General looking for job

Sanctaphrax
05-10-2004, 15:29
A top Sanctaphrax general is looking for a job in any foreign nation after being exiled from Sanctaphrax. He was caught fooling around with a delegate from another nation, Serafima.
He would like to continue in the armed forces somewhere, the higher the rank the better. He will consider any offers given and of course, allies will be given better chances. General Antonius Santius will be travelling in various foreign nations until he decides where he wants to go.
If anyone is interested in hiring him, even for short periods of time, even for putting out a rebellion, he wil be interested. He is 29 and is well built. He will consider short or long term propositions, even permanent if a nation is interested. Please leave a message saying what job, for how long and how much money it's worth.
Currently interested nations:
1)Endenia
2)Hyperlight
3)Drum Gods
4)Ankhmet
5)Sarzonia
6)Godular

We are interested but would like to know the service history of the General, any commendations he has received and any specialist degrees or tactical qualifications he has.
He has been in the army since age 18 and has degrees in mechanics and leadership. He is the youngest person in Sanctaphrax history to become general at age 25 so he has experience. Also he was traind by General Varis Lodd, the best general Sanctaphrax has ever had. She's 38 and has been general for 15 years.

We are highly interested inacquiring this General but you must understand our nation has had some of the greatest and most successful Generals in history. Some of whom have conquered over half the globe and overseen countless historic battles. This general may at one stage have the task of presiding over an army over 200million people. His span of control may become wide and his chain of command long. Do you believe he could handle this?

It would require some more training because the whole os Sanctaphrax is only 500 Million. He has had battle experience but doubtless not as much as have your generals. 200 Million would be a lot of people to command and we are not sure of his ability to handle that kind of pressure. He is talented, don''t get me wrong but 200 Million is out of his league.

We are also interested...we are looking for a general to carry out err "missions" to quietly remove certain "chaotic, perverse" elements from our society. These elements have been causing problems by brainwashing the people and making them think that life is not as good as it can get under the compassionate iron fist of the Emperor that only has the well-being of his subjects in mind.

He must be well liked and trusted by our people, so as not to arouse any suspicions about his tactics. If you think he fits the bill, then send him our way!

He will enter a probationary period as a middle ranking general which means his responsibilities would be in assisting the General Van Dervand our Chief of Colonial Expansion as he prepares to annex the land of Sinear. Money is likely to be initially around the $140,000-$180,000 a year inc. benefits.

How good is he at defense? If he is brilliant, the Rouge State of Hyperlight would be honored to take in this general. Pay would be about 100,000 every six months, and you'd get free burgers due to being unable to ship them out of our region. We'd also supply a free living space. You'd be our defense manager, keeping grubby nations who would like to get their hands on us away. We're currently beginning research on advanced defensive systems and might be able to stand up to an invasion by the US, but it'd be a close fight. If you are interested, please let me know.

He'll be quite active. Recently, we've had several incidents with bands of nations forcibly trying to get my nation to join. I would prefer to have another answer than to hold my finger on the "Nuke" button. Especially since I don't want a return nuking. Plus, we have several ultra militant animal rights activists who once even had the audacity to graffiti my officer in my sleep.

Plus, he'd be busy over the next few months anyway in order to straighten out the defenses.

He is looking for someone to advise him on the status of the Sarzonian army and make suggestions, and if he work well with the people under your command, he'd be integrated as a general. ICly, the army hasn't had much battlefield experience. OOCly, every time I get ready to land an army, the RP dies out or the opponent surrenders. *sigh*]

I don't intend to kill them. I'm rather pissed that they have turned my office into something looking like a chicken coop and I need an expert to bring these people down. My army uses non-leathal methods whenever possible when dealing with internal affairs. The problem has died down recently since I had to put tanks on the roads, but it's still there. And, just because this is a young nation does not mean it it isn't without those that would kill to see it destroyed.

So are you still interested? A new campaign has appeared where we have jsut conquered half of the Dutch Antilles and are moving to colonise the rest of the carribean. In doing the Chief General and Commander may be busy with other matters. Meanwhile General Van Dervand is leading this campaign and does require an associate advisor ie a middle ranking general position where you can go into direct action and conflict.

[OOC: I've been trying to look up salaries for five-star generals in the U.S. Army with no luck. I'd probably double that to account for the Sarzonian dollar being $.47 cents to the U.S. dollar.]

We would be willing to pay the general a salary that is commesurate with salaries among our existing generals. We are in the process of evaluating the other offers on the table and are considering a financial package that will be very competitive when compared with the other offers.

We would provide salary and fully paid housing and transportation costs near our new military complex being constructed near the Woodstock suburb of Saugerties. [OOC: It's the Sarzonian version of the Pentagon, and Woodstock is my capital.] Depending on various factors should he accept our offer, his compensation package would be equivalent to that of a five star general in some armies.

Considering the offers made by other countries, we are offering $5 million per year and a signing bonus of $1 million. In addition, as previously noted, we are offering fully paid housing and a brand new automobile and would be situated near our military command complex.

The general has the opportunity to receive the rank of Field Marshall, which would make him the only Field Marshall in Sarzonia, should he prove himself in his advisory capacity.

Greetings and Salutations!

The Dominion of Godular wishes to express interest in "acquiring" this individual. We have need of a military professional schooled in the ways of mechanical engineering, and suspect that he would make a very capable commander in the Armor Corps, with a small hand in testing out experimental technologies in battlefield conditions.

Pay will be substantial, with a few perks and bonuses to boot. Free med-care, stock options, stuff like that... standard package, really. We try to make our Compulsory Service at least somewhat attractive.

Job Specifications:

-Command 5 Brigades of Home Guard Armor (a typical division)
-Assist in experimental arms testing (in cooperation with the H.E. Institute)
-Assist in design and manufacture of arms and armor

The last two will only be small parts at first, as we need to gauge his... loyalty... before committing into anything more extensive. Granted, this just means his workload in the beginning will be lighter, giving him a chance to acclimate. When he is brought into the full aspect of testing and design, he should find himself suitably challenged.

I suppose it would help if I mention something further about serving in the governate upon retirement:

The pre-eminent requirement for serving in the Governate as one of the Dominion's leaders is that he be able to provide the largest share in funding towards the maintenance and expansion of one of Godular's 25 capitol city analogs for 4 years, which is also the term of service.

I also mentioned that 7 of the 25 members of the governate are former Generals. And they have been for the past... 20 years, I think...

What I mean to say is we don't just offer a house, a snazzy car, and a private jet... by the time a godulan general retires, he usually has his own CITY

I did say he would live quite comfortably.

You'll have to be more realistic than that. I won't believe that the general will get a palace.

You're right about that. I am offering a 50,000 square foot house until I can build something bigger. We're an island nation, but planning on buying more space soon. Looking at several islands to the north and west.....

Of course, he can have one to himself if he helps out in aquisitioning them.........

And since we did a survay and found ourselves in the possesion of 11 BILLION dollars for a 7 million strong nation, we are offering now a 10 million signing bonus and 1 million a year for the next 20 years, barring pay raises. At the end of the twenty years you would get an automatic raise to 5 million or more a year. Still offering tax free living and just about every heart's content........

Right, I assume that that is everyone who is interested in!
I now have a question for the 5 involved.
Why should general Antonius join your nation instead of the others?

We don't claim to be morally right at all. We are who we are, and frankly right now we're a military state in need of someone truely brilliant and gifted to help us grow and expand and are willing to make a devil's bargain to do so.

We hope that Antonius appreciates a good challenge as much as, if not more than, any monetary/property incentives we could offer. Indeed, this position will make certain that his skills both in leadership and tactics NEVER atrophy.

Also, having a hand in the development of some of the more... interesting military technologies we currently have in the works is an honor that should not be underestimated. Name in history books, commemorative coffee mugs, so on so forth.

We are offering not only a position of leadership to Antonius, we're offering him a chance to excel on a level he should find... surprising.

The Incorporated Sarzonian Army is a small, but professional fighting force that is looking to step out of the immense shadow created by the Navy. It is reasonably well-equipped and its generals have terrific potential, but they have very limited experience in ground combat except for two insurrections.

I will be completely honest here. Antonius would face some resistance if he is brought on board when plans to promote him to Field Marshall are made public due to the requirements of Sarzonia's open records law, but we are convinced that once he meets with the generals, they will get an idea of why Hal Luxton has such confidence in his abilities. Besides that confidence, the fact is that the advisory role does not come with a guarantee of the position of Field Marshall, but that is a possibility that can be greatly enhanced once he meets with the generals who would be involved with the decision.

If he decides upon the Sarzonian offer, you vote for an offer that is an honest assessment of the opportunities and the challenges that he would face upon his arrival in the military complex in Saugerties. It would also be an offer to live in a country that does not allow the indiscretion of his past with Serafima to cloud its assessment of him as a military officer.

We'll just wait for Drum Gods and Ankhmets offer and then see who he chooses to go to.

IC: The general had rented a car in some country, he couldn't even remember the name. He decided to just drive and see where he'd end up. 10 hours later, still on the road he came up to a sign saying... Welcome to Serafima!
"I must be hallucinating" he thought, "still, very pleasant hallucination." His head nodded forward and he fell asleep on the wheel!!!

Drum Gods and Anhkmet defaulted by not answering so its down to Godular, Hyperlight and Sarzonia.
A TG shall be sent to the winner, he shall deny it so you won't find out who it is, until you see him on a battlefield somewhere.

Thank you very much, we will pass on your best wishes to him. Next time a general gets kicked out of the Sanctaphrax army we'll let you know.
