I am sick and tired of this I.I. boredom. I have tried to start up so RPs but to no avail, and I am done with this. Everyone we have a really cool thing here and we shouldn't let it go. I had the urge to declare war on the world but that seemed noob like so here it goes.

I am opening the discussion up to all new RP ideas. Talk it up...cause I want this to be great.

Post here...and thank you!

Why not do a character RP, or a closed war?

Yeah we could do that but we need a premise. I tried to start one with RB over Shoobans, amongst other thing but it failed. Do you have any ideas?

For the character, you could freeform it or do something like the Festival of Fighters that's being run by Krioval.
For the war, why not just a war of expansion/conquest? If you have a hyper insane/aggressive leader go to war because someone either has a better tank/gun whatever or because of a really silly reason.

Read the "In Harems Way" thread.

Then read the "Come To Vastiva and Blow things Up! (OOC)" thread.

:D

I could go imperalist on people. I am not really for character RPs so sorry. But mayeb I could just start imperalism. But I need a willing nation...someone who wont ignore me when I do it.

I agree with you completely. I stopped playing for a good while because of the boredom on the forum. I can't even get enough people for a "find a princess thread" which I really needed..heh.

If you couldn't find someone to invade you could always host a wargame.
Also what tech are you?

Modern...u?

Well I am ealning toward the imperalistic idea...just because it would be a good way to up my RP stock and add some history to my nation.

But as I said I need a willing nation...who wont ignore me.

I could annex a puppet i guess.

Theao...what about annexing u?

I'm an every tech, I have copies in all tech levels.

See, that kind of makes me stray away from annexing u...maybe I should just annex somebody random and see if they go aloing with it.

since your MT you would be annexing my MT version of my nation.

I know but it confused people, but maybe...give me a couple minutes to think about it.

Okay Theao...I will do this...but I think, for logic purpose, you should move to my region or something. Than I have a semi-decent reason for it...sound good?

Perhaps a sort of World War II kind of RP, with a couple giant nations bent out to take over the world or something while smaller nations attempt to repel them

I like that. I would like to be on the allied-like power thing though...but I wouldn't mind going a bit evil. But I still need some nations to annex.

You can go a bit evil even if you are good. Most of the participating nations in World War II committed horrible atrocities (although the Holocaust and the atomic bomb were the worst)

As to region movement, I like the region I created and don't intend to leave it.
As to annexation you will be sticking your head in a hornets nest if/when you do.

See, if I do it than I don't want to have a million nations on my back...unless...grr...I am way out of ideas anymore cause the ones that I start always fail.

If you invade in a closed RP it would just be me and you, any/all of my allies would be kept out as I control all my allies.

Right, but I think that it should kind of be like a WWII thing where I start invading nations along with others and than some nations try (keyword) to stop us. What do you think about that. We could close it but we would need to let people in...

Why not do a sign up thread looking for players with a set number of people.

Well... I've got one going right now, that I'm tying every-which way, maybe you might nose around a bit, Nellis.
It's too bad you and Massive Ethiopians dropped the "Alaidos" storyline, it could have gone in some interesting directions...

Anyway, here's the "gateway" post:

If any freer nation than mine wants to, they can bump off my leader (or overthrow, whichever is more convienient) and help incite rebellion in my nation. (only for the MT part though, it'd be ancient beyond thought and time for the FT part) I've been wanting to lighten up my nation for a while, but had no excuse for it. The evil dictatorship has got to go.

Yes you'd have inside help (the minister of the military is a revolutionist). Yes it'd be a bugger, as the prime minister has a personal guard INCLUDING 5 Ohio class BMS (please don't ask... he's neurotic). There probably wouldn't be a lot of alliance trouble, but the WTO may try to get involved.

::goes back to lurk mode::

Your PM lives on a boat?

O_O wow it does read kinda like that lol. I meant either kill or overthrow. I also meant "Increase civil and political freedoms" instead of "Lighten up", but oh well lol.

As for the Ohios, it'd be like the secret service having a BMS.

I am up for it if you fuys are, but I am bad at making the RP sign up stuff so if someone else wants to do it than that would be great.

if you want you could annex or otherwise invade one of my puppets, or me, or do a terrorist RP, I know a Terrorist player looking for some action.

Well...I have a terrprost group and I am trying to get an RP off the ground if he would respond anytime soon. Lets give this a day and see what happend. PLus I may have something going with RB.

How about a war to free the Shoobans?

[OOC: Yes, I have returned... Not that anyone cares.]

I'm actually looking for someone to annex my nation. As I have withdrawn from the IADF, there should be no problem with international involvement, and annexation would make things interesting for me, and give me a reason to be involved - but not overly so – in I.I. again. In other words, someone big should telegram me or otherwise contact me on AIM (BrandoCommando3) and we can work things like reasoning out.

that'd mean going up against some of the big names.

that'd mean going up against some of the big names.

Well, I figure that someone with a population of 700 million+ could manage it - provided they have a well organized military. I wouldn't make things terribly easy, but I would be a relatively helpful annexed territory and would help in further wars that whoever annexed me would become involved in. All in all, I think you could reap a big benefit from this. I don't have many allies, so you aren’t looking at any huge sanctions, and I can keep everyone else out of it. I'd even be willing to be annexed by an Imperialist alliance. None come to mind right now, but I'm up for it if they're out there. Just clear it with me first.

I might be in for getting into this I.I. thing, given there were a decent story line and I had a slightly larger, more powerful nation. Unfortunately, I couldn't hope t o withstand any sort of war with my meagre 25,000 battle-ready fighting men. =\

It's always hard at first, but you'll manage. Try joining an alliance of some sort. Those are good ways to get you involved.

I meant the shooban liberation war idea

Yes, that would be difficult. You will likely have to start an alliance to manage it - if the idea even begins to be implimented.

How would I go about doing that? And, even if I did get into a war, wouldn't my nation end up being ripped to bits if I lost, and thus resulting in me not being able to use it anymore?

If you lose a war it sets it so you can be insurrectionist and rebel

No... Worst case scenario is you're annexed, but the alliance will likely prevent that from happening. You can also become involved in little things like peacekeeping missions.

Ah, so, just wondering, about how large should my fighting forces be before I enter a war? (I have 25,000 fighting men in the army now, sixty fighter-bombers that probably couldn't break the smell barrier, and five destroyers, a battleship, and two cruisers. I'm focused on the military right now.)

I just noticed how pathetic it was that I insulted my own air force.

Still, how would I go about finding an alliance that'll take a little guy like me?

I appreciate the fact that you don't godmode your military. Keep things small and don't get over-involved. Don't worry about loosing a little bit.

Your military size should depend on your policies and the funds available. Check thirdgeek.

You could go to war but only against new nations.
What's the "Smell barrier"?

You know, like the sound barrier? =) When planes break the speed of sound?

Well, I was making a joke that the planes in my airforce were so bad that they couldn't go faster than the speed of smell. A bad joke on my part, sorry.

Maybe I COULD go to war against newer nations. I could organize a small little backyard war with a friend of mine on here..eh-heh.

I thought you had just made a spelling error.
As to alliences, find a nation that you think is close to yours in ideology and ask them to be allies.

I would be keen for a military rp of some kind, I havent done any rping with this nation yet (as you can see by my post count) and have only done character rps with other nations.
This is a small country with 1.26billion ppl and spending about almost 4.3trillion on defence.
Its a capitalist country so ive always been thinking of a anti socialist campaign. But have a a meglomaniac dictator who would be happy to fight for any reason :D

I'd love to take part in a war, I can never find anybody decent to RP with (at least anybody who has time) these days. Attempting to Annex Tenarius is a bad, bad idea, but I have a few puppets you can always attempt to take. =)

I would refute that, my nation is but a baby compared to some of the long term nations here, but your defence spending isonly a 30th or so of mine. Big population but the low GDP doesnt help much with your spending. this is assuming you dont have any powerful allies ofcourse

The MAP is always looking for members, thats an alliance specifically for new nations, theres a link in my signature (The Mutual Aid Pact etc.)

It's a low GDP unless you take into the fact that my frozen RP stats give me about a 4:1 Currency-Dollar ratio, in which case my GDP jumps up quite a bit. The more important thing to note is that you don't need a high GDP to fight a purely defensive war. Another thing to note is the fact that I DO have very powerful allies, and quite a few of them. If threatened by multiple imperialist dogs, I wouldn't hesitate to request help from any/all of them.

If theres going to be a War RP im in. Ive been off nationstates for about a year but i have the time to RP again now and my trigger finger is ready to go.

Yeah this an idea that I am very much for. Care to speak in a different thread about it?

If everyone is so bored Strikebreakers can always use more RPers (preferably ones that post occasionally).

Strikebreakers, the war unlike any other. Businesses move to smash unions around and the unions push back. Who's in the right; are the unions militant and inefficient; or are businesses seeking profit and the obliteration of workers rights? In the end it doesn't matter; who wins matters. Choose your side and fight.[/I]

Um...sure why not. Would like to enter my region so that it is geographically easier? Oh and could I have some info about your nation...that would be useful.

Listen, I'm all for being a target nation. I've waited a while for a good thread to start up. I'm checking back later, so give me an answer if you think you could use me here. TG or post, I don't give a care.

Sure thing...but I am still kind off thinking about geogrpahic purposes (and maybe future RPs) if you would like to move to my region/continent that way it doesnt look like I invaded some random nation. Plus I would love to have some info about your nation that I can use thanks!

Hi there. I am also willing to be a target nation. Perhaps you all decide you want to replace my semi-evil, terrorist supporting, nuclear-war-starting, imperialist, government. As a grave threat to the world, you all decide that the Council of Ministers (the Emperor is dead, and I am too lazy to replace him) must die. You also decide you want to annex some of my islands. And so you embark on an invasion. I'll move to whatever region you want, and it could start out as a territorial dispute gone wrong.

I don't think moving to your region would work, but I'm pretty good at pissing people off in RL and IC, so a way would be found. My nation's mostly a naval/space power, but we can fight on the ground. We've got one coast line, and the rest is bordered by other nations. We use the post-modern tech on earth and obviously future in space. If you want, I can try to get you a map of my country for later reference. Tell me if any of this helps.

(For an idea, a nation, maybe me maybe someone else, could violate your territorial waters, and yoyu could try a retaliatory invasion from there, or something like that, whatever.)

Actually, I'm (not the guy who started the thread) impressed by the idea. And because you are imperialistic and evil and junk, region changing wouldn't at all be needed since it's a global matter. Even if this isn't used, I think we should all keep this one in mind.

See the reason I am want to do the region switch is so I can use the we need more land excuse...it would be odd (for all purpose)if I tried to imperalize on another continent first when I have prime land in my region, but hey I will go for it, but ti would just be temporarly (or permanent if you want)

Fluffy...I would love to have you be a target...but you are a larger nation so I might enlist the add of one of my friends...unless I am in turmoil...I will tg you the password to me region...

Ok, when you T-gram me the password, I will jump ships.

Some other ideas:

Perhaps to achieve a strategic advantage you can employ subterfuge before the conflict. You try killing my leaders. You send in plenty of spies. You put ELINT gathering ships off my coast. You hire terrorist groups in my nation. You send in propaganda. Then, when you declare war, my leaders start being shot at, my capital is bombed by terrorists, and you damage the command-and-control structure of my army.
