Right all, basically I'm after an RP that shows the current instability within Kellun. I've not decided exactly what I want to happen, and thus leave that decision for when I know who is interested in doing what to my nation.

A more detailed background will be provided once the IC thread starts, but basically several weeks ago the markets were at the highest they had been for a long time, the economy looked good and the future was promising. Then several large banks announced much lower than expected profits, sending the markets into turmoil. This caused a run on several major banks, including those whose profits had been higher than predicted. From there, everything started going a tad sideways.

Just a few basic ground rules:

1. Offering me financial aid. Just don't. It seems to be a 'quick fix' and whilst it may work in some cases, it won't here. Trust me on this and don't send financial aid.

2. Military intervention. If you do go down this route (and please ask for my permission before sending your hundred-million man army at me, I might not like that many, but a smaller number might be better) remember that just because the economy is faltering, that doesn't mean my armed forces no longer know the difference between a bayonet and a rifle bolt.

3. Subversives. There are a lot of groups that disagree with the government covering the entire political, social and religious spectrum. If you want to support one in whatever fashion, let me know what kind of people you're after supporting and I'll give you a few choices. Consider it almost a dodgy-dating service.

4. Unannounced arrivals. When the IC thread is opened, if you haven't posted here, or TG'd me, and been confirmed, do not post. If you want to join after the threads started, that's fine, just post here and I'll consider adding you in if your idea fits.

5. Have fun. Oh the cliché, but I see RPing as a bit of fun for all involved.

Any questions, or to sign up, reply here or TG me!

I wouldn't mind doing something like this. I would limit my forces to around 300,000 max in the nation at any time and my nation is made up of werewolves and vampires but they don't depend on blood to live. I don't depend on their natural form for much things but I keep them in human form.

I'm willing to send a terrorist into your country to help with the discord :D. Not working for the CM government, but residing there nevertheless.

CM, your terrorists sounds good, always a few of those folks knocking around ;) Any idea as to ideologies or goals? Whatever the case, I'm sure I can work them into the grand scheme some how.

Lynion, how would that 300,000 break down (Navy, air wing, ground force)? As for Vamps and Weres, that's fine by me. Gibletization by hand grenade or 500 pounder kills almost anything.

Mini-bump to drum up interest!

The economic problems could cause our banking supercorporation to get involved to gain a monopoly over Kellun's banking industry

I like your originality and capitalistic thinking! Consider the Kelluni market open to whatever money-grabbing corporation wants to set up shop in nation, so long as proper approval is obtained from the Department of Trade and Industry, of course

I like the general premise, though i'd be more intrested in Regime change. I'm thinking initially a handfull of operatives, contact local groups, try to drum up popular suport and if that fails send in the stormtroopers.

The terrorist I'm considering sending in is familiar to those who participate in my threads. He's a one-man army ;). But he's strongly opposed to cloning, and will do anything to stop it.

Excellent, the International Banking Syndicate will start a subsidiary bank in Kellun

I should really have explained more detailed and I will.

I capture an island or land outside your nation and use it as a base of operations so that takes up around 100,000 (just say). The main fleet and the army that goes with it will total around 200,000. I have around 400 pilots with a further 300 reserve (incase one of the pilots is sick or is dead before the battle) with a further 1,300 as maintance and supply's arms, repairs and fuel to the aircraft anf anything else to the pilots.

190,000 is left over

150,000 is made up of the main army and the remaining 40,000 are in the navy. The 100,000 left on the outpost is made up or the air force, navy and army as well as the medical sector.

Have I left anything out?

Sounds fair to me. Kellun has very little in the way of sizeable islands from where to station an entire force that size, especially not far enough from the mainland that is won't get shelled to the stone age by artillery just across the river. I think it's best for me to plonk a smallish, uninhabited island some three to five-hundred miles off my coast to spice things up.

Sounds like a bit of a handful! Whilst not overly into cloning, my nation is pretty lenient about genetic engineering, and has experimented with "spare-part" clones.

Ah, that old trick. Sounds fine by me, and I'm sure you'll be able to find a disenchanted group ready to take up arms for whatever cause you're promoting

The only cause i'm promoting is this one - do as i say, i have a big gun. But i'm discreet enogth to suport anything, pretending to have silimar goals. My basic intention is to see to it that a friendly goverment is installed, so i can get some tasty goverment contracts and make a big fat profit.

Hobbeebia is willing to support a specific group do you have the list?

Oh no... You've pissed him off now... If you hear a ring on your doorbell, don't open it unless you like looking down the barrel of a gun :D.

Socialist Federation
The largest legitimate Socialist party within Kellun. Probably not willing to actively partake in violent uprising, but would most certainly point anyone interested towards one of the other socialist groups that might be willing to use force and are in no way whatsoever connected with the Socialist Federation. Honest

Red Revolt
One of the armed groups. Responsible for several high-profile assassination attempts on government officials through the years, it has run almost into the ground by a highly effective and long running campaign by police and security forces. Now little more than a small handful of devoted supporters with little access to funding or arms to continue the war they started.

Rapture
Extremist Christian-based cult who believe the Rapture is imminent (and has been ever since the group was founded over six decades ago). Whilst not actively violent, their opinions of the non-devout (AKA anyone not holed up in their bunker waiting for the end) can be summed up as "Kill 'em all and let God sort them out"

Nationalist Coalition of Kellun
Far right party advocating the removal of all non-whites from Kellun. A legitimate party, they've had little impact on the national stage, but have captured several local seats. They've been accused of using intimidation, violence and bribery to gain their current position.


They are the "Big Four" I've had in the nation for a long time, but there are literally dozens of other, lower profile groups, ranging from religious nut-cases to well-armed quasi-security companies to the high-level organised criminal gangs. Some I'll go into in more detail over the next few days if it's needed, others I'll throw together as they are needed, if ever. I've got a lot of ideas for groups, so if one doesn't match what you want, I've probably got one that does.

I'd be willing to 'back and betray' the Nationalist Coalition of Kellun or Socialist Federation

TG for you Kellun...

RedTide, TG back at you!

Belschaft, you can try both if you want :P

And I'll probably get the ball rolling with an IC thread on Monday or Tuesday since I'm completely cut off from civilisation this weekend.

Ooo... i hadn't thoght of thay. How can i use them against each other.......?

Far left vs. far right. I'm sure we'll work something out ;)

Last call!

I'm looking to get this up and running in the next few hours, just got to make that first post, then we'll be off.

There's still time to join, if you want. Same process as always applies, post here, and I'll approve/deny your request based on its merits and my mood. ;)

Would you be open to a 'personal' RP? My nation wouldn't necessarily be involved (they are a live-and-let-live kind of nation) but if order does break down, I'd love to RP the only child of my country's president trapped inside your country, trying to get out.

Say she is with a 'Red Cross' kind of relief organization, and her team is attacked by some faction that is looking for supplies or hates the outsiders in their nation / thinks the relief group is a cover for spies/government moles.

That sound good to me. Should make for an interesting line to go down.

I would like to send economic aid or supplies (if possible) and a detachment of Lynion Hunter's and Assassin's (5,000 at the most) as military aid. If there's something wrong please say so.

Financial aid. That's a no-go I'm afraid, it's a bit of a quick fix that I don't like. As for your troops, what would their purpose in the nation be?

Stablising the nation and making sure a national government is put into power. If its already done, then we're to aid the national military force behind enemy lines. If there is a specific job then please feel free to ask me it.

If there is a foreign VIP in the country, then it looks like there's something else for my 'freedom fighters' to do.

Oh no... You've pissed him off now... If you hear a ring on your doorbell, don't open it unless you like looking down the barrel of a gun :D.

Can I guess he has numbers in his name?

Actually, can you let Lynion send aid, so then I can send a gang of pirate to take the ship over? They'll be supporting any party who pays them enough, basically mercenary like. They'll stop opposing troops in the sea and attack other groups inland, while robbing them as well.

Avalic, no offense but my transport isn't by shipping so nice try. If it was by navy, then it'll be heavily escorted.

OOC: Darn, oh well, I can always raid their towns. I should have air pirates or something, but those aircraft are expensive to replace and hard to buy, especially if you being hunted. Though what about if you land the supplies, but we ambush you?

Yeah, supplies won't land for days but the main supplies won't land on the ground nor will it be in naval transport ships. So really, I'm bad to do a raid against.

Won't land on ground? What are you talking about?

You used ground and naval but never aerial. I use airborne aerial transport carriers to hold the main supplies and equipment and getting onboard is like Fort Knox.

Aerial? What about after you landed and left, I ambush the people who you sent the supplies to and kill them all and take the supplies for the pirates? Aircraft have to land at some point.

All a bit of a moot point as financial aid is a no-go. You could, I s'pose, raid the supply lines of anyone on the ground (there's the Kelluni Military, but that could be suicidal, a safer bet may be the factions and the red-cross type organisations working in nation).

Actually if it was a plane, I would've called a C-370 Hercuales but I didn't so really, ever head of the Valiant from Doctor Who?

Can I raid towns not protected by the military/without military bases nearby? They'll use sarin gas, I already made a story how they acquired it, unless you don't want me to kill civilians that way. If only my country was a dystopian society where anyone could get any weapon desired.

Teleportation? I could still raid it.

The Valiant from Doctor Who is an airborne aircraft carrier. I took a similiar designed and created the First Imperial Lynion Aerial Armada. I use airborne transport carriers to transport supplies and equipment.

I see, but anyways, the entire idea would be scrapped anyways now.

You could, if you wanted to. Obviously given the financial situation people aren't going to lay down and let you take their possessions. Even those cities without a major military presence have Reserve barracks, similar to the TA barracks in the UK, so they'll always be some form of organised resistance.

Like I say, just because the economy is a little unwell doesn't mean I can't kick butt :p

So exactly what's going to be going on? This is sounding more just like a flat out invasion...

Ideally I'm trying to limit troop numbers that people are sending to prevent an all out invasion, because that's not what I want. I want something with more subversive undertones. Foreign peacekeepers may eventually be allowed in if things go significantly sideways, and I'm not opposed to small, strategic forces of enemy operatives mixing things up, so long as they can convincingly RP their way into my nation.

Detachments of a few dozen or more are going to be really hard to sneak in. And just sailing/flying into Kelluni territory is a bad idea too.

But I want to keep as far away from full-on invasion as possible. Because that'd be shit and no fun for anyone.

Ok cool, that's what I thought. I'm just trying to start an innocent little bank, if it just so happens they try and seize the banking industry it'll be purely accidental :rolleyes:

I would be interested in trying to establish an intelligence presence in your nation. This would be conducted by Directorate 27, possibly with support from Directorate 31 and the RVMF. The general idea would be to gather intelligence on the area and cultivate contacts - some of these may be inside the security forces, or industries such as arms manufacture and so on.

thanks for the approval! I've got a great plan for this gal...I kinda wanna give her a Tom Clancy "Jack Ryan" type of personality after a while. She's a level headed young woman fresh out of college (say about 20). While she has a BA in Historical Sciences, she also has a fascination with the stars so she minored in Astronomy. (I thought I would mimic a gal I know in real life for that part. She's quite interesting...I'll have to tell you about her some time).

Anyway, our "Jacky Ryan" happens to have a father who happens to be the President-for-Life of a nation on the rebound. She feels the need to help out in the world because of all the information her father receives about the hundreds of countries in need...she wants to do some good in her life so she become a relief worker.

This will be her fifth 'deployment' to a relief site. However it works out, I'd like her team killed (Which she witnesses!) and her (and maybe one or two others) kept as hostages or something like that. I don't care why the rebels/ultra-nationalists/fascists...whatever...attack the relief site (supplies, because they think it's a setup for government/foreign/alien whatever spy unit, or just because they don't like foreigners).

The only thing I want to make clear is while she may be hit or struck, no one assaults her, kills her, or..well...doesn't do much more that backhand her or slap her around a little. (probably because the daughter of a national leader is a bargaining tool best left alone and unharmed....relatively )

After that I was thinking my prez gets word his daughter is captured, sends in a small, three-man Spetsnaz team to retrieve her. She is retreived by the team, ends up that two of the team die and she and the low man on the team are the only one's left. They help each other along, trying to get extracted from the country. Whatever group on their heels, and the whole deal is she finds out that she has more strength, courage, backbone, and determination than she ever believed she would. She gets a crash course in Spetsnaz training (rough as it is) and she teaches her rescuer a few tricks from the history books to help them stay one step ahead of her captors. Her eyes are opened up to how she can help the world..by helping to stop the men who start the problems, instead of being reactionary and just giving out aid after those men have sown their evil on the people.

Probably a little over the top? Anyway, just a quick brainstorming here. kinda wrote it in one shot as it came off my head.

Yeah, but these pirates aren't exactly run of the mill. They have some military weapons since they stole a shipment of weapons in my country. Though what firearms do the people have? Just warning you, I'm using sarin gas.

EDIT: Wait, can the pirates kidnap her when they attack the town?

<---Snipity Snip--->

That sounds like a fantastic line to run with. It could almost be Clancy's next novel...

Yeah, but these pirates aren't exactly run of the mill. They have some military weapons since they stole a shipment of weapons in my country. Though what firearms do the people have? Just warning you, I'm using sarin gas.

General populous will have pistols of any kind from modern full auto machine pistols such as the MP7 (although not legally) to antique revolvers. The Reserves will be much better equipped, to pretty much the same level as the regular army, so all members of the SA-80 family will be seen, including the L98A1, along with heavier stuff like the M2, Minimi and anti-armour weapons. Like I said, these boys are the real deal, albeit only for half a day a week normally ;)

DO they have gas masks? Just so you know, the pirates own assault rifles, pistols, sniper rifles, a few mortars, grenades, automatic rifles, and a few machine guns on ship.

Maybe my terrorists could be sent aswell, perhaps with a few money making speacial forces? my speacial forces speacialize in speacilty terrorist operations, that are speacial, lol. Perhaps i could assist Avalics pirates, hmmm? it could be my country seeks to extend its borders, and plan to do so by causing your nation to lose so much money, that we can buy you out for bargain basement prices. ie the economy is so bad, that we buy as many companies as possible, and after awhile we control so much, that you are almost a part of my country. thats the master plan possibly. with a little "nudge" in the right direction, in the form of terrorism, and big barrels, with big shells.

I like the idea, it beats the "Crush you with numbers". What size group are you thinking of?

All military personnel have NBC equipment for when the unit expects to face such a threat, so they will have them in barracks. Whether or not they can reach them before the gas takes effect is a different matter.

Civilians may or may not have a gas mask, depending on how they live.

OK, I've got a good idea of who we've got and what they want to be doing, so I've posted the IC thread here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=560116). However, there are a few things I still need to clarify with a few of you. Lynion, how many men will you be sending in total to help aid in keeping the peace? Avalic, how many men will your pirate force consist of?

As far as I can tell, the only people who already have boots on the ground are Karshkovia, so the rest of you will need to RP getting folks into Kellun, however that may be done.

can I Guess He Has Numbers In His Name?

Maybe...:D

i'm thinking like 20 terrorists, and about 1 squad (five guys) of speacial ops. they are like the guys in http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=1AN5KpUecBs&feature=related. the terrorists would be an organized ring, and recruit a few of your people maybe?

There's 50 pirates in that crew, though they'll have contacts that give them men to buy their "services" and weapons.

Avalic, im sorry for not asking for your permission, ut my terrorists are signing on to your crew as temps, and my speaclia forces are stowing away on your ship. as soon as they reach kellun they dismbark, and begin causing chaos. am i allowed t bring my genetically modified polar bears and the USSPPs penguins??

Fine Daiwaz, but special forces? I'm fine with that, though I don't know what you mean by polar bears, are you going to release them on the townspeople?

just random.forget the last bit.....

Can we have a list of whose involved and what there doing/backing Kewen? It would make life easier to know who the competiton is.

This is taken from the thread. I don't know how many will actually end up taking part, as it was a good while ago I started drumming up interest, but this is what I gots.

Kellun - Economic collapse imminent, turn left.
Lynion - Peacekeeping / assistance force
Conserative Morality - Terrorist
----kenny---- - Monopolise Banking
Belschaft - Regime Change
Hobbeebia - Regime Change
Red Tide - Regime Change
Karshkovia - Trapped civilian
Avalic - Raiding parties
Russkya - Establishing intelligence presence
Dalwiz - Capitalist take-over

If I've got some wrong, feel free to correct me.

I've got slightly more than regime change planned long term. I'm thinking annexation, at least partially.

never knew there were so many, but the part about mine is pretty much true. perhaps add *with terrorist assistance to collapse of economy* since thats what im attempting.

Got a PM for you Kellun.

well, this looks like it's gonna be fun. good luck to all those involved!

WOO! Go crazy anti-cloning anarchist! *Sips drinks, eats popcorn*

Right, to clear up what I think is a simple confusion over names, you are dealing with Kellun, a modern tech nation, RP'd as having a population around 600 mil.

Kewen from what I can gather, is a future tech nation who has diddly-squat to do with Kellun or, indeed, this RP.

This has been a public service announcement from the Democratic Republic of Me. Normal service will resume shortly.

Thats right but I'm still trying to find out how many troops I'll be commiting.

Is it alright if I send in my troops to stablilize your country? Basically I'm trying to make you a protectorate until you can sort out your internal problems.

I don't mind peacekeepers once things start kicking off, but I'm not overly keen on the protectorate status. Kellun is fiercely independent, so that might not go down too well with the locals.

maybe you should send them in, and seeing the politcial unstability, you try and take advantage of it?

Also I should point out I've all ready called Anexation.

I don't mind peacekeepers once things start kicking off, but I'm not overly keen on the protectorate status. Kellun is fiercely independent, so that might not go down too well with the locals.

Protectorate Status just means that we manage your defense and foreign affairs while you solve your instabillity. Or I just go in and start extracting your resources.

the second one will be more interesting

For what reason(s)?

that's what most of us are doing, but maybe you should have a few crooked soldiers. they see a business opportunity maybe? you send in the forces to assist, and these guys cause problems.

I got a better plan. Corporation sees business oppurtunity. Needs military. Promises 10% of the revenue to the government. Government announces intention to help. Government hands over an army Division (60,000 men), an air force group (500 planes) and a fleet pair (a carrier fleet and a LPD fleet). That sound good?

say, would it be possible to get a rough map of your country, location of major cities, major roadways, rivers, mountains, shores and such?

Also, if you could indicate where the White Cross camp is, I'll be better able to plan out an escape and such later. Thanks a bunch.

If you have any questions or what not, I made a map (http://myweb.cableone.net/bschott/Karshkovia_files/relief2.jpg) (though it's probably a bit more detailed with the terrain) for karshkovia a while back that you could look at to get an idea of what would be good to have for reference.

I've been working on a map for the last few nights on and off (about 45 minutes in total each evening) so I should have a rough draft up in the next few hours. It'll be pretty basic, only showing the mainland and not the small islands off the northern coast. Other than that, it should show most of what you need.
