Setting-A small farming collective in Gambia, where three rich families work together producing beef and milk:
Buubukes-Native family, owns large fields for raising cattle feed
Opopowoes-Native family, raises primarily meat cows
Al-Halibs-Bahraini family, raises mainly dairy cattle
other poorer families work for them, a total of around 100 people and 300 cows at any given moment.

The three families rely on each other, none venturing too far into another's domain (feed+slaughter, dairy, meat), and all splitting the profits from sales. Like most farmers, they used to grow tobacco and marijauna before cutdowns during the restructuring, but old habits die hard.

Spurred on by the events in Rome, a group of Hindus, on vacation from India and stuck in Gambia due to the lockdown (from the invasion) decided to save the cows from becoming delicious, juicy steak.

We need

Al-Halibs-Elephantum
Opopowes-
Buubukes-
Activists-RomeW

Other spots (not really neccessary, but add to the fun)

Local Tribes (Zulu style)-TLS
Townspeople-
Elephanti Military patrol-
Teh Ninjas Military patrol-Teh Ninjas
Whatever you can think of-

I'll be my military patrol.

I'll be the South Korean Hackers!

What, you can't have an RP without South Korean Hackers. They are everywhere!

I'll be the activists, but can they be connected to my activists in Rome? It'd create Earth II's version of PETA.

Could I be some Cottish meat buyers?

TN and Rome, ok, and they could be a big organization (worldwide)

Cotland, ok as well

TLS, unless your South Korean hackers have figured out how to hack cows (aside from with an axe or similar) then probably not the best idea

we still need the two other families though

Let's think, shall we?

South Koreans are geniuses(sp?). They can do anything. They have the worlds fastest internet! They have all these Car Factories! What's to stop them from making robot cows that they can sell to use to sabotage a families farm, mmmmm? South Koreans like money, and they could exchange their robot cows...for a price.

TLS, if you want to sabotage the farms, be the tribes, then you can play Zulu and throw spears at the cows, killing the cattle waiting for slaughter like cattle waiting for slaughter. or be the cows led by a south korean robo-cow

I want to be the PLFA.

I want to be the PLFA.
the activists? rome has them
we need families though

ooc-Im going to control all 3 families until we can get other rpers

ic-The Al-Halib patriarch, Mussab al-Halib, was making his daily walk around his property, checking the fences. Near the second pasture he found a spear, the kind used by the natives, stuck in the groud point up.

"Well, minus one cow from pasture two," he thought as he took the spear, he'd sell it when he went to the market next week, it wouldn't be even with the cow they took, but it was better than nothing.

As he finished the second pasture and began inspecting the third, he saw something coming in the distance. It wasn't the traders from Cotland, they weren't due until later in the week. It wasn't coming from Teh Ninjas, he could see the border from here, so what was it?

"Ah, well, we'll just have to see" he muttered to himself. He headed over to his secret stash. The plants were doing well, and they would make a small fortune in the market.

As he walked towards the center of the collective, he sat down outside his house, watching people work on the new tannery, due for completion in a couple of months. He hoped whatever it was that was coming got here soon, he was hungry.

OOC: Rome, it might be much more interesting if you created Earth II's version of ALF.

Last year, they broke into LSU's Animal Experimentation labs and destroyed over $1 million worth of equipment.

They're a strange, anarchist, pro-animal militant group who wear all black. Typically, they just stage organized attacks on people who conduct experiments on animals, and on others who commit acts of animal cruelty. Supposedly, they consider animals to be a higher chain of existence than humans.

Also, they're constantly being watched by the FBI.

Me, I just stick with the ASPCA.

OOC: I'll be the zulu dudes.

ALF eh...sounds more like what my Romans For the Earth (RFE) are like. I'll go with that.

PLFA=People's Liberal Freedom Army, a terrorist network secretly funded by the Brydog Government.

A LandRover came rolling down the road towards the cattle farm. Inside were three Cottish meat-buyers and a grey metal suitcase filled with $100-bills. They were a bit early, but they wanted first dibs on the best meat. As the LandRover approached the farm, it slowed down from its speed of 120 km/h to a measly 15 km/h. It was no use scaring the cows. They would experience enough terror in the meat factory. When the car stopped, the three men exited the car and walked over to the leader. They were all dressed in khaki shirts and pants, and had sunburns in their faces and arms. They were also sweating. It was HOT! The leader, George Walker, was a good friend of mr al-Halib.

"Hello mr al-Halib. How do you do? I'm sorry that we're early, but allow me introduce my associates. Pete Olson and Richard Wayne, meet mr al-Halib."

The two other men greeted the man respectfully.

"Look! White man! Keeeeeeeeeel!"

A group of angry African tribesmen jumped out of the bush and charged towards the group of whitemen.

OOC: Just shoot 'em or something.

"Oh shit! Zulus! Richard, get the damned rifle! Shoot them! They're after the money!" Pete yelled, running for cover behind the car.

Richard ran over to the LandRover and grabbed the old M1A1 paratrooper carbine lying in the back. Cocking it, he fired three rounds (1 in head, 2 in chest) in each Zulu save one who only got one round in the leg, (OOC: I hope this is ok with you TLS. If not, I'll delete it) killing those shot in the head instantly. The one that was wounded was grabbed by Richard and George and dragged to mr al-Halib.

"Damned natives. Come here and trying to take our money. It's a good thing you killed them Richard" Pete said while he crawled out from under the LandRover, still pale in the African sun.

"Well, they've been acting up lately, I lost another cow last night. Damn military hasn't been around much since they sent the troops to Bahrain, I heard they sent some of 'em out to Sicily too, we'll be lucky to see them around here at all." he sighed

"Best get inside in case they come back, do you want these alive or prepared?" He said, walking toward his porch.

"Oh, someone get rid of the bodies before they start to smell" he added before leading the Cots inside.

In Kuna, the Central Village of the Bignose Tribe

Warchief Bignose looked at his watch angrily. His contacts were late. Damn you, father. he thought to himself. If I had known you were actually the head of an African Tribe, I could have at least prepared myself... At that moment, Mugayabo, the head hunter(as in top hunter, not hunters who chop off heads), ran into the room. "Warchief! White-men with funny accents have gone to al-Halib house! They seek food!"

Paul(the first name of the Warchief) sighed and said, "Dammit! Why do all these people come here for meat!?!?! MEAT! They should have enough in their own damn countries!

Mugayabo, we will wait until our contacts get here to make our next move."

"Yes, Warchief!" saluted the hunter before he walked out the door. 30 minutes later, the Warchief heard an inhaler. Who could that be? he thought to himself. But then he realised who it was.

"Hello!" he said to the shadowy figures that had entered the room.

"I trust your flight from Seoul wasn't too bad."
