Here is the OOC thread for planning a bit of combat with me, The Blub, and anyone else interested. This is MOdern-Post Modern tech. I would like to keep this limited to around 6 people who can RP fairly well. WMD's are not allowed unless permitted to let the story get better.

WMDs include the following:
Nuclear Weaponry (Atomic Bombs, Nuclear Warheads)
City Scale Explosive (ICBM, Fuel-Air VAccum missle)
Orbital Attacks (Tactical Laser Strike, Kinetic Impact)
Biological Warfare (Ebola, Smallpox)
Chemical Warfare (Mustard gas, Hydrogen Cyanide)


Sides

Mine:
Edonia...
Rechburg
Mui Cephi

Blub:
Blub

Good rules. *nods*

Yeah. WMDs CAN make a story interesting but it shouldn't be a game breaker.

So I figure there can be a trigger to you attacking me. Its kinda stealing from Tom Clancy's Endwar (God I love that game) but it should be interesting:

My country will be sending a shuttle to place in the final parts of a space station. This is a project that is meant to be the first real colony in space. However there is a catch, as this space station has special particle beam cannons that are meant for taking down nukes and other missiles shot. This of course would cause problems with some nations.

Whatcha think?

EDIT now we need more people...

Endwar.. how is that game? I was looking at it.

Pretty good, though it probably would be better with the microphone but the controls are solid and the game is fun.

Anywho, what do you think of the said plot? I can replace the particle beams with anything else ("Rods from God", Marine Deep Striking Capabilities, Missile Strike)

Meh. I really don't like spacebourne weapons for MT.

Is Endwar similar to World in Conflict, if you've played it?

ish, but different gameplay.

As for my weapons, I figured someone in your country can attack the space shuttle launch pad before it launches. So I actually won't have the weapon (until much later). This could spark said war if I discover who did it.

I made it in SimCity4. Took forever.

As for launch pad, Id say the upper left corner of the island

Uhm. The most "advanced" ground unit I have is the BDV, which fires jump troopers into battle. They use jump packs (Which exist in real life) to land, discard the packs and then go into battle. Other than that I can't think of anything I use that's not commonplace.

And.. geeze. Wikipedia has fast editors. I started putting things on rachel maddow's page and they changed it within 5 minutes. :eek:

Modern tech to Post modern tech

Similar to some of Tom Clancy games like Ghost Recon Advanced War Fighter and EndWar. Soldiers with advanced real-time intelligence, better vehicles (hybrid engine, electric). No spaceships, mecha technology (if you have it) is limited to more realistic purposes like the Gekkou in Metal Gear Solid 4. No gundams. No laser guns except for the Satellite lasers (but see WMDs about uses of that).

I posted a response.

If there is anyone who is Allying with me and you want to be a country in the SANDI treaty that is fine. I left that open to interpretation.

EDIT: For continuing plots, someone may try to kidnap/by off/assassinate Dr. Harius

I would like to be in on this in a limited scale, I am strictly MT so Im hoping this doesnt go to far PMT, hence my cautious involvment.
It will not involve the Warlord Alliance of which I am a member

I will have a observation party present at the launch as well as there to discuss the possibility of joining the SANDI treaty.

Understandable. As for PMT, think the Tom Clancy video games, Like Endwar and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Splinter Cell. Nothing like C&C. No giant robots, no laser pistols, and no space ship fighters. The closest thing to a mecha in this RP will be something similar to the Gekkou in Metal Gear Solid 4 but thats it.

And WMD are not permitted to be used in this game unless everyone agrees that itwll help with the story somehow. Check first post in this thread.

Can I join? I joined other P/MT threads, but they have yet to start and have been at the sign-up stage for a week or so.

Also, since Rechburg wants to leave the Grand Warlord alliance out of this I'll RP this as if it took place before Mu Cephei joined the alliance. This way me and Rechburg won't start out as allies.

Just remember, using spacebourne weaponry is prohibited in this thread to avoid .. degrading the RP. Stuff like that always goes south.

Oh, don't worry. I know the rules on WMDS. I was just using the weapon satellite as a plot device to give me a good enough reason to join (find out what is going on IC'ly). Sort of how Edoniakistanbabweagua's space laser serves as the opener for the RP.


Speaking of Edoniakistanbabweagua: is Edoniakistanbabweagua the name of your country as well? Or should I refer to you as something else in the IC thread?

Helicopters DODGING missiles?
Rechburg
06-12-2008, 22:24
OCC Yeah sadly I must agree with Blub (no offence meant blub), its most unlikely an undamaged cruiser would have any trouble dealing with helicopters. You need to damage it with bombs or missiles first, to weaken its defences.
I am assuming Rechburg is to far away to reach the ship so I am out of this initial skirmish.
Units have sailed however.
