OOC / Sign Up: A Very Special RP
This is an OOC Sign Up page, and I'm wondering on whether think this will be interesting enough. To sum it up:
MY FUTURE TECH WILL FIGHT MY MODERN TECH.
Now, you will be like 'Jenrak, this reeks with godmodding lolz0r z0r!', but hear me out. Sure, I'm going to have Darth Totalius take on Watcher Illuminaatrix, Sith Lords fight the Vizi-Stroths, the War Generals fight the Sadists.
I'm thinking it could be interesting, if anybody is interested, please tell me so. The story is like so:
Totalius, on a recent failure in the campaigns against the Rastragoths, developed a prototype time machine, capable of sending them back in time, depending on the amount of energy that is harnessed in the void of time. So the more things entering at the same, the farther back in time.
One of Totalius' higher generals, orders a massive invasion to take the entire Rastragoth system by surprise, thus with the sheer number of Totalius' armies he and his men as sent back into the times of Modern Jenrak, where he stumbles upon the Dark Children. Initially, the Jenrakian people see these future invaders as Gods, and worship them like so. The legions of Totalius enjoys it initially, but finally decides there's nothing to be gained from this.
So, they decide to set the country of Jenrak ablaze, to take what they deem as easy picking. Of course, Jenrak is forced to fight back, and any body wishing to join may do so.
There are tons of reasons for joining: oddities, economic ties, military alliances, humanitarian efforts, investigations, etc.
I know it's a bit wierd, but I hope I and whoever joins can pull this RP off.

Are other FT nations allowed?

I think a single FT force is enough for even a league of MT nations to fight.
I think this deserves a bump.
I might be interested, I've not yet RPed as MT with this Nation so i'm gonna have to work out some stuff before I fully commit but put me down as a possibility.
Teh Interesting. I might join in... For Economic purposes, but we'll see.
Kahanistan
12-12-2005, 23:53
I'll look into it, if I'm not too busy with Kraven and Torontia. Kahanistan might not like the Jenrakian Government, but protecting the people is more important than political differences.
By the way, I've reverted to MT myself, so the airships and disruptor cannons are gone. I might be using MiG's, satellite weapons, and even nuclear attacks on the enemy's space assets.
(If 21st century Jenrak is destroyed, the future Jenrak won't exist, so I'm just helping to continue their existence.)
K I'm not making a list, just to let people know. Anybody interested, just let me know. I'm not making a list, but before anyone can jump in, I'd appreciate it if they say they're joining.
Sweet. Count me in both FT and MT. I've been itching to try out FT Stowes.

FT as how?
Bah, count me in. I'm bored, and ready to put my long unused military to use.

Well, get ready for a difficult battle.
FT as how?
I have a FT Pananab. That General Stowes can find something in teh records on how Jenrak helped Pananab in the past (Yeah, I know, I forgot about the RP, sorry) and knew that if he didn't do something, MT Pananab might become weakened and become prey to larger nations if MT Jenrak is attacked and follows them somehow.

...I don't understand.
I have a Future Tech Pananab, I just don't use it. I;ve been so occupied with MT Pananab.

As much as you've said, you might be sorry for what I'm about to say, so brace yourself...

Sorry, but I'd like to keep it at a single FT involvement. It's odd enough with one FT involvement, but another FT intervention could just bring everything into confusion. You could still RP as MT, if you want.
Narodna Odbrana
13-12-2005, 00:28
For the right amount of ... compensation ... Narodna Odbrana might be willing to get involved. Although time travel is impossible (as Bob Gordon points out in Michael Crichton's book Timeline), it is certainly possible to travel to parallel universes within the quantum multiverse, in which every possible reality is accessible at every possible moment of its existence.
Narodna Odbrana is thus technically a MT nation that is capable of interacting with nations of any other milleu (from ancients and fantasy to FT); this interaction usually involves us sneaking onto their turf to steal things that might be useful (this is considerably more difficult than you might imagine). Don't ask how we do it; if we told you, we'd have to kill you.
While this doesn't exactly give us the capacity to support a counterattack on the future Jenrak, it might give us the ability to spy on the future Jenrak, and possibly steal some of its weapons, plans, etc. Fans of the series "Stargate SG-1" may recognise the similarities between this and what Dr. Daniel Jackson (inadvertently) did in Episode 14 of Season 1 ("There But For the Grace of God").
(For those not familiar with the series, Dr. Jackson fell into a quantum mirror that transported him to a universe in which Earth was about to be attacked by the Goa'uld Apophis; this allowed him, upon his return to his own reality, to provide his comrades with the coordinates [the "gate address"] from which the attack was to come, thereby giving them the opportunity to stage a covert op to defeat the invasion attempt.)
Narodna Odbrana does occassionally do things "for free", but only when it is in their best interest to do so, such as to protect a business interest or investment.
Oh, one more thing: the ability to travel between universes in the quantum multiverse, while not unique to the former Serbian terrorist group (yes, this is that Narodna Odbrana - the one that murdered Archduke Francis Ferdinand and Countess Sophie von Chotek to start the First World War), is their most closely guarded secret. The usual way in which this ability gets used is by one of our agents approaching a player and asking "say, how would you like... { $artifact | $technology | $plans }?" and then proceeding to go to another dimension and get said deliverable.
So I'll lurk and see if that proves to be a useful opportunity.
(Oh, one more thing: we're MT/PMT, but while immersed in someone else's milleu we can and do use their weapons. That means everything from snaplock muskets to antimatter...
This keeps things nice and fair.)
To clarify: I would be working with the MT nations to help defeat the FT Jenrak effort through covert ops (no big fleet battles - sorry) in the FT Jenrak milleu. If you paid me enough money, that is...
Hmm. Then it's less enticing in that case. Sorry.
Hmm. Then it's less enticing in that case. Sorry.
Lol. Then sorry.

Sounds logical to me, but it could get wierd. I'm not trying to make it too wierd.
I think this is another chance to Bumpify the thread.

Would we have to participate militarily? My secret services are far more imprtant to the nation than main force, and it might be interesting to spy at a tech disadvantage.

I'll happily join this RP. Haven't really done much war yet... but hopefully some of my MT robots (yes, they really are MT, they don't have laser eyes are anything-see my siggy) might be able to take Totalius. Please let me know when it's started because i will lose track of time (no pun intended).
Right now it's 7:30ish AM for me. I'm about to go to school, so when I'll be back, in about 8 hours I'll start the RP. I'll post the thread link in this OOC.
*waits for teh silly thread to start*
Also, what numbers are we talking about. And weapons that the 'enemy' will be using?
TYpical FT weaponry. Lasers, shields, siesmic weaponry. Remember, my Future me thinks my Modern me is actually a Rastragoth colony.
Plus I'm writing it as we speak.
**The shields that are used will not be a massive immunity. They'll block many things, but they wear off when too much firepower is applied or they go on long periods of time without refueling.

Count me in, I've been wanting to do a war RP for some time, and now that I've constructed a decent military, I think the time is right. My nation is mostly MT with some PMT thrown in there to make the airship feasible.
The tricky part is motivation. I suppose if your FT fleet came flying in and destroyed one of my airships on it's way to your nation that would be cause enough.
K.
Attention to all interested, I have it up:

For this RP, Fourhearts will deploy the Fleet.
The Department of the Fleet carries the Airship Fleet, Naval Fleet, and the Marines. There are three fleets. The fleets are comprised the same way.
Fleet:
1 Command Airship
12 Firestorm Airships
48 Supplycraft (Carries the ground forces as well)
1000x M1 Abrams Tanks
1000X Challenger Tanks
600 Bradleys
150 113's
50 Bradley Linebackers
40 Paladins
15 MLRSs
50 F-22s
Naval Fleet:
2 Carriers 2 Cruisers 1 Missile Destroyer 1 Frigater 2 Submarines

I don't think you need to throw PMT in to make your airships feasible. Airships have been feasible for quite a while now...
Edit: Oh, and Jenrak, maybe we can work out something via Telegram concerning 'a price', so to speak, for our help...
Or whatever. *looks around*

Just some small adjustments on a few things. Certain command airships have lasers as anti-missile defences and the missiles that launch from the Firestorm have rocket systems that are advanced enough to propel the missiles to Mach 1 speeds after being launched at a speed of zero. 98% of my military is MT and much of the PMT tech is already "in-the-works"

Sure whatever. Wouldn't matter much to me.
Actually scrap that. How about one of your 'casket' thingies is misfired, and goes off in some random direction...

I've placed the civilain airship Prospect in your capital. When the shooting starts I'll RP the Prospect getting hit by the invaders, and that's when Fourhearts will deploy it's military forces.
The Nation of Qarez offers a portion of its newly assembled army to this battle as a training excercise, which means that
A) On the one hand, we will fight free of charge but
B) We will retreat if there is a threat of signifigant damage to our forces
Our generals will keep in contact with you, but we follow our own orders.
We have a small military right now, but one of the most effective sniper teams in the world, which could prove useful picking off ceratin spots.
We accept.
Uh, Jenrak?

No, eh, I decided to scrap the other idea, and thought of something like Fourheart's idea, except one of the droppod-thingymagjiggies lands somewhere in SkyCapt, or whatever...
Yeah. *clears throat nervously*
Edit: Unless you want to work this out via Telegram?...

Well I'm alreayd getting my ass kicked by me right now, and I shortly Rped a 'casket' to flying off course. If you're intent on joining, you can have it hit your nation mysteriously, or I can elaborate further and have it turn into an actual spider-drone.
Eh, I'm going to be gone for more or less 9 days, for the Christmas, so I won't be RPing the readying of the troops and the casket's landing until (probably) the 28th.
*sighs boredly*
Alright, I'm back.
Jenrak, you want to RP the casket doing it's landing? Unless it has landed, in which case the question becomes 'Do ye want tew RP the olde casket doing it's opening thingymajiggy?' (with or without the olde accent :p)

If you didn't get what I said, I was asking if you wanted to RP the casket thingy doing whatever it does, or if I could/would do that...
Sure. I'm a bit busy right now, so I'll reply soon.
