Count me in to man

You're not going to do what happened last time, right?

You're not going to do what happened last time, right?

of course not. Last time, the server got in the way. And this new server has actually treated me with some respect ;)

okay.

Server permitting I'm up for this again.

Is this your End-Of-The-World-Due-To-Mass-Invasion-By-Aliens thing (again)?
If so sign me up.

Is this your End-Of-The-World-Due-To-Mass-Invasion-By-Aliens thing (again)?
If so sign me up.


Indeed it is. But this time, it's a temporal war

How could I miss it, the demon's nemesis, the race they want to eliminate and revenge themselves upon.

*gets out Timesplitters 2 and fires up the Gamecube*

ok...still looking for more members.....

I'll give you my time. I hope, I'll be going on vacation on the 30th for 10 days.
Oh and could Five Civilized Nations please EDIT YOUR FRIGGIN SIGNATIURE, IT'S GIVING ME A HEADACHE TO LOOK AT IT!!!!!!!

If there are demons involved, I'm interested.

If there are demons involved, I'm interested.

We call them demons. They're a race of beings with no higher purpose then to destroy all life.

Do you have a space fleet?

i think my nation would enjoy such a thread, count me in please. I am a pretty new around here been here a year now, i got some war threads going on now if ya want to see some of my style.

Anyone else? Comeon....I know there are more of you veterens....LRR.... ;)

We call them demons. They're a race of beings with no higher purpose then to destroy all life.

Do you have a space fleet?

Ah, I'm actually a deamon nation. I have means of travelling to places even if it be off the planet or in another dimension, but a space fleet is not something within my grasp. You won't find any tech from me...

Last time we had about 17 or more sign up.

sadly the fourms seem...different then their former selves who knows

I'd consider joining, but I would like more information. I am unaware of the previous Demon war. I'd like some information as to the general flow of the RP, etc.

Sure, count me in, but I have no knowledge of the last RP, if it's necessary to have any.

I'd consider joining, but I would like more information. I am unaware of the previous Demon war. I'd like some information as to the general flow of the RP, etc.

Several thousend years ago, the Zoir imprisioned an invading Demon fleet in a pocket dimention. They escaped back in August/September last year. We faought them in a big, glalactic war. They have ships made of frozen photons, so light based weapons (trek phasers) don't work.

This time, the Demon homeworld has lunched a plan to change the timline.

sorry, you kinda have to be a space nation

I want to sign up for this. I haven't been in the first one but I have a space fleet, which does not solely rely on energy weapons such as lasers.

DONE!

Do beam weaponry, work? If not, I'll have to do a lot of refits on my warships...

Do beam weaponry, work? If not, I'll have to do a lot of refits on my warships...

depends. Is it a Laser or a Phaser? If not, then your fine

(Note; my Orcalic Phaser works, becuse it is not really a Phaser. It is an Orcalic weapon)

Just so the others involved here know my nation is based off mostly Honor Harrington tech base, although we are now integrating other tech too. Our energy weapons are Grasers and some laser though they are much more Kinetic then STlike phasers.

my weaponry is primarily energy, though not light. Light plays a part, so it may technically classify as a laser, but it is not. It is more of a pure energy weapon. At least, my primaries are. Will these work?

My main weapons tend to be plasma beams and railguns.

Okay, you can be counting me in for this. :P

Plasma based energy weapons are effective aren't they?

depends. Is it a Laser or a Phaser? If not, then your fine

(Note; my Orcalic Phaser works, becuse it is not really a Phaser. It is an Orcalic weapon)

Well, its based on the beam weaponry in the Gundam series...

To be on the safe side, I'll stick with projectile weapons :p

Well, its based on the beam weaponry in the Gundam series...

never seen it :p

I'll join in if I can, I am a space nation, (Or at least I think I am) I have 4 good sized battlecruisers, and one carrier. My main weaps are beam weaps, but I also carry Projectile weaps, each of my fighters carries a gatling gun like devise, and 2 beam weaps on each wing. My Battlecruisers need a refit, any idea on what kinda engine I should use?

any idea on what kinda engine I should use?

dousn't really matter. I use Jumpnodes, other people might be using warp or Hyperspace. Still others have no FTL.


Ug...your fleet is a little big for your size...but as long as that means you don't have that big of land forces....I'll accept you

I don't use warp or hyperspace, as when that happins, time around your ship ages a few years, its like going forward in time. And with varied transport devises, the fleet could be waiting for 1000 years for the other half to get there, I think I'll be using my method of folding space-time and traveling through it.

Oh, I forgot, Ilive on the moon, so my land forces are mainly police, and a few National guards, my specialty is orbital bombardment.

alright, I can accept that. Welcome to the war.


To all members of this RP: This should start in about a month, after I've wrapped up all my current RP's, and rebuilt mt fleet. It should also give you time to refit your ships are you see neccasary

I would also like to offer a large area of our land as a staging ground, we only have uranium fuel tanks under the landing field, but will sell the fuel at 500 million dollars per 100 tons, extremely cheap, but we have a good sorce of it (Classified) As our ships use Ram Scoops to collect fuel sorces, we have little need of it. The area has been lit up, and cleared of any debris should anyone wish to land any ships for now.

Okay, a couple questions:
This can take place with a group existing in the present?
There'll be time travel, or just universe hopping, or a bit of both?
Will there be plenty of ground combat?
Will it have a Ringo-Like body count?
(Whoever recognizes the bodycount term gets a cookie)
And most importantly:

Whats for dinner?!!!

If you can answer yes to four of these five, Count me, the Order and my Kestrels in. This could build the thrilling conclusion to the story of Kaerion's Kestrels......

i think this may have a group in the present,
I think a little of both
I believe so, but Im just a bombarder, I dont land my marine contingent
I guess so, not sure what you mean
Dinner will be whatever your chefs make.

Im not in charge of this, the full answers will come from Atlantian Outcasts

never seen it :p

Then can I assume that they work?

1. Um....this is the present, so yes
2. I said it would be Time Travle. This will involve alternete timelines
3. probably not full scale war on land, but between indivudal units, yes
4. I'm guessing that's alot, so yes.

Then can I assume that they work?


Well then, are they LIGHT BASED WEAPONRY?

I don't think they are... But I'm not sure...

Well then, count me in......I'm based in the -Present-present, as in, Normal Non Space NS...however, I utilize future tech, through an issue I'll discuss in the storyline...

Powered armor, Plasma Cannons, lasers....We can do that!

bump <This thread got lost>

Bump <I cristen thee the lost thread>

Powered armor? I've got lots and lots of that. :)

And 5CN, I seem to remember Gundam beam weapons functioning exactly like lasers, IIRC. It might be a particle beam, but I'm not sure. If there's a cutaway pic of one of the gundam beamcannons, then that would assist in a final determination.

I saw somewhere on the net how gundam beam weapons from the first serries operated. I'll ty and find the site. But if this was the beam saber I could easily handel that explination

Would it be possible to rp both modern and futuretech, as in a nation that existed in moderntech, then gained future technologies later on? :mp5: :gundge:

Thank you!

That description rapes physics, but it looks like they'll work on our demons here.

lol... Yeah it does...

Well, considering it was created by some Doctor Minovsky in the future, who cares?

who says NS has to be 100% realistic anyway.

Hmm, would it still be possible to get involved?

Or are y'all full?

Exactly. *Hides plans for a galaxy destroying gerbil*

Exactly. *Hides plans for a galaxy destroying gerbil*

*Plans 'galaxy destroying gerbil' eating cat* :D

you never answered my question: can I be both futuretech and modern tech? I could use a puppet if you want.
*hides plan for Staypufft Marshmellow Man to attack New York*

Well, 5CN is modern, near-future, post-modern, and future-tech... NationStates nations don't really care, but you have to provide stats on everything you have...

dousn't matter, as long as you have a space fleet.

*hides plans for LaZ0r Pinguin army*

of course I do, it's very nice.
Al-Imvadjah Spacefleet (http://s3.invisionfree.com/Bellum_Solaris/index.php?showtopic=43)

one of my three shipyards was recently destroyed by a Kilmangian terrorist group, they blew up a large fuel cell, and destroyed three of five anti fighter cruisers I had been constructing. However, my carrier is now fully stocked with fighters and Transports.

A month's good. That gives me time to calculate how many fleets I have now (assuming constant-ish ship production as the nation and therefore military increases in size)...
*is glad he has an entire 3 billion nation devoted to his spacefleet :D *

I've got a question. Is there going to be a groundwarfare component? I'm much better at that than my fleet. :P

Central Facehuggeria, if your fleet is outdated, I would be honored to transport your troops abord one of my ships.

Also, I have outfitted two cruisers to act as tankers, if we need them.

OOC: So, is it too late to sign up? *hides plans to punch hole in atmosphere with "laser" and then hold the world for... wait... no*

Okay, I am a newbi to this, started my nation this past Monday. What is all this about? It sounds fun but I am clueless (like always). I would really like to have more info about what this is all about and how you do all this war stuff. Is there a post someplace that explains it all? Like how to figure out what my nation can support for an army and how to figure out stats for it?

:confused:

I guess the Dictatorship of Slimestoria is willing to join.

Like how to figure out what my nation can support for an army and how to figure out stats for it?

:confused:
OOC: Well, non-roleplay comments for in OOC. Like this stuff. Your army is generally 3 percent of your population, 5 with consription. If you have a war-minded, highly economical nation, you can spend more on the military. If you have an alliance with someone, which you RP, you can usually get things from them for cheaper. The older you get, the higher pop you get, the more technology you have, etc. It's best to say what technology you have on the board when you make it. You can also sell it to other nations.

Thanks for the info. How do you 'sell' or 'buy' stuff from other nations? Is it you just post it and it is okay? Is it based on the economy report? What kind of equipment can you have? Anything you want if you are a nation based off weapon development? How is the 'war' actually fought? Is it all just posts and you just keep count of what you lost? How do you figure out what is lost?
(like I said before I am a clueless soul over here)
:confused:

Oh ... do you allow magic and steam punk tech or is it hard core sci-fi only? Just trying to come up with a theme for my army (was kind of think of the mini game Warmachine style for ground troops).

(like I said before I am a clueless soul over here)
:confused:

OOC: Yes, buying and selling is based on your economy report, but yes, it is posted on the forum, on your own storefront thread. There are calulators that tell you your nation (IRL daily) budget. Look them up on the internet. You're equiptment is mostly limited to what you buy and what you develop and make. War is just a thread and it's posted, and if you give up, are crippled, etc., you lose the war. In war, you MAY lose your nation. Also, when you post, you describe the attack, what your attacking, and maybe your losses if you were attacked the post before, NOT YOUR OPPONENT'S LOSSES. You can usually judge by how a thread is going what kind of RP it is, if not it's title. You should read some of the stickied threads on International Incidents.

again thanks for the info ... okay ... so if wars only happen on the posts ... then how can you loss your nation? I thought that wars had nothing to do with the actual NationStates sight. Also what are the stats that you need come up with for your army? Is there a demo sheet that I can use to start thinking about this?
:confused:

It's easy to find out the amount of troops you have. Just take your pop, divide it by 100, and times it by either 3 or 5. Then, use a Nationstates calc off the internet to find your yearly military budget, and start buying from storefronts. Maybe annouce a research plan for a new prospective weapon. Or, perhaps, announce it's creation, and start selling it.

is selling only tracked through posts? Or does NationState track that? I already know about

I don't have any Future Tech, but I have LUDICROUS amounts of fantasy tech.

See, I based my nation in the world of Midgard in the time period of Miviera, which, according to the books (...I wrote), is the time period second-closest to Technoa, which is the world Today. With the advantage I'm writing these stories, I can constantly change them to my advantage and godmod ludicrous amounts. But I won't be that ludicrous.

Anyway, that acceptable? I do have access to some space fantasy tech.
Worst comes to worst, I'll try hitching a ride with someone else.

Anyway, if I still can, sign me up.

I mostly limit myself to HIGHHIGH tech and some magic with Tarenteor, my demonic leader, and psykers and mages, etc. So it's a fruity combo.

Actually, My fleet is quite modern. Thanks for the offer though. What I was saying is that "Will there be a ground war? I am signifigantly better at RPing that than I am at a space war."

Hmm. I like space wars more sometimes, and ground war others. It flips and flops occasionally.

ok, like I told the other guy, and like I have on the thread title, it's a space RP, not a fantacy RP

Space-Fantasy?

Space-Fantasy?

as long as you have a fleet

As much as I would like to, I just don't think I can take another Demon wars. Perhaps a smaller commitment this time, like a few frigates or something.

as I said, it's not the total war like last time. It's Temporal. Maybe more character based

Oh. Will there be ground combat? Sign me pu anyway.

But I think some Demon wars ground combat on a faraway system might be pretty neat...mabye ground combat based even.

I volunteer the modern-day located battlefield of the Order for a nice campaign. (May be located modern-day, but since I've got plenty of future tech, and this is temporal.....who knows what can get involved. And besides..when this comes...it will be grand chance for me to complete a few loose ends....no matter WHEN it occurs)

ya, I was thinking ground

That'll be pretty neat.

Ground combat would be fun.

With mechs and tanks and stuff, right? Or just infantry?

Is it too late to join and does it mater that my nation is so new?
You guys were saying that it would be about a month before it started and as I remember thats long enough for a nation to get rather large.

You guys were saying that it would be about a month before it started and as I remember thats long enough for a nation to get rather large.

just make sure you have a fleet by then.

LRR: Probably not. The "ground combat" would probably be small squads groups. More of a stealth/temporal war.

Hell, we wouldn't even need to use all of our fleets. Just a few small groups.

Oh. Well, interesting just the same.

*Begins to create heavy tank squads*

fantasy stuff (elves, & etc) is fine by me, just so long as you don't use magic or godmod. To avoid confusion, I'll be posting any modern-tech action with my puppet, Al-Khalja. My space fleet is ready to go.

Squad level warfare, just my kind of writing! Wonder if I should bring out the "Shiva" tank. Probably be a bit crazy for this kinda thing.

Ok, are we ready to start this soon?

Ok, are we ready to start this soon?

uh....We're gonna start this in about 2 weeks, when I have the plot compleatly sorted out. That and I'm still repairing my fleet and such.

Still gives me plenty of time to work on my fleet.

I'm getting the impression that you all think this will just like the last Demon War.

Your wrong.

This is NOT all-out, full scale war. It will deal more with characters, time travle, and alternet universes. Small-scale space skermishes, and small scale land skermishes.

Not the massive armogeddon one from before.

but massive armageddons are so much fun...

Ok, AO.

Hey, do you think we might accelerate it a tad? My school starts in two weeks...

Ok, AO.

Hey, do you think we might accelerate it a tad? My school starts in two weeks...

ya? Well I start in a week. I still need more time to figure out the whole plot. So far I only got the basic idea down.

Well, you have my sympathies, AO. August 18th? That's horrible. And I think the 31st is bad...

Well, you have my sympathies, AO. August 18th? That's horrible. And I think the 31st is bad...

yep, the 18th.

yep, the 18th.

High school or what? I start my freshman year on the 31st, with three honors classes. One of my friends has all honors classes.

High school or what? I start my freshman year on the 31st, with three honors classes. One of my friends has all honors classes.

Senior year. One AP class.

No armageddon?
But I just started building Doomsday weapons!!!
I go back to school on the 24th... :(

Hmm, could I join?

Hmm, could I join?

if your a space nation.

I finished my Super Carrier Flagship, The Freestar. 1900 fighters. Yay.

if your a space nation.

Yeah, I am...

So, whens this thing happinin?

Uh... Add me to the list?

Well...after some deliberation, mathemacation, and contemplation, (gotta love the -tion!) I've come to the conclusion that I'll have a rather massive fleet. 2 Cruisers and six small System Patrol Craft (Corvette Class), to be exact.

ON the other hand, Groundside, I'll have lots, and lots and lots of power-armored troopers. If I need to make a greater space commitment, since this is occuring in mulitple timelines, I can involve the 'future' government that the Kestrels would fall under (and had originally sent the Morogeth, and their opposition who sent the Psamtik to the past to confront/assist the Kestrels)....if no one minds, of course. I admit its real close to pulling fleets out of the mythical "Ass Space"

Well...after some deliberation, mathemacation, and contemplation, (gotta love the -tion!) I've come to the conclusion that I'll have a rather massive fleet. 2 Cruisers and six small System Patrol Craft (Corvette Class), to be exact.

Thats not many ships, Well... it matters on by cruisers, you mean by battlecruisers, normal cruisers are anti fighter, cluster missiles and whatnot. I suggest moving up your fleet production.

Whats the maximum amout of ships we can use in this anyway?

That is a very small fleet. I don't see any limit, except what would be fun... so no uber-fleets that have 100,000 battleships- it would ruin the rp.

Atlantian Outcasts- could you TG me when you're ready.

I would love to have Xanthal be involved, though they won't be taking the frontline role they did last time. The Xanthalian military has been heavily reformed to reflect Xanthal's pacifist era, and they have only enough warships left for defensive purposes. All told, there are two hundred Xanthalian vessels, about one hundred in each of their two systems at any one time. Most are kept in spacedock until a threat is percieved. While the Socialist Republic won't be doing much fighting, they're still a galactic hub for maintenence and resupply, and they still have the invaluable Infinity Gateway. It would be fun to see how they would fit in to this newest conflict.

PS. Make it happen this time, ya?

The WIckian Commonwealth can contribute a light Flotilla:
1 Wasp Class CVE
2 ardurous Class Battle Cruisier(POD)
4 Destiny class Heavy Cruisers
2 Frontier Class Light Cruisers
8 Hawkbat Class Destroyers

All together about a two battalion of Ground Troops of Wickian MArinies
this is it for now

People, agian I must tell you, it's not a full scale war this time. It's a Temporal/character RP, with a FEW minor space and land skermishes.

And Xanthal, i would have last time, except the server was an ass to me, ok?

I know AO, I'm just messing with ya. It's all good. I'm still not quite sure I understand how this is going to work, but I guess I'll find out soon enough, eh?

Thusly why I said I've only got a small force (And who says cruisers have to be in an anti-fighter role?), and if its necessary, I can toss in a few from the Realms of Ass Space to help round out the RP. Since it IS a mostly character RP, its gonna provide the perfect grounds through which I finish off the Kestrel Storyline, since theirs is a character story, not just a continuous battle.

I just also mentioned ground troops cause I have so many of those, its not funny. Kind of an annoyance, actually..

Xanthal tried a temporal experiment once and almost destroyed the galaxy. They've not done anything temporal since. Being the kind of people they are though, laws and directives do exist regarding time travel for Xanthalian citizens.

alright since its been stressed so much how about a single cruisier whose captain and or First officer would be my main charector is that better suited to the RP ?

Since the temporal nature of this rp, I will feature my main character at three different points in his life. One will be as PM of Celack, The next will be Admiral of the fleet (This one will come with a battlecruiser. My only large scale ship in this rp.) and the final one will be Fmr. Admiral of the fleet who is on the run from bounty hunters.

ya? Well I start in a week. I still need more time to figure out the whole plot. So far I only got the basic idea down.

So hows the plot coming along?

when will we begin?

The final start date:
*drumroll*
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Saturday. When I have more then enough time to PM everyone.

Yay! :)

TG me instead of PM please. Don't trust it.

oooooohhhhhh saturday yeah its a comming

Unfortunately, it seems I will not be able to participate here after all. Xanthal will most likely not exist by the time it starts. My apologies.

Xanthal will most likely not exist by the time it starts. My apologies

What seems to be the trouble?

I'm ending the nation's run. Concluding its story. After my current RP is over, I will allow it to disappear.

TG me instead of PM please. Don't trust it.


sorry, I ment TG.


And damn it, that's yet another vetran player leaving. Xanthal, Crimmond, Ajdeeini (I know its mispelled)....a few others inside the APTO...

:(

At this rate, NS will only consist of 2 goats and a homeless guy within a matter of months

it's like a school, the uperclassmen move on, and the underclassmen become uperclassmen. in a couple years, there won't be many 03 nations left, then 04, etc etc.

meh, then consiter me held back....indefenetly. I ain't leaving. :)

Consider me in the special-ed class. Never leaving, always having fun and being funny. As well as being older than everyone else. Now excuse me, I'm going swimmer.
