The Utopian Crusades: [OOC, Sign-up-ish thread]

Nova Pictavia

The Utopian Crusades

First of all, thanks for taking the time to view this thread, its intended as a sort of opinions, sign up thread for the following proposed RP. All ideas/criticisms are more than welcome.

Firstly, heres a little bit of relevant background to my nation, all other details can be found in my factbook (sig).

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y154/Retro_1989/3-01.jpg

The Commonwealth of Nova Pictavia

A relatively young nation, the modern state emerging circa 50 years ago. In recent years, the Red party (Democratic Socialists) who fought for Nova Pictavia's liberation and unification of the Picts fell from power, losing to the Green Party (Eco-Socialists).

As a result of the Picts appreciation of their homeland, the isle of Hiigara, protecting the environment has taken priority. During the past century, in the heat of the liberation wars, a new religion was born; Terranism. Simply, it is a revitalization of ancient Celtic paganism, based around worshiping Holy Terra (Earth). The isle of Hiigara, and in particular, Utopia Hiigara (See Map, sig) is considered a Holy spiritual centre for the Terrans.

And here comes the interesting part. In the RP, Nova Pictavia is consumed by Terrans. Imagine a war-scarred nation full of pro-green, anti-corporate religious fanatics. And then put thousands of gas-guzzling capitalist nations on the other hand.

You see where this is going?

...No?

The Picts mobilize, and along with a coalition of other pro-green nations (Should you join) where Terranism has spread, create the new religious superpower; The Utopian Commonwealth.

Slowly, one by one, nations are absorbed into the commonwealth, converted to Terranism, and turned against the next target. All in the name of Holy Terra. All in the name of saving the Earth.

Who wants to have a fanatically religious nation? You do.
Imagine the brutality of a war spurred not by civil rights abuses, money or power, but by religion. Imagine a crusade under the banner of earth.

Nova Pictavia
08-08-2007, 00:06
You'd be more than welcome, BL. But with a current population of around 1/5 of yours, I think I'll need a few more religious fanatics first.

Also our nations have been getting on so well lately, sure you can't be converted to Terranism? Its religious crusading at its best, so I'm told...
British Londinium
08-08-2007, 00:10
We're mostly atheists. And Terranism will mostly likely be seen as hippy brainwashing - which accounts for the national fervor to kick ass. Once the RP starts, I'll let Terranism develop for a bit first.
Kirav
08-08-2007, 00:13
I'll join. I find Terranism very interesting. In the Empire, I'd already though t up a religion called Celtitheism/Celtichristianity that blends Christianity with Druidism and related celtic religions. It's very popular in the Imperial colony of Enscirya (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Enscirya).

The Empire follows Turquoise(Leftist Enviormentalism) and a bit of Eco-Socialism. So we'll support the Terranists.

OOC: No offence meant to BL. I know I've been getting on the other end of stuff like Dolphin rights, so, just sayin'.
The Far Echo Islands
08-08-2007, 00:22
The religions (of humans) in the Far Echo Islands pans out like this.

Religions: (in order of prevalence) Christianity, Hinduism, Utopianism, Naturalism, Neo Political Hero Worship, numerous small tribal religions.

In otherwords, the country is ripe for a new religion to take hold. So we will take part in these crusades, we will support Terranism.

08-08-2007, 00:39
Actually, Cetaceans scare me. They're just too smart sometimes...

Anyhoo, added a list of 'proposed' RPers to the first post, just to make it easier to keep track. I'll post an IC thread soon, presuming Terranism to have already grown and spread. From there we can develop the religion further until its time to begin the crusades. I figure t makes sense to only have OOC posts here and IC posts in the new thread once I get round to it...

Sound okay?

Oh, and I'm not too worried about BL currently being our only opposer, they'll be practically lining up to get 'persuaded' into conversion. Them being the corporate nations etc,

Nothin' better than some religious discrimination and a good crusade.

Maybe pancakes...
Delkor
08-08-2007, 00:40
OOC: I'll join my ally, Nova Pictavia. The Imperial Kingdom of Delkor is filled with people that support preserving the beauty of the world. Delkor has very few automobiles, mostly service vehicals, farm trucks, and tractors. Mass transportation of people and goods is all handled by the railways, the largest being Union Rail. We would support this cause with everything we've got!
British Londinium
08-08-2007, 00:43
Just to clarify, though, I'm not against Nova Pictavia per se, just the movement. So I'll be attempting to invade and place non-Terranists in power again.

Also, when the RP starts, are you going to make it closed to those who don't sign up here?
Akodai
08-08-2007, 00:43
My nation would most likely be fighting these guys. However, with shinto being the most prevalent religion in Akodai, it's likely that you'd find more than a few Terranists.
Akimonad
08-08-2007, 00:47
If the Terranists start stacking up against BL, I'll help him out. With a small force.

It would be interesting to have some half-way nations in the RP. A sort of... gray area.

Also, when the RP starts, are you going to make it closed to those who don't sign up here?

Nations will be allowed to join in as the RP is underway, I just don't want the IC thread spammed with 'can I join in', and also this gives us a chance to stop any nations that may be unwanted from just jumping right in. So, in short, anyone can sign-up here at any point.

EDIT: Players list Updated. Akimonad and Akodai are in with BL for the time being, if that's okay?

I'm good either way. I'd like to commit a small force to the Corporate side.
The Far Echo Islands
08-08-2007, 01:00
We may be a slightly gray nation, we do have those Neo Political Hero Worshipers, and they usually follow the Grand Arbiter's religion, which at the current time is a devout Christian, and some of the older tribes may resist change as they have in the past. But who knows, CFEI has always been a 'greener' Earth friendly nation since its inception.
Nova Pictavia
08-08-2007, 01:04
I suppose very early PMT, with sort of experimental modern weaponary, say circa Earth 2012. That's a sort of compromise between both.

Soulforge you're added!

TFEI, your nation could always act as a mediator in the conflicts until the time has come for your 'conversion'. God saying 'conversion' like that is creepy...

Not really, but I'd still enter the RP. We'd have your nation request support from mine. I'd then honor our alliance and send forces to your aid. On a side note, as most of my military budget goes to the navy, these are the only forces I'd be able to commit. However, I have contacted my regional ally, the New Uchihas. His nation's army troops specialize in commando opperations. Hopefully, he'll join in.

08-08-2007, 01:09
Nah, my nation uses THEL's already. I was wondering about individual soldier laser rifle-type deals. But since it's apparently MT, this statement is obsolete.

Hopefully, the Utopian Commonwealth will come into formation. Between then a series of terrorist attacks on major corporations within Nova Pictavia, and reprisals for the Liberation Day bombings. I'm also going to declare a state of mobilization within NP too.

Mainly waiting on the Pro-Terranist nations to declare alleigance to the greater good of Terranism or something similiar, so the crusades can begin...

Budda C: 30% of airbases are now fully out of commission. a further 50% are impaired in their deliverence of aircraft due to restricted runways. 33 Servicemen on the runways at the time of the attack were killed.

Could you RP the damage to your godrod platforms from the missile counter-attack? Since I'm presuming your network is still overhead.

I've made a generous offer in that thread.

SOmetimes I feel like the blasé parent who always make offers to get their kids asses out of the fire......again. I mean, Indo-Aryans in Tartarystan, Terranists in Londinium, what unwanted similar-in-some-way-to the-EMpire group am I going to grant citizenship to next?

Need to know how many F-22's you have in the air. Also, I do believe that since you had to transport your air force to the commercial air ports that would take a large amount of your time. And also to fly them from were they are to here. (I agree that several air ports would probably be the first to the seen and in short time.) But there is still the fact that you it would take a while to move your air fleet in transport planes from point A to point B, most of the time.

Now, did my little 'presents' hit your city yet?

P.S.
Sorry, it took me so long and now I have to log off, so I'll post tomorrow.
Nova Pictavia
14-08-2007, 12:49
Taken into account the point you have just made, only 60% of the F-22's in Stirling are off the ground. This puts their numbers at 240. The remainder of the airforce over Stirling is made up of (Scavenged aircraft and the survivors of Inverness) some thirty AV-Wraith ESTOVL and twenty F-35's which do not require large airstrips to take off.

As for Stilring, well, she's burning quite nicely. There are already an expected 300 Civilian casualties and 83 rergistered troop losses.

Also, isn't your submarine fleet at Stilring still fighting the Delkorian sub fleet in Inverness? I've probs read it wrong but I'm confused anyhoo!

Yea, they are, but since they submerged I this will be quick.

BTW: You stated that you were shooting down the satellites of mine you were tracking, but are you shooting down my 'television' satellites A.K.A. my spy cams?
Nova Pictavia
14-08-2007, 17:27
All Cnian satellites are being tracked, however only those who demonstrate mechanical movement above Pictish Aerospace or those who enter this region matching the description of your previous weapons platforms are being targeted at this moment.

I doubt we'd have sufficient evidence and resources to bring down every single Cnian satellite...
Buddha C
14-08-2007, 17:42
So operant (Is that even the right word?) television satellites would not be targeted as they don't match the weapon's platform's description? Anyways, my war machine is gearing up to surround your mainland with Marine-occupied islands. Oh, and Napalm is a lot harder to put out than regular fire, and white phosphorous is actually a gas that is super-heated.

BTW. Buddha C is a Socialist nation, but I recognize your right to let our propaganda, but as soon as we start controlling section of your government say hello to religious and idealistic reconstruction. Even though that would take a large amount of time re-shape your nation into the Buddhist Isles, (Yes, I have named your nation. :p) it's an expenditure we are willing to make to stop your nation from going on a crusade.
Nova Pictavia
14-08-2007, 17:49
:p Buddha C is far from a socialist nation, even though you have dubbed it 'United Socialist States'. Not according to your NS page anyway. I am also aware of the effects of Napalm and White Phosphorous, I'll RP the effects next post. however I'm not sure that all your aircraft would have got through, as many of our fighters would have been scrambled as soon as alerted.

Also, since I'm presuming you must have carriers in the region, what is their location and strength?
Buddha C
14-08-2007, 17:55
No carriers, my aeroplanes get re-fueled mid-air when necessary. Yes, you can exploit this to a point, though they do take shifts so that they can get covered. And by 'not all get threw' do you mean the submarines, aeroplanes (Sterling, or Sterling port?) Tell me which one, the number of enemy aircraft in-air and location, and the amount of ordnance fired at w.e of my assets you targeted and I will either edit my post or post casualties in the next post.

True, but we're using our national name to help sway your nation's people that we are not full of corporation, though we are more right-leaning than a Socialist nation should be.
Nova Pictavia
14-08-2007, 18:14
OOC post 92 states the volume of Pictish air support flying at the moment, moving to intercept your aircraft. I was referring to the aircraft not getting through, as your subs would largely be difficult to track. Could you RP the damage done to them after the counter attack by the Grand City's Fortress de Costera?

Stand by for an IC post as soon as I get round to it lol :p

*EDIT*

In reference to your nations war against us for crusading reasons, no crusade was declared. This was the only IC communication sent to foreign nations regarding this:

To all nations who continue to pollute the earth:
-Your time has come. Terranism is the only path to life. We will fight for our right to survive.

(This could easily be interpreted as a purely defensive statement in the face of so much discrimination and pending genocide against Terranism)
Buddha C
14-08-2007, 18:25
It could also be manipulated or say 'edited' by Cnian government owned newspapers to justify our war. But who know? :p Anyways when I first read it I kind of heard the words 'Your time has come' and well, drew this kind of conclusion. But the Cnian government won't say that they made a mistake after losing troops. Anyways, post updated.
Nova Pictavia
14-08-2007, 18:47
As I understand it, your governments in a pickle. You [The Cnian Gov] have justified your attack with slightly fabricated reasons, in other words, stretching the evidence.

If so, would a suitably fair Cease-fire not be a generous option? I'm sure the Cnian people would rather avoid a total war with a nation they've never had relations to than send all their young men into a meat-grinder all over our right to first strike defense. :p

Oh, btw. Do you like my little battleships fleet. :p

It's big, but not that impressive. I've noticed that most people just say something like, "My fleet of (1-100) Iowa-class (or made up-class) battleships..." , most of the time with other 'American' classes. Just having the numbers doesn't make a fleet impressive, in a ooc sense. When this situation is done, I suggest taking time to organize your fleet. Put the ships into groups with escourts, ex '1st battle group' or '2nd attack force'. Use some other ship classes, real or not. Take the time to name them, set up a numbering system, etc. Trust me, after finishing that, you'll sit back and say to yourself, "now THAT's a fleet!" Feel free to use my own system (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=528624) as an example and template. To be different from most people, I use mostly Russian ships. If you notice the subs, I'm starting out with older designs and slowly advancing to modern standards. Try it out. It can be highly entertaining. I don't mean to be a critic, just offering a suggestion.

Also, has anyone realised how many 'Iowa-class' ships exist in the NS world? There's more Iowa's than holes in George Bush's head! :p

TSRT,

You were still not given permission to participate, as for your comments I sent you a telegram to which you never responded.

What is the justification for your attack anyway? As your still not on the list of Rp'rs on page one of this OOC thread, I'm not going to reply ICly to your attack. Sorry if it seems rude, its just for the sake of the war, I wouldn't last long at all if i let every other nation just invade. After all, we are against the huge Buddha C after repelling BL's attacks, i think we deserve a break...

If your attack is justified and your intentions here are made clearer OOCly, I'll happily reply to the attack.

Sorry again if you feel there's been a lack of communication though. That was my bad not to reply to your last comment here.

Just to let you guys know, I will be posting ICly sometime today or tomorrow. I'm going to do some research on my model of Hercules planes and check if it has some kind of protective blanket that I heard was used in Vietnam to protect the American bombers from being shot out of the sky, of course there's also a whole in this blanket, but first I need to find out if my model of the Hercules plane even uses it. Also, could I get a detailed map of your nation, I.E. Forests, Plains, Plateua's, Large Rock Formations, anything that could stop a bullet or could help our troops hide behind would be really cool. But first, home work time. :D

17-08-2007, 02:24
I didnt know you wanted me to reply to that telegram.

Anyways, I was going to make my justification be that there was a small Terranist demonstration prior to my missile launches. The protest was(of course), crushed by the Intelligence-Commissarat. The General-Secretary, however, began to see a countrywide Terranist conspiracy controlled by your government. So he decides to send your nation a message, delivered via 3,000 ICCMs.

So, in summary, its in retaliation for a threat posed by your nation that exists only in the mind of my leader.

The Utopian Crusades

First of all, thanks for taking the time to view this thread, its intended as a sort of opinions, sign up thread for the following proposed RP. All ideas/criticisms are more than welcome.

Firstly, heres a little bit of relevant background to my nation, all other details can be found in my factbook (sig).

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y154/Retro_1989/3-01.jpg

The Commonwealth of Nova Pictavia

A relatively young nation, the modern state emerging circa 50 years ago. In recent years, the Red party (Democratic Socialists) who fought for Nova Pictavia's liberation and unification of the Picts fell from power, losing to the Green Party (Eco-Socialists).

As a result of the Picts appreciation of their homeland, the isle of Hiigara, protecting the environment has taken priority. During the past century, in the heat of the liberation wars, a new religion was born; Terranism. Simply, it is a revitalization of ancient Celtic paganism, based around worshiping Holy Terra (Earth). The isle of Hiigara, and in particular, Utopia Hiigara (See Map, sig) is considered a Holy spiritual centre for the Terrans.

And here comes the interesting part. In the RP, Nova Pictavia is consumed by Terrans. Imagine a war-scarred nation full of pro-green, anti-corporate religious fanatics. And then put thousands of gas-guzzling capitalist nations on the other hand.

You see where this is going?

...No?

The Picts mobilize, and along with a coalition of other pro-green nations (Should you join) where Terranism has spread, create the new religious superpower; The Utopian Commonwealth.

Slowly, one by one, nations are absorbed into the commonwealth, converted to Terranism, and turned against the next target. All in the name of Holy Terra. All in the name of saving the Earth.

Who wants to have a fanatically religious nation? You do.
Imagine the brutality of a war spurred not by civil rights abuses, money or power, but by religion. Imagine a crusade under the banner of earth.

KEY:

Blue Text= Nation's military campaign in the Crusades declared inactive

To Nova Pictavia,

The Most Serene Republic of Krenta would like to support your movement, as we care very much about protecting the earth from pollution and the like which is causing everyone pain step by step, with every drop of water wasted and every fume of toxic waste flowing freely in the air. But, with our very liberal principles on religion, we only introduce it to our people to give them a better view of the world. But, other than that, I believe my people have the right to chose what they believe, whether it be a God-centered religion or atheism. We pride ourselves on the right of choice. So that means we would not like any actions being done to try to convert our people away from the religion they believe in. But, really, we do believe in protecting the environment and try to do our best as a nation to conserve and protect. So this is your choice, to accept us for siding with you in protecting the environment, or to deny us because of our liberal attitude in religion. Anyway thank you for your time.

THAS! Taken your time buddy, lol :D

your always welcome!

TSRT, since the odds are being stacked up against Buddha C, your attack's cool. Just one question though, is it traceable back to TSRT? Also the ICCM's are going to hit Rothesay since neither Cnian or Londinian forces have been there.

Yeah, the ICCMs have IFF. Their nationality should show up on RADAR screens.

EDIT: Oh, and its the Totalitarian State, not Republic. Just a FYI.

I just have to say, nice map, Pictavia. Well done. It acually does seem to resemble the RL Pictish homeland in Scotland, that is, in terms of vegetation and such.
Nova Pictavia
18-08-2007, 00:15
Thanks, it was drawn up very briefly. Hopefully I'll base a more detailed map on it later as well.

You seem to know a lot about Celtic and Pictish culture? A fellow Scot maybe? :p
Kirav
18-08-2007, 00:29
Actually a Scotch/Irish-American, but I study Celtic cultures as a hobby. I'm also an Anglophile (notice how I've said "defence" and "harbour" in these rps).
So, yeah, I know quite a deal of this, but not as much as a native. Are you Lowland or Highland?
Nova Pictavia
18-08-2007, 00:41
Its complicated, basically though-

Born in Glasgow (Lowlands)
Raised in Inverness (Highlands)
Now live between Rothesay (Western Isles/ Hebrides) and Edinburgh (Lowlands)

I'd strongly say I'm a Highlander, though, that's what the accent gives away anyway :p

Where are you? America or Britain or Ireland?

I need some synopsis of what's happened since my last post. I can't read all those posts right now.
The Far Echo Islands
19-08-2007, 19:59
Heres a sort of ok one. But it will be best to read all the posts.

1: NP came back and asked for a cease fire.
2: BL agreed as he was being invaded at the time and then he withdrew
3: Sterling is getting pounded
4: I am calling for your surrender
5: Kraiv joined back in
6: We formed a combined fleet (Deklor, NP, Kirav, CFEI)
7: I deployed a bunch of ships to the warzone
8: Thas coast and Payal moved into the conflict
9: I deployed a kick ass new battleship (not to NP yet but it is on its way)

well, that is the most important I think.

If I do get back in, there will be some serious fluid timing.
Nova Pictavia
19-08-2007, 20:22
Erm, not so sure on the serious fluid timing, but acceptable to an extent.

The combined Fleet is currently in combat East of Inverness with the Cnian Invasion Force. A full peace treaty has been signed between i and BL, including fair and hospitable treatment of his wounded by NP and 30 Billion USD war reparations sent from BL.

Could your fleet perhaps just enter the Huge Naval battle East of Inverness? Just presume your fleet had followed us there continuing the engagement.

My onlu nitpick is that my ICCMs are flying a bit low to be hit by Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems. They can be hit by low-level anti-air systems, so you should just modify the post to say your firing low-level SAMs. Thats it. Will post IC Reply ASAP.

Meh. That depends on what Buddha C wants. I assume that it's mostly about capturing all of NP.

If someone can confirm that, I'll post.

I like it. However, may I suggest one alteration: Applying nations are highly encouraged to elevate Civil Rights and Political Freedoms to a high standard to ensure the respectability of the Alliance.
I suggest removing or relaxing this requirement. Delkor is a dictatorship, ruled by the High King. I suggest that you edit this to say something like "this is optional, not required". Otherwise, nice work. :cool:

Anyway, I'll be more than happy to coordinate your forces should Buddha C surface again, which is another matter...

Buddha C (If your actually there), are you likely to be posting ICly anytime again? Because this absence is becoming increasingly lengthy...

Secondly, TSRT, you pushed so hard to be part of this RP and now we've had no input from you concerning the communications from my government to yours in the IC thread. Are you in or out?

Sorry if this seems pushy, but I'd like to continue with other RP's, but since the future state of Nova Pictavia is looking uncertain due to the outcome of this war, fluid timing is a bit of a no-no. If, in fact, this RP is not going to continue, I'd appreciate an IC cease-fire or at least OOC notification. Thanks for putting up with that rant...

Back on topic, I had a huge strategy for crushing his navy all lined up as well, I only wish I could 'av carried it out. Oh well, for another time. In other news, I'll jump straight back into the Utopian Commonwealth during my big massive awesome comeback to MT.
