I Can Only Image (The OOC Thread)
Opening Statement
I doubt many of you even know who I am. The name Jagada isn't as known, by far, to names like Automagfreek, The Macabees, or Sarzonia. But don't let that stop you from getting invovled in this RP. As some of you may have seen, I actually had a thread called "I Can Only Image" but sadly it died due to a lack of time and extremely rusty RP skills. Thats another reason why I've decided to open this up.
Basically, I'm going from a humble, quiet, peace loving, religious democracy-to-to tyrannical, inquisitor flinging, highly organized, Empire. A radical change isn't it?
The basic plot behind this is the once humbler Highest Minister, Hunter Norris, whom many believed wouldn't hurt a fly. Turns out he is somewhat unstable. To the point where he is dissolving the House of Peasants and House of Morality (aka: Congress).
He's already imprisoned Field Marshall York, whom is charged with assault. He has already imprisoned some other high ranking members of the party which beat his party in the Congressonal Elections, the Liberty Party. However, an unusal figure has arisen to challange Norris, from a distance. His name is Remington Pierce and he claims to be a direct decendant of Lord Jagada himself.
Now this is where you come in. Remington's claim is flawed due that historically Lord Jagada never had any children. Yet Remington keeps the claim up. This also means that you too could make a similar claim to the 'throne'. Or support Remington's claim...or even go to the extreme and allow Norris to become the dictator. Its your choice.
Do realize though if you do win the war and place your 'heir' on the throne, this doesn't make Jagada your colony, or puppet state, or lackie. It just means that now our two nations are tied together. It will also increase the chances of me rushing to assist you in war. It will also mean that in Character RPs involving your placed Emperor will involve some reference to your nation.
Sadly though, I want to keep this limited, so that I don't have twelve different armies marching across my nations and nuclear weapons being tossed around. I would also perfer serious players, not ones that just walk in guns blazing.
I do hope that in the future, once this RP is finished, I will be able to start more RPs and become active in ones.

Anti-Spartan Policy
I recently spoke with a former NS player, whom didn't get involved in rping on this site for two reasons: first, he just didn't think this was for him, second he said nearly everyones soldiers acted like Spartans.
Don't get me wrong, if you've Roleplayed your soldiers in dozens of RPs, then yes they do deserve the rank of Spartan-like. Though the biggest problem I've had is that everyone seems to think their soldiers are Modern-Day Spartans and they can fight like savage wolves. So I'd perfer that soldier fighting be kept realistic, please.
An example is if your soldiers have their supplies cut, and are hiding the mountains. They aren't exactly going to jump up and start fighting like a man whos has a full stomach, good equipment, and rest. Your men are going to weary, unwilling to fight unless they nessecarily have to. I also understand there are some exceptions like if you're back is against the wall and this is a last stand.
That being said. I'll go ahead and say this. The Jagadian Army, Air Force, and Navy may look and act big, but they're really not. Few Jagadian troops have seen combat, the air force has only seen war games, and the Navy has some experiance due to skirmishes in the past, though nothing to brag about.
The Army does have good equipment, but a lack of understanding on how to use it in a real battle. You can only gain so much experiance from attacking plastic dummies. They are really just a bunch of teens with guns. Nothing that a war hardened vertern couldn't slap around.
The Air Force is big and massive...and thats about it.
The Navy is the only real issue you may have. Its actually quite powerful, being of Macabee design. Though this force may not even engage you as its under Grand Admiral Bradley and he's a known friend of York. Though if they do engage you, for whatever reason. Understand that they may prove a lot more difficult than the Army and Air Force. Jagada has spent centuries trying to improve its navy...being an island nation and such.
No WMDs
Sorry, but I'd like to come out of this war with my nation moderately intacted. And no offense, but a nuclear war over little old me isn't worth it.
Rules may and probably will change to ensure realism is upkept. Check back here often!
To join, simply post below and say which side. Don't worry, this will be fun.
