Just a idea for a RP, what happens if say, a modern Tech Nation finds middle Earth or some of its people/forces go back in time to the middle Ages or something, or Future Tech people go back in time or something. So I hought we might RP it.

This is a thread to work out whats going to happen at first and what caricters/nations will be fetured, I'll be running it, post here if you want to join in or have ideas.

If you make your own one or want to different type of ideas along these lines please post links to your threads here also.
Thanks.
Aust.

I'm game.

Heliocopters versus dragons.

Tanks versus the Oliphants (from LOTR movie)

Guns or Lasers versus Magical spells (Fireballs, Ice Darts, Lighting Bolts, etc.)

Metallic ships versus Sea Serpents or Sea Behemoths

The list goes on.

I just got the best idea:I'm gonna take over Mordor with twelve guys! Then enslave all the orcs to do my bidding.
Rinceweed
14-09-2004, 22:10
Ya know, you may be powerful and all, but even Orcs can fire enough arrows and lob enough giant chunks of stone to stop twelve men.

Oh, and don't forget the fact that they can probably crush you to death with a dog pile. >.>

....oh come on, you HAVE to reload eventually. Or hell, at least run out of ammo. Unless, y'know, ye have this small country sitting right behind the twelve men, all producing ammo and guns for the twelve men.

....wait, why not simply get a jeep, attach chainsaws to the side (No, don't go yet! Hear me out!), put machine guns on the front, and simply drive through the entire Mordor army, until the Jeep is so green with Orcy blood it might as well be camoflauged.

Well, actualy orcs bleed black, if you payed attention in the movies, and I could just take a tank, and run everyone over.

Fine, so black it might as well be night-camo, happy?

Oh, and I know a tank is more effective, but a super jeep is just all the more fun. And, of course, cooler to look at.

I'll RP a Doom Legion Hunter-Killer team stumbling onto Middle Earth, than calling for reinforcements...in the form of one tank.
Ybronneb
14-09-2004, 22:44
Or maybe I would be a spec ops team which gets lost in a cave and comes out in the middle ages! I would probably use the Wraiths....(Aust: I used them in that one school full of terrorists, remember?). There would be like 5 of them or something....with only their standard stuff! That would get pretty fun.....

Wow, imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery. Somehow I fail to be flattered, though.

Just the same, do remember that one tank will not beat an army. Try thinking creatively. It would only take a small squad to dig pits that a tank would simply fall into and be trapped. A fellow with a sniper rifle would have a hard time hitting a large group of men running directly at him, in time to save his own skin. War is not a shooting gallery.
Rinceweed
14-09-2004, 22:55
OH! OH! I HAVE AN IDEA!

Over in another thread, I have a large space station called Phage. For reasons I aint gonna say incase anyone from the thread is reading, I may be able to get it in orbit of Middle-Earth. It would most likely send down, say, a 3 or 4 man squad to scout the surface, and then my RP would begin.

These kinds of posts and such truly sadden me.

I don't want any nukes or anything in this RP.

Also....

1. Magic and Tech will be evenly matched.

2. Magic will be able to destroy tanks.

3. The 50 foot tall Oliphants are Fantasy version of tanks.

4. There will be no 1000000 tanks, 39793793797 guns, etc. Super Nukkor Ownage.

If need be, I will make my own closed Technology Versus Magic thread to avoid all the "Technology will always win" crap.

I repeat, nukes will be IGNORED

Nukes ruin RP's, especially unique and interesting ones like Technology VS Magic.

I won't allow any god-modding, or Technology Defeats Magic All The Time mentality.

For all intents and purposes, Technology will be EQUAL to Magic in this or my own Tech vs Magic RP.

I am sad to see that many people consider Technology far superior than magic. That won't make any good RP's. That mentality won't do at all.

OOC: ITs not your RP. ANd like i said if you really went back you would use a nuke. ANd i never said Technology beat magic everytime. I would but the spells of Gandlaf and such are so cool, they could probably blow up a tank.
Democratic Colonies
15-09-2004, 00:26
I agree that magic being equal to tech is the only way to go about it. What fun would an RP be if a few modern troops could just mow everything down? The way I see it, a giant magical fireball is more than enough to destroy an Abrams, and an enraged swarm of dragons would present quite a challenge for a modern fighter wing.

I'm thinking more along the lines of small group combat though - kind of like modern nations sending through recon forces to explore the other side, the newly discovered "magical" side from the perspective of the modern techers. Something along the lines of what you see happen in sci-fi like Stargate. How's that sound?

I am aware that this is Aust's RP. However, I will begin my own RP if need be.

Nukes are banned from my fantasy v.s. technology RP's. They completely ruin RP's.

Why?

1. Most newcomers would just drop nukes all over the place

2. OMG TEH INVINCIBLE NUKKOR THAT CANNOT BE SHOT DOWN (god-modding for you newcomers who don't know)

3. Determinal to conquests, due to fallout and all that crap. Why conquer a land if you can't live in it?

4. Nukes require little to no tactics. I drop a nuke! I win, you lose! Bye Bye nation! (or in this RP case, bye bye fantasy faction)

5. I repeat myself, Nukes are just a load of bullshit.


Moving on...

Borman, you stated this...

OOC: I dont think Technology could beat magic every time as i have stated. But think if you ran the united states. You find a wormhole bringing you to Mordor. And war is declared. THe magic and massive size of the men would be a threat. You have nukes so you use one. You weren't looking for conquest or land so its ok. ANd furthermore in real life if you used a nuke yeah it would take little stratedgy and that's the beauty.

Anyway.....If i was going to take place in a war like this for the purpose of getting spoils and for expierience (This isnt real so i want it) i would use the best technology against them as i think technology used coorectly could win with a little luck.
Sharina
15-09-2004, 01:14
Yes, I understand the analogy.

However, nuking would invite another nations to nuke yourself.

The Technology v.s. Magic RP I had in mind would go like this...

Technology nation discovers Magical lands (like Middle Earth).

OR

Magic people find Technology nation (Imagine the Elvish Exodus at end of LOTR trilogy sails across the ocean and finds technology nations)


THEN...

Exploration, diplomacy, interaction, etc. Wonders aplenty, people try to mesh magic and technology, etc.


THEN.... perhaps a war or something.

Imagine Sauron resurrects, or a Fantasy Villain resurrects (any fantasy book or series). Then they will amass armies or scheme all over again. Things go bad like in the actual stories.

Some technology and fantasy nations remove themselves from the coming war, while others get into the thick of things.


THEN add more plot twists and such further along in the RP.

OOC:THats good but what i was saying was real stuff. Like if you were in the lord of the rings as a man. And you discovered a nuke. ANd Sauron killed Frodo and got hte ring. You would use it. Or if the men fleeing middle earth came to the technology place and wared them and then went back. Youd nuke em to save lives, if you wanted more land you wouldve already left. But for the purpose of getting land and expierience in this you would RP it, plus the fact that dead soldiers dont really matter.

Y'know, running a pre-Industrial Revolution Fantasy-Based Medieval Nation which Emphasizes Magic in Regional Alliance with Fantasy-Based Science-Fiction Space-Tech nations is actually what I've done for nearly 20 months.

Nuclear weapons require electronic frequencies to target.
Those can be disrupted by blocking the transmissions through the air.

THe Missiles themselves are merely objects in the air that do not detonate until done so remotely or upon impact (e.g., The Nakashima Bomb was detonated about 1500 feet above ground). As such, physical objects in trajectories are usually dismayed through the use of wormholes, rifts, and other dimensional trails that send them quite aways away.

What technology cannot do, Magic easily overcomes.
What magic cannot do, technology finds a way.

It may be true that you take some Orcs down with your rifle. But in a charge, you're prone to going commando. While you reload, they gain ground. Your rifle isn't as good as a weapon as an axe when they're in your face. They're faster than you. They're stronger than you.

They have home turf. They know the land. They can ambush you. No amount of bullets save you from surprise.

I also never believed that the creator mentioned anything about war. He never mentioned anything about entire nations going through the Time-Flux. Seemingly, it will be assumed as if this would be a character roleplaying campaign. Most humans don't carry around missiles on their backs. This isn't Fallout.

Also, it's usually not wise to throw a nuclear missile at a world you've never been on, especially if you don't know the size of the planet. You'd need to be hundreds of miles away anyway just to avoid the blast. Only a true idiot would use a nuclear weapon on an alien world that is unknown and undiscovered. True idiots aren't allowed access to such weapons, effectively making it an impossibility.

Nuclear weapons don't seem to Hurt Divine Beings, by the way. Just because their avatar is destroyed doesn't destroy them, just sends them into their energy forms. They can always come back when the time is right. They would also need to be dropped downwards, since it will be impossible to just fire them through the discontinuity in time-space. This requires the movement of a rather large aerial vehicle. Such things are shot down by Eagles, Drakes, and Dragons alike for suspicion of being a weapon for the other side.

I think you're just focusing too much on the combat (because you're what we refer to as a "Munchkin") and not enough on the roleplayability.

Grab some dice and meet me in Amn. We'll discuss this further.

15-09-2004, 06:34
High Orc, I was looking forward to a Modern / Post-Modern tech nation meeting up with fantasy worlds and such (like LOTR, Shannara, classical Final Fantasy worlds, Merlin worlds, etc.)

I had plans on making it a peaceful RP, then war later on as a resurrected evil fantasy ruler takes power, like Sauron II or something.

A LOTR series with a technological twist. The twist being that there will be a technological nation across the "Great Sea". At the end of the actual LOTR trilogy, the Elves went on their exodus into the ocean to seek other lands. My technological nation would be one of these lands, while the other lands would be more fantasy regions.

It's a mix between modern and medieval styles, because there is very little iron in our lands. Most people don't have dragons, they live in grand projects on the plains.

A great idea! But we can't haev an all V all otherwisde the future tech nations (ie: me) would win. I suggest, depending on numbers of nations of each type we get) that we divide up into different groups. We can have 1 future tech, 1 middle ages and 1 fantasy as an alliance etc. If we get enough, we will have a fairish battle rather then eleves being blown up by hydrogen bombs et cetera.

Is this good or what?

Nah....as soon as Aust posts with what he does to react to being captured by Braed and Robert, you'll probably be on the winning side (The side with the Wraiths...:P)

As soon as we find a way back we will have a Titan war mech, then ou will hae REAL problems. If the average shivian stand 10 feet, then this is 10 Shvians, And the Average Shivian Is only 7-8 feet tall, so they are very big. Sooooooo, Stop the Shivians.

I think the orcs will win. So many and Doom and I will probably with them. Although if the Shivan's come back we may need to unite against the military might that is them. Unless they pick a side.......

When the spirits finally find a way to communicate with the autorities all dragons will be prepared for battle. 2% of the population is in the dragonarmy, another 6% has a dragon of which 50% will come. That comes down to 4.5% of 368 million dragonryders.

Some 4% will actually be really combatready. That will be about 15 million dragons from all of Dragonryder's areas, if not a bit more.

It's a great advantage to be on your own planet... But first the spirits have to find their way home, and communicate with the mortals. Then the dragons need to be mobilized and the ryders must prepare for a long journey, which than has to take place, taking even more days...
Just that you know what I'm up to. (I just gave away my top secret plans)

The orcs have attacked, just wann say no, no god-moding please. Like 700 million dragons were discovered in an ancient cave and they come to our aid.

I thought you'd say something like that, that's why I didn't want to post it IC yet.

From the other hand... I think it's quite strange that you can suppress so many tribes (who have to be quite far apart from each other because of their aggressive stance) with only so little people and guns...

That army aint working for me. THe orcs are doiong it on their own accord. And who send my orcs would stay loyal???

YEs just go to 'times change' and send someone or someones back.

50,000 dragons certainly wouldn't be godmoding (IMO) since only half will be able to fight (The rest will be carrier-dragons with the goods and medics and scouts and so forth)
Borman Empire
01-10-2004, 21:19
Thats good. Since there are like 10 million orcs you can up the number. I mean like no *Cough* Hataria *Cough* like summoning.
Dragonryders
03-10-2004, 13:04
10 million??

I thought 5 was a lot...

And what do you mean by up the number?
Serafima
03-10-2004, 13:10
Serafima would like to join, we are fantasy. Mainly welsh-russian elves or fairies, STRANGE I know but our nation was originall inhabitted by both nationalities.....We train our army/navy/airforce with modern techniques but still apply the old ways as well, to create an exquisite force.

because of our latest natural disaster, the percentage of men to women has dropped. there are now equal amounts of men and women in the region.

Aust was the inventor...

I think he may decide.

Also, I think 'Times Changed' has evolved into something different than first intended. Am I right?
Borman Empire
03-10-2004, 15:40
By the up the number I mean you can probably have more dragons. Not as many orcs cause like 1 dragon can take like 100 orcs.
Dragonryders
03-10-2004, 18:51
I think 25000 attackdragons seems fair enough...
Besides I soon have an army of 27 ghosts of which 25 are dragons. (+ the 2 ghosts of Leji and Thane.)

Estholad
03-10-2004, 20:21
Ok. I was thinking that i could join in too. As a fantasy nation.

1. Has it been decided that where this conflict will take place? Like in Middle-Earth?
2.How big armys are people going to use? I just need to make up my own based on that info...

Anything else i should know about this?
Borman Empire
03-10-2004, 20:31
An army of like 1,000,000 fighting people. Thats if you can support it on yor NS screen. If not then your max force. If so dont go higher than like 2 million.
Estholad
03-10-2004, 20:43
Could easily go around that. For example If my NS nation can support 200,000 soldier's, i could say that all 200,000 are magicians, that can summon out 100 imps at a time :P.

But realisticly i will propably be having about 800,000 man army. And my country is to be a coalition of Humans (medieval type troop's, and magicians)and Dwarves (dwarvish Infantry, and strong mountain fortresses with nasty defences). Also i might be able to muster a rather large force of Ents into my ranks.

I'm a bit confused now

19 Of the Shivians talked to Barca for a minute, before activating their Warp packs and arriving back at the camp. They where lead by the one who was missing both real eyes, and he walked to the Generals Tent.

"The Commander has orders, we will oversee you make the weapons, and we will make a large number of molds to make them.

Who was Barca, have the elves given what you need?

As for him, He can earn his food. Understood?"
Is 'him' Karl?
