I'm rather bored here on NS. Not a lot of places that I can get involved justly, save for hiring out as mercenaries.

Now, I've been descriminated against twice for having Fantasy Creatures as my main characters. You must understand that my main races (Duergar and Drow) are little more than different-colored, shorter humans, so I ask you, do not use that against me if you're MT.

Anyway, I'm looking for a current war that's going on to get involved in that you wouldn't mind me sending a Division or two into. I could be a third party or forced into an alliance with one side. Either way, I'm looking to be rather hapless initially, and then get more involved politically and militarily.

I'm looking for either an MT war or an FT war, preferably one of each.
Please, make me un-bored!

I actually think having the drow guys are pretty cool.

Yeah, me, too. Not a lot of originality like this on NS. I tried Earthed Klingons, but there wasn't a lot I could do with that, and Klingons, physically, are stronger than humans and are hard to balance. Drow, however, are long-lived, can see in the dark, are quicker, and have slightly superior hearing. At the same time, Drow Elves are sensitive to light, are not experienced with modern technology, and are physically weaker than humans and can't take a hit as well, especially from a bullet.

((Bump))

Well, my main nation is not officially fighting any wars at the moment (at least, not where I need help, nor that post often enough for much satisfaction) but perhaps I can oblige in other ways. I can certainly do war, and would in-character, go for you while you’re still relatively small. The same with forcing you into an unfair military alliance (annex is such a nasty word. Well, it’s not, but if I get my surrender, I’m happy to negotiate, in your case at least), which is certainly my style, to a degree. That also works if you’re in a mood to be ‘hapless’ as well. A degree of post-war compliance would allow for better military and political treatment (hence, little interference in future RP, unless you desire it), too. I do of course, rather like drow, and have no (OOC, IC would be different, of courese) issues with them being played to the hilt. That makes for more entertaining story (ahem, something of a religious conflict, too), anyway!

And of course you’re bored, you didn’t reply ( http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=494906)! I kid, of course

So, what do you say?

EDIT: Incidentally, what happened to those krorks of yours? I just read 'first contact' and I think it might provide further opportunities. Not least of which, I don't care about them being enslaved. I would probably encourage it, even...

I looked, and I don't think I found anything I COULD reply to, so I waited for EE to reply. S/He never did, and it died from there. I was hoping they'd post and you would have had the chance to continue. I'll read it again tomorrow and see if there's anything I can do.

As for an occupation, the Drow wouldn't go for that at all. They'd fight you to the last Drider. If it was a physical occupation. A political occupation, however, especially with something as Chaos-Like and Lolth-approved as Necrons, would be well-hidden, but widely known, and little cared about. I've always wanted to have diplomatic 'pressures' because they usually get people into wars, which would definitely be the case with the Drow, who are generally warlike.

Now I'm going to make a Necron banner for the DoW Necron mod.
"100% Lolth-Approved!"

Such a fun game. Got me into the tabletop game, too. I recently painted my entire Battle for Maccrage set and played a couple missions. Flamethrower fun. :D

If you want a good fight oucan try and repel my forces... I have been looking for a nation to waste some old stuff on... interested?

Note: I am PMT....if thats not good then just ignore my post..and check out my website for troop info..it in my sig

No, I'm not looking to start a new war, just join a current one.

well, Suit your self .... If you change your mind let me know. I dont like one liner posts so if yu are up for a good fight just ask...

That's not saying much. A bit like saying 'we'll fight to the last goblin' when you're an orc. :D

You'd be surprised. If anything, necrons are lords of law. Unchanging,
and so on. I preffer Shar, myself... would be well-hidden, but widely known, and little cared about. I've always wanted to have diplomatic 'pressures' because they usually get people into wars, which would definitely be the case with the Drow, who are generally warlike.
Heh. Well... Anyway, are you still occupying those Krork planets, or need I be slightly more cunning. Either way, I shall get writing right away.

Wouldn't the Necrons simply wipe our planet clean anyway?

Wouldn't the Necrons simply wipe our planet clean anyway?

Even in 40k, that objective is a bit overstated, and they do actually subjugate peoples, too. In this context, they're sapient necrons that while they are convinced of their own superiority, aren't necesserily in the mood to kill everyone. This behaviour is partly based on Xenology, where younger races are corrupted because of their link to the warp created by the Old Ones. Even so, the agenda here is different, and my necrons are only superficially similar to the 40K ones. There's more, which I'll post this afternoon. I've actually got most of an initial post done already. Just waiting for your goahead.

NSnecrons, an introductory guide

What makes up 'The C'tan?' One million necron minds, fifty or more million necrontyr, numerous artificially intelligent constructs, approximately 25% of the population are elves of the 'Tolkien' variety, there's a few other species of elves, including drow, and the remainder of the population are near-humans. The reasons for this mix are historical and from various roleplays in the past.

How do these necrons differ from the originals?
They're all sapient, in that they're not automatons. That said, they often exhibit this behaviour when in combat, because of a state of semi-distraction with other matters.
They’re for the most part ‘good’ despite having come views that most would disagree with, their intentions are largely altruistic, and their methods reflect this.

Anyway, here’s how I see things happening

Either I have some provocation to attack you, or do it purely for internal political reasons, I don’t particularly mind which, I’d like to tie it in with your Krorks, though.
Some time to be spent on a necron operation to board (well, induce the surrender of) a drow ship for intelligence purpouses.
I make for the Sch’Naggio homeworld in overwhelming numbers/size, and drive off most of the fleet there.
At which point I begin attcki- err, liberating – outlying settlements and military bases.
As this proceeds, your regime manages to stall the assault enough to negotiate terms for the necrons to go away. I suspect these would probably be ‘better treatment of slaves’ and so on…

We don't have much of a fleet, mind you, just enough to defend our systems, and our Orks are self-defending.

But I'll think of something. If you're talking about The Burning Trail, go ahead and post.

Excellent!
and our Orks are self-defending.What's the status of these anyway, are they slaves, or what?
But I'll think of something. If you're talking about The Burning Trail, go ahead and post.I was thinking of another thread, loosely related and reffering back to my character in the Burning Trail, but otherwise quite dissimilar.

Orks: They're not Slaves, we forged a deal with them that effectively made them part of the Drow Imperium. They would get representation in the Council, but since they have so many different Warbands, only Warbosses could send reps, and they were not allowed more than 100 seats. They have their own internal government system, which usually means the biggest is the boss. In the deal, the Orks are not allowed to wage wars against nations outside of the Drow Empire unless given good reason to do so, or the Imperium as a whole goes to war with the nation in question. The Orks are allowed to beat the snot out of each other as they please. In order to train Drow soldiers, recruits that survive the first few years of the Fighter's Academy are put into a large task force and sent to one of their planets and instructed to survive against Ork attacks for a year or two. Survivors become full Soldiers. This gives the Orks some Drow to fight to prevent them from rebelling. Drow Corporations every once in a while raid Ork tribes and WAAAGH parties and take back slaves, where the Orks are broken and sold to do hard labor.

Oh, okay, then by all means, go ahead and start the new topic.

The Storm Lord's War (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=11666923#post11666923).

By the way, how large is your military? I'm guesstimating about 2,500,000 enlisted at a decent quality, more at a lesser quality, less if they're really good. Oh, and ship numbers would be neat, if you have them, too.

For the record, I have one million necrons, but each one can control numerous bodies, with an effective number of around ten million. And four hundred and forty ships, of which one hundred are small destroyers, eighty even smaller patrol boat affairs, and two hundred and sixty large ships of doom, like the Calastan.

I was thinking a Military-commissioned fleet of uh....Ten? With one big ass Capital ship? And numerous Corporate fleets.

And yeah, that number doesn't include da Orks. 2.5 mil's not bad for a Drow number.
