happen behind close doors. Each day, nations would battle either through force or in the shadows for influence and interest. The political giants would challenge each other for more wealth, power and control. The balance of power would always change from country to country, region to region. In even the blink of an eye, a once powerful nation could crumble. It is not unusual to have revolutions and civil wars happen when least expected. This is the world we live in, the world we are most familiar with.

But what you didn’t know that there are groups who work in the shadows. Groups who could change the course of countries, regions continents and sometimes even the world. These groups have never been known to the general public. Only the elites and the occasional conspiracy theorist know about these groups. They hold the lives of thousands of people and are ready to sacrifice them if needs to be done. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals and ambitions. The interests of their groups are above the individual lives of their members. The masterminds, occult leaders and mad men that control these groups are cunning, malicious and deceitful. Some of the most triumphant and disastrous events in our history have been their doing. The few that knows about their existence and dares to expose them to the world usually disappear without a trace. These are the men of the shadows, the manipulators.

Welcome to the Manipulators, the roleplay about the different groups vying for power to achieve their goals. These groups bounded by conspiracy would use every trick in the book including black mail, bribery, assassinations, false allegations and threats of violence. You would take command of one of these groups. You would manage them to make sure they are efficient and always loyal. Which means this rp would have some sort of micro management. It would be similar to the video game, Evil Genius where you recruit minions and have the ability to train them into specialized fields. You will start with novice lackeys and further improve them to become brutes, infiltrators, diplomats or terrorist. Events will come up in the rp that you could take advantage of. You could make celebrity icons, multi-billionaire tycoons, important public figures and even world leaders join your cause. The end game for your group is to take control of the world and ensure that the interest and ideology of your group is fulfilled. However make one mistake and your group could be exposed to the world, ending your ambitions and hopes. Hope you guys are interested. Have a good day.

Still working on it but if there's anything specific, could you please tell me.
I'm very focused on the mechanics of the game and I may have missed some important details.

I guess more like back story. Would we control government organizations? Private Military Corporations? Organized Crime Syndicates? It sounds incredibly interesting though. A nation role play with no national boundaries.

More of a secret society like the illuminati bent on world domination actually. As for the general history of the groups, I'll let the players make those up.

Well you wont have any political assets at the start of the game. You start out small and make it to the top.
You'll start out with a small base of operations, meager equipment and some men then you work to gain finance, equipment and influence.

Is it possible to perhaps get a ns skeleton while you work on the ooc? If you still want to work on a few things before giving it out, I understand. I will be interested either way.

Sight... I knew it wasn't that easy.

Anyway, all I need from you is to give me 16 people (5 of them ex- hign ranking members of an important branch in the Soviet Union (Militsiya, GRU, PGU, KGB, VDV). Atleast three pistols (Either Makarovs or Tokarevs, but I would prefer Yargins). 36 thousand rubles (Around 1000 dollars). Last, but not least: GYM Membership cards.

If I pull it off in the right moment I will take over the Russian Federation in 4 years.

You start out with 30 people actually. Then you can have 2 "henchmen".
Henchmen can serve as advisors, especialist and mission leaders. I really took out alot from Evil Genius. xP

I think he was joking lol. This would still require quite a bit of story elements correct? I'm not as interested as much about statistics and winning as I am about creating an intriguing story.

With that said however, I plan on creating a Private Military Corporation and my men shall tear you all a new one.

I would rather trade those 14 men for two more advisors (5th one will be the leader). Since I will focus on taking over rackets than creating them (shaves off time). Then use the said power and money from those rackets to get into politics.

Since... You know, who wouldn't love to have an ex-KGB president?


Using the power as a president (Saints Row 4 right there) I would fund an Anti-Gang Unit in the Russian Police Force, whom would spare only one gang (Guess which one?), creating a gang monopoly in Russia that I would rule.

Now a multi-Milionare, I would use the money from the Rackets and the goverment owned companies (like Gazprom) to buy private Russian companies...

Result? I have three empires: Crime empire, Company empire and a Friggin't country (with tons of gas and fuel too!), that I can use to make moves overseas.

Yup. I'd like this be more of a collaborative story than an actual roleplay.
The stats are just for fun and to keep everyone level.

Exchanging manpower for specialist huh. Interesting concept. I'll allow this.
Also, it might not be such a great idea to announce your general plan to other players. xP
