The Community of EcoWarriors is a cell of operatives or ‘friends’ as they call themselves, in almost every country around the world. Its members total currently stands at around 5 million and are growing all the time. In this world the environment is being damaged every moment of every day to stoke the fires of the Capitalist economies. Greed is destroying our planet and the EcoWarriors are trying to fight back. Their first major target, is the Capitalist, Imperialist monster of Credonia.

John Garrat and Joe Lynam appeared to their friends and family as two perfectly respectable people. Appeared. This was the EcoWarriors organization’s greatest strength. All of it’s members were perfectly respectable people. They were generally Middle Class people with two kids and a four bedroom detached house in the suburbs. They were also, however, charged with a passion and devotion to their cause. Their first target would be an oil refinery (OOC: Credonia, if you don’t have any oil refineries then change it to a port that imports oil or something), where John and Joe worked.

They were given instructions to receive some plastic explosive that had been smuggled into the country with a batch of illegal immigrants. They would then wire it to a home-made detonator and attach it to one of the oil pipelines, storage tanks, whatever they could find which would create the desired effect. That desired effect was a massive explosion that would not only significantly hurt Credonia’s oil supply in the very short term, but therefore also her economy and drastically effect her politics. With any luck, this attack would show the Credonian government that EcoWarriors meant business, and that they would fight for their cause.

John was late to work that day. He was up all night with worry, but he eventually managed to persuade himself that it was all for good. People would die, yes, but millions of animals would be saved in the long run. He repeated the EcoWarriors motto “Kill that animal and I kill you because killing is wrong” over and over. Once he was dressed, he grabbed the detonator and ran to his car.

He arrived at the refinery, a little late, but looking surprisingly awake for someone who hadn’t slept. He walked through the metal detectors, praying it would all go to plan. The beeping started at once.
“Sir, would you mind taking off any metal you have on you.”
“Yes of course,” Joe said, nervously un-strapping his watch, in which the detonator was hidden.
“And any coins you have, sir. Just put them in this bag” He did as the man said, and the second time he went through, no beeping sounded. “Here’s your stuff back, sir. Have a nice day”

Joe was waiting for him in the staff canteen.
“I was beginning to think you weren’t coming in today. Have you got that stuff I wanted,” said Joe, in a completely normal voice. They had been taught how to act when talking about mission in public by an EcoWarriors video.
“Yes I’ve got it, no problems. That’s $2.50, sorry.”
“No probs. I feel like going out for a fag. Wanna join me?”
“Yeah ok. I didn’t sleep well, perhaps it’ll wake me up.” They walked over to the door and stepped outside. They walked quickly over to the one of the huge oil storage tanks, and walked around it so they could no longer be seen. “Ok, give me the explosive. All I’ve got to do is put this through here, and there! Once I press this button we have 10 minutes to get away. Don’t tell anyone, don’t run. Just say you don’t feel well. Go home and wait. If they get onto us EcoWarriors will tell us and they’ll get us out of Credonia, OK.”

Joe gulped, “Yeah ok. For the cause, I’ll do it” John pressed the button.

Thanks :D

(well done expect for your ending cant call how many people or how much oil for that last part cred can ignore the entire attack....plus did you get permision?)

Imperialist monster of Credonia.

OOC: How many times! Credonia is not an Empire any more!![/rant]

(well done expect for your ending cant call how many people or how much oil for that last part cred can ignore the entire attack....plus did you get permision?)

OOC: I didn't say how many people died, only how many were in there but yes you have a point I'll change it.

It doesn't really matter if Cred's an Empire, Cred uses lots of oil etc. and harms the environment.

Damned straight........

OOC: Cred may well reject this, however well it has been rp'd unless of course you checked with him first?

Anyway it is a good rp.

lol i use nuclear power, better, more efficient and cleaner, you get more energy for your buck

And just how did you get into my nation? You cant just pop up. BTW, nice rp

ya but not every last powerplat uses nuclear power... what if there was a catastrophic failure, you'd need some sort of alternate power source...

I think it was insinuated that your own citizens were members of EcoWarriors, which is a perfectly believable situation.

Could the RP simply not be altered to a bombing of a nucleur control centre of a shipment of Uranium?

Change targets (to like a port or something) and rp the enterance into the country and i'll accept

:lol: I Just put that point across to him on MSN, then come on and see your post! great minds think alike eh? :P

oh and creddy, you'd have somewhere to store the oil you know... you don't buy refined Oil in the world, so you have a refinery at least... or perhaps some form of oil storage facility.

and considering Credonia's constant state of alert, that oil reserve would be protected by the military as its could easily be the target of a terrorist attack considering Credonia's size and noteriety to attract terrorists. Anyone with half a brain would realize that.

Yes, but as I said in my post, these are people who work in the refinery. They are allowed in there, they are Credonian citizens. EcoWarriors is not a nation, it is a network of terror cells in most countries. Therefore, I dont see the problem with the original RP.

OOC: hmmm...damn you got me. Proper reply coming once i reread your first post

Ok thanks. Sorry I didn't check with you first.

Tom Pickens, the senior guard at the gate, watched the men as they headed towards the storage tanks and thought nothing of it, as people always go around that way to smoke.

Suddenly, a few minutes later, a large explosion ripped through the first oil tank, sending a large shockwave traveling through the air. The heat became so intense that a second storage tank exploded and burst into flames, spewing thick, black, billowing smoke into the air. The men at the gate were suddenly thrown off their feet by the shockwaves thta accompanied the explosions.

"HOLY SHIT, SOUND THE ALARM!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled one of the gate officers.

A guard next to him picked himself up and ran to the gate and pressed the alarm which sounded immediately. He then picked up the phone and called for the refinery fire department to contain the fire.

Inside of the refinery, workers quickly scrambled to evacuate the building. The alarm blared through the entire facility, adding to the already confusing situation.

Within minutes, law enforcement and emergency vehicles were pulling up to secure the area and put out the fires before they caused any more damage.

Credonian Presidential Palace, Credonia City, Credonia

President Sutton sits in his office balancing the national budget and reviewing domestic policies that would affect the budget. He is suddenly inturrupted by his personal assistant Melany Mitchelson.

"SIR, we just got word that the West Gate Oil Refinery has has an explosion."

"What? Oh great. Ok. Get some people ot there and find out what is going on"

"Yes sir"

Ms. Mitchelson rushes out of the room to carry out the President's orders.

Later that day, a statement was issued by EcoWarriors. A video was dropped in a central Credonian police station, with a note attached saying, "A message from nature".

When the video was played, the statement was short and to the point:

"We are the EcoWarriors. We issue the following demands:

1) Credonia to make a public statement announcing that they will cease using oil in the near future.

2) Credonia passes a law against any new pollution causing cars being made or imported in Credonia.

3) Credonia ceases using oil within 20 years.

Our demands are not unreasonable, neither are is theaction we will take if you refuse to stop destroying Mother Earth."

Thankyou Comrades, we share this victory with you. May we have many more victories in the future.

While the rescue efforts continue at the oil refinery, President Sutton prepares to give a speech to the world, directed to the EcoWarrior organization.

He approaches the podium and looks out into the television camera's before him.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the world, members of Congress, my fellow Credonians, today as many of you are aware, an oil refinery in northern Credonia was bombed by a terrorist organization. This terrorist organization calls themselves EcoWarrior, and as the name implies, they fight to save our environment, something that most of us Credonians believe in, myself included. They have made three key demands of this government. They are as follows: 1) Credonia to make a public statement announcing that they will cease using oil in the near future, 2) Credonia passes a law against any new pollution causing cars being made or imported in Credonia, and 3) Credonia ceases using oil within 20 years. It is my full intention to follow through with these demands, not because this organization demands that we do, because Credonia does not bend to demands from any faction whether it be a terrorist organization or a nation. That has been our bedrock principle. I am going to follow through with these demands because I myself believe that the use of oil and fossil fuels are detramental to our environment. As you can see, the use of these resources has caused global warming and will soon cause our climate to change drastically for the worse. In order to do this, we MUST find alternate sources of fuel and find ways to lower the emmission of greenhouse gases produced by cars and factories.

Because of this, I will be working with my scientific advisors on a plan to try to reduce these gas emmissions, comply with the demands asked by the EcoWarrior organization, and to start a global initiative to reduce or totally eliminate the use of these natural resources by substituting them for clearner, more environment friendly sources that are just as efficient if not more. The announcement will be made later today. ANd one final statement, to the EcoWarrior organization, if you wanted us to do something, all you had to do was petition the government. The bombing was uncalled for. Thank you"

Alexander leaves the room and heads for his office to speak with his advisors.

This is a genuenly suprising statement. EFFOC applauds Credonia's move towards a green world, and congratulates EcoWarriors achievment.

OOC: Now that is how you deal with a terrorist organisation. The US should take a lesson.

Whilst we are sure that this would not have happened had we not brought the issue to your attention, we thank you none the less. We are sorry for the people who have died, but if that is what must be done to save millions in the future, both humans and animals, then so be it. Again we thank you.

The Credonia speech was forwarded to Foreign Affairs, initial reactions were good, Credonia was going green. No large scale operations to hunt down the men had taken place, the ministry was pleasently surprised. A hastly assembled press conference was set up. Aid would of course be offered to Credonia, but it was unlikely to be needed in a country of such riches.

A man of medium height with short dark hair steps up to the podium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Minister of Foreign Affairs."

the minister steps up and the man takes his seat.

"We firstly would like to offer out our condolences to the families of those killed in the devestating blast at a Credonia oil refinery. We congratulate the Credonia government for its desicion to 'go green' and use more efficient fuel whever possible. However, this cowardly terrorist act has damaged EcoWarriors reputation, we feel that using violence in this case was totally unnecessary, you cannot use violence in this manner to achieve your goals, however justified they may be.

Heavens Rim, Secret Location


"Interesting yes, even more interesting is that it has made Credonia look weak bowing to ecowarriors!"

~Address to the GLA Terrorists~

"Credonia is not bowing to terrorists, instead it is transferring to alternative fuels which will be much more efficient for everyone, this does not mean it has submitted to terrorists, the demands made where not unrealistic demands, and would probably have to have occured eventually. Therefore while this action may have pushed Credonia towards green fuels Credonia will not bow down before terrorists, that we are almost sure of"

"Credonia is not bowing to terrorists

OOC: No, but it is bowing to the demands of terrorists, and that is what I presume GLA meant....

Whether or not the terrorists had a legitimate cause does not change the fact that bombs were used and people and property were destroyed. Does the Ecowarrior organisation have any intention of handing over the criminals to face Credonian justice?

:lol: As EcoWarriors is an ecoterrorist organisation, I doubt it.

No. Those people are heroes for bringing about such a change in a major nation. They deserve riches not imprisonment.

OOC: Where the men killed in the blast, or has that still to be determined

They had 10 minutes to get away, so I would assume not, but it's up to Credonia - they were his citizens after all.

EDIT: Sorry I forgot to congratulate EcoWarriors on a good RP. Much better than most terrorist posts.

and considering Credonia's constant state of alert, that oil reserve would be protected by the military as its could easily be the target of a terrorist attack considering Credonia's size and noteriety to attract terrorists. Anyone with half a brain would realize that.

My question is where do you get the money to maintain this constant state of alert.

So I do have common ground with Credonia after all!

"Ladies and gentlemen, today Credonia was attacked as everyone is aware. The actions taken by myself were not a weak response to the terrorists demands. As was stated earlier in a speech i gave, we did now bend at the demands of terrorists, nor will we ever. It has been a bed rock principle of Credonia not to give into terrorist demands, however, this situation is unique. My swift compliance with the demands of the terrorists were not driven by fear, but merely necessity. The necessity to preserve our beloved world and home we call Earth. Plans to undergo such a campaign described in my prior speech were on the drawing board long before this attack took place (check under my new set of foreign policies thread), however, these attacks did bring me to my senses about our world's growing problems. While I do condemn these attacks, and while the people responsible for these attacks will be apprehended when we find them, we have a more serious problem, and these attacks by this environmental group brought them to for forefront of my attention and i dealt with them accordingly.

Right now, I can safely say that we do have the names of the individuals who is suspected as he was spotted by the oil storage tanks prior to the explosions, and we will catch all of those responsible for these acts. We will find them with the resolve that we have had to apprehend all other types of terrorists. Just because they brought a major and important issue to the forefront of my agenda, does not give them the justification to commit the acts of destruction that they did. Once caught, they will recieve the maximum penalty that Credonian law will allow. Credonia wil brook no aggression and we certainly will not tolerate terrorist organizations.

Finally, no one was killed in the blasts, however, at least 20 people were injured by either the blasts or the following shockwaves produced by them. None of the injuries are serious. In addition, we thank Celtayoshi for their moral support in this event. It is deeply appreciated. More updates will follow soon. Thank you, good evening, and God bless."

OOC: No if the US submitted to all terrorists as that was done they would be getting terror attacks everyday of the week.
To Credonia i would say, not the wisest move my friend.

It was inevitable, whether they performed the attack or not. I announced it, i made it a part of my foreign and domestic policy, and theres no use going back on it and being called a hypocrit because i did so. As i keep reiterating, Credonia does nto bend to terrorists. We are just as stubborn and hardheaded as we always have been, this was just a special situation that I decided to make a top priority. Better now than later (the later i put it off, the most likely i forget about it and dont fulfill my promise)

OOC:Yeah i know that but other, less intelligent, leaders may just take this as a free for all on Credonia and start attacking you will-nilly and then expect their demands to be met with you covering the meeting of them up by saying they are part of ongoing policy change! But anyway maybe thats just me being paranoid *looks over shoulder*.

OOC: yea thats just yo ubeing paranoid lol. Credonia will continiue to meet all threats in the same manner as it always has. No negotiations, no favors, no matter what the price. We will not bend to terrorist demands.
