OC: Loegyr means lost lands, this is what the ancient Britains called the land ruled by the Saxons in the 5th-6th century. As all other names to do with Great Britain where taken I decided to use this rather obscure name. In my RP world NO COUNTRIES ARE CONTROLLED BY ANY NATIONSTATE. So I don't want people yelling at me for using their country. I've played before but my internet broke down and I lost my old country (pop: 500mill) so I have had some RP experience.

The esscence of this thread is that I will role play situations invovling Loegyr, for example a terroist attack. I will RP both the Loegyr and terroist side untill another nation wants to step in and take over the enemy side. Loegyr on the world map is obviously Great Britain and I will only use other real life nations that other players can take over.

London, 1st January 2004

The cabinet was meeting at 10 Downing Street for the Prime Ministers traditional new year address. They filed into the conference room aides by their side and steaming tea cups in their hands, mostly they talked about the prospects for the coming year and the PM's new plans for the country. The significant cabinet personalties were:

Jonathan Harrington, PM
Harold Bishop, Forgein Secretary
James Drake, Home Secretary
Francais Nelson, Commenwealth Secretary
Robert Snape, Defence Secretary
William Jaggers, Trade and Industry Secretary
Jill Harper, Education Secretary

As the various ministers made themselves comfortable and opened up the thick file of information infront of them the PM walked out leaving in his wake a gaggle of aides and advisors. The cabinet stood and only sat when the PM gestured they should get down to business. After the rustle of chairs had subsided the PM began:
''This year we shall make a difference, a difference to the lives of the UK's citizens, a difference to the people who live in poverty around the world, a difference to the people out there who can not defend themselves. A lasting impression that will add to Great Britains good name around the world. There will be perils along the way and doubtlessly we shall be opposed but it is my intention that once again Britain will be Great for all the good reasons. We shall forge new ties with new countries and strengthen our ties with our old age allies. This is the goal I set before you, I for one want to be remebered as the person who changed Britain for the good and made it back into the very image of respectibility, honesty and strength it once was. The folders infront of you outline my new policies, a better NHS, a stronger intelligence network, a bigger police force and a state pension for all. I hope you share these ambitions and will help me realise them''

The rest of the meeting was taken up with questions and quries about the 'New beginning' as the press were beginning to call it.

OC- 1st RP coming soon.

Dont want to be a smart alec but as Im quite interested in this part of history I know for a fact that it is spelt "Lloegyr". Sorry to piss on your parade ;)

OC- Bugger, totally missed that, oh well too late now

The Kenyan Incident

10th January

The British training camp at Meru in Kenya had been in operation for years; the camp had been downsized since the ‘options for change’ white paper. It could only accommodate one battalion of troops at a time but gave the British Army invaluable desert training conditions. It was staffed full time by the 20 man training team and the basic combat service support arms needed to give the resident battalion a comfortable life. Overall there were about 100 men at the base all year round. On the 2nd of January the Irish Guards had deployed for desert training, commanded by Lt Col Paddy Hogan. The light role battalion had moved to Kenya in three stages first the admin personnel had moved in to set up the logistics followed by the heavy equipment and then the men themselves.
GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) had intercepted an e-mail from the Kenyan Foreign Minister to a Chieftain of the Kikuyu tribe that was the controlling ethnic group in Kenya. The e-mail contained hints at a coup d’etat against the President who was trying to limit the influence of the Kikuyu tribe. Normally the government would not mind about a change of power in an African country, but this was different there was 700 British troops in the country who were in harms way. Unfortunately the e-mail was only forwarded to the director of GCHQ a week later due to the tremendous amount of electronic messages that travel across the world each day.

17th January

The Director of GCHQ was a man named Mike D’Arcy, the report from a young intelligence analyst about a rumoured coup in Kenya fell on his desk at 8am, and he opened the mail before going on to the in-house reports. D’Arcy realised immediately that the info was solid and had the smell of a coup, he sent Flash traffic to the chairman of JIC and the directors of MI5 and MI6 describing the present situation.
What he did not know was the coup was far more advanced than what he suspected, Martin Tojo the Foreign minister had been conspiring with the Kikuyu tribe for a year and all was in place for the coup to take place. The Kikuyu dominated armed forces were ready to revolt in favour of the coup and the president was blissfully unaware of the situation. Tojo savoured the moment, in less than 24 hours he would be the new president.
