NationStates Jolt Archive

Role Play University - a region and off-site forum to help nations learn the skills needed to survive and thrive at Nation States is seeking applications for the position of Professor of Tactics.

This position was previously held by The Drum Gods.

At Role Play University all nations are working towards the same goals - to help nations play the game better. So, it doesn't matter if you are friends or enemies on the forums - we all work together to make this a better place.

This position requires an experience role-player - specifically in diverse types of conflict (individual RPs, wars of aggression, defensive conflicts, etc).

Interested parties may post here or telegram Wolfish.

Visit the region Role Play University or our off-site classroom at http://rpu.board.dk3.com/2/ to learn more.

Cheers,

Wolfish.

PS: Will all current RPU teachers please check into the teachers' lounge.

Well, for one I am interested, I have had expirience in several wars, some times as defender and most of the time as agressor. I have had expirience in Space Combat, Ground Warfare, Surface Combat, Under Sea Combat, I have studdied both Sun Tzu's Art of War, and Machiavelli's The Prince. I have also dont in depth studies of both WW1, WW2 several Medeival Wars, many Bronze Age, and Iron Age wars. I have studied Roman Warfare, Desert Storm, Veitnam, and the list goes on and on.

I have also RL taken clases at Harvard about millitary tactics and strategy, and I also have taken a college physics class.

I have been around since March, went out of existance, and then got brought back by a mod. Proof that I am a good roleplayer and deserve this position:

Final Chapter in Cultist Story (Must Read!)
The cultist guard was gunned down by on of the Elite Special Forces. His security card was taken out of his lifeless body.

"I think we found our solution," commented the soldier. He walked over and slid the card down the slit. The elevator opened. The sixteen men crowded into the fairly large elevator. One of them pressed the button labeled -10 (saying "I think this is where they are!") and the elevator desended into the depths of the bunker....

When they reached the bottom, the doors opened. The twelve soldiers and the four crew scattered in scout/protective formation while President Michael looked around the room.

There was a sudden laugh. All sixteen of them turned their heads to the center of the large, darkened room, where at the far end against the wall, barely visable through the mist (produced by mist machines; the cultist leader did this for a creepy effect on those who visited him) and sitting on a throne of bones, was the Supreme Commander. "I have been waiting for you," he said.

At the lift of a finger, the cultist leader had twenty men come from hidden side-rooms. The fifteen Nanakaland soldiers and the President started shooting all over the room. The cultists fired back. The final result was that all of the cultists and five of the soldiers (one gunner, four Elite Special Forces) died. Considering the situation, the Nanakaland soldiers acted fast and efficient (they are the best trained in the nation). That was nothing to be surprised about as these were some of the best of the Elite Speical Forces; the highest ranking and trained Nanakaland field soldiers.

The cultist leader just laughed even harder and pushed a button on his throne. The far wall flipped and the cultist leader was gone. The remaining Nanakaland men left the bunker. There, they were greated by a helicopter and its crew, that had fled from Fort Freedom.

After the helicopter was boarded, they turned around and shot a Bunker Buster Missile at the bunker. The whole structure colapsed. Then, the helicopter took off for Nanakapolis.

Aftermath
The brainwashed cultist members came to their senses and the revolt stopped. There must have been something in the bunker that was controling them. All of the higher ranking cultist leaders (who weren't brainwashed) were rounded up. The planes were stopped halfway to Feline. The assasins in the Vatican were killed.

"What happened to the cultist leader?" you may ask. The truth is that the cultist leader escaped the bunker right before it was destroyed. He was caught fleeing Nanakaland by boat. His arrest would have never happened if it wasn't for Belem, who provided the Supreme Commander's real name.

The helicopter that rescued the President and his brave soldiers would have never been there if it wasn't for UMH's attacks on AA guns.

No cultists were left on the street. They were either de-brainwashed or, if not brainwashed in the first place, arrested. Many cultists, however, were killed before the issue was resolved.

However, the story is not yet over. Nanakaland's issue may be solved (for the moment), but the overall issue is not solved (After all, the cultists were a subplot in Feline's thread. The actual thread is not over until Feline says so.).

[OOC: Nanaka Forest does not border any nation. Nanaka Forest is on the east end of the nation and is surounded on all sides, except by the west, by swamplands and wastelands. It is possible, however, for people to get lost in the borderlands and wind up in Nanaka Forest.]

I must go and pull up the Shadow War thread...

Somewhat related, I would suggest inviting
Guinness Extra Cold (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Guinness%20Extra%20Cold) as an assistant to the Evil Overlord regarding military organization and logistics.
I would also volunteer as an advisor/assistant instructor of military organization. No wars yet, but I can drag up my various threads on military organization, if requested.

If you would like I could mebbe throw a few 'classes' up on your boards, every now and then. Thing's like 'Explaining IC actions without resorting to OOC', 'Blood and Fire: Crimes Against Humanity 101', and 'Making Your RP Groovy: Advanced Led Zeppelin'

;)

TG me if you think of anything you need.

That would be up to EO. Please tg him with the offer.

OOC: If I can assist in any way, please contact me. I know my military data, tactics, and I'm a veteran roleplayer, so I think I could be a benefit to this University.

Done. (TGs to both parties)

Thank you all. I will continue to accept applications - with the goal of making a final decision by Thursday or Friday of this week.

To those that telegramed me, please know that I have those TGs and will give them equal consideration.

Not sure why you need my approval, but I think Guinness Extra Cold would be a good choice. His posts that I've read are pretty good, and he seems to have more time available than I.

I am by no means the only one with good information on the subject, and the more input- the better. The idea is to improve the general level of roleplaying knowledge and ability in the forums. Another viewpoint is always useful.

Okay - it was just that he wants to teach or work with you.

Comes home from work, cooks dinner, sits down to watch TV, opens beer, drinks beer, opens NationStates telegrams, reads:

YOU HAVE BEEN VOLUNTEERED!

Aww crap, I'm being sent back to the DRC!

Continues reading, stops packing fatigues, breaths sigh of relief

Thank you all. The successful candidates have been telegramed. Watch for more exciting progress from RPU in coming days and weeks.

Cheers,
W.
