Back To The Drawing Board: The OOC Thread

I'll try something different here. This will be sort of a rough outline for a RP I'm beginning as soon as Sarzonia RPs its pullout from the Inkanan Civil War (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=405483). The IC thread, which has not been created yet, will be mostly closed, but if you really want in, you can TG me with a proposal and I'll think about it.

The pullout will be viewed as a disaster for the Sarzonian military and the majority of the blame will be placed on the Army. The House of Delegates (which is the upper chambre in Sarzonia) will call for hearings into the conduct of the war. Should he survive the war, Brigadier General Wesley Pinckney will be called to the stand, along with Colonel Mike Quinn, Army Chief Antonius Santius, and others.

What will result from the hearings is that recommendations made by Santius shortly after he came over from Sanctaphrax will come to the surface that his predecessor ignored that would have improved the Army's performance in the war. Pinckney and Quinn will also be scrutinised, but details about the goings on in the war will surface and they will more than likely exonerate Quinn. A large slate of reforms will result, from major reforms such as increased salaries and greater parity in spending on the Army, Air Force, and Navy, to minor ones like reverting to the customary rank order of major general being a higher rank than brigadier general.

Doomingsland has already suggested that one of his characters might send a satellite feed of testimony about Pinckney's conduct during the war. Another outcome I'm hoping for is the development of a training RP for my army. What I'm hoping this will do is to give me experience with ground combat RPing and give me a basis for the RP'd improvement of my army.

As for the Air Force, an infusion of new technology will be the result of the war, as it will be determined that the ISAF is behind Doomingsland in that regard.

OOC: So what part do I get to play here? Will I have any part because Santius is ex-Sanctaphrax, or do I just sit at the side and admire the pretty RPing? :p

Well, I don't think I've ever had my RPing described as being "pretty" before. :p

Now that the war thread (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=440102) against Pantera is in full swing and is referring to the reforms having already taken place, the IC thread when I create it will have to be somewhat of a flashback thread. It will include the elements listed above (hearings, resolutions, etc) and may include the actual training.

Though I admit it's going to be a bit of a challenge doing that RP as a *flashback*.

Please note, I'm going to request to have this thread's title changed to reflect the fact that it's now the OOC thread to this thread (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=443094).

Any comments, questions, etc. you would have for that thread should go here. Requests for involvement in the thread should still be TG'd. Thanks for your cooperation.

OOC: Sarz: got the TG back - posting my character's intro in the IC thread. I'll monitor this thread for info on how you may want me to proceed. All I've done is indicate General Ripper has been called to testify by the committee investigating "what went wrong."

BTW - I don't know your plans for the RP fully, but I see a possible angle for Harriet Levine - I've left her out for now, but . . . supporters in Doomingsland? A jail break, maybe not now but later, your call (and maybe Doomingsland's).

Sarz - TG me with anything you want me to specifically say or mention in my "opening statement" I'm working on a draft of it.

I just replied to your TG of Ripper's comments. I think that works ideally.

Ready for a closing statement Doom?

This is a brief outline of what's going to be added to the Sarzonian army after the reforms begin:

*Standard sidearm (which I'm in the beginning phases of working on)
*Standard SMG (which I've developed)
*Standard assault rifle (which I've chronicled)
*Standard battle rifle (which I've developed)
*Heavy artillery piece
*Standard amphibious assault vehicle
*Standard MBT
*Standard LSV/LT

There are still some things that will come about as a result of this thread, such as a training RP for the army and some other stuff. But at least now I have somewhat of a head start on this RP project.

Delgado felt his face taking on a hardened expression and his muscles tightenHe had no way of knowing that the report he would ghostwrite with a budding author would occupy a place on Borders bookshelves in the decades to follow. Right now, he had a far more shallow thought in mind.

Calgon take me away.


ROFL!!! :D

I've edited and finished the post I began now in the main thread - any questions for General Ripper?
Sarzonia

I'll probably post those tomorrow. :)
