NationStates Jolt Archive

ooc:
I have made this RP for players who have read and understand the basics of role playing but want some experience before entering anything major. I will be here to give advise on how to improve and other experienced nations are welcome to join me in this.

This RP will be set in the Future Tech (FT) as a space battle. There is one planet in the system inhabitable, but uninhabited. There will be little politics involved in starting this war but you are more than welcome to find diplomatic solutions to your differences.

Rules:
1) Be nice.
2) No GM.
3) Don't delete or edit your posts (except for typos, This way others can learn from them too.)
4) 8-14 ships each.
5) Have fun!

Ic:
Tempers on the 2 sides had been rising for quite a while. Each had made "mistakes" when dealing with the other nation, transports had been harassed because they "looked like pirates", treaties had been streached to their limits, diplomats were late because of "bad traffic". Similar things had been done to inconvenience the other side for years. No one really knows why the 2 sides dislike each other, but one thing is for sure, they would both do anything possible to annoy the other. Then things began to escalate and conflicts became more violent and hateful. Then 'team A' discovered 'team B's plan to invade their territory, and their hidden fleet in a neutral border sector. This was the final straw, team A would lead an assault on Exion's position in that sector.

ooc: tips so far
# 1 Don't use chat speek
# 2 Proof read your posts
# 3 stay away from CAPS
# 4 Try for a quality of writing that would get an "A+" in english class
# 5 "paint a picture" with your words, make it intresting to others (even if they arn't playing)
# 6 specify who you are talking to/about
# 7 don't announce that you are singing off
# 8 out with your F***ing profanity.
# 9 develop individual characters.
# 10 Give other RPers something to reply to in your posts

Sounds like a great idea. TG me the details.

I'd like to warn you, I have no experience in wars and military strategy.

By the way, juts wondering: What does AMW mean?

And will you be participating?

Sorry for the triple post, my mistake.

I haven't decided if I will participate. Experiance is not nessary. Those are the details (I know, not much, but this is for practce, not story line).

OOC: I would like to enter this however can team A and B have names lol, and just alittle more information on the situation these teams are in i need to know alittle more to know how im going to join

Are we allowed to use our own tech?
Also how many ships are we allowed, Ie: 1 top ship(main/command) 8 medium and 20-30 escorts/small

ooc:
I don't know that you are new Theao, but okay. As far as ships go, 8-14 sounds good. Yes they can have names, the first person in each team may name them. I'll update the situation to be a bit more involved.

I'm not going to be participating, I was just trying to ask a few questions people might not have thought of. I will be watching though.

OOC: Sweet once i see the situation i will join one of the teams but until then i will wait ^_^

Tip number one: Capitolize when you use 'I'.

The Kiharxis Fleet other know as 12th Exion Squadron was dispatched to get ready to invade Team A. 4 Capital Ships exited from hyperspace hovering inside the endless bounds of space following these ships 4 battle ships, and 2 carriers. The 4 battle ships thrusted forth in a crusing motion getting infront of the capital ships. It was easily noticable that they was getting into a A Formation the 4 Battle Ships formed a wedge 2 on each side as well as the capital ships following behind them. The 2 ship carriers got in between the V creating the A formation. With preperations done the ships began to cruise soundly waiting for orders.

OOC: Thats going to be my first post.. i nick named team B as Exion. Personally I think I used the word ship to much but non the less im in a rush so i will most likely post tomorrow

ooc: not bad.
Tip # 2: Revise before you post. (Spelling, grammer...)
I think "ship carriers" should just be "carriers", but that's just me. Also "which held small space crafts" isn't really necessary.
You don't need to title all of your posts either.

OOC: Alright thanks for the tips. I hope this makes me into a better war rper lol but for now time to sleep so until tomorrow.

The Starships continued its path scaning the area for any hostiles. A loud voice on a intercom which seemed to be Captain Litral yelled " No hostiles has been found as of yet but lets continue searching the area! Deploy 10 scouts to look amoung any area we have not yet scouted!" With that said 10 scouts quickly thrusted out of the carriers scattering themselves among the unexplored areas. Turning on the ECCM the scouts continued to look for any cloaked ships or visable ones within the sector.

OOC: Finally a decent start in a beginners RP. I have been looking at all of those out there and this has the best begining for a first-timers RP. I will be watching you on here to possible use in another thread down the road.

OOC: Thanks alot i've been trying to get better at things like this. I wanna start at least rping more then 3 Paras but thats down the road once somthing happens I guess.

ooc: Tip # 2 again: Proof read your posts.
You have a good start, now if only you had someone to RP with....

Edit: If no one else joins in a day or 2, I'll be team B.

bump
:mad: :sniper:

All the Aerian ships were cloaked using the latest technology, therefore they had gone unnoticed by the other ships. The Aerian ships began to closely watch the ships that had came to the planet. The Aerians were heavily armed with battleships, having 8 total at the planet for security reasons. They had 2 capital ships and carriers as well.

Alerted by the radio scanners that The Kiharxis were preparing to invade, General Mayday went to find Prime Minister Klaxon.

"Sir, those Kiharxis b******s are moving on that planet we wanted. They have hidden a fleet in Sector BN1 and are preparing to move out.”

“What!!!”, Klaxon cried, “Get the Squadron SQUID 1 out there immediately. WE cannot allow them the SATISFACTION of beating US. OUR dignity is at STAKE”.

OOC: Klaxon liked using capitols.

OCC: I have named my people the Aerians whom are under rule of Empress Aeris. I'm completely new to this too...so who knows how this will turn out? Good I hope!! :)

OCC: Shall I be a member of your team, or shall I be the other team?

"MAYDAY!!! Call UP Empress Aeris and see if SHE wants to JOIN in the FUN", Klaxon continued. "WE will send those Kiharxis RUNNING back home to MUMMY!!!"

OCC: It is up to you Missytoe18.

General Mayday,
I offer my wonderful ships and crew to fight for this planet.
Empress Aeris

OCC: Ok, as you can see, I've decided to be on your team. I'll be back tomorrow for more, time for bed now! :D

ooc:
Tip # 3 use less CAPS.
Tip # 4 Try for a quality of writing that would get an "A+" in english class, take time to organise your ideas and put them together better.
Tip # 5 "paint a picture" with your words, make it intresting to others (even if they arn't playing)
Tip # 6 specify who you are talking to/about, stay away from "you" and "them".
Tip # 7 don't announce that you are singing off, it's not a chat room, it's a forum.
cloaked using the latest technology, therefore they had gone unnoticed by the other ships. This could be concidered GM, try to be more carefull.

What did I say about edits? Unless you are fixing spelling, grammer, etc... please don't. Others can learn from your mistakes.

Of course you can join, anyone at any time can join.

From the distance, the heavily cloaked ships in the Asteroid field see what appears to be a few specks flying towards them. However, the commanders on the ships dismissed them to be commets, and moved onto other more pressing issues. Little did those foolish commanders know a fleet of 14 battle cruisers was approaching them!

The small fleet made sure not to go too fast, or make too much noise, so they didnt attract attention. Hours passed by, and the fleet stationed in the asteroid belt, poised for an assault, was within 100 miles of the Genoslovakian Intergalactic Battlecruiser Fleet (GIBF). This gave the GIBF enough time to charge their Ion Cannons, which was one of the most powerful laser beams in existance. The commanders of the Genoslovakian fleet filled with euphoric glee as the moment of truth neared closer and closer.

That is until something terrible went wrong...

Before the GIBF knew what hit them, their battle cruisers were being invaded!

"Aww, how the fuck did they find us?!" Exclaimed Lieutenant Lemmor of the GIBF-7 cruiser.

Coincidentially, a transmission from the HQ came in. The techy told the commanders that their radar jamming devices were faulty, and that they would have to dispose of the enemy soldiers.

OOC: Hows that sound for a start.

Lt. Shell of Squadron SQUID 1 edged the nose of his Octojet out from the asteroid cloud. Build to withstand impact from anything short of a supernova, the Octojet made the perfect vehicle for recognisance.

A bright flash in the horizon momentarily blinded him. Engaging his super-dark-glasses, he peered into the distance. Ships!

Just then his radio hissed into life. “SQ-007 to you copy.” It was General Mayday. “Have you seen any sign of those Kiharxis? The radio scanners say they are out there somewhere but the radars have not been able to pick up any signs. I fear that they have stealth.”

“Sir. I have just seen battle cruisers in the middle of the asteroid belt of unknown markings. Several have since imploded. No signs of any other ships. Looks like it might have been caused by a malfunction”, answered Shell, peering out his windscreen.

“Well keep you eyes peeled son. We do not want those Kiharxis to sneak up on us do we now. Mayday out.”

Shell heaved a sigh of relief. Talking to General Mayday always made him think of the time he was caught stealing apples from his neighbours orchard. Reaching for a can of C-Soda, he leaned back and consoled himself for a long wait.

OOC:

"Aww, how the fuck did they find us?!" Exclaimed Lieutenant Lemmor of the GIBF-7 cruiser.

This may just be me talking but I dont like the use of profanity in RPs, but thats just me. :rolleyes: I dont like it to begin with and who knows the ages of eveyone on here? But thats my two cents :)

Anyways carry on it is good so far I would have to say .

The 12th Exion Squadron along with the 10 scouts. They crews was getting weary and weary until they found somthing... There in that clustered asteroid spot, blocking the direct route toward the planet.
"Friends of ours?" One of the navigators whispered to himself

There was a small fleet of battle curisers not to far way from their location within the astroid field.

" Sir it seems we have intercepted their transmission from HQ allow me to put it on the view screen."

With that said the captain nodded slightly sitting in his chair at ease. A unfamiliar face strong up on a holographic terminal and began to speak.

" This is the GIBF we are currently being attacked by the enemy. Our jamining devices has gone faulty and we have been boarded by enemy troops we urge you to send some ships to help our situation. " The message kept repeating as the captain began to think. If he was to help the GIBF the location of this squadron might be exposed to enemy attacks Or...He would try to increase the signature of the enemy ships.

"All hands get in preperation for battle but stick to low speeds. And as for the scouts order them to go for the asteroids to fire beacons at every moving object this will surely brighten up our cloak enemy even is our ECCM cant."

The scouts blasted from the sectors they was in into the known region of asteroids they began deploying beacons all over the area ignoring the GIBF for now.

Captain Litral sent his own message to the small fleet. " We have you current location but we need to know what type of assitance you need. Do you have enough marines to combat the invaders?

OOC: How do I participate? My nation is made of a race, and we're all nomadic, gathering in groups in areas (we're wide-spread)

ooc:
the commanders on the ships dismissed them to be commets, and moved onto other more pressing issues. This too is on the fine line of GM.

Lofturior, just post.

Tip # 8 out with your F***ing profanity.
Over all, not bad. Very much improved.

The main fleet of ships stoped in its tracks as the scouts did their work. Captain Litral didnt want to be detected just because a friendly was in need. The signature of his ship decreased dramaticly as the fleet paused to a firm halt. While waiting the crew wasn't at rest continuing to scout the area they used their vision to detect any cloaked ships. Any dis balance in the space around them would quickly be reported.

Bump.

OOC: I'm hardly a newbie, but I'd love to get my feet wet in NS RPing again, though I am an MT nation. At the very least I'll stick around and offer tips and pointers to the newbies, and thanks to Kazecistan for starting a good Beginners RP. You're so kind to the NationStates population. ^_^

ooc: Your help is appreciated.
Thanks to Kazecistan for starting a good Beginners RP. You're so kind to the NationStates population.
Thank you.

I would really like to have a sort of non-serious RPing forum. It would be like International Incidents, but just fights and wars for fun. No actual terms of war or anything. Still no godmoding, of course, but if one nation wants to leave, they do, and the thread is locked or something.

ooc: Sorry, but why is this here? I do agree, it would be nice to have another forum in which things like this could go, things that don't 'really' happen, but are good for practice. I don't know how likely this is though. :rolleyes:

ooc: Alrighty, back on topic now.

Bump bump bump! (( Where did everyone go x.x ))

Just outside XCAT-1 Research Station

Beep, beep, beep. Dr. Nora Watson ignored the frantic noises of her handcom and slowly lifted a tiny orange, purple and pink beetle from amongst the ground cover. Beep, beep, beep. Placing the beetle in a specimen jar she sighed and answered her com. “Yes, what is it?”

“Dr. Watson, Mayday here. There has been a hostile force discovered in nearby space. You and your team will be required to leave XCAT-1 now. The evacuation team lead by Major Fry will be there soon. ETA 30 minutes.”

“You have to be joking. Our work here has barely begun,” answered Nora, wiping sweat from her brow. “What you ask is impossible. We cannot be expected to evacuate in half and hour. Never mind that is took me three years to get the grant to come out here.”

“Now Nora,” Mayday begun.

“Do not Nora me. I am a grown woman now and nothing you or Mum can say will stop me. You can jolly well tell Major Fish-Fry to hightail it back to the shrimp farm as I am not leaving. Give Mum my love. Goodbye.” As if I did not have enough on my plate with my own father trying to match make, she muttered, replacing her handcom in its pouch. Oh well, best I get back to the base and deal with that young upstart of a major.

Somewhere in Sector BN1

Captain Star of the Princess Kara, flagship of the Cephlapods Navy, took a long draught of his icy cold beer. Technically he ran a dry ship, but I am the captain. If I cannot, who will, he thought.

Waiting seemed to be all he had been doing for the last year or so. Waiting for his ship to be painted, waiting for his wife to give birth, waiting for his crew to be found (after the six month long shore leave) and now waiting for a bit of a lieutenant to give him the order to move. Now he was at the edge of known space, in a place only his navigators knew, waiting for a fleet that no one could see and to cap things off, his Playstation 10 had broken down and needed a spare part that could not be found.

*sigh* I was better off when I was Captain of that exploration and survey ship. Then at least I was on the move. He thought, taking another draught of his beer, he stared off into space, his thoughts wandering.

The Hazgharr flag ship dropped out of the warp, followed within seconds by the battleships and destroyers. Each one of the ships made of living organisms, working in unison to keep the crews alive. Instantly the ships start scanning the area, using a cross of nature and science to find any careless target.

Slowly, the fleet advances towards the only inhabitable planet in the system. Inside the ships, ground troops prepare to invade the planet and wipe out any sign of life, their goal to leave the planet a barren rock, void of life.

Seeming to float aimlessly, a tiny spheroid no larger than a pebble peered out at the stars from its localized atmosphere bubble. Its single eye was unblinking, and might've asonished any intelligent being, had they the capability to dissect it. But no-one yet had been able to deconstruct a Gizray, as this device was known amongst the alchemists and technologists of the Dominion of Forbath. They tended to dissolve into generalized proteins and poetic concepts as soon as they were exposed to large amounts of alpha waves, or contained artificially. 1/32 of a second ago, this little bio-device had popped through a miniature "phase portcullis" which had sent it vast distances from its original location, some interstellar observation post at the Seminary of Intelligence in the Dominion's capitol. Momentarily, the Gizray began to maneuver its dull gray body through the void, pushing off a swell of gravity here, a tiny pocket of debris there. Its movements were not unlike a small meteroid tossed about by the inherent gravitic ripples caused by all the large ships in the area. Its evidently random trajectory was completely misleading, which was the point. The Gizray did not have manuevering thrusters as such, but utilized a limited and focused sort of psionics, in the form of thin telekinetic tendrils. These invisible tendrils stretched from the little device's spheroid body for great yards, snatching anything of solidity and repelling the Gizray away from it.

In this way, though it may've seemed to move slowly, the Gizray closed vast distances in two or three "strides". Right now, this miniature unmanned observer was closing quickly on what it interpretted, with its limited intelligence, as a 'great hub-bub'. Soon, it began to 'see' and even 'feel' the conflict between the great battleships and sleak vessels as they lit up the perpetual night of space. The Gizray immediately began broadcasting its sensations back to the Dominion of Forbath's Grand Library, where great banks of 'Gnons' would process and interpret the data, along with their human operators.

[OOC: Ha-HA! The Threadkiller strikes again! See what happens when I touch a thread that I've typed more than a character's name in? It craps out! Incredible! Of course, it takes years of practice. I've been doing this at the Jedi Council Forums since, like 1999. Seriously, do a word search for "Forbath" and see who the last one was to post in three consecutive topics for hours on end. It's...it's really something.]

ooc:
Tip # 10 Give other RPers something to reply to in your posts, if you don't the thread will die.
Don't post that Forbath, you really will kill it if you say such things. Give people time to respond. Your wacky consepts are hard to RP with, not impossable, but hard.

OOC: Finally, I got some time to reply to this thread! Also, I would like another nation to RP the invader ships with me.

The alarms blazed red, and the annoying REEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAARRROOOOOOOOOOOO sound blazed throughout all of the Genoslovakian Fleets ships. All of the ships crew, even the cooks and nurses, took arms in the form of whatever they could find, to fight off the menace which was invading their ship.

CRASH! Cruiser G-001's hull had just been breached by the enemy ships, and they were loading soldiers on board to attempt to seize control of the fleet.

Gunfire could be heard throught every ship on the fleet. Blood splattered the walls everywhere as laser beams, potatoes, knives, bullets, and any other weapons both sides could salvage flew across every ship at dangerous speeds!

After a couple of hours passsed by, the victors of this bloody had been decided.

"This is Commander Smith, over. We've seized control of ships G-001 through G-003. It looks like the other ones were too much for our special ops squad to handle. Smith, over and out"


For Supreme General Vladimir, things werent looking too good, but all hope had not been lost for the GBCF....

ooc: Are you RPing a battle between you and yourself?
dangerous speeds! No '!' is needed.
Although living ships are possable, they are hard to RP without getting people angry. Be carefull.

[OOC: Aye aye cap'n]

One of the Hazgharr battleships launches a living transport ship towards one of the Genoslovakian ships. On board were an incredible array of alien soldiers, from smaller Runts standing just over 4 feet tall, armed with simple lasers and organic weapons, to 7 foot tall Warriors, carrying advanced acid firing organisms and deadly bone swords. Heavy weapons troops, standing on four legs with cannons mounted on their backs, sitting between the Runts and the Warriors.

The transport latches onto the Genoslovakian ship and the Hazgharr Sergeant gives the order. Acid starts melting the hull of the enemy ship and the troops invade.

Mr Spoot Captain of the Civilian Space Cruises had heard of the recent outbreak of hostilities and had taken his small fleet of ex-military frigates and had decided to join the ranks of Team A, all non-essential compartments had been shut down in order for the weapons and shields to be re-activated, more crew members had been hired but the original crews of the 8 frigates were left untouched, after much tweaking the fleet left dry-dock into the perils of space.

(OOC: this good?)

ooc:
Spooty, yes it's good in content. I would, however, have added something to respond to for the other players.
Acid starts melting the hull of the enemy ship and the troops invade.
Close to GM again, they may have had sheilding.

OOC: Ok its hard for me to tell whos on what team specificly i want to know about. Geno and Altazan. For Geno i need to know what team the invaders are on...

ooc: Yes, let's make a list of the teams.

ooc: Are you RPing a battle between you and yourself?
No '!' is needed.
Although living ships are possable, they are hard to RP without getting people angry. Be carefull.
[OOC: I thought it would be an interesting tehcnique to get people to RP with me, but meh.

Also, my fleet is on Team A, and the enemy fleet is on Team B. Whoever wants to can feel free to claim control of my enemy fleet, it'd be alot more interesting to RRP with someone else.]

OOC: What's the composition of your enemy fleet, Genoslovakia? ie. Did you determine that or should I just fly by ear?

the Spoot fleet flew for a while before the enemy found them, a frigate had appeared behind the small fleet which quickly attempted to turn, the frigate had opened fire on the lead ship aboard which Mr Spoot was frantically giving orders "fire you fools, dammit Mr Davros why are your shields offline? Put them back up this instant!" Mr Davros' ship was in trouble, the weapons had been wired wrong and this had caused a rather nasty power surge, sheilds were offline and most other systems were failing, soon the ship was dead in the water, and Mr Spoots ship was taking still more fire, the fleet was still turning, the speed of the civilian engines was painful to watch, Miss Erika's ship managed to turn fully first and she immeadiatly opened fire with the ship's weak chainguns, most of the bullets flew off into space but a good few hit and soon the lone ship was joined by 8 of her comrades the joint effort of all the chainguns was enough to make the enemy ship flee, Mr Spoot decided not to persue and instead put Mr Davros ship in tow and went of towards the nearest shipyard for repairs.

OOC: What's the composition of your enemy fleet, Genoslovakia? ie. Did you determine that or should I just fly by ear?

The enemy fleet has 4 ships, since they were a special ops squad.
