Massive Email Sent out to all Government, Corporations, Special Interest Groups, and even private citizens.


Message to the World
From:The Peoples of Freedom of All
To: Everyone
There comes a time when a national leader is not evil enough to be considered a world threat, not powerful enough to be a valid Imperialist danger, nor insane enough to require removal out of respect of human rights, yet is just enough to be extremely Annoying to the International Community. Serena, the Empress of Hataria is one of these Leaders. We cannot allow her insane prattle continue onward. We are making a special offer to hopefully end this charade once and for all.

Any Nation group or Person who can capture her ALIVE, remove her from office, and publicly Show ownership of will recieve a donation of 2 Trillion Dollars, Yes 2,500,000,000,000 International Dollars to any account of that Person, Group, or Nation's choosing. This offer is open to EVERYONE. Beliefs goals and\or status is of no concern. There are more important things than just stopping the Evils of the world, sometimes you must instead stop the annoyances in the world.

Edit: Added Hyperspatial Travel's Donation.
Edit Again: Added Animarnia's Donation.

The Psychotic Dictator of T.L.D. deletes his spam mail daily. This is the best part of day for him as he takes immense pleasure reaching to his bones spending time with spam. Then for fun he sends 10.000 free holiday offers at his country to random e-mails. He shakes with another wave of pleasure as he knows no one will take those offers serious but in this case his offer is real.
After that he haves a glass of tomato juice he personally executes a few political activists and feeds their remains to his genetically manipulated killer bunnies.

Return Message: Accepted. Offer is now 2 Trillion.

OOC: Basicly the idea is this, whoever makes a sucessful Kidnapping RP of the Empress, and suceeds past Hataria's Rping wins.

Tiny nations, Terrorist Groups, this is your chance to get on the map.

OOC: Exactly. The idea of assassin/kidnapping-RP was indeed a good one, but it has to be discussed with Hataria first, if you want it to be worth writing. Personally, I wouldn't even try to start RP against Hataria if I really didn't have to... and this is not because of his nation or the strength of it. That's just my personal OOC opinion though.

Has anyone asked Hataria if he/she is ok with this?
Hataria
17-05-2006, 21:43
OOC: No I am not ok with this.......but I am going to make sure he would not get The Chance.


IC: The Hatarian SpyNet fond out about the Price on The Head of Her Highness. When that Hatarian People heard their was soon calls for The Nations surporting the "The Peoples of Freedom of All" to be Nuked to Glass or have The Mongol Virus relesed on them, but Cooler heads Preveiled and The Hatarians put a Price on The Heads of The PFA and The Nations surporting them, and if any Kidnappers or Assasins from the PFA or The Nations surporting them were found in Hataria, they would be Thown To The Wolves.

OOC: Did you not read the messages? Although you would definitely know of the bounty, you would not know of any nations that are supporting. That's why the term "Secret" is used. I don't care how good your spy network is, it's impossible to ICly know of a secret IC message that is not directed to you. BTW... reversing and putting a price on the heads of these people is not going to help... no one will help you. And this will not stop nations and bounty hunters from going after your leader.

OOC: Is it just me, or does it seem increasingly like we'll have to resort to Godmodding in order to get something done with respect to Hataria? Couldn't you answer my telegram on the matter?
Madnestan
17-05-2006, 22:02
"Hehe," The intel officers laughed as they thought of how moronic people could be. They quickly started their trace of the email. One of them brought the results to the Supreme Admiral, "Sir, we've discovered that the email came fro ma coffee shop in one of the Nodian countries."
OOC: Or then not. Perhaps it came from Madnestan? Geneticon? Theao? He didn't say where it was sent from, and it could have been sent from any location on the NS-World where internet connections are present.
You can't come and tell him what his character/nation did without godmodding.

OOC: Maybe they're not terrorists. Who knows, eh?
Oh, FYI, Hataria has replied to my telegram. Verbatim, it runs: Try it..............You would be soon Invaded when we find you.

Now, ignore the fact that Hataria a) got its ass handed to it when it tried to bully Tilea into submission, b) that even getting an army from there to here without being destroyed would be an incredible accomplishment, and c) that there would be absolutely no way of linking any actions against 'Empress' Serena to us, but it still ignores my initial question of how it'd react.

Can I assume, in this case, that I have permission to go ahead with it, because no answer indicates that yes, I can.

EDIT: Oh yeah. Since an attempt at kidnapping the 'Empress' would just be stupid, I'm going to simply skip the middleman and go for an assassination instead.
Madnestan
17-05-2006, 22:48
OOC: Gejigrad, you're right - the sum indicates that there are more than just few fanatics behind that email. No one can however know what nation spesifically was behind it, even though it is apparent that it indeed is a government instead of some independant group.

And McPsychoville, I think he said how he's "going to make it impossible", =godmodd it (like he did in that same post by "knowing" from where did Nod send the email) to be so that Empress doesn't die. Which pretty much takes the point out of this whole thing, no?

Madnestan
17-05-2006, 23:05
OOC: um, why do we hate hataria?

OOC: He bullyed, threathened and then attempted to invade a small nation because they announced their nuclear capability. Didn't try to scare anyone, just said "we have nukes". A big bunch of nations came to save Tilean's (the small country) ass, and Hataria decided to fight them all. Got beaten.
Few days later announced that he's going to support all "Republican Rebels Around The World" and acted very unfriendly towards those who tried to tell him it wasn't the right thing to do. Has constantly announced his intentions and aim of becoming the ruler of the world.

OOCly he doesn't write too well and has a habit of Godmodding, which makes it frustrating to respond with his highly provocative IC actions when deep inside you know you don't want to RP with/against him (in my personal opinion).
McPsychoville
17-05-2006, 23:08
OOC: I know that it's pretty pointless trying to RP against Hataria, but fuck it, I'm going to godmod the bitch dying simply because I've spent too much time (read: more than ten minutes) on the RP to waste it.

ooc postulating:Now assuming Hataria is a costal nation (most nations claim they are for the sake of easy naval utilization). How hard would it be to sneak in a spec ops sniper team in? Assuming is capabilites are designed to repel large scale invasions with godmodding weapons (i.e. My spy net intercepts all communications), I doubt he has put considerable thought to preventing small incertion team. If, for example, a two man spec op sniper team being incearted into the coast via mini-sub, as long as they got within 2km of the leader, good-night (Note my rifle of choce is the Barret XM109 25mm anticargo rifle if anyone was wondering).
The Black Hand of Nod
17-05-2006, 23:47
OOC: I would prefer her alive actually, that increases the chance of Hataria one day taking her back. Besides it's easy to assassinate someone, it's harder to take them.

OOC: This is Free Form Rolepay and since the Empress is Hataria's character, only Hataria can decide what happens to her. You could write a 10,000 word RP about how you snuck in to kidnap the empress but Hataria can simply say, "the Empress was of course moved an hour before to another hideout", and it is Hataria's right to do so.
Short of nuking the entire country (which will get your country nuked in return. There is no real way to assainate someone with out the agreement.

Remeber you can throw the rock at me, but only I can choose to be hit by it or dodge it (or catch it).

Great. "d00d this be teh freeform". Thanks, Phoenix Militia! Without your instructive, yet misspelled advice, I'm sure the stickies, countless RPs, experience, and mods couldn't have taught us that. In fact, all this time I thought I was completely and utterly in control of every single RP, despite the fact I wasn't in most of them! I thank you most profoundly for enlightening me.

OOC: No plan on taking part in any covert activity, kidnappings, or killings involving the Empress of Hataria. I would however like to point out one little detail, assuming you do take her out (which most likely would not happen as you can't blame Hataria for not wanting one of his main characters killed off), what insures anyone will be paid. 1 Trillion is a rather large sum... Any prespective assassens would likely make sure that 1) the group that wants the hit has the money and 2) they have an insured means of getting paid after it is done (and the group does not disapear with the cash never to be heard from again).

BTW: If Hataria does not want to have an RP were his character stands a chance of dieing an alternative would be a comedy RP (of sorts) were a bunch of buffonish/sarcastic would be kidnappers/assessens go to Hataria for the reward and generally cause trouble, but fail.

[ All right.

That makes some sense--right up to the point where two trillion dollars is quite a hefty sum of money, and it will be missed. No one is simply going to overlook what amounts to the entire projected cost for cleaning up Iraq. Or the sum total of research costs on developing cancer cures over forty years. Even in NS economies like yours and mine. ]
