OOC: An MT War.
I'm going to need decent RPers, but I'm not a good RPer myself so it's a paradox. Anyways, I'm having a war with a puppet of mine almost alike in every manner, but with different religious beliefs. They've always lived to the south of my nation, and both have been on relatively peaceful tersm, if not cautionary. While my country focuses heavily on chemical devices, they are more nuclear in nature.
So, my puppet will attack Jenrak, and any allies (helping me) can join, and any enemies (helping my puppet) can join, but I will need notification in here, no matter who it is.
So what do ya think? Can you handle a thread where I fight me? I don't think you can...
...I'm being sarcastic.

I might be interested. I'd have to get more info.
Kilani will happily "liberate" both your nations in the name of Communism and the common worker. They'll probably start out by funding any communists in your nation, then send in Spetznaz to build up weapons caches and train insurgents. Then we get a revolt gong and declare a soverign People's Republic of Jenrak. =D

I was looking for some new, long-term MT RP, and although I am not an established ally or enemy of you or your puppet, I am interested in this.
I don't care which side I fight on, if I have a little more information I can come up with one though, so....
What say you?

I'm game, as well, though a bit more information on both powers would be nice before aligning myself one way or another.
Like I said, Kilani will support the communists or socialists. Even just leftists.

Yeah, if any communists are left alive in Jenrak or the Rithman-naar.
Okay, here's some information on both:
Jenrak
Okay, as you know, Jenrak is labelled 'Extirpating Lachrytomists', meaning Chemical destruction to some term, I believe. My country is a theocracy with a powerful corporate presence, and a strong and united army for the first time in decades. It's split up into hundreds of different castes, which is predetermined during birth. The government is a police state, and well, my technology is fairly unique, if anybody has ever seen my warmongering with my nation.
Rithman-naar
Rithman-naar's a powerful totalitarian state, and they have a powerful corporate presence as well, but not as much as Jenrak. They focus on a civil rights much more, and they have a very powerful class system, which resembles the Jenrakian caste system, but there are ways to manipulate the classes, whereas the castes are static. It's a dominant monarchy, meaning the royal families have a strong political power, but they are easily overthrown when corrupt or incompetent rulers arise. Rithman-naar doesn't look to well at Jenrak, and sees them as a potential target.
Alright...Perfect candidates for liberation.

My MT forces could use some practice. Perhaps if you want we can join in on the side of Rithman-naar... or whatever.
Jenrak
Excels in hit and run and guerilla tactics, but won't hesitate to fight in naval battles. My technology includes a blend of armoured and aristocrating warriors (Temsplace) combined with special operations units (Sadicistra) to put up a defensive war. That's what this nation was built for - defending itself. Plus its full of zealots and fanaticists, which just makes it harder to breach.
Rithman-naar
Built to fight my nation.

Bleh. A bad choice and a worse choice. If I was the crusading type, both Jenrak and Rithman-Naar would be good candidates for regime change. But, since I'm not, put me down in Rithman-Naar's column.

Jenrak fights my type of Warfare so put me down as a Jenrak Ally.

I am leaning slightly towards the more structured society of Jenrak now, for my own nation lives in a caste system. (merchant, farmer, artisan, warrior, noble, Emperor, in that order)
Although, after the failure seen in our last colonization effort...
We shall see, I'll go in for Jenrak.

Given that, out of 8,000 seats in the House of Representatives, left-of-center parties won precisely 15 seats, you're not going to find many sympathetic lefties in Juumanistra. No-one advocating bigger government involvement in the economy has won substantively on the national level in...hell, centuries.

While Skitsojd is Socialist it is not Totalitarian so we chose Jenrak.

Since I'm neither your ally nor your enemy, in fact we haven't even had diplomatic contact. That aside, I'm interested in supporting Rithman-naar. That should kind of balance it out. 4 nations supporting Jenrak (you) and 4 nations supporting Rithman-naar (you).

That doesn't make any sense.
Kilani will probably settle for the lesser of two evils...But they'll also try and set up a communist puppet while they're at it.

I am not communist, in the perfect sense, in that I give no benefit or recognition to the worker at all, whatsoever, but, there is absolutly no private industry in the Dominion either, and there never was, or will be.
Make of that what you will.
Kilani will probably settle for the lesser of two evils...But they'll also try and set up a communist puppet while they're at it.
Which do you think is...?
Okay, here is what the story will be about...
King Maraclus of the Rithman-naar has a son, his name was Darakle of Blades, the Prince of Blades (for his acclaimed legendary swordsmanship), who was extremely spoiled. He believed to be loved by all who see him, and he decides to prove it by going to Jenrak. Now, the Rith and the Jenrakians have long time hatred for each, mostly Jenrak has occupied and taken over Sanduras, and Hsac. Rithman-naar had taken over Cendarai and Dren, meaning both nations have immensely large 'colonies'. They're both on the opposite side in opinion, and are both born to hate each other.
So no surprise, Darakle goes to Jenrak, and he's confused on why they hate him (he's not the smartest guy), and he comes back early from hsi trip with anger, wanting to retaliate. His response? He wants to turn Jenrak into the largest glass plate in the world. His father, however, did not allow it, since not only would it piss Jenrak off, but also make his prestige as a prominent peacekeeper go to waste.
After a little while, Maraclus dies of old age, and Darakle immediately becomes King, and sets his eyes forward to, guess what - Jenrak. Jenrak's been through multiple civil wars in order to finally stabilize it, but they're finally at the height of their power and fanaticism. But Darakle also has weapons that were made to break Jenrakian technology. He's made counter units agains Sadists, Lancers, Temsplace, etc.
What's his excuse? The execution of followers of Engerh, the Rith religion.
I would be interested in joining, on the side of your puppet of coarse.

It's going to be alot more complicated than this, but I'm not going to spoil everything. Let's just say that this war will bring out alot in people in Jenrak.

There's enough sign-ups right now, but there's also the fact that some people probably won't post alot, so I have to watch out for that, since if it degrades into only two or three people posting it can get a little slow.
So I'll wait till monday, if that's alright with everyone.

Ok with me, take you time. Better to wait and work out all the kinks in the story. But, from what I read it sounds like a good beginning.

Maraclus has died, and Darakle is going through a series of breakdowns. So how you can react to Maraclus' death can reveal what you truly believe. His tour of Jenrak will commence soon.

The Dominion's interest in the situation will begin when the war does. Our motivation is simple imperialism, and we have very little intersest in the death or life of a king.
We have not yet taken notice of the situation.
((I'm assuming OOC comments would be better here than clogging up the RP thread))

Using this thread as an OOC question point again,
Do you have;
1)Are there any significant coastal defenses along Rithman-Naar? I am probably making a beach assault directly into the nation (unless there are any obvious coastal defenses I could have known about [satellite-detectable basically]) so I need to know before I post about sailing right to the coast.
2) A rough map of the combat zone? (yeah, it has been requested before, but it is important)
1) There's a large mountain wall for the Rith on their west coast but to the south there's an accessible piece of land which is heavily fortified by a pair of large bases called Eyes of the Rith. It's not officially labelled that, but if you're planning on a naval assault, you'll need to push up through that twin section with a pretty hard attack force even damage it. Personally, just flying over hte mountains with and airforce is alot more efficient, but the Rith airforce is superbly advanced and pwoerful, compared to Jenrak's laughable airforce.
2) Yeah, Yeah. I'm making the map.
Emporer Pudu
18-02-2006, 00:27
We will land outside the Eyes of the Rith, we have to take that land...
When you say take that land, I hope you mean the land occupied by the Eyes of the Rith, not the land outside it, since that is the ocean.
Emporer Pudu
18-02-2006, 02:37
No, we are annexing the ocean!
Yeah, we'll throw a few thousand Orthae and a horde of our other guys, and maybe it'll do something.
Also, are the foretresses right on the coast or a few miles in?
EDIT: I'm going to put a few pictures of my basic and not quite as basic soldiering-types here fro reference;
Guardian (http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/5897/guardians8ec.jpg)- Basic Pudite grunt, highly trained and motivated he has been with his unit and his weapons from birth. Armed with An-94 Assault Rifle, GP-30 Underbarrel Grenade Launcher, and PMM Marakov Sidearm.
Orthae (http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/899/orthae2sz.jpg)- Highly Elite Pudite soldier, specialises in assaults and fast attacks, trained from birth to be aggressive and loyal to the Dominion. Armed with AS Val Silenced Assault Rifle and OTs-27 Berdysh Sidearm equipped with a laser sight. Some Orthae units still utilise the Ak-74U and the BS-1 silent grenade launcher or GP-25 underbarrel grenade launcher but these are being quickly replaced with the AS Val's cousin the Vikhr SR-3 Assault Rifle in front line units.
