Government support of terrorist tactics against rebels [OPEN; ATTN: ALL]

Guffingford

An OOC Prologue
Intro

Yes this is it. A chance for players to invade Guffingford. Now, as everybody knows forced fun ain't no fun so let's come to the case. From the players who sign-up here can he picked as a candidate to invade me. Me and only me will choose from them to ensure only the best are selected. It will be a limited number, and that's all I allow. However, non-invading nations are free to whatever they want except supporting the attackers directly. With direct support I mean cash, ammunition, soldiers etc. Indirect support such as spying - has to be well roleplayed. Something that doesn't borderlines on reading secret IC and covering it up - or using spy satellites, observation balloons. Main thing is, there will be losers in this war. I don't care if it's me, and I don't care if it's anyone else.

Powerwankers will be ignored. People who come here just to get even for all the things I done don't produce good stories. If you come in, blow off your steam from all your bodily openings while stomping on all competition just to say "I destroyed Guffingford" will be laughed at, whipped and thrown into the lion pit. New nations who have not a single grasp of knowledge about Guffingford just being here for a quick kill will not be allowed in. The rules may sound very nasty but hey, the old days of freeform mild regulated RP are over. Live with it. Hell, even if you RP here with a single character I won't be bothered. As long as you play well.

Acceptable:

Everything considered modern tech;
Story writing;
Character RP;
Able to accept constructive criticism;
Able to accept losses means being able to lose.

Not acceptable:

Gaining advantage through means such as puppetwanking;
Dozens alliances;
Calling in random allies just for the hell of it;
Future tech;
Magic and all associated fantasy things;
Last but not least: no earth crap. No E2. No E3. No whatever Earth X that has popped up when I was on holiday or too intoxicated to check out NationStates. You are a NationState, that means you cannot be any of the 193 USA recognized nations of earth and other territories. You are a country your own imagination has created. This is not a duplicate of one of the 193 countries. Thus it is 100% original. I will accept nothing less. I am so fucking sick and tired of the earths this is the only way I play unless I say otherwise.

History

Still reading? You never cease to amaze me. Well, the story is as follows: Me and Sarzonia had a RP some time ago where I played Theohuanacu. The nation is a big jungle much like Holy Panooly but there are differences. First of all it's a socialist left leaning government which makes it the only left nation in a sea of right wingers. The nation is a democracy in dictatorial Imperial Armies. Two things, but most importantly, it's soaked in oil. Rebels there fight Guffingfordian troops and pirates of Panoolian origin who work for the Guffingfordian government as mercenaries, because the Theohuanacu rebel network is gaining significant advantages. The Guffingfordian administration therefore has decided to support some armed factions to terrorize innocent Theohuanacu families to destroy the morale of the rebels. Of course, none of this news could be kept within borders so now it spreads like wildfire around the globe. You can consider this part RPed, because I said in the end of that thread the Theohuanacu resistance is strong and growing stronger. Want to know more about Theohuanacu? TG me and I'll hook you up on some more information.

Cast of Characters of Guffingford

These are the main characters I will be using in this RP. Because I'm still a child in the body of an adult I don't like any of these dying. Capture them or let 'em run, just don't let anything permanent happen to them. I wrote many RPs where they are the main figures, and they're important to Guffingford. Your cooperation is appreciated, thanks.

Mr Blair Munroe - AKA Blair Manson, named after Charles Manson
Notorious pirate of Panoolian origin started working for the Guffingfordian homeland defence in the late sixties. The typical rolemodel of a crazed Panoolian who kills, pillages and burns down villages for cold hard cash.

Fleet Commander Maynard Blouff - AKA The Naval Dictator
A respected and decorated sea marshall, the fleet commander Blouff has a dark side. One you don't see at cocktail parties and other naval galas. In charge of major gold, cigaratte and booze smuggling operations, as well as a financer of large black antique markets, Blouff is the toughest opponent.

Captain Lorgan Vimes - AKA The Trickster
Another pirate captain of the Guffingfordian navy. A skilled seafarer, a brilliant tactician but a weakness for gold and other precious metals. Uses his logistical fleet for the illegal import of blood diamonds from Angola and other African nations.

Captain Max Merriweather Dafydd - AKA Foulweather Dafydd
A criminal in a uniform. Max was a typical mobster when he was recruited into the navy by nobody less than Lorgan Vimes after he saved Lorgan's life by shooting a few holes in some shady figures who tried to rip-deal poor Lorgan. Dafydd was promised fast promotion, and he appeared to be quite an interesting and clever captain. His alcohol addiction has stopped him of becoming a Fleet Commander.

Leonard Ynsson, Minister of Defence
Leonard Ynsson made his way all the way to the top from a mere Captain of the Guffingfordian navy. Once a smuggler and quite a nasty and cruel pirate, he redeemed his ways in the wars against The Upper Congo by leading his troops to victory time and time again. Mr Ynsson has a darker side: many swear he killed a more popular candidate just to make him minister. Under his rule military spending went through the roof.

Paul Kruger, President of Guffingford
The mysterious president of Guffingford is rarely seen, but many say he's one of the best leaders this nation ever had. He's the one who issues public statements, decrees and proclamations. He likes being called president but he's just the millionth tin pot dictator Guffingford has witnessed.

Mr Retief Gooshen
Mr Retief Gooshen is the liberal leader of the Gooshenite Freestate located in the heartland of Guffingford. Pro civil rights, anti-dictatorship but powerless against the other freestates. Gooshen is a bastion of homosexual people, alternative lifestyles and other cultures deemed "unlawful" by Hoogenbosch. Stauch nationalism and Hooglander solidarity make this a very strange state. Don't kid yourself: the people who have taken refuge in Gooshen are likely to kill any foreign, non-Guffingfordian invader who dares to set foot in their regional capital. Idiotic as it may sound, it's highly possible they will ally themselves with the government that tried to kill them rather than to live free in another country.

Captain Archibald Bloomsburry
Panoolian by blood, this is the only non-naval freebooter that roams through Guffingfordian waters. On his ship, the Black Angus (a vessel from Stevid hijacked by his mad crew) he rules the southern seas and the Straits of Lapincuta.

In short...

That's it! From now I'll just wait and see who's interested and from there I'll start writing the IC bit. Remember, I am not saying I won't take allies in. Me vs all, 2 vs 4... Who knows. At least this thread has more potential than the average II thread.

Another victory.

Looks interesting, may i ask permission to join? if so would a Reichmarshall and several Kreigsmarines (both are of the Kraven Secret Police) be ok for some character RP, not sure in what context, perhaps a bit of counter ops, i would commit a tactical force to the scenario, but my nation is currently in a state of turmoil, and a Reichmarshal and a few Kreigsmarines is all i can spare

http://www.diggerhistory.info/images/uniforms/uniform-ss_officer-ss-sentry.gif

the officer in the middle is a Riechmarshal, the other two are Kreigsmarines, (please excuse the blatant nazism of the uniforms, im not a nazi, its just these uniforms portray the Idea i have of the Kraven Secret police)
Kriegorgrad
06-07-2005, 16:43
I'm interested in this, I wouldn't mind getting into some bloody close-quarter fights in the Panoolian jungles. However, I'd need a motive - I'm not sure that wanting the oil would be enough as Kriegorgrad's government isn't logical like that.

I look forward to some good RP if I'm considered though.

I'm better at character RPs, but war is fun too.None of the above characters will be controled by anyone but me. Non debatable, sorry. Now, I can safely say judging from Sarzonia's and Kriegorgrads RP history they will be allowed in no questions asked. I don't want to discriminate here, don't get me wrong but the RP standards of the newer players are... questionable and since they aren't in the know of Guffingford as a political/military power it's hard to randomly throw yourself in the first war you encounter.

Thanks for your interest! Concremo, while I appreciate your willingness to be part of this, how can I say this. Guffingford has a very complex history and honestly I think small nations will just get caught in the crossfire. But here we reach the crux: small nations are reluctant to join major conflicts because that means they'll just be used as cannon fodder. Once again, it's nice to see you join but the whole thing I'm doing here is just the climax of many, many things happened months before you joined.

So now we have,

Now, when The Parthians and Sarzonia have sorted their business, we can get this thing rolling.

Hey,

Now then...I have no idea whether I constitute a 'New Player' according to you Guff, but I'd be interested in being a supporting nation for either Sarzonia or Krieg...I can supply troops, supplies, weapons, and my intelligence RP's are getting much better, I think.

Plus my nation has a somewhat 'Vested Interest' in seeing you attacked, to gain revenge. Plus its nice to see a quality RP come along now.

Anyhoo, thats me applying to be a Supporting Nation...

Thanks

ThanksYou qualify as someone who knows Guffingford well enough for this RP.

Approved.
Iuthia
08-07-2005, 15:57
I wouldn't have much interest in actively being involved in any conflict involving Guffingford as Iuthia doesn't really have any hostility towards them... however there is still the matter that we do have an embassy we may have to vacate (though this is subject to whatever your OOC stance is on the whole thing as you've given contradictory statements as to whether there is or isn't a embassy in there somewhere).

All things concidered, I may have a small part in this... perhaps roleplaying Iuthian news (and view point) as well as basically RPing the removal of Iuthians from the local embassy (assuming it exists). While you may not like my OOC, at the very least we know I'm a confident RPer and I'm not about to make this any more complex other then to add another angle to the story.

But ultimately this comes down to you really; I've not been RPing much recently due to real life so I can probably afford to miss this.
Guffingford
09-07-2005, 17:56
OOC: Well I'm not planning to let this become something major. In fact, it'd be fun to lose this one. Finally I can change my nation without a cliched one sided conflict such as a civil war. I want it to mark monumental changes in Guffingford, for the better or worse. Anyway, tomorrow I'll start writing the first IC parts and post them.

Arright, Since this is the OOC thread, I guess my plans can be posted here, Me being spec ops, I'd hpefully like to infiltrate by helo, from 2 or 3 supporting carriers in international waters, and hopefully hook up with some form of resistance group(Democratic prefferred) and help train, and supply guerilla fighters, and hopefully create an area from where allied paratroopers can land partially undetected (Using the good ole' smoke and mirrors: make it look like they're attacking here, but when military shows up they're attacking somewhere else...) and hopefully a few good dog fights in the air, to guard the "bombers". In the end, I hope to lose maybe 1/5-1/2 of the spec ops group(maybe 55 or so people in 5 teams...

Soviet Bloc
13-07-2005, 03:56
I think I've figured out what I'm going to do... I'll deploy a group of special forces who's primary mission is basically observation with a secondary mission to eliminate key personnel targets [on the basis of pirates who have been recently interrupting Soviet Bloc commercial shipping in the region] if they present themselves.

Otherwise, they will have no interest in assisting Guffingford, or any of the attackers, but what I'm looking forward to happening is that they'll get caught in the middle [just marred into a hell-hole] which may bring other ARSB forces into the fray, depending on what happens. So that's what its looking like right now, I'll post in a bit with some command banter and the spec. ops. mission lifting off and nearing the nation [which will give anyone else the chance to see them/intercept them; who knows, my intervention may be over before we even get there].

Whoever said I wanted the easy way? Anyways, low altitude flying helicopters with no Insignia, and that have engines that sound like jets, and are very disorienting, all they would need to do is find a good Hilly coastal area to fly through, anyways I only want about 50-100 of the 150 men to make it, so where would be good?
Guffingford
14-07-2005, 18:55
Hilly coastline? Good question...

Terrain

As explained in the first part, Guffingford is a mountainous, overall dry nation. Desertification is the biggest threat to the outlying farming communities, and extensive irrigation projects have stopped further expansion of the deserts. Destructive landuse and mismanagement continue to disturb well thought out plans of crop rotation, however this is improving thanks to many government projects.

The coasts are pretty flat, deserted beaches. Remember, the whole nation is a fanatically militarized nation, go gaining entrance will be difficult. If I were you, I'd try the empty beaches in Oos Seeland. See map for location.

Good luck!
