Twilight Struggle: A Cold Affair

[Chairman Stein]

“The survivors of a nuclear war would envy the dead.”
- Nikita Khrushchev

Welcome to Twilight Struggle: A Cold Affair! In this Semi-Advanced Roleplay you, the player, will be taking the reigns of a nation during the turbulent years of the 1970s. Ten years prior the Berlin Wall rose and further divided the world into the East and the West, now unrest in Eastern Europe and the turmoil in Vietnam brings the world's new alliances of The Warsaw Pact and NATO into conflict over the continued spread of 'The Red Menace'. Will you be able to keep world peace, or under your reign will your nation face the darkness of a third Great War... Welcome, to the Twilight Struggle.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Twilight Struggle is in early development. I have yet to properly plan out how exactly nations will do combat, or how 'casual' this Roleplay will be. That is why this Interest Check is coming up. Firstly, I'd like to see who'd be interested in a espionage ridden game of cat and mouse. Secondly, I'd like your input as to how Twilight Struggle can become the next major NRP to grace the board. Once we have achieved these basic goals, I will be writting up a main thread, getting application formats out, and allowing players to decide which nations they will play. So, if you are interested, pop a comment below and show some love for our inevitable decline into the nuclear apocalypse!

I will support you 100%! I'm willing to help with anything you may need, as long as it is within the boundaries of my abilities!

Edit: I might play Saudi Arabia, if not then some country in the levant.

[Ozymandias]

I'd be interested in this. Haven't been in an NRP for a long time.

[Chairman Stein]

Glad to see both of you in the fold!

Also completely unabashed bump.

Funny, I just started a cold-war era spy rp a couple days ago!

I might not have time to join this but if I wanted to jump in later would you allow it?

@BelatedGamer

Yea no problem! I mean, the nation would have to still exist IC depending on how late you plan on joining though.

[thorgili]

I may be interested if its anything like WIR

[Byrd Man]

Sure.

I may be interested if its anything like WIR

@thorgili

It's going to be far more casual than WiR however I will still be aiming for decent sized IC posts and player interaction in diplomacy and war. I may also add war orders for convenience. In addition, this RP won't have 'simple algebra'.

@Chairman Stein Will Soviet Union and USA be open to play? Also, how exactly will the espionage work? Sounds interesting. I may have time.

Also, I noticed that last comment. Granted, if not for this post, most people would not know that was referring to my movement calculations. Still, it was optional. I am slightly disappointed that you would use that, but I will join regardless and allow ourselves to put our stat tastes behind us.

@UltikanaRe

All nations that existed in 1970 will be open to play. However, I may reserve some positions depending on the player-situation and if I have to bring in 'outside forces' I.E the Skype group I'm working with, proving I am a nepotist a-hole.

[Vanguardian]

Would Playing as Taiwan, South Vietnam, South Korea, or West Germany be ok?

@Vanguardian

Most likely. However like I said, I am not sure what will be reserved or not yet. However most major nations will be open to everyone including the U.S and U.S.S.R.

[Pepschep]

I'd be interested in the US. However, if Byrd insists on having it, I'll take Portugal.

PROVIDED YER NOT GONNA CARNATION ME

@Dutchbag

Oh... I didn't know you still actually used RPG... Well this is awkward.

[Pepschep]

From time to time.

[UltikanaRe]

I would b interested in Soviet union.

[Chairman Stein]

I will begin getting an OOC up for this shin-dig shortly. I am also debating making some sort of chatzy or something of the sort for an IC United Nations or just pure diplomatic conversations. Of course the main place for such actions will be in the I.C and through PMs.

Edit: The OOC is now up and can be found here: http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/80342-twilight-struggle-a-cold-affair/ooc
