Mercenaries for hire

Nation of Fortune
18-10-2004, 01:48
The Nation of Fortune would like to officially offer it's military services, to nations who desire it.

I have available: 2,167,500 companies available (43,350,000 men)

(4 squads of 4 men and 2 sniper squads with 2 people = 1 company)

These prices are negotiable. these are just the base prices
The standard rate for war is $500,000 per month per company plus expenses.

The standard rate for guard duty is $50,000 per company per year, or $2,500 per normal man, and $3,000 per sniper plus expenses

Prices on assassination may vary depending on the job and risks invloved

Expenses are as follows: Food and board, transportation, and medical.

Each Company comes with 3 HMMWV's Equpped with an M-60 machine gun

Each Normal man comes equipped with 1 p90 automatic weapon, 1 ak-47, 1 ak-107, or 1 xm-8, their choice. They also come with 2 grenades, 1 bullet proof vest or 1 load bearing vest, 1 1st aid kit, 1 combat knife, 1 urban, 1 woodland, and 1 dessert camo BDU.

Each sniper comes with their choice 1 M40A3, 1 Dragunov SVD, or 1 SVU-A Sniper Rifle. They also come with with 2 grenades, 1 load bearing vest, 1 1st aid kit, 1 combat knife, 1 Pair of Binoculars, 1 urban, 1 woodland, and 1 dessert camo BDU.

My snipers are of the highest Quality, they have been thoroughly trained in all aspects of wilderness survival and can go for days in the wild. These men contain all the qualities of normal infantry men, and have been trained to work in two man teams, They can accurately hit a target at 1,500 yards, 1,000 in adverse conditions or at night.

Each infantry men has been been trained like hell in adverse conditions, from hot desserts, all the way to mountain tops. They have been trained in automatic, semiautomatic, pistols, and heavy weaponry. These men can operate normal vehicles (Trucks, HMMWV's, missile carriers, etc) and helicopters at an above average quality, but fall into a slump when operating, tanks, heavily armored vehicles, and airplanes. My men never question their orders (except those that might harm the mother country) and will never betray anybody who purchases our services.

We are now offering Tank Units. Each unit has 20 vehicles, 5 heavy tanks, 5 light reconosiance tanks, 5 medium tanks, and 5 Supply transport vehicles. More info to be added later

(please expect updates with more info as my country and military grows)

We need live mercenaries for use in training of our troops. We need them so we can have an opponent to hunt down and kill in training.

Give people stats. Let them know how many men you are offering, divide them into groups (Special Forces, Standard Troops, Air Force)

Tell them what weapons they wield, how much ammo you supply them with. Tell them what foods your men eat, what they look like. This is an RP, and you are telling a story.

Eg:

Example One:

I hav sum men to hir.

Not very good, is it now.

Example Two:

I have 500 men to hire

Better, but still not detailed enough.
Example 3
I have 500 Special Troops to hire, and they all carry AK-47's, know how to fly planes, and disable explosives.

Much better, but still not quite up to scratch.
Example 4
I have 500 Special Troops to hire, they are all equipped with AK-47s and 122 rounds of ammo, also provide 3 days of food and water, know how to fly planes from around the 1980-1995 era of warplanes/civilian planes, can disable and set explosives that were made between 1976-2003, all have medical experience, know how to forage for food, and 75% of them have black belts in karate. They also resist torture, and are supremely brave.
(Link to bravery)

Now, most people would hire that kind of detail. People like to know EXACTLY what they are getting into, what happens all the time, and they like to be able to bring up what their troops can do.

If they hired from the guy who wrote example 2, this is what might happen.

I have 500 troops. They attack.

Guy 2: My 5000 Troops kill almost all of them and take them back to camp to interrogate them.

Guy 1: Damn!


Of course, thats a bad example of RPing, but still..

This is what happens if they hired from the guy in example 4



Guy 1: My 500 troops capture your aircraft, and begin to fire upon your HQ

Guy 2: Hang on, who said they could fly my aircraft. They are a bit old, after all.

Guy 1: (Puts in Link to Troop Hiring Thread)

Guy 2: OK, OK, but I use my AA Guns to destroy them, as I have a massive encampment.

Guy 1: Fair enough, 20 planes can't resist 4000 AA Guns.

Guy 2: I take your troops in for interrogation, to find out what your plans are.

Guy 1: They are resistant to torture, as they go through advanced pain-acceptance programs when young.

Guy 2: Oh, its in the link.

Guy 1: Whats more, while you interrogate him, I fire Cruise Missiles on your camp, and attack with my 60 000 men.

Guy 2: Hmmm.... DAMN!

(Note both of these contain godmodding, but I am assuming they work all of this out on AIM of MSN)
Who comes out better?

The guy who hired from Example 1, or the guy who did from example 4.
Considering the fact there are plenty of mercenaries around, if you want to make your nation a prominent one, you should give plenty of details, find a cheap hiring price, and get a set of ethics.

IE: You only work for democracies.

This gives you a guarentee to get MORE work, as ethics gives trust. Also, provide history on your nation.

His 1:

My guys got trained in Nebraska.

History 2:

My men were all trained in a secret facility located in Nebraska, where they went extensive pain-acceptance programs, learnt how to fly certain planes, and also learnt how to defuse explosives.

Also, this particular company has been in 4 conflicts so far, including the Bong Bong War, the Jert Conflict, and the Gorin Battle. They are all veterans, and have an elite commander among them, Jipap Pog. He has commanded the regiment to victory 3 times, with a total loss of only 40 men in 4 battles.

I am so confused.

These "countries" we have don't have any money. Or troops. So how will any of this work?

Maybe I just don't have any imagination...

I might consider a discount depending on the situations.
OOC: i just guessed on the prices, but they are per year, so i thought as a yearly basis that sounded reasonable, considering, they want money for risking their lives, and the government wants something out of it

You could offer your services to nations who are already in a state of war. People being invaded are always glad for some help, and if you gave them special rates, as your mercs aren't in as much danger as before (Being in a city or on a hillside is much less dangerous than invading an enemy country, or stopping pirates...)

Also, people being invaded tend to have plenty of weapons, but not enough men where they need them. A few well-placed teams could cut enemy supply routes, kill officers...

Whereas invaders tend to have everything they need, defenders always have a shortage.

Also, include boats/copters for every so many teams they hire. A transport boat that comes with the merc makes everything easy, and they just have to write "I wire you 20 million dollars". No effort involved, no decking out their own guys. Furthermore, RP in any wars you get hired for, that way they dont have to put in any effort. Most people are willing to pay imaginary dollars for the easing of some effort for them..

That seems to be about my thoughts on the matter....
