I am just seeing who would be intrested in a forum of the US Civil War although in Modern times, the plot would go something like the US has just fallen and the states are striving to unify the US under there controll, you would take controll of one of the states and do just that, through diplomacy, treaties, war, and unions. I am just seeing who woild join if I made it...

Interesting. Are there foreign powers involved? If yes, I'd like to be Great Britain or Canada. Imagine Canada invading the US...:p

If there are foreign powers, how about you're Canada and I'm Great Britain. We can gang up on them.

How about the federal units disband and go home, leaving behind their equipment and forcing the states to go with the national gaurd.

So probably plenty of people, and plenty of armories with weapons, but some difficulty putting the two together, eh?

Ok then. I think that if we can be outside powers that we should do a Russo-Mexican Alliance.

Aeson: Yeah, pretty much. My question is, what happens to the America's nukes? Maybe they did a last minute change on the PALs and/or launch codes to prevent anybody from using them.

Ooh... What about...

Terrorists managed to obtain nuclear launch codes get into appropriate launch sites yahta yahta blow up...

How about Kansas? Okay, so they blow up Kansas, and in the resulting backlash against nuclear weapons, they're dismantled. Also gives us a reason for the US to crumble.
Red Tide2
19-08-2006, 19:28
I think their more likely to blow up Maryland, or California, or Texas or somewhere that isnt as remote and much more mainstream.
Kamasha
19-08-2006, 19:37
They would have blown up new york (nobody needs them anyway :D) lol
The reason US is crumbling could be that they cant agree about a new president. That means that this rp will take place after Georg Bush have left the white house.

Nah. See, they're the type of terrorists that wanted power in the US for themselves, so they didn't want to blow up anything important. And they didn't really want Kansas anyways, so...

I have the game. It's not installed on my computer, though. Mainly because .. it's like, really shallow. Basicly the units are very 2-dimensional. The combat is dumb.

to make it easy its no ships. ships needs to be rebuilt. If you have other soulutions please post them. Also Russia needs to create there own civil war before they can attack the USA. If not they will be to strong. Also lets say that all nukes were disabled after the terrorist attack.

Your reason for civil war wouldn't/shouldn't work in real life.
(thankfully)

If a no election takes place, President Bush can rightly declare an emergency and serve for a third term or until the country becomes so polorized against the republican party/Bush that they agree to unanimously elect a demacrat.

Most likely not Al Gore...
Since technically he did win the election in Floridia, but decided to resign/forfit before inogeration.
And therefore, Gore served 2 terms (although his 2nd term was very, very short).
-----
Nuking Kansas....
What would that do now that hasn't already been done?
We didn't test nukes just in Arizona... The dead crew of the "Lucky Dragon" would agree.
-----
Hmmm, Texas. Has a long history of seccession (from Mexico), except that it never secceeded from the Union (it was a "Northern" state during the war of 1861 , and actually asked to join USA when it still was "a whole nother country")

State motto still works: "Lone (Star) Republic/State"
Oddly, Texas was a country founded by illegal immegrants, and later, insergents and terrorists (Anglo-American)

California can trace its statehood to a tavern where its first non-mexican state government held their meeting (while alternately drunk and hung-over).
------
And a Red invasion would also help polarize the nation.
Something americans have with the color red I guess.

Redcoats, Red army, Red sun, 'Redskins', "Operation Red Flag" (later called "Desert Storm/Shield")...

Rednecks...

------

[I]With that said, is the Wisconsin/northern Midwest territory claimed yet?
