Idea for a RP [ATTN: Everyone who I haven't RPed with, and isn't at war]

I've tried asking a few other people about this, but they were invariably at war... darned alliance networks...

Anyway, my idea is as follows: The Concordance receives a communication from a nation it's never heard of, perhaps asking what the international community thinks of its intelligence system, seeking allies etc... your choice really. It decides to play a little "game" with the other nation, sending one of its infamous "operatives" to that nation to discover all it can about the country. If the nation finds the operative, Czardas will think highly of its intelligence system and decides to ally itself, or whatever; if after four months he/she/it is still at large, Czardas will reveal the name of the operative, and consider relations unharmed.

Naturally, this would only work in times of peace, because Czardas isn't particularly likely to send one of its spies into the middle of raging combat.

Also, I'd prefer MT/PMT nations, although FT would be quite...interesting. ;)

If you're interested, post on this thread. I'm fairly sure it would be more character-based than nation-based, but even so it contains elements of both.

I'd be interested in this. (I know we haven't always got on, so feel free to tell me to stick it.) I can't get into much military stuff at the moment, as I still haven't completed my military designs, so something character-based would be much more amenable. It's also an interesting concept. Gruenberg is caught between its history as a regimented police state and the increasingly liberal aspirations of the latest Sultan, and so I'd like an RP in which I could chart the changing fortunes of my intelligence services. I'm MT.

If not, then I'll certainly watch this one from the sidelines with interest.

All right, then. OOC disagreements aside, I think a RP would be fine, as IC our nation would probably not know anything about yours. Also, you can't really be at war, as you explained earlier... and, as far as I know, you have no connections to any nations we're allied with (or allied against)—I haven't seen too many RPs by you anyhow. I think it would work.

I have a few embassies, and I'm a member of the Mutual Aid Pact. I think that's it, alliance-wise, and I certainly haven't been involved with many of the nations I've seen you RPing with recently.

Ok, it looks like we've got one person. I'll keep the thread up for a while to see if there's any interest from anyone else.

(If no one else responds, just two is fine... There's no set number I'd like to have. Anything between just the two of us and about 60 people—which is pushing it, but still.)

Me likey character rp idea. All hail Czardas.

You want to join, too?

Ok, I'll mark you down. 3.

So, will Czardaian operatives be infiltrating each nation, or will we all have a different part to play?
Czardas
13-10-2005, 19:32
No, they'll only be infiltrating one nation. I will RP the operative itself after the initial nation contact. The other people can RP characters from either nation, or from their own if they want—perhaps their own ops in Gruenberg, or even in Czardas. It's really a very open type of thing here.

This intrigues me.

Ah, ok, that makes more sense. Thanks.

Sounds interesting. I'm pretty good with character Rp's so I think joining this would be rather interesting. Work out details later, right now I'm feeling a little under par.

I remember you from DP's failed Atrox City RP... our nations have never had any formal contact whatsoever, however.

I'll mark you down.

Ok, sorry, but I don't remember you being in that one, but oh well. Just out of curiosity, what did you think of me?

I couldn't post all too often, so I doubt that you'd remember, and it was in May anyway... But I thought you did a pretty good job. I liked that RP.

Wow, was that really all the way back then?

Thank you for the comment, and I thought it was a pretty fun RP anyway, but it did die, nothing we coulda done.

It was a long time ago, yes. The last post was made in June IIRC. And yes, there really was nothing we could have done to stop it. Later DP tried to start it again, but nobody besides me ever posted in it, and he never responded.

Anyway, this is a bit of a hijack...

[BUMP] for interest

(I intend to start it today, so if anyone else is interested, they had better sign up... like now... ;))
Gruenberg

We're starting today? Ok. Actually, it doesn't matter if there's not so much interest now: once we get started, I'm sure it'll pick it up.
Czardas
14-10-2005, 17:13
Well, we've got a few people already -- I think a total of 6 -- and that might even be enough. I'll send out TGs when I start it.

Mark me. If this is PMT, this gives me a chance to use my 2020-ish "Freaks of Nature" Falcanians, mutated into avian creatures by a steady diet of fried falcon and radioactive waste.

This is an MT character-based intelligence mission. But good luck with that.

Wow, this is a good idea. Count me in - put me last on priority though, I am quite busy.

This is actually set a little bit earlier, as MT. But those creatures do sound interesting.

Ok, you can always join in later. I don't think anyone's going to figure out who my op is within the first 3-4 days anyway. :p
