This thread is for those participating in the Damien assassination thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=98847) ONLY.
Alright, I've come to a crossroads, and I'm completely stumped. Normally I don't ask for opinion in my RPs, but I kinda need one. Here's the situation (ALL THIS IS OOC INFO):
Damien was shot in the face by Rayne, an AMF dignitary who is attempting to gain power in Automagfreek. As it stands now, Damien is in critical condition, swaying back and forth from this realm to the spirit realm. Basically, he's on the brink of death. NOW, here's where I'm stuck: where do I take this? I've thought up 2 possible scenarios, but these are just general guidlines.
(Here's how this is set up: First, there will be the scenario. Then, there are two main options of where the scenario could go. There are also sub options that help dictate what will happen with the main option. Get it?)
Scenario 1: Damien lives
A. Damien survives the attack and lives. After regaining his strength, he attempts to finish Rayne once and for all. Rallying the Sentinels loyal to him, he advances on the forces loyal to Rayne. (Basically, a civil war will break out, but it will not be the kind of war most of you are used to. In the first AMF civil war, the war was won by swaying public opinion and winning the hearts and minds of the people, not by marching hundreds of thousands of troops through the capital. If this scenario plays out, it will be strictly a ground war, because AMF has a very sophisticated air defense system, and several hundred thousand "Metal Storm" systems to prevent missile strikes (purchased from Walten), so basically air and missile combat is useless, because like it or not any destroyed real estate is collateral damage in the long run. So, that means no bombers, surgical missile strikes, nothing. Every runway and power plant is vital to each side, so they must be preserved so they can be captured and used. This would be an old fashioned army VS army battle, and the casualties on both sides will be massive, numbering in the millions. Everyone participating will not leave the same way they entered.)
A(2). Damein wins, and all is restored to what it once was. Wether or not Damien is still "evil" has yet to be determined.
A(3). Rayne wins, and everything is changed (wether for good or bad has yet to be determiend). Expect a radical outcome, be it good or bad.
B. Rayne flees in terror, and things go back the way they were. Damien may change abit character wise.
Scenario 2: Damien dies
A. Should Damien die, Rayne will take over control of AMF, and as stated above, things will drastically change.
A(1). Rayne changed the country from evil to satanic, becoming more psychotic and unstable than Dreadfire ever could be. The populace is brutalized, and civil rights and political freedoms plummet.
A(2). Rayne changes the country from evil to passive, decommissioning almost all the military and making AMF almost entirely a pacifist state. Civil rights and political freedoms soar, and the economy drops off.
B. Damien will eventually return from the grave (exactly HOW he does this...I have no freaking clue.)
B(1). Damien becomes slightly more evil, but due to his "death", he is more stable. The chemicals that were in his body are no more, hence is will not be the psychotic animal some say he is.
B(2). Damien changes from dictator to savior, and all is right within AMF.

Either way, this is bound to be one RP for the books. If you want to get in on it, feel free to comment. As stated before, this is the first time where I've been absolutly torn between what I want to do. Hopefully some opinion will sway me one way or another.
