I was wondering if anybody here would be interested in a Tom Clancy's End War RP, or something very similar to it. The moment I saw the website and storyline, I kinda fell in love with it and aim to recreate the way I felt towards it through a unique RP method I thought up, ironically, last night. I'd need three players to run the three factions; the United States, the European Federation, and Russia, as well as other players who would be put in charge of particular divisions, regiments, or even companies depending on the number of players I can get. As for my unique RP idea, I would gladly explain it indepth, although it would take far too much space.

The jist of it is is that the faction leaders would allocate reinforcements, vehicles, and/or equipment to the different units, of which the commanders would allocate how they wanted. The units under a commander would in essence become theirs, allowing him to "customize" them based on his own personal preferences. A unit may be customized throught three different ways; Experience, Equipment, and Training.

Please, tell me what you think!
(If there is any interest, I claim the US.)

You can sign me up. Endwar looks like an excellent game. In fact, I've already pre-ordered it. Naturally, I'll take the Russians.

I will... United States...

Sorry for short reply... didn't want to get fastposted.

Cool. Ruskies it is. I'll get sign ups and probably an offsite board ready soon.

I don't mind short replies. I do them all the time!

Lol shweet... I've always dreamed of spreading Americanism. Even if it is in a RP... lol

I'm an American. I live in the Dallas area.

Hey, sounds cool. Is it just three nations or can there be other people playing too?

Lol.. I'll be China/EU...

Yea, other people can play too! There are only the three "nations" per say, but each nation will need generals and commanders to command the troops.

Sorry, I have no idea what's happened to China in the past 20 years or so in End War. As for the EU, sure, althoguh it is now the EF. Check out the End War website for more information.

Can I be a Russian Commando?

I'd be willing to be the EF leadership.

Can I be a Russian Commando?

As of current, no. We need more higher-level commanders before we can actually get down to the squad and single soldier levels. You can, however, command a Spetsnaz Brigade if you want.

I'd be willing to be the EF leadership.

Let me hear back from Ascelonia first. I believe he may have called it right before you. Not sure. If he hasn't, you'll be leader.

Okay. I'll do that. Heheheheh... Heavy weapons...

Ok Corbournne, you are officially the leader of the EF.

Is this gonna be off jolt or on?

Most liekly off. Too confusing to do it on Jolt with all the things that would be going on.

Could I be an African nation?

Do handheld miniguns count as heavy weapons? *storms the enemy with Heavy Weapons Guys from TF2*

Rofl I did this when end war was annouced a year ago. Way to go mate

No, sorry. No African nations. If you really want to be in government, you could talk to one of the leaders.

Rofl I did this when end war was annouced a year ago. Way to go mate

Thanks. As for everynbody else, I'm going afk. I'll reply to your posts ASAP when I get back.

Do handheld miniguns count as heavy weapons? *storms the enemy with Heavy Weapons Guys from TF2*

Yes they do, although they are reserved for the US (According to an End War video.)

Ok Corbournne, you are officially the leader of the EF.

Alright, cool. I'll keep checking back here until the board is made.

Roger that. I'll get it up as soon as possible.

can i get Canada

Sorry, no. You must stick with one of the three factions. Canada, along with all the commonwealth allies (UK, Australia, etc.) are neutral, and have not joined a faction.

Ah well. I'll compensate with hand-held auto-grenade launchers.

Fair enough American Naval leadership then (um . . .lets go with pacfleet)

I think the Ruskies have those. By auto-grenade launchers, do you mean something along the lines of the MK23 taht the US use?

I could probably make that work, although I don't think navies will be included in the End War game due to their limited size. Pacfleet I assume is the Pacific fleet based out of Hawaii and San Diego, right?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHf_vMd5MOQ (XM307) Modified grips, of course.

I mean that, carried by a big burly Russkie. Or, if that's too bad, one with a slower rate of fire.

Yea, that would work, but only for your elite of the elites, and in very small numbers. After all, not all Spetsnaz are strong enough to withstand the recoil of a HGL like that.

I could probably make that work, although I don't think navies will be included in the End War game due to their limited size. Pacfleet I assume is the Pacific fleet based out of Hawaii and San Diego, right?

ya. And I'm fine with limited involvement (and or low numbers)

Ok. I'll put you up as the Pac Fleet. You'll very likely have a limited role in the RP, as it is mainly land (Includes Rotary-Wing) and limited air combat (Fixed-wing only). Also, there might not be many chances to "personalize" your units as much as land commanders would.

I can't wait for this to start. "Yuri! I see people in that room!" "Yes sir." *THUDTHUDTHUDTHUD* KABEWM!

[/end] Sorry, got carried away there. Won't happen agian.

You know what's hilarious? I was reading what you had typed while listening to a video on Youtube about Russian Snipers in Russian. lol

Yea, I'll most likely get it started tommorrow, when I have more time, or late tonight. I'm gonna wait for more players though. If you have a friend who might want to play, tell him/her about it!

Hey Falkasia. To kick off the RP have the russians start with the invasion of Paris, just to warm ppl up. That's what i did and it went fairly well.

Yea, just like in the video?

Hmmm... Can I knock over the Eiffel tower? A couple of shaped charges on the base girders....

No. Paris get's obliterated by... you know what, I'm not gonig to say. Wouldn't want to ruin it for you.

Ya just like the video, or close to it. It just kinda made sense to me. It could be like the beggining of the war or something.

Ok. I'll put you up as the Pac Fleet. You'll very likely have a limited role in the RP, as it is mainly land (Includes Rotary-Wing) and limited air combat (Fixed-wing only). Also, there might not be many chances to "personalize" your units as much as land commanders would.

lol thats ok . . .and I'll get some of the marine corps so thats cool 2

Not necessarily. With PacFleet, you only get the ships in an attempt to balance things out.

Sign me up as an American.

Not necessarily. With PacFleet, you only get the ships in an attempt to balance things out.

fair enough

Any specific American unit you'd like Gibberish?

As for Dawoad, I'm glad you understand where I'm coming from. I hate limiting a player's RP opportunites, but the Pacific Fleet alone is an incredibly powerful fighting force. In the future though, there may be a possibility that you could get marines. I'll see how things play out first.

Oh, speaking of which, is Canada nice? I've always wanted to go there and see the Hockey Hall of Fame.

I can't wait to start...

I'll hopefully get the forum up today. If you know anybody who may be interested, tell them about it!

ohg no its totally ok. And canada is . . .ya Its nice. I mean I live here so I'm obviously biased but as long as you can take the somewhat extreme temperature shifts its awesome :)

Ok, good to know. I'm still looking for more people. The EF needs a commander.

Anybody else interested?

I have an idea. You could wait(oh my god, who woulda thunk its possible?) just over 2 months and buy the game.

Well seeing as how i did this last time and u need a euro commander, I'll do it.

Ok Oblivion, any specific preference on what unit you'd like to command?

As for you Binary, no comments from the peanut gallery please. If you don't want to participate or say anything constructive, then don't post at all. It's very simple really.

Im getting the forum up as we type, so we should be ready to go soon!

so are we assuming that the eu and us are allied like they were in the book?

No, the EU and US are allied, but from what I've read, the EF and US are on shakey ground.

ok i just thought i'd ask.

Crap... I wasn't on to become Leader of EF... I want to be American NORAD command?

as in WMD Alpha

lol, sorry. No WMDs yet. You'll need to be a division commander.

Well TG me when ur gonna start the RP.

Will do. The forum is up, just adding in the categories and rules and crap and stuff.

The forum is done. All I need to do now is to post the rules. Here's the link:
http://z4.invisionfree.com/End_War_RP/index.php?http://s4.invisionfree.com/End_War_RP/

Yipee kiyae mother f**kers

Everything except the rules and information is up and ready to go. If you signed up, or want to sign up, follow the link above.

No, sorry. No African nations. If you really want to be in government, you could talk to one of the leaders.

Why no african nations?

Can I control US air force?

No african nations because they aren't part of End War.

As for Ascelonia, sorry. You can however, command a squadron. I still need more land generals though. I'll put you down as air force. You mgiht want to reigster on the offsite forum too.

Ypu can make them in... honestly, that leaves out 2/3 of the world... if you do not include Lati America, Africa, or much of Asia

meh. It's his thing, let him do what he wants with it. olus it's based on endwar which only has Europe, America, Russia, and a bit of Canada involved in it.

I know, but I think that the developed world could be important. Some nations go to your side... others do not. Either that, or I will be some Senator (Senate Majority/Minority Leader) in the USA, or Director of Amnesty International, my
time playing USG and following human rights law will help me for either.

i just think it's ment to be just the three world super powers battling. or maybe the minor (no offense to anyone) country's might be taken over by the bigger ones or sumthing.

We'll see. No promises yet, but my main goal is to have mainly the superpowers, and considering the reaction I've gotten so far on the forums, I don't think this is going to last for long.

I am fair with you, if you waant more, I can play a mean West African Confederation (wiki ECOWAS), if not, I can play politics.

Politics for one of the existing factions would probably work out the best.

OK, you gotta tell me: is the US president a Democrat or a Republican?

Republican.

This is pointless. Wait for the damn game. Its like 2 months or something.

Why is it pointless may I ask? If you aren't interested then don't post. It's very simple really.

Why is it pointless may I ask? If you aren't interested then don't post. It's very simple really.

Don't tell me what not to don't to do.

I have a right to tell you what to do, as this is my thread. Either get a better attitude, or leave.

And I am guessing the GOP controlls the Congress, too?

And I am not sure whether to be Senate Minority/Majority Leader or Director of Amnesty International...

And I am not sure whether to be Senate Minority/Majority Leader or Director of Amnesty International...

Either or works. Just don't try to undermine me, lol.;)

There should be two parties for every country, so the power is shared... hence checks and balances. Like one guy could control everything and the other guy could try to get in his way?

I'd like to be a general for US...

I can arrange for you to be a US general most definitely.

Lol... I'd like to wait and see what happens to the EF leadership position.

Ok. Still no word yet.

K... I wonder if there will be terrorist or like minor factions to control... I'm pretty sure that if we get enough people, this will be the best RP ever.

Maybe. It's a fairly large RP to be honest. If you know anybody who might be interested, tell them.

Lol... maybe you could poach some people from my RP...

Maybe.

http://z4.invisionfree.com/End_War_RP/index.php?act=idx

Could I RP as an individual country? If so could I be the United Arab Emirates or Iran or India or Ukraine? Tell me which are available, sorry but I didn't read every single page.

None of them are available. You'll need to RP as a General for one of the superpowers. Oh, and I recommend reading the first page as well.

I read the first page. I'm signing up on the site. My commander commands a large unit of middle eastern soldiers for Russia. Is that okay?

No, sorry. You'll need to command a group of Russians, assuming you want to be a Russian General. Oh, and make sure you read the rules! They explain a lot!

Are you familiar with End War? If not, the reason you can't play any Middle Easterners is because the Middle East was wiped out by Nuclear War.

Lol... You need to apply for a position that is open right now. We need more people as generals for the major powers... When we get enough, then we might be able to talk about getting people into the other minor powers...

BTW... is there a map I can look at to see how much each nation controls?

Yea, I'l lget a map. Not very good at making them, but I'll try and find one.

Shweet. U're awesome at RPing... I'm pretty good, but I'm not good at modding. lol

We really need some more EF and american generals, so for all you looking to join, those are the two in which you should apply for.

Yeah lol... How many generals will we need on all three sides?

Even amount probably. We have msot of the Leadership down too. Just waiting on Corbournne.

Just sign up here... http://z4.invisionfree.com/End_War_RP/index.php?act=idx

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

DO IT!!! DO IT NAOWWW!!!!

Yes, listen to the Terminator. You know what happens when you don't listen to the Terminator!

Oh shit lulz. Ok I'm in. I'll choose an infantry brigade for the EF. It looks like a really good game

Ok then. I think my link to the offsite forums is on the 1936 website, as wel las a few psots back.

<Bump>

Join Now Please I Want This Thing To Start!!!!!!!!!! Ah Lololololol Roflcoptor :p

I think we have large enough numbers to start. I'll get the invasion of Paris up.

I think we have large enough numbers to start. I'll get the invasion of Paris up.

lolwut?

There is a lot of spce between Paris, Russia, and America.

Lol... American has the Freedom Star remember?

Yes, I remember that. The Freedom Star is never completed. The alst section is blown up right before launch.

Hey East Loas, would you be interested in playing your Middle Eastern guy for the EF? They need more divisions.

For anybody else who may want to join, we need EF Commanders!!!

<bump>

PLEASE, I AM THE ONLY EF COMMANDER!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!! ROFL jk, but no seriously join the EF

Come on sign up for the EF, spots are gaurenteed

Can I have control over a Spetsnaz Battalion

We need EF commanders badly. Do you think you'd be willing to play one?

I signed up a while ago, but got denied for it. I was wondering if I could be like a guerilla force with just a bunch of crappy weapons, very few attack planes, helicopters and just contains people who oppose all sides.

Could I please do that?!?!?

No, sorry. You'll need to play one of the factions. You can play your Arab guy if you want, but we need EF commanders.

You said I couldn't before. And what if they weren't in the middle east when it happened? Then they woulnd't be dead would they? And I'll be willing to be a commander for the EF I guess.

You can be an Arab now. I apologize for anything done earlier.

SICK!!!!!

Okay so I'll be my UAE Guy. And his unit that he commands that is now part of spetznaz.

Like i said, we need EF commanders. That's the only thing I'm going to be stringent on.

Come on guys, how hard is it to get sum new commanders?

No idea, but it apparently is pretty difficult.

1st joint strike force is fine for me. do we have to go exactly along with the story or can we improvise?

No, we'll be improvising. Currently, we're just fighting through the Prologue before we go freeform.

<Bump>

Could I maybe get control of a Russian air corp? As in jets and bombers? Or I think someone mentioned a terrorist/rebel type group possibly? And if not...I suppose I'll take a Russian Spec Ops team. If that's allowed?

Terrorists, no. Russians, yes. As for air-power, I don;t think you'l lbe able to command something that large. For the SF team, that would be the best option. We need another active Russian Player.

Cool. I'll run a Russian Spec Ops team. I'll go register and fact book in a bit.

Lol... we have a severe shortage of active Russian players.

Ok. See you soon!

Yea, no kidding.
