OOC Interest: Colonies

The Aeson
19-10-2006, 01:35
Would anyone be interested in RPing the colonization of a fairly large and resource rich island? Yes, based off of Arterus, but with a catch. The natives are about WW2 level tech, and there's a lot of them.

If there's enough interest, I'll draw up the initial map, and make the IC thread.

Resources include gold, iron, uranium, silver, platinum, and oil. Not to mention about two hundred million natives.

I may be interested.

Though, if the natives are that advanced, you shouldn't identify them as "natives". They would have their own nations and groups and such.

General rule of thumb for Aesonic definitions. If they get 'discovered' they're natives.

Well, that's a plus. Yeah. You're in. But, and this goes for anybody, if you do anything extraordinarily noobish/godmoddish, I reserve the right to ask to leave the RP.

Likewise, I'd appreciate being told if I do anything along those lines.

Well, yes. But realize that the natives (I thumb my nose at you Errikland! They don't call themselves much of anything besides a Nuk, which translates roughly as 'The People',) won't take kindly to being colonized, and that anything you do here will require a significant military presence.

A couple of notes. Please draw your own claims in and submit them, I'll review them, and if they're accepted, edit them in.

Second, in order to not conflict with my acting as both the natives, and as acting as a semi-moddish thing, I'll be limiting my involvement from New Aeson to Johnny Hawk and his ruffians.

A) you mean you want us to show you where we claim and if there's oil, copper, etc and rivers?

A) Yes. I'm lazy. So there.

B) Johnny Hawk will be playing a relatively minor role. That's the point. More of a wheeler-dealer with a village full of hostages than a full on invader.

No reason you can't have conflicting claims. After all, it's all conflicting with the natives, anyways.

You'll just have to settled it like civilized countries. And by that I mean preferably without nukes.

OOC: Errikland: You allow an Army Group to be put in command of a Major? Thats pretty twisted... unless your military system is organised differently.

Anyways, I do like the Star Wars: Episode 6 referrence.

1. To get the position of "General" in the Errikan army is an absoultely huge thing, so it is not strange at all for a high ranking Major to do a lot of the things that would normally fall onto a high ranking General

2. Thank you for noticing. I have made over a dozen references to the original Star Wars movies (mostly taking words from Imperial Officers such as Tarkin), and this is the first one anyone has noticed.
