A Proposition

The 7000

I've been here as another nation, first off, so I'm not a newb and need no explanations of any sort. So let's skip offers of help and get straight to it.

I'm looking for a nation willing to host my current nation/people/group as an ethnic minority that is attempting to rebel and create its own sovereign nation. This would be good as it would give me a history, a geographical area, and a source of contention for future conflicts. To begin with, I could have a terrorist group of sorts that would be attempting to get this freedom, so I don't have to worry about full scale nation to manage, but I still have something to do.

Additionally, I have a few things I'd like to request:

1. The nation not be adverse to the group committing acts such as political assassination and bombings of important buildings. They are extreme, plain and simple. Additionally, I would be okay with, and actually like, for retalitory actions. I wouldn't mind having important people killed off. Makes good for martyrs.

2. The nation not do stupid things like try to nuke the group or use WMD's or similar ridiculously overviolent methods to defeat them. Simple enough, but the stupidity of some here is still astounding.

3. The nation be in the MT-to-PMT area, and not be adverse to more far out ideas, for example the cat people that Cazelia has, although I probably wouldn't go so far.

I can give more details, like the physical traits, social and religous views and traditions, and such of the group if needed.

Would you be willing to accept a role as a sentient race on one of the outer solar systems in an FT area?

I'll be willing to host this group.

@Scaveutland, I'm sorry, but no. MT or PMT. No FT.

@The People's Freedom, I want to see my other options, but you have preference for replying first.

:confused: sorry for the slight offtopic but what do you mean by MT and PMT???
Nice Idea btw though my nation is too new and too small to accomodate it.

MT=Modern Tech and PMT=Post Modern Tech.

MT would be what is availiable NOW.

PMT is what might be availiable in the near future. Next is FT or Future Tech which is generally spaceships and such.

I'd love to host such a group, and actually, I've been looking for a detailed way to get rid of my current leader anyway to spark up a competition between my five "apprentices".

Here's some details:

My nation is based in the RL lands of Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea, and New Zealand-therefore, you could strategically grab a piece of one of the islands to mount insurgent attacks against larger holdings of my own.

The socio-political atmosphere of my nation is tense already, being technically an Imperial Republic, but with the "Imperial" and "Federal" sides at each other's throats (led respectively by the Emperor on one side and the Chancellor on the other). One's eventually got to die, and here's a great shot. The Imperial side really exerts most authority in the government, and therefore things are somewhat repressive to everything but the economy. A rebellion like this wouldn't use WMDs (I might end up gassing a civilian sector in a "punitive action"), but the government sure as hell would love to strike back. It wouldn't go overboard-you can't kill too many civilians, or the federal side would probaly start a civil war-but it'd certainly be crackdown.

Similarily, my military isn't neccessarily the best to handle a terrorist insurgency, and while that could adapt over a little time with the elite squads of the Shock Troopers and Elite Marines, that could give your people somewhat of a footing to establish a corps of followers.


Anyway, that's my nation. Love to have you as an insurgency. I fly in MT, PMT, and FT, so whichever of the first two you'd prefer would work.

That sounds very good to me. I accept, Amazonian Beasts.

The group will probably be based in New Zealand, mainly because I like that particular area. They will work mainly towards strikes on government facilities anyway, although civilian casualties aren't exactly unwelcome to them.

The ethnic group is the Ithics, while the group itself is the 7000, named for something in their legends.

And I'd go for PMT.

Sounds good to me on all points. Is "7000" like "300"? :D (j/k on that one)

Actually, the story of the 7000 is supposed to be a cultural parallel. They weren't slaughtered in a mountain pass though. Instead the 7000 were a group of warriors who kept a castle safe against a massive invading army and several year siege, kinda like Troy, but without the wooden horse kicking their asses.

No problem. But you should post on my FT thread. Also, do you need a tank for MT? I designed one for the NPE.

I'll need to look at that...you gotta link?

Yeah, I'll head to your FT thread :p haven't had FT action in a while anyway, been locked in MT wars

It's on the draftroom, but I can send it via MSN.

My MSN is on and off atm, I'll see if I can get it to not be retarded (lack of better adjective) within the hour...

So how do you want to start this? An assassination, or an attempt? A bombing? A riot?
Amazonian Beasts

Here's my suggestion, but if you've got better, love to hear.

Have a bombing as one of the Emperor's apprentices (I'll just pick one of the five at random, they're all about equal) leaves a building or something, and it narrowly misses him. He gets fired up (somebody he knows and likes-maybe the apprentice of the apprentice?) dies from the explosion, proceeds to launch the imperial side into a vendetta, and crackdown starts across the country. Yo' boys can get pissed by this (along with citizenry), and progression in acts can begin on both sides (trust me, I'll be doing some nasty things to my own citizens...and any of your guys if I find 'em :D)

All right. That sounds good. I have a follow up notion in mind as well. I just need some details about the area. Like who is being attacked and what the layout of the capital is, just so I know what to have them doing.
