For those of you who remember the Ehznoists/True Aesonics, you'll know what the purpose of this thread is.

For those who don't here's a brief summary. My country has it's own religion, The Aesonic Church, which is somewhat based off Norse myths. One of the prime tenants of it is that virtue is more important than faith.

The Ehznoists don't believe this, and believe that it is their duty to spread the word of the True Gods, mostly, so far, by blowing up everybody that doesn't believe.

So I want to know if there's anyone who would be willing to RP an Ehznoist attack on their nation. Specifically if you either outlaw religion or have a state religion.

I have a state religion unless you're one of those people who claim that Aetheism isn't a religion, but anyway I'd like to get involved.

All right. Here's my rough plan.

Kanami, the attack in your country will probably be in a random church, most likely of the major religion in your country.

Drexel and Toopoxia, both of the attacks on you will probably be on either major government buildings or officials. And just to piss people off, I'd like them to be as near simultaneous as makes no difference.

Okay. Just to let you know an attack on the Kremlit, my main government building would be nearly impossible. It is in a no fly zone and has military check points set up completely around in every three miles for forty-five miles. I suggest you attack an official...

Right. Who's in charge? President? Dictator? Name? Would an assault on him and or her be feasible, or should I go for a less important prominent figure?

My leader is a Dictator that lives in the Kremlit, so he would be hard to hit. The Vice Admiral, who is second in charge does much of the PR stuff for the govenment so he would be a likely target. He is known as B. Henderson.

Name: B. Henderson
Job: Vice-Admiral (Vice-Dictator)
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 190 lb
Build: Athletic

Hey yeah oki, so a hit on David Du'Font (my leader) might be a bad idea for me ICly as I'm currently involved in two wars and due for another 2 soon, man I love fluidic time, a better choice would be if you hit Lucian Brave, CEO of the Toopoxican organisation, then I'll be able to use my favoured Toxitroopers and Bounty Hunters, would this be oki?

@ Jaredcohenia: Don't think so. I kind of stopped paying attention after I got glassed. It may have died.

@Toopoxia: Yeah, that'd be fine, provided they're complacent with the government and the Atheism. Have to make it feasible for them to attack after all. Could I blow up the building that he's in? It'd be a shame to let this opportunity pass without an explosion.

@ Drexel: B. Henderson it is. How about one of the Prophets (that's the term for the foot soldiers in the True Aesonic organization) attacks him during a press conference?

Sure, target either the HQ in my capitol Volitaia or one of the many factories dotted about the place, i'm sure there'll be some fallout from the goverment cos it'll release god know how many lethal gasses that the Toopoxicans were stockpiling into the air.

best to let them peter out cos Cyanogen Chloride isn't really the safest gas to clear up, unless you're using the often dreamt about (in my mind) Toxitrooper Armour MkIII but hey if you want to walk into the cloud of seering gas with a bottle of domestos in one hand and a mop in the other then be my guest.

Toopoxia, can we assume that your leader is making an inspection tour or some such to the factory?

I don't want to risk losing a character I've barely had chance to RP yet and I'm already involved in 4 wars so i'd like to confine this to my Bounty Hunters and Toopoxican Soldiers if that's fine by you...

I am a newbie to NS but I am open to this. I am a Christian country but I don't want attacks on the Christians. I want Aesonics to feud with Elishabathists (read my intro thread for more info). Elishabathists are known to be peaceful but perhaps extremists in the faith could fight with extremist Aesonics?

Sure. Hold on, I've got an idea! A non Ehznoist Aesonic church is set up in Nova England, and the Elishabathists extremists attack it. That sets the stage for the Ehznoists to retaliate in protection of their own. Sound good?

That sounds ok with me, though I was thinking that the Ezhnoists would strike at Elishabathists. We can start when ever you want. Telegram me to discuss how we will do it, along with posting here. I want the Christians to be neutral though.

Also, perhaps the Ezhnoists could attack a Elishabathist temple (I will call them temples for now) for some reason, like for supremacy or something?

We can go with your idea, it will be a good RP, I hope. Also, may I have info on the Aesonic religion? I am still thinking of things for my religion but we can do this, don't worry.

I am also a newbie and I am interested. My nation is Israel, so perhaps a Ezhnoist attack on the Muslims or even the Jewish people? Also, I could revive Irgun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irgun) perhaps and have them fight with the Ezhnoists.

My nation's capital is Jerusalem, as I am in Israel. Tell me if this is ok. Thank you for your time in reading.

Well, quick rundown, it's mostly based on Norse mythology, with some stuff taken from Greek, or others as I feel like it. (example, ritual suicides similar to seppuku are not unheard of) Like I said, mainstream (pretty much gone now with the majority of my country, more's the shame) believe that as long as your virtuous, the gods don't give a damn what you do or don't worship.

The Ehznoists believe otherwise. Most of the Ehznoists, being ex-millitary, are going to have as their patron god Tyr, who watches over soldiers, although anyone who's going to blow themself up will sympathize with Helios, who they believe to burn the unbelievers, even as they are doing.

Also, though the mainstream Aesonics stay away from sex as long as both parties are willing (oh, and if you knock a girl up, you've got to propose) Ehznoists have a vibrant hate for homosexuals, prostitues and their patrons, and generally anybody who screws out of wedlock. ;)

Anything else?

Well as many responses as I've got, and considering my recent decimation, any attack on you would probably be a one-shot thing, without much follow ups. You could join the international hunt for the Ehznoist leaders though.

Thank you for this info, it is interesting. Virtue may have a place in Elishabathism, I am still planning things out. I want to know if I could use some of your info for my religion, I understand if you don't want me to.

This info is good and I thank you for giving it to me. Also, when do you think we can start?

Well, I think that that one would probably, due to it's nature, be a different thread than the one this was a signup for. I suppose it could be an Ehznoist attack that set things off, but I wanted to do something that would gain them some sympathy in the world for once. My only semi-supporters are Leafanistan, (because I buy so much stuff from him he sometimes throws in some free stuff) and Jaredcohenia, and I really don't trust him. <.< >.>

So I was hoping to do something that would make people reconsider their perceptions of the Ehznoists, and lend some depth to them at the same time.

Of course its okay. Although you can't strike at my country in turn, even if my country did (emphasis on past tense) support Ehzno. So it's going to be terrorists against terrorists, kind of like that RP I've got planned with this Nova England character.

Would my terrorists be able to possibly hit one or two Ehzno Churches (or Temples) or possibly an organization that is run by better known Ehznos?

Well, they don't really go in for bases. They operate in one of two ways. One, they have operatives staying in various hotels, sometimes homeless shelters, or just hanging out, and they'll insert operatives with orders to carry out a specific mission, and supply the weapons along the way. The other way is to operate out of Aesonic churches with a Holy Man friendly to the cause. However, after I got glassed, most of those disappeared. So what you could attack is the warehouses where I store some of my weapons, that would hurt. The best way to figure out where one of those were would be to bribe Leocardia to give away the delivery address.

As soon as I figure out what I'm doing with Toopoxia.

@ Jaredcohenia, it's not going to be easy, and it's going to take some time, especially as only the really high ranking members even know where he is. And then you'd have to get the Amazonian Beasts protecting him to let you near him.
