Ok guys were back on. @Jpp188 I don't mind if you (or anyone else really) come up with stuff for us to interact with (i.e. the two guys about to enter the South Bay Hangar-boy are they going to regret that) but give me a mention in the OOC first. That said, you guys can look forward to an inventory section (weapons & ships etc.) in the thread header in the next couple days. I'll just mention again that I'm most active during the week (Monday-Friday).
Ya, after I posted it I realized we still had another to reach the bay, It was my bad, from now on I will announce them.
@Jpp188Will the Germans be a concern latter in the story, though. Without America there's roughly fifty-fifty chance they win WW2 and come for the USA. Though with USA split up perhaps they don't bother much aside from maybe supporting one of the factions.
Sorry I didn't get back to you until now, had no internet for the weekend. But depending on the people who join, the european powers will support their faction members, which Germany will declare on Poland in September of 1939 so the countries in the states will have about 8 months to prepare before WW2 starts. Countries can stay neutral, but based on chance, Germany may decide to come into the states. And for the US, they will be staying neutral unless attacked by a faction, kinda their whole thing in this timeline.
It is not the program that is the problem, I just don't want to get rid of the borders on accident because I only have a mouse pad to use
If you want I can make the map for you, All I need to know is what color you would like and the states. If not then use the Bucket tool, that's my bad I meant to say bucket before but said paint, that should preserve the borders of the states.
Is it okay if I outline my territory? I can't exactly color iron well with a mouse pad ^~^
I used pixlr.com and used the paint tool, it made it pretty easy for me on my laptop. Just download the picture from tinypic and then upload it to pixlr
This is very unhistorical rather than ahistorical, but I'll watch it for now and see what comes of it.
This seems like an interesting concept I suppose I'll throw in an interest.
The full post is up, read up on the mechanics and go ahead and make a country if you are still interested, if you get less people then expected, then I guess we can make larger countries but I could add europe into the RP.
If you don’t want to read everything about the mechanics, (Not suggested) I will highlight all of the must need info.
The Year is 1938, Europe is on the verge of war, one of the most horrific in history. The United States remains neutral. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt has taken steps to isolate the US from the rest of europe and it’s affairs. The States don’t all agree with what FDR has done to stay out of the war. Many German Americans are outraged, so are French Americans and British Americans, the list goes on. That is where it started. Strikes start to drag the already great depressed economy even further down the rabbit hole of debt.
November 9th 1938 in Germany, Kristallnacht, the night of broken glass. Germans harass Jewish people and their belongings by assaulting and destroying their businesses. The Authorities watch on as people violently outlash. The United States Government watches on as well.
November 12th 1938 in the US, FDR issues the Watching Eye Act. This establishes a new branch in the government, the National Neutrality Administration, its goal is to maintain Neutrality between the United States and foreign nations. This angers more Americans who saw Kristallnacht as a time of need for many in europe.
December 10th 1938 in the US, A Riot breaks out in Atlanta, Georgia. The riot is caused by the lack of involvement in europe. This is one of many, riots start to spread throughout America, demanding change. FDR makes a public announcement proclaiming he is working on something to appeal to everyone. The air settles for the moment.
December 13th 1938 in the US, FDR announces his new act, the National Integrity Act. It did the exact opposite of what the people wanted. After the Supreme Court started to review the Watching Eye Act, FDR started coming up with this an act to advance his power in the government. And with the overwhelming support from congress, FDR abolishes the supreme court with the act. It also gave him direct control over the military and gave the police complete control over the civilians. FDR also shifted the NNA’s focus from neutrality to public dissent.
December 20th 1938 in the US The NNA issues a warning to FDR that one of the states has had a secret meeting with its local government officials. FDR announced later that day that any States found trying to plot against the overthrowing of the government, will be occupied by the military which FDR has built up.
January 2nd 1939 in the US 8 States (Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia) leave the union, the Soviet Union declares that the States are under their protection that any hostile attempts made by the union will be an act of war against the USSR as well. This was only the beginning. The US moved troops to California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey before any other states could leave. Over the next 3 months the 34 non occupied states followed suit. The US in shambles, FDR declares himself temporary ruler of the whole government, backed by congress.
January 5th 1939 The States organize into their own countries of:
Hey guys, welcome to my Roleplay. This Roleplay will be about the crumbling US and the states that left the union. I would like to have like 5 or six people who would play as the new countries that form from the states. You have 42 states to choose from, the amount of states per country depends on how many people want to play, split evenly by resources.
Alabama Arizona Arkansas Colorado Connecticut Florida Georgia Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Utah Vermont Virgina Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming
Resources: Each state will have three values, Industrial Production, Food Production, Wealth Production, with an added combined total. Due to wanting to keep it rather simple, I am going to make each state worth the same amount of points, But you can improve your state's differently than others.
Industrial Production- Produce military units including Ships. Food Production - The ability to produce food. You need 1 food for every 1000 troops Wealth Production - How much money you make.
Turns: Every new turn is 1 month, each turn you can make 4 actions, 1 military (moving a unit or attacking) 1 diplomatic (Sending an alliance offer, Note: RESPONDING to a diplomatic action doesn’t require one) and 1 Industrial ( Building a unit, a state improvement etc.) and 1 Misc action (If you are given the option to use it, (ONLY USED FOR SPECIAL EVENTS)). PM me your actions and I will post the months events in the IC, where you may make open statements about the months events, (No actions used) in the event of two armies attacking each other, each will be considered attackers and no defensive bonuses will be granted.
Military: Every unit is 1,000 men strong. Every state provides 2000 force limit (2 units). Each army takes 1 month to go 2 states distance. Combat: I will share my equation with you guys so you know I am not cheating or anything. Every time an army attacks another I use this. Attacker’s Equation: (Attacking army’s force size) * (Attacking army’s morale) / (Defending Army’s morale) * .5 * (Misc) = Number of defenders dead. Defenders Equation: (Defenders army force size) * (Defending army’s morale) * .5 * (Misc) = Number of attackers dead. If an army is outnumbered there is a * 1.2 modifier to the larger army. Whoever loses the most troops per month loses .2 morale. After each month each army is given the option to retreat to the capital, even during combat, until then the army cannot attack. When an army occupies a state, it takes the army 1 month of sieging (Moves to state -> Sieges -> Owns), it takes a total of 3 turns to complete.
Industrial: Every turn you have a few options for industrial. You can build an army unit (Ship, Infantry, Armor), you can build a state improvement (increasing your industrial production from 1 -> 2) which takes 2 turns to complete. Or you can use it to make 20 more money per month (producing goods)
Diplomatic: Every turn you may declare many different actions. You may offer an alliance to another country You may declare war on another country You may offer a trade agreement with another country You may join the Axis (Germany) You may join the Allies Great Britain) Note: If you join a faction, after WW2 starts, you will always be at war with the opposite faction, including other players You may form a non aggression pact with another faction And lastly you may ask for foriegn support (ex. asking the Soviet Union for troops or money) but keep in mind, you your country doesn’t have the same government type or are not in the same faction they may not help you.
Misc: I will guide you through misc actions.
Special Events: Every Month I will give 1 country a special event, these will either be positive or negative, an example would be as follows: A state has a huge refugee wave, then I would give that person the option to A. Send them to work: gain 1 Industrial Production or Sell them back to Europe: +100 welath
Please make your countries to this template, states are first come first serve, but the rules are as follows: You must have a connecting country, you may not skip around to random states. based on Interest please pick 8 states each. If not all are taken, either the US gets them or they can be divided among the players.
Country Name: Capital State: Leader Name: Government: (What type: Republic, Dictatorship etc, What kind: Socialist, Democratic etc) (Example GOV:) Presidential Republic (What the USA is today) Background:(How your country came to fruition) The best thing about your leader:(Something special) Map of owned states: (Use : tinypic.com/r/2r3v33b/9)
"Come on fella's what'll it be? You looking for a job?"
"Why yes I am looking for a job, I am Azir L'thotos. I am just your average man and nothing else," Дуака looked into the human's eyes. There was fear, no doubt, but something else stuck out in his emotions. Determination, for what ever reason, Erek, he assumed, was determined to get a crew together and complete this job. This coupled with the need of a job made Дуака come to a rather quick decision
"Im in, under one condition. When this is over, I get another offer on the next one, The name's Дуака. Дуака stated with a smile and a quick laugh. He forgot that even in his condition, a small social cue like a laugh can calm an entire group down. As for the C'lok, Azir, he seemed to look over Дуака quite carefully. Kind of like he was a walking myth. A woman who had been watching the group since he arrived, walked carefully over to them and said, "Hey, I'm here for the job."
This is quite a party, Дуака thought to himself. A noise outside caught his attention, Дуака heard the sound of sprinting footsteps coming from outside the shipyard. He looked around and saw a security camera looking at him and the group from atop a security checkpoint tower. Damn!, Дуака put his finger to his mouth and gestured for the group to be quiet, he shadowed and moved to a darker area in the yard. He pulled out his silenced pistol that was stuffed inside his cloak. He barely got the gun out in time for the two men in dark coats to walk into the room.
Name: Дуака (Pronounced Du-a-ka) Can be spelled in english: Duaka Race: Previously Human, was turned into what is now called the Тень (based on their Russian Heritage) by the Ygar.
2 Years Ago, during to first contract of Дуака The night was gloomy. All day it had been lightly raining, enough to bring down the mood. Дуака looked at the piece of paper in his hands,Markius Hawthorne, his first contract. This was as about as easy of a contract there was for his type. A Тень. The ability to transform to complete shadow, not invisible, but as close to it as you can get. As Дуака waited calmly outside of liquor store that Mark frequently visited, no doubt to erase his currently pathetic life as a mob accountant, a ruckus brewed across the street. A woman screamed,
"I HATE YOU" "Now hon- "SHUT UP AND GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU-, she broke down crying. The man was trying to console her but she kept shrugging any touch away. Дуака now was focused more on the couple then his target strolling across the street towards the store. The man was now messing with the lady's clothing, lightly lifting and brushing. She slapped out as the tears continually fell from her face. The man just laughed and commented on how the other women he had slept with were still hotter, though she was a pretty one. Дуака shadowed and moved closer to the man. He grabbed her wrist and said something in audible to Дуака.
"NO, NEVER... I WONT... YOU CHEATING BASTARD" the woman screamed "The Hell I wont- The man was cut off by Дуака yanking his arm opposite of the girl. He yelled as his shoulder dislocated, Дуака grabbed the man and lifted him up by his shirt and looked at him in the eyes. The man was obviously terrified of the being that was in front of him. Of Дуака. Дуака let out two words,
"Never Again" The man shook his head vividly in agreement and sprint off as soon as he was let down to the ground. The woman looked shocked and frightened and happy all at the same time. Дуака nodded his head towards her and turned around to watch for his... Shit Дуака thought. He saw Mark leaving the store, and he walked over toward Mr. Hawthorne, off to collect his reward.
Дуака started off as part of an outer human colony called Moskve. The Humans found a planet that was empty, but could sustain life. It intrigued them enough to send a scientific research team down to the planet. They found no trace of anything hazardous so they gave 20,000 Russian colonists a chance to make it their home. The planet was smaller than the earth, almost twice as small, but had all the natural resources to sustain a colony. After around 200 years of sustained life on the planet, The Human Empire left the colony by it self, no support, no supplies, no nothing. It is around this time that Дуака was born.
Ten years passed from the birth of Дуака and the coming of the Ygar. The Ygar had been watching their trap carefully. They had cleared the planet in hopes to capture a colony. And that's what they got. A fresh almost 10 million strong Russian ecosystem. With no outside support, the colonists had no chance against the vastly superior Ygar. They slaughtered 6 million of the inhabitants, the rest they turned into test subjects, Дуака included.
The Ygar turned the colonists into experimental foot soldiers that were suppose to be almost immortal on the battlefield. This new race was called the Тень, which means "the shadow" in Russian. The soldier's main attribute is the ability to turn to complete shadow, caused by a refined dark matter that was pumped into them. The serum was suppose to remove cognitive thinking as well, making them bend to the will of the Ygar, but it was experimental. The brain washing didn't work for most of the colonists, sparking a civil war between the colonists. During this civil war between the un-brainwashed and the Ygar with their now loyal soldiers, Дуака escaped on a damaged Ygar scout ship. Дуака, still dazed from his early release from his serum injection chamber, set out with 5 other Тень towards a radio beacon deeper in space.
Дуака, 17 at the time, reached a Human colony with the 5 others and alerted the colony of the unknown aggressors. They notified the ship that it was the Ygar and they should land immediately. No one on the ship knew of the Ygar. When they got to the surface the humans were terrified at the sight of the shadow creatures, and Дуака notified them that they were Russian colonists. They stayed low in the capital of the planet for 5 years before Дуака was given his second mercenary contract, to head to a ship captained by a man named Erek. He quickly packed and set out, hoping for a chance to avenge his people from his creators.
Дуака slipped his hood up as soon as he left the passenger ship. Wouldn't want anyone to panic he thought. It's hard, when you are a shadow freak, to live in society normally, but he wasn't normal. Especially now that he had taken this job. Who knows how long it would be, how many thing he would see and do. He noticed it in the corner of his eye. A man in a dark coat was looking at him and speaking to his watch. Дуака turned around toward the shuttle. Another man in the same style of coat was standing in the crowd, watching him. Дуака flipped back around and walked faster. He took out his data pad and typed in the address on the post, it would lead him to a shipyard housing the ship they were taking. The Sweet Anne. It reminded him of Анна back home. He hoped that this ship would be as sweet as his Anna.
Дуака reached an alleyway and turned the corner. Time to lose his tail. Дуака shadowed and watched the entrance to the dark side street. And on cue two men peaked around the corner, gave a quick swear and started sprinting down the alley, right past Дуака. As soon as they were past him a ways, he unshadowed and took out his data pad, right up this way was the shipyard. Дуака twisted his way through the alleys to avoid the cameras on the streets and eventually found the back entrance to the shipyard. The words South Bay Hangar were on the door. This would be the place. Дуака walked through the door and head someone talking. He shadowed as he slowly snuck up to watch. A man was urinating on a huge hunk of scrap metal parts."Hey! Stop doing that to the ship, treat it with respect or I will shoot you!," someone yelled. Ship? Oh, the scrap metal was the ship. So much for "Sweet". Oh well, it's a man offering him a job, hard to come by these days. He unshadowed and strolled up to the group of men standing next to the ship. The man reliving himself almost jumped off the planet when he saw Дуака.
