The people republic of East Zamonia has followed the armed republic of A Corrupt Empire and has uncovered intel of a plan to attack the new WA headquarters. Therefore, for the safety of the WA and other international interests, we wish to declare war and free the people of A Corrupt Empire

Allies are requested for this crusade on oppression

The Armed Republic of Cascade States wishes to know with some
more definite terms, you have uncovered proof of a corporation which was
plotting against whom?
And this crusade is to Stop Oppression?

Thank you for your time,

ooc:

[whispering in your ear] hey, the WA is not part of the II rp. It is not included on the forums as being a real alliance organization. and this is a crazy lil declaration of war, not very well crafted at all. you have potential but this is kind of not cool. i've seen much worse, but this is not very well thunk out. oh, and most important of all, READ THE STICKIES.[/whispering in your ear]

It was a bit poorly worded as I am trying to combine two reasons.
I have recieved word from a spy I have in Gateville (a rogue group of terrorists whos ultimate goal is to destroy the WA) who reported that A Corrupt Empire revealed plans to let the measure pass and detonate a nuclear bomb within the newly constructed WA headquarters. As for the crusade, Gatesville is a region who must be dismantled later on. For now im focusing on A Corrupt Empire in hopes it will reveal Gatesville's intention to all.

[OOC: Didn't you listen to The Far Echo Islands?]

ooc so you trying to bring down a region ,yur not part of the II rp

So is " A Corrupt Empire " the name of a country ?
Or just a nameless organization?

Would like to clear this up,

A Corrupt Empire is the name of a small nation who is part of Gatesville, a region full of terrorists and such

But I do agree with the other posters,
you should read the stickies and then start a thread,
I'd be up for participating in this probably but it would depend on
what the final revisions.

Cascade States,

I have read them but still don't REALLY understand how this forum thing works. Is it all pretend? Do you type things here and mods make them happen in the game? its so and they dont tell you what the forums actually DO

every thing in this forum is made up as you say,
but most of the War bits are about your nation ( you role play your nation, it's leader and some times the soldiers ) and describe the way you dispose your
forces. But most people are basing their spending on GDP calculators which
you can find online...
then you decide what kind of Bang Toys you've bought, how many and what
quality of training ect....
Find some folks only play in real life tech ( the only one worth doing )
Or historical ( also good )

there are too many people who play in a sort of Sci-fi fairy land where they
have armies of robots and lasers.

But basically it's like playing AD&D and Warhammer 40k,
in that you are the Commander and every other soldier. You also
dictate all the tactics.
Then either you have a Moderator ( not necessarily the game's mods )
But a neutural party who can say Yay or Nay about someone's
actions are okay.
Then of course you've got opposition ( some other nation ) who
is against you...

And you two ( or more nations ) go back and forth and then it ends when
people give up or it is decided that someone is clearly the winner.

That's the basics,

Sounds a bit complicated but I suppose it will work. I outnumber his population by quite a bit. Weapons and such seem a bit over the top though

OOC:
Alright, so here's a basic explanation of these forums...

In here, this is about roleplaying. This isn't game-play. The World Assembly isn't normally accepted as part of the role-play as it's not really a roleplayed alliance.

In here, we roleplay wars. "Pretend" as you say in a way. Be realistic - no "I attack and kill your troops" type posts. Take a look at some of the war roleplays.

Unless this "A Corrupt Empire" guy comes in and will roleplay this war with you, your post means nothing in here.

You're trying to mix the two types of gaming here on NS that dont mix. In the forum, we're about roleplaying. Usually, the only think on your main page that counts is your population. You roleplay how you want your country to be. The other is the "Game play" part, which doesn't interact here on the forums. They do region takeovers, etc.

You're free to do both, however mixing the two doesn't work as it's practically like two completely different games. Think trying to play Warcraft and Age of Empires at the same time. They're two different games. Same thing here.

Please feel free to ask for help, as we are more than willing to assist you in improving your role playing.

If you do decide to enter the roleplaying, do character RP's and diplomatic stuff first while you build up your nation, as jumping into a war right off the bat will only get yourself destroyed. ;)

So take a look at the different RPs on the forum, war or not, so you get the idea of what is done on the forums. :)

The Armed Republic of A Corrupt Empire responds to East Zamonia's declaration of war with a proposal. We will have one evenly matched battle to decide the winner. Both sides will start out with the following items:


1,000 Abraham tanks with uranium depleted shells
50,000 regular infantry
5,000 rocket infantry
1,000 APCs
500 Assualt helicopters
500 Long range artillary pieces
50 Bomber planes
50 fighter planes



The setting will be a large open field with a boundry of 5 miles wide and 10 miles long

well most of the time it's just a matter of national pride,
Which vehicle's and what weapons ( missiles and tanks and such )
are reletively important in that it can add modifying factors like
The Gulf war,
10,000 T-72 tanks were no match for The English and American tanks,
because the modern tech adds a lot against old tanks...
On the other hand,
rebels armed with AK's and RPG's can do quite alot of damage against
a "modern" army if they work out really good plans.
Maps can also be very important in that it really clears things up about
who's where, when and why.....
there are a number of things which come into play,
You should look at several wars that are going on right now on the forums.
I don't know that there are any that are really good,
but it will give you and idea of what's going on in a war if you run one...

I accept as long as its a simple battle and I ask cascade states to be the monitor

what'd you do!? why are there two of me!?

So some ideas,
Usually these are some of the rules players agree to, but you can modify
them as you both agree on.

No Nuclear weapons ( this usually means in the war, they may sometimes
be used as a pregame reason to start a war )

No Chemical or Biological weapons,
( Same reason as Nuclear )

Bombing of civilian targets ( like carpet bombing cities ) is usually frowned on,



Real Life tech only ( this makes everyone's life better )
No microwave satalite weapons, laser tanks ect....

Any thing else you think is reasonable of course.
these are merely suggestions,

I also highly recommend the maps, you can ( as I do ) use google
Earth and copy out real life geographies or draw up and post your own
maps if you like.
It would make my life easier if there were maps,

OH, many people have a In character thread, where the soldiering
and political yelling takes place, and an
Out Of Character, thread, where disputes about specifics can be handled
without clogging the primary thread, most have the same name,
only are distinguished by IC and OOC before the name of the thread.
Also writing "closed" in the title will keep most people out of it, and if you
don't do it, there can be too many people "sticking their oars in your water"
by way of swamping the thread of your war with offers to interject their
offers to assist / hinder you for money or what ever...

So yea, let me know if you are planning to go ahead and if you want me
to Moderate it.
I'd be happy to,
then tell me what time frame you are using and roughly what the
parameters are going to be.

OOC: Thats, umm, an interesting way to settle it, but not exactly the way it's normally done. But your war.

What ever the two of you want to do !
But I would humbly suggest that specific names ( for my benefit )
be given to the vehciles ( what kind of helicopters, APC's ect )

Sounds like an interesting plan for a battle.

I humbly suggest that a slightly larger battle field be chosen, At that sort of
range All of your vehicles would be sitting side by side, and the air craft would
be soo close together that it would tactically speaking, A disaster.

Tanks have a range ( cannon range ) of three miles,
and most artillery pieces, have a range between 7.5miles ( small towed piece)
and 30miles ( or like 45km ) Rockets have just about any range imaginable,
and Fighters and bombers need a lot of space to fly / turn dive all that.
A field this small could be covered by a fraction of your fighter / bomber's
alone.


Just a thought,
or it could be like a good old WWII with massive amounts of men and
material pouring into a small space,

it's upto you guys is all.

Also what about logistics?
No medics? No supply and communication equipment?

It's official, I have jury duty. So I'm effectively off line for the next seven days or so.
But if you all can hold off for seven days I'll probably be back online in a week.
Hope this isn't too much of an inconvenience.
If so, I'll understand.
