Is anyone interested in a open war RP?
I would prefer beginners only, but experienced RPers are welcome to comment (or possibly take part for guidance).

OOC: I'd be willing to take part in the guidance aspect.

Same here, I would be willing to be a "guider".

I'd like to take part, if that's ok. I'm a copmlete n00b in the RP part of things...

Cool. Praetonia and Dimmimar are welcome to help in guidance. We need some more inexperienced players, though.

And Kzuu Mai, from what I know, 'n00b' is an insult. Are you intending to insult yourself?

Not really, no. Just thought it best explained my position ;)...anyway, can I join?

OOC: I'd like to participate in this RP as well. I am a beginner at this as well.

I'd also like to sign up for my puppets, Yoomaras (a socialist dictatorship) and Salamari (a democracy).

I am a semi-democratic liberal nation ('semi' meaning I am President-for-life, though elected)

Thank you for considering my request.

PS: I am willing to fight with my puppets.

I would like to join this rp too... i havn't rped much and i think this'll help me alot.

Sure. You can join Kzuu Mai. As can History lovers & Nocdi.

However, I'm not sure about puppets, History lovers. Might they cause problems as one person is controlling three nations? (Question for Praetonia/Dimmimar)

Can I join in?

One experienced teacher right here! If you want that is.

Well, I would certainly like to join. Besides needing to practice the rp aspect, my nation needs a few good wars to start it of with a bang, ne?

I'll go in as a n00b.

Im in

I haven't ever RP'ed a war before, so I'd like to join in.

I'll play. I have not much RP war experience here on NS, but have RPed in the real world and am willing to give this a go. Alright if i join?

Armandian Cheese, Syrana, New Grunz, Cheeser12 & Shinbreakers are all in.

Sanctaphrax, your help would be greatly appreciated.
If you or either of the other two experienced players (Praetonia & Dimmimar) notice any well-known bad RPers or Godmodders trying to take part, tell us.

What is your opinion on the use of puppets, Sanctaphrax?

Puppets? I don't see how two nations will help someone learn to RP better. In a lot of cases on NS, there is a lot of hostility to people who try and involve puppets to strengthen their side. Its called Puppeteering or Puppet Wanking I believe, and is generally frowned upon. I don't see any obvious advantages to playing with puppets, but if someone can provide a convincing argument, I'll listen.

Cheers mate. Any idea of a basic storyline to the war yet?

Lets RP already

I will need training because my War RP lacks realism and detail. I'll join

(i'll take part as a begginner)

Generally the use of puppets is frowned upon, like Sancataphrax said. It's quite hard to rp with puppets as well, it requires lots of logging in and logging out. Also, that nation controlling the puppets can use them to help further his war effort, thus making it unfairly balanced in that persons favour.

I would suggest disallowing the use of puppets. It's up to you though....

Hmmm, although Ive been role playing for around a year or so as several different nations (Hamanistan, Canan, Soi-Disant) I am in a new nation. So what would that make me? Stuck in Limbo?

Anyway, if you'll take me I would like to join this roleplay, but are these just wargames? And where will this war take place?

Lets RP already
Lets wait, tommorow we'll start. We may well get more new Rpers.

Thanks, Sanctaphrax.
So, NO puppet nations (sorry, History lovers).

Right, we now have 14 nations.

Praetonia, Dimmimar & Sanctaphrax as the experienced players
Kzuu Mai, History lovers, Nocdi, Armandian Cheese, Syrana, New Grunz, Cheeser12, Shinbreakers, Roman Republic & NimTheScout as new players.

No more players please. All participants check back tomorrow for RP ideas/planning. If you have any ideas for the RP, post them and we can decide on the causes for the war.
If you can state your nations ruling style (communist, democracy, dictatorship) that might help.

Finally, MT or FT?
I'm now signing out for the night, will be back tomorrow.

I'd like to begin here. I've RP'ed before, though not with this type of thing. Sign me up please

I'd be willing to act as a neutral guider and/or moderator for this RP if you wish another one.

MT. If it becomes FT, I will be of zero use. MT is generally the starting point, although a lot of nations decide to become FT after a while. If opinion is split, we can always do two RP's. FT and MT. 12:00 over in Israel, i'm out folks, night.

I'm an Iron-Fist Consumerist state...and what are FT and MT?

Soooo, does that mean I was rejected?

THOUGH IVE BEEN ON NS for ages ive never RP'G so lets see what its like :sniper:

Thanks a lot for letting me in.

My puppets will live without it.

Though, however, for arguments sake (or 'devil's advocate') let me say that my puppet Yoomaras is very different ideologically and I once tried to RP a war between them (didn't work out, was stuck on WWI tech as I am an amateur historian and in history class, just the period before I started the beginning of the RP (during lunch at my school) we studied WWI.)

Once again, thank you.

For the record, this is my basic geography:

All plains, except a few mountains near the center of the main island
Three Islands, one small to the north of the main island, one small to the east of the main island.
My nation-state has nine different 'Autonomous Sections' or states.
Name of Section: Capital of Section
New Anatolia: New Constantinople (also capital of country)
New Baltic: New Athens-Sparta
New Latium: Nova Roma
New Pennsylvania: Philiadelphia
Nova Brittania: Boston-Cambridge
Old Elasmus: Stalintown (leftover from old Communist government)
New Normandy: New Ste. Mere Eglise
New Arabia: New Damascus (North Island)
New Mesopotamia: New Baghdad (East Island)

I'm an Iron-Fist Consumerist state...and what are FT and MT?
FT and MT are Future-Tech and Modern-Tech.

Correct Cheeser12.
Also, what he meant by goverment type wasn't the description on your nation page but what type your government is. In effect, you make it up according to your beliefs. Mine, is a complete democracy with elections and all. It could be a monarchy, ruled by a royal family, it could be a dictatorship, ruled by one person with no elections.
Here's some info about Sanctaphrax:
Its almost landlocked, the only exit by sea is a channel, about the width of a river.
From the sea, the nearest city is 70 miles away from the bay.
There are five major cities, River-Rise, Lake Landing, New Undertown, Old Undertown, New Sanctaphrax, and.... you guessed it, Old Sanctaphrax.
All weapons are Israeli-manufactured, from my storefront, Israeli Arms Storefront, where nations under 50m get a 20% discount.


I'll add in more later. Also, I will post a war scenario later.

It'll be interesting to see this scenario.

Here's a piece on Shinbreakers:

Shinbreakers is an independant monarchy, on an Austrailia sized island seperate from mainland continents. The land itself has slowly transformed into a sprawling mass of cities, military barracks, firing ranges and ore refinerys.

The people are ruled rather oppresively, following the disbanding of the democratic government, because, in the King's words, "I said so." The population are spread across the country's two main cities, Archronia and Mordia, where all are inducted into the army at age 16. Our weapon systems are German-made, as are our military vehicles and other equipment.

Okay, good ways to start wars....


uhh civil war in nation X, all the democratic people against the dictatorial...

Slaves...

Drugs...

Piracy...

The women of nation Y are sexier than ours....

etc...



a few ive seen over the year and a half ive been a member of NS...

Or you could ahve a couple of the larger nations going for world dominance and everyone else against them...

Right, MT (2004) it is.

Free Eagles is a military state in the Sulamaran Commonwealth (So the correct way to refer to our citizens is Sulamaran), which is a democracy with an elected government, but also has a symbolic royal family (similar to Great Britain).

Free Eagles is a large region (2/3 size of Australia) and its Northern and Eastern borders are sea, while Southern and Western borders are landlocked. Mountains in SW province.
Main cities: Salobra (NE, capital), Novaya (W), Cararra (E, port), Todera (SE) & Karos (SW).
The military is a curious mix of US, Soviet & European equipment (depending on who was selling hardware at the time), with a healthy amount of our own designs thrown in as well.

Should we allow the use of WMDs (esp. nuclear) in the war?

My opinion is no, but I'm willing to listen to others.

NimTheScout is a left wing nation with a population of 519 million people. It's an island with a small island to its direct west around 50 miles away.

NimTheScout is a modern tech nation. The capital is Tunoles. The emperor is Xilore Nim

Should we allow the use of WMDs (esp. nuclear) in the war?

My opinion is no, but I'm willing to listen to others.

WMD's should not be allowed, especially with beginners in the thread. Teach them from the beginning that WMD's should not be actively used in NationStates.

Should we allow the use of WMDs (esp. nuclear) in the war?
My opinion is no, but I'm willing to listen to others.
Can I be honest?
In my opinion, these days on NS, many good conflicts are ruined by nukes. I may be alone, but I consider nukes a form of godmodding. Besides, most of these guys are under two months, too young to have nukes. We shouldn't teach new guys to use nukes.

OOC:
Although WMD are generally accepted, they ruin good RP's....

I think that the 2 big nations v atleast 12 little nations would be good. We would need another nation to help the little nations though....

I could always help the little nations, my military isn't nowhere near as tough as most large nations, but I could donate just enough to keep it fairly even.

I would like to try this, the only real war Rp I've done is the rebellion in my own country that only one nation got involved once to donate F-18's to the rebels, but now since they have no assistance the rebellions main Military strength was destroy at the battle and terrible rout of Angelis. So I still have 9 army groups, (fairly purchased I mus say and I have a list of my military forces currently. My nation is somewhat large, but it has a protectorate of nations under it's rule, I could be the bad guy, or whatever.

I did say it was probably just me. We're three nations, me you and Prae.

I'm a beginner, although I've been on NationStates along time, I'm a frequent Region Crasher, I thought I'd try RPing.
So if you're setting up a beginner Rp, I'd like to take part.

All this Role Playing is good, but its hardly ever a fair objective battle without any procedures and compulsory in game mechanics. Check out my staging for a RP war game. It actually takes in to account the situations of the nation's choice of options and how the results are affected by it.

NOW HERE IS A REAL STRATEGY ROLE PLAYED WAR GAME

I am also a n00b at RP, but I would like to try it as well.

Because I like war.

I dont like the 2 / 3 big nations vs 12 little nations... it'll get us too involved in the RP when we're really just there to help. It should be 6 vs 6 with us just helping their RP skills. Some points already touched on:

Puppets

Using puppets just to benefit your nation will probably be ignored, unless you RP it properly. Eg. I myself have an Empire consisting of puppets, HOWEVER the taking and colonisation of each part of this empire has been RPed in depth, and I wouldnt just throw millions of colonial troops into the fray. Just like with the British Empire, Colonial troops would only be mobolised in a World War type situation, which Ive not yet had to face.

WMDs

Again, these will be ignored unless fired for the right reasons. Also think about whether they will actually achieve what you want. A nuclear war will not allow you to win a war, it just means that your opponent will lose as well... people generally dont like to lose their nations.

A little more about my government and history:

My nation is very Progressive/Liberal, and is a semi-democratic socialism.
Mostly like US with checks and balances, but the President (currently Puller Lunphi) remains in his post for life, unless he resigns.

We used to have a Soviet-controlled Communist government, so we still use old Soviet technology. AK-47s and AK-74s mostly, but we have also M14 rifles from a resistance movement funded by the United States before independence from Soviet control.

We hate bigotry (possibly a good reason for war), and especially hate Nazism. We truly value democracy, and we despise communist dictatorships.

Our economy is down because of excessive military funding for our all-volunteer army of almost ten million, including navy and air force.

by now its probably 8 V 8.
Anyways, any racist, bigoted, nazi nations out there? I'd call in Decisive Action but he's busy taking over the world.
If so then that could be a good reason for war.

OK, here goes with Kzuu Mai...relatively large nation (area and population). Not an island, but I have a relatively long coast, most of which is because of a large peninsula. The capital, Mai Jun City, is inland on the nations largest river, at the foot of the mountains in the west. The south is humid tropical rainforest and the north is desert.

Ruled by a corrupt, basically evil dictator (Lii Dan Kzuu), who tells everyone he saved them from the monarchy, but the real power is held by the big businesses. The population are basically held in slavery. Not much racism. Compulsory military service (oh, by the way, should I go and buy weapons now?)

Lets play now.

Lets play now.

Somebody's impatient...

That's several points cleared up.
No puppets, No WMDs, only the small nations will take part (I think it was 5 vs 6, but that was yesterday, it's more now) with the larger nations just playing a small part (maybe just one actually taking part in the RP to set an example of good RPing).

Does anyone wish to volunteer to be invaded or should we just choose someone? A communist/fascist government or a dictatorship would be a good invader, do we have any of those? How about you, Kzuu Mai?

17 nations now. 8 vs 9

noob here that wants to go to war :sniper: :mp5: :gundge:

That makes 18.

Yep, one evil dictatorship reporting for duty! I'll do the invading, no problem...except I don't know if I need to buy weapons or not?

Do you need weapons for an invasion? I'd say yes, you normally do.;)
Or maybe the other way around.
Maybe if someone chooses to invade him because of the corrupt regime, but half the people stick up for him because its violating national sovereignty and the other half go and invade?

OK, I'm off to buy some weapons...and yes, feel free to invade me...

You'll need some weapons, yeah. If you want I can volunteer to be Kzuu Mai's mentor in this matter if you wish. I'm fairly experienced in roleplaying and writing (3 years nonstop, and I've been around and been watching roleplayers for my entire life).

Count me in!

I'd love to join! It'll be fun!

Oh, for more information about me, just go here:

http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=keloon

Kzuu Mai, you could always just develop to weapons yourself, or 'buy' them from the US, Soviet Union or other RL nations, without actually having to RP buying them. It makes sense that if your country has a military, it will have developed or bought weapons as it formed.

I like the idea of invading Kzuu Mai to eliminate a corrupt, evil dictatorship and liberate the citizens, although unfortunately it sounds a lot like what the Americans did to Iraq last year, and personally I didn't approve of that. Anyway... *[prepares to invade]*

Does anyone know why all the volunteers keep refering to themselves as noobs/n00bs? Do they realise they are insulting themselves or are they just ignorant?

You'll need some weapons, yeah. If you want I can volunteer to be Kzuu Mai's mentor in this matter if you wish. I'm fairly experienced in roleplaying and writing (3 years nonstop, and I've been around and been watching roleplayers for my entire life).
That would be great, thanks! As you can probably (certainly) tell from my posts, I'm not very good at this.

Also, Free Eagles, I can just assume my country has some weapons? Excellent, I was about to buy millions and millions of guns for my soldiers...

Im a n00b and proud of it!

I think they're just trying to get the point across that they're new.

I am ready to fight for democracy, freedom, liberty, and social capitalism.

Remember: I HAVE USSR BASED TECH. THAT DOES NOT MEAN I AM COMMUNIST OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.
I'm ready to start, but I can only be on weekdays from 7:15-8:30 PM (2:15-3:30 PM EST)GMT and during the evening EST. Weekends possibly. Depends on the amount of homework I have to do.

Well, I think you can. If I'm wrong, can somebody correct me because I suddenly need to buy an awful lot of weaponry.

That's fair, History lovers, I have my A-level work to do. And every so often I forget to check my nation for a day or two so don't worry if I disappear. I'll probably be back by the next day.

[News Flash] .....

.......

"Today we were greeted with a formal statement from the Ministry of Defence; 'The Shinbreakers military is indeed mobilising, and preparing to move to join a coalition of forces in an attempt to destabilise the corrupt dictatorship of the so-called peoples' hero Lii Dan Kzuu.' From reports to this news station, we are led to believe peacekeeping forces have been withdrawn from Shinbreakers' other military conquests, and are believed to have rejoined the main bulk of the armed forces in preparation for this fiercly contested action. It sounds to me like yet another case like Mandroc V....."

OOC: I figured someone had to kick this off sometime, so why not stirring up some public unrest among the peoples...................... :D

OOC Ill join in, Ive only ever RP'd one other war. Dont let the number of posts fool you. I spend most of my time in General.

The Pallawish Army would like to rp in this war. We have never acctually engaged in warfare as it all ended in peace.

That would be great, thanks! As you can probably (certainly) tell from my posts, I'm not very good at this.

Also, Free Eagles, I can just assume my country has some weapons? Excellent, I was about to buy millions and millions of guns for my soldiers...

Great! When do we start the IC thread? Please place a link to it in this thread when it starts.

Might the actual war be better in a separate thread and keep this one for OOC discussions and sign-ups?

IC:

FENS (Free Eagles News Service) Broadcast

Today the world learns of yet another civil rights atrocity in Kzuu Mai. It has been reported by an as yet unidentified source that around thirty leading members of local religious groups have been detained indefinitely, with no reason was given for the arrests. In addition to these most recent events, the persecution of a minority population in the north of the country continues.

It has been suggested that the prisoners have been moved to the notorious Mai Jun City detention centre, which is rumoured to be host to regular executions of its detainees.

In response to this, and the earlier statement from the Shinbreakers Government, Secretary of Defence David Andersen has issued the following statement:

"The government of Free Eagles condemns the actions of Lii Dan Kzuu, the leader of Kzuu Mai, and demands the immediate release of all prisoners, political or otherwise, that are being held without charge or fair trial for their crimes. In addition, we expect a formal statement of apology issued and the persecution of all minority populations to cease. If these are not forthcoming, the Free Eaglean government will have no choice but to take military action."

Since this announcement, we have learned that several key military formations have begun mobilizing their units for transit to a location more suited for possible action against Kzuu Mai.

And now, back to today's other stories...

I think it better if we create other thread for the IC stuff.

Keep this one for signups, OOC discussion, etc.

This would keep both threads uncluttered.

I am a liberator, if not obvious.

i am not new, but i will help with the commenting. My nation could help, but it probably is not begginner enough-ish.

[OOC-If you all don't mind, I'll act as a fair and impartial mediator. That is, the referee for this. If you have a tech argument, disagree about IC or OOC matters, or need a consensus on something, I am more then willing to provide a bit of experienced coaching for this.

Because step one to a great RP is finding some way to agree on things, be it AIM or, even better, a referee.

I'd like to learn how to RP. I'm very new even to the NS world. So if this is to teach us how to do it I'd love to join.

I would like to join

I've already joined, but just reminding you that I haven't given up on this. Alright, I'll side with the evil dictators...Here are some facts on my nation...
\Official Name: The Holy Empire Of Armandian Cheese
Shorthand: Armandian Cheese

Background:
Armandian Cheese was originally a backwater confederation of nomadic tribes before an invasion of more advanced Muslim forces placed the nation under the rule of the Caliphate. However, the Muslims treated the nation as a second class colony. Over the centuries, disgruntlement grew, fueled by a sharp increase in Roman Catholicism. Under the leadership of Armand Domalewski, a lowly County Supervisor, the peoples of the country overthrew their Muslim rulers. The civil war lasted twenty years, and it transformed Armand from a democratic visionary to a cynical dictator. Once in power, he merged his Roman Catholicism with his love of cheese to form a new "Cheese Christian" religion which kept most tenants of the previous faith but taught that cheese was a divine substance. He exercised absolute power over his people, veering towards the hard right in most issues, with the notable exception of alternative fuels. Through Armand's free market policies and his powerful rule, a stable economic nation called "The Holy Empire Of Armandian Cheese" emerged, which consisted of the mainland and a small offshore colony run by Armand's minions. (As the name signifies) It has become a vocal member in the World Anti-Communist League, and fought terrorism in the nations of Holy Paradise, Haven14, and many others. The country faced its first major struggle when Armand engaged in a foolish war with the super power Anagonia, which left his nation's capital smoldering. However, through deft negotiation, he managed to save his country from further losses. The most recent operations the country has been involved in have been helping Atla Mia Sando stabilize the region of Mia, and helping Emperor Nero Trotsky of Nerotika regain his throne. The Emperor is highly contemplating more conquests, as to heighten Armandian Cheese's power and prestige.
Location:
Landlocked in Middle Eastern/European border

Colonies: The Protectorate Of Armand's Minions

Climate: Completely covered with snow, but strangely warm and fertile

Government Type: Theocratic Military Dictatorship

Head of State: Holy Emperor Armand Domalewski

Policies:
Economic: Aggressive capitalism, with virtually no limits to the free-market.
The government promotes business interests above personal ones at all time.
Social:The government provides no welfare, and attempts to promote morality and punish immorality at all times.
Civil: Few civil rights exist; Armand controls all. However, due to the nation's prosperity, few care.
Foreign: Aggressively anti-terrorist (especially Atheistic and Islamic), and anti-Communist. Tries to spread influence by sending military aid, and is usually willing to help a friend in need. (And vanquish a foe in need of that, as well.) Usually does not interfere with foreign nations' economic policies, although it does care about their social ones. Rumors swirl about of bombers dropping anti-love spray on unsuspecting nations, however.
Military: Has an all-volunteer force, except in emergency. Usually tries to maintain quality-over quantity, but this measure usually does not pull through in times of conscription. The military specializes in Biological warfare, with it's infamous "Jewels Of The Sky" aerial squadron being the most infamous. One fission nuclear weapon has been said to have been developed, and fusion developments are underway.

This RP is not to teach people how to RP, it is a chance for beginners to take part in one with experienced RPers watching over to make sure it is done well.
If you want to learn how to RP, then read the Stickies.

Goa-uld, this RP is MT. If you are going to RP as the goa-uld then you're FT, sorry. If you're not RPing as the goa-uld, then fine, join in.

Armandian Cheese, no nukes or biochem weapons.

Why does nobody side with the good guys?

I'd like to join

As I said earlier, any are welcome to join, but give a few details about your nation (capital, physical geography, leader) and which side you wish to join.

Would any of the experienced RPers like to comment on our progress so far?

*ooc/*

Howdy,

The CCS is looking to pop in on the side of the liberators. :D Logically I'd like an ally to be supporting that would oblige me to commit, any volunteers?

Official Name: The Confederacy of Codian States
Shorthand: CCS, C.C.S.

The Confederacy of Codian States is an interior country among the Dirty, Dirty South (South America), nearly landlocked except for a 73-mile stretch of ocean coastland that was won from the Republic of Gasoline and Petroleum in a match of tennis twenty years ago. Mostly flat and rugged, this land is dominated by the Fritzan mountains in the south-and-west, comprising much of a border with friendly neighbor Iraqistanistan.

The climate is temperate, gradually becoming colder as one approaches the south. Although it supports a moderate coffee and corn crop, most CCS food is produced in neighboring allied countries. CCS is rich in uranium and fossil fuels, which power a very strong economy.

The Government is one of Democratic Socialism, headed by Kingfisher (Kingf.) Rudolph Kazootie. The administration strives to become an economic power, but not at the price of social equality.

Having recently overhauled its ailing military, the CCS is only now overcoming the infrastructure growing pains of substantial and compulsory armed forces. This new measure of military might is hoped to spread Codian influence for liberty and social equality, and puts CCS in a new position of becoming a player in the world theater. Relying mainly on proven United States military technology and methods, the Confederacy of Codian States posesses no weapons of mass destruction, and decries their use and existence. The Honored and Capable General Royston T. Pulitzer controls the military with little oversight.

You can count my Country in.

Gelfland- It's already looking like developing into a full-blown multi-national war. Eight nations and rising.

CCS- Any support would be helpful, especially if it can react quickly. I think my navy is about to become the war's first casualty. Eeep.

Not quite, Free Eagles...lol I killed off one of my pilots so I could have that honour ;) . But your navy will be finished once I've taken care of History Lovers' MiGs.

True, but technically he wasn't the casualty of war. He had an engine malfunction while running from a missile (which btw I didn't know I had fired).

I believe that the first pilot shot down in the combat between your Kt-12s and History Lovers' MiG-19s was the first casualty (so it may have been you).

My Navy = First Major Casualty

I have a question: is this an actual RP war, or just a practice RP war?
Because I'm already particpating in a war that will require a lot of troops.

This is just for RP beginers to get involved in and to let them practice. And can whoever proposed this start an IC thread and post the URL here.

Hey Neo Cannen. You're one of my pupils from the last Newb RP aren't you? Ya turned out well lad. Well done!:p
There already is an IC thread.

Ah. Hadn't thought of that one, Cheeser12. Maybe it should just be a practice RP rather an a real one, until we all know what we are doing.

Although, if you are in another war, why are you taking part in this one (Beginners only)? Beginners don't usually get involved in many things at once, they start off slowly.

Sorry, Neo Cannen, jumped to conclusions. If Sanctaphrax says you're okay, then I'm willing to find out. Join in.

And would somebody tell me what TAG means.

I'll take the side of the good guys. :P Now who are the good guys?

Although, if you are in another war, why are you taking part in this one (Beginners only)? Beginners don't usually get involved in many things at once, they start off slowly.
Bah. Maybe I will just back out: I think I get the basic idea of war anyway. As long as people inform me if my numbers are a bit too high or too low I think I'll be fine.

Armandian Cheese, no nukes or biochem weapons.

Why does nobody side with the good guys?
I understand nukes, but why not small scale chemical weapons? A few hundred casualties here and there won't be godmodding...Also, if there's a lack of good guys, I guess I'll join them...

Armandian Cheese- The Allies will condemn the use of chemical weapons, because they are not necessary for victory. Use of WMDs always makes the user look like a bad guy, and their support quickly fades.

P3X1299- The Allies are Free Eagles, Shinbreakers, History Lovers, Nocdi, NimTheScout, (Codian States?). The Kzuu Mai Axis consists of Kzuu Mai, Largent, New Grunz, Anarchic Squirrels 4.
We would like some details about your country first, though.

Sorry. Counted wrong. More allies than dictators. Jump in on whichever side you want.

If you're looking for details about my country, click the Factbook (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7368932#post7368932) link in my signature. I really couldn't see my government getting involved but a certain corporation might.

Alright, I'll refrain from WMD's.

just commenting. i've read through the IC thread and i must say that this is a really good RP war. most of the wars i see in the forum usually involve lots of arguing over what is/isn't fair, hence my lack of posts, and i find that it really turns many players off to RP'ing wars. what eventually happens is that they get more caught up on arguing than actually RP'ing the war to completion and they really kill the thread that way. i'm glad to see that there are nations out there who are willing to keep the arguing to a minimun and really focus on the RP. i give some credit to those nations guiding them along in this, you guys really are turning the small nations into great RP'ers. sorry if this sounds stupid but i had to say it.

Thanks! Yes, I'm enjoying my first RP a lot...

I'll say thanks too. I think it's great fun. Where's the fun (and therefore the point) in arguing?

Hey, just as an assesment...How am I Rping? Am I doing it well?

Oops. Posted as a puppet. Sorry.

Ok guys, first of all let me say how good the quality of this RP hs been. Second, I started a school of RPing. This could be extremely useful to any of you who are interested. Also Prae and.... Dim, if you want to teach, it would be welcome.

Feel free to join in, and ask if you want more info.

What’s up guys? Im new here so take it easy on me

The Commonwealth of Pheanix is looking for an ally to help out in this war, any takers?

The Commonwealth is a relatively small country in southwestern Europe (think Portugal) in a rather large peninsula that is share with a friendly neighboring country. The terrain is mostly flats and hills with the exception of large mountains in the south, at the base of which the capital city of New Pheanix is located under its protective shadow.

It has a tropical climate most of the time especially in the various small islands that are part of its territory. The thriving economy of the Commonwealth is based almost solely on large agricultural sector that utilizes the great climate year round although the industrial sectors are growing with each year. The current Prime Minister is Erick Bret, and although elections has been outlawed the populace still gets to choose who goes to the Parliament from various political parties in the country.

The military has been training and modernizing its weapons and vehicles for the past few years enabling them to successfully incorporate and adapt the technology bought from the Russians and Americans. They have even modified and added many things of their own devise to the mix creating a rather unique blend of military equipment. The Great General Asakura sits as the Chief of the Armed Forces overseeing deployment of the armed forces as a whole and ensure that they are prepare for anything and everything.

Pheanix, you're a little late for this one, but after we finish it, we may start another one for some other nations to take part. Keep checking back okay?
If you don't want to do that, why not start your own one? It's what I did.

Nah I guess I'll wait wanna get teh basics nailed down before I start my own one. (Dont have any idea for one either)
