With the upcoming release of 28 Weeks Later, I thought of an interesting idea for an RP. But i bet it has happened before, but who cares.

The basic time line is that the Government of Delesa puts up information about a project intended to put down a nasty virus that has broken out on one of the Commonwealth's smaller colonies, and an attempt to repopulate the land.

How did this happen and why?
The history would be that scientists of a corporation from the Defense Industry, D4 from Delesa, was testing new biological weapons on animals, in an attempt to find the perfect ratio between disabling any combats, not entirely killing them. Research had been good up to the point when for some reason when several animals were being tested, the newer weapon, when inhaled went straight to the brain and heart. The animals were deemed brain dead, but yet retained there motor functions, and an aggressive violent started. The animals broke out of the cages after the drugs nerve system, meaning they felt no pain. They bit the scientists, who in turn left the compound and bit other humans. When the 'creature' bites a another person, and draws blood, then the chemical, reproducing in the body, is then in turn released into the blood stream of the bitten, hence a highway to the the heart and brain.

Why would you want to involve your nation?
I think that covers the science. Now the reason you nation would want to get involved would be the vast amounts of natural resources. Not to mention the chance to get your hands on this new weapon, designated Chemical Agent Red. Or maybe your nation just wants to find a cure or help reestablish a society on this island.

Now what really is this RP?
A chance to claim territory, a chance a weapon of mass destruction, not to mention anything else in those labs.

How do you start?
You ask to join the RP, if I say yes, then you can land people on the islands and establish a base or take over some dead cities and begin to clean up or something.

As the starting nation what do I get and why?
I start of with a larger then a regular claim, extending to the capital city.
Reason? Well we are familiar to the land, it was our colony. We took the capital in hopes of finding the lab, although it is still unknown, as D4 is unwilling to share any information on the lab, or that it even existed. I don't plan to expand for a while.

Eraia;
Land: 27,560 sq km
Territorial sea: 12 nm
Contiguous zone: 24 nm
Exclusive economic zone: 200 nm
Climate: tropical; semiarid where mountains in east cut off trade winds
Terrain: mostly rough and mountainous, apart from heavily forested areas in the lower parts of the SW island
Population: 8,706,497 (previous record, unknown now...)
Capital: New London (Population 3,500,300)


Nations Partaking;
The United Commonwealth


Questions/Concerns? Ask away.

This looks good. Mind if I send a clean-up crew? Mind you, cleaning up won't be all of their operation...and it may not go as planned...

Basis of the operation would be clearing away debris from roads, dead bodies, the like. PAB Military NBC Cleanup, so bio-suits, HEPA filters, the works. Real specialised operation. SIC's would probably involve SpecOps business, hunting for the bunker, etc.

We really like our military, as if you couldn't guess :p

*Pauses* I may get involved for exactly the same reasons why I was ionvolved in another (now inactive) thread.

And that was so that nobody would have the biological weapon, nobody living at least...

So that would mean destroying the research facility, burning/decontaminating the island, and killing all would-be researchers after kidnapping their best and brightest.

(For some reason, I'll refrain from carpet bombing the whole island, mostly because it would be a bit too obvious who did it, and in the desire to limit collateral damage to civillians)

Erm...

I'll send a detachment of troops to help contain the disease and send in patrols looking for survivors and useful information.

I'm the enemy that hides as an ally.

hmm...so me and Hurtful Thoughts may end up clashing?

Sounds good. Should put some non-zombie combat into it...

Just the stuff i want!!!

Yeah i think later on once the forces arrive, there is going to be a massive uprising, outposts go missing soldier changed over, they use to use weapons slightly not sure yet just planning!!

Sounds good, just have to find the lab, the scientists are dead, or presumed as word hasn't come from the colony for 3 weeks. My forces are hoping to find any surviors, but they are not optimistic about it.

Does that mean I'm in? :D

And an uprising...sounds like fun. Being overwhelmed, nice big battle of troops versus zombies....this sounds like more and more fun!

I get the feeling I'll enjoy this RP too.

Yeah your in, yeah can wait to start, just gotta do the first post which now that i see intrest i'll start to work on

Sounds good. I'll have to see what we can spare. We're currently "dealing with" a revolution in our region...but we should be able to spare enough.

Just out of interest, how big is the area in question? It affects the number of troops we send. Naturally, if we're covering 100 sq. Miles, we'll send a lot less in terms of troops and equipment than if we're covering 1000sq. Miles.

I would like to join. My nation would bring around a platoon of soldiers at first to for clean up. Mind if I bring some attack Helicopters too?

Now I might be jumping the gun, but you have 33 posts, and most people usually drop before 100, but if you plan on being in for the long run you sure can.

Can I join? I can have troops come in and do clean up. (If you call hunting down dead freaks cleaning at least)

I won't, I have nothing better to do now that Window's Vista won't let me play my favorite game. But thats not the point. I'll stay for the long run.

Alright, just one more thing from both Deurem and Green Hawk... since you are not over the 100 post mark, do you have any posts i can read to see quality?

Deurem what game is that?

And I would suggest more than a platoon. :p

Personal suggestion: Maybe half a battalion, or slightly smaller. I'll probably send a half-division, maybe more. It's a large expanse, so we'll be bringing aircraft and such with us.

If that's ok.

Oh yeah perfect, everybody loves to drop napalms on the living-deadly thingers

The post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12610974&postcount=28) and the thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=12610974#post12610974).

So, tell me what you think? Mind you, I write differently for different types of combat. That that was Anti-submarine warfare, I write ground based fighting differently.

I won't, I have nothing better to do now that Window's Vista won't let me play my favorite game.

Ouch. But at least you have something nice to look at, right? :p

Well here is my factbook http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=525529 and some posts in here http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=523239&page=13

The Game I play is WarRock.

I would like to join this, this sound's interesting indeed.

Hey guys you have to excuse me for an hour or so, i have to go play a scrim in MoH haha, but so far so good.

Ley me ake it clear that there really shouldn't be any need for 1 line posts unless like one of you people is talking to another person's character. Just making it clear.

Sounds good. I should be able to get my first post in late tomorrow maybe (thank God for Bank Holidays). I'll jot ideas down tonight, elaborate tomorrow, etc.

Okay I have decided to join. I'm going to send a Battalion to that small island in the South, between the island with New London and the fat island. Can you give me the major cities on that island?

Whoa just jumping the gun there buddy!

That small island's largest city would be around 750,000, It's name is Norartium.

Looks fun, I would like to take part in this as the New Soviet Union.

I don't want to annoy people here, but nether me or Deurem got an answer to see if we can join or not. Just want to let you know.

id like to play

Sorry I was on for a quick second last night and i saw the guy post already.

So now you two can join but i think thats about it. (Deurem and Green Hawk. Russia you are pending)

For anyone else who wants to join, your gonna have to wait until someone drops out! Sorry Crietz. But feel free to stick around and see if someone does.

Oh yes and i ment to ask Russia as the last person, do you have any RP post i could read to see quality?

Im just making this clear that where we are fighting is not the Delesa homeland, this is a colony of Delesa. Hence the different maps in my sig and on the front page.

Sorry I do not, but I have RPed before with my old nation which was deleted. You can look at my armed forces page if that helps.
