ooc: just wondering, could we come up with a role-playing scenario where our nations attack the WA headquarters, saying that its a plot for one world government, and we have to bring it down. Could this be done, and would you be a WA defender or opponent?

OOC: No...I don't think so. The last time someone tried that, they did it through political means, and I think they all got banned from the forums or something.

OOC, I'm just talking about a fantasy war here in International incidents, a role-playing WW3, basically for fun.....

OOC:

OH! Sorry, misunderstood. Then yea, sure, go ahead! Its all for fun and roleplay!

Want me to start a new thread for this purpose?

I'm pretty sure that most people don't even acknowledge that it exists in II.

huh?

huh?

OOC: I believe he's stating that most nations RPing (or a few, whichever is the case), Role play as Independent Nations that exist outside of WA control and do not allow themselves to be prohibited by WA Laws set forth therein. Basically stating that such a war would probably need to be drafted up around the lines of Role Players supporting the WA, and Role Players not supporting it, and that this possibility could be an impossibility as most people don't Role Play their nations in membership to the WA.

*gasps*

Sorry, bantering on.

ooc: Oh, ok, maybe we could notify some WA nations, get them to join the "war"

ooc: Who of you would be interested in taking part in such a "war"?

ooc *hands Anagonia a glass of water*

*drinks* Thanks man.

Now, Edward, you can. Probably by starting a thread and opening it by describing IN DETAIL how the Role Play should commence, rules of engagement, and whatever else should comply with your idea of how this "war" should commence. One example is not allowing nukes, but allowing chemical weapons. Either way, if your going to start it, make sure to put some mind into it first. Study up on the Forum rules if you haven't already, and embrace the idea that your fellow NSer's have different opinions of how to role play and do their nations. Going beyond this, posting up your thread you should have in mind that it should be for enjoyment, and fun. Not strict and full of rules.

*drinks some more water* Gosh this is cold...

It probably won't have much rules to it, I haven't gotten into role-play much here. Should i start with Edwards Street attacking the city where the WA is "based", and the other nations would join in on both sides starting WW3?

Yes! Thats the idea! But make sure your stating this is an RP, of course. If you go right in and make it seem your attacking the actual WA, people may tend to lean away from that. Of course, all NSer's, most of them anyway, enjoy the possibility of entering into a Global War with their Nations. So you should have a lot of participants.

Should I make sure that the title line says something to the affect of "just for role-play", kind of a disclaimer, that it is just limited to International Incidents?

Thats not exactly what I meant. What I mean is that as far as most players in MT are concerned, the WA does not even exist ICly.

That is a good idea. For example, you could start your thread like this:

Notice: This Role Play is intended for International Incidents Only, and is not intended to represent an actual attack on the World Assembly. This is a "just for fun" RP! I invite all nations to participate by choosing to be either Pro-WA, or Anti-WA, and let us have a fun global war!

After that you could place rules, regulations, and whatever else. It would be advisable to place something telling who's on who's side, and who's the enemy. Like placing the nations that are Pro-WA in their own category and those that are Anti-WA in their own. That way those participating have an easier time telling who's on their side, and who's isn't, and it adds a diplomatic flavor to things for those nations to get a chance to Role Play with someone for the first time.

Thats not exactly what I meant. What I mean is that as far as most players in MT are concerned, the WA does not even exist ICly.

I deeply apologize for my misunderstanding, and I understand your point. But the thread idea is still good, as it allows another flavor of fantasy role play to the International scene.

OOC: Number one, a war against the World Assembly would likely be ignored by all serious players. Number two, declarations of war against the world or against the WA were usually considered spam during my last go-round here. Number three, even if you COULD declare war against the WA, there are so many nations in the World Assembly that it'd be impossible to do well.

Perhaps you could look into joining an alliance that isn't the World Assembly or create something that opposes it. That'd stand a better chance of being accepted widely.

You can't fight windmills. Or built-in game features. The WA is untouchable anyway. Some choose to ignore it, some don't, but this idea is silly.

*Edit: Specially as nobody actually RPs the WA, thus just like declaring war and invading a NS that doesn't RP is utter godmodding and poor RP, doing such is.

((OOC: I don't recognize the WA as even fathomed in II; it really depends on who RPs in the thread, and it obviously couldn't be canon (As in, permanently effecting anything).

Or, someone could actually ICly form the II version of the World Assembly; then it could be canon, plus, it'd be really interesting for everyone taking part.))

I believe most are missing the point. The respected Post Starter is stating that he doesn't desire to do a canon post that represents the ideals of the WA in actuality, he merely is stating a Non-Canon Fantasy Role Play that deals with a very different aspect. Like Earth 2 role plays, encouraging people to look outside the box and enjoy, for a time, another war that has nothing to do with their canon nations.

The aircraft carrier Granite City continues on course with it's carrier group, only about 20 miles of the coast of World Assembly City, aircraft are now launching for airstrikes against World Assembly headquarters as troop ships with over 500,000 soldiers follow about 50 miles behind the carrier group preparing for the land invasion to come in a few hours. King David the III goes on international TV, "The time has come, the World Assembly's plot for world government has been exposed, I am now requesting additional nations who oppose one-world government to unite with Edwards Street to destroy the WA headquarters, to preserve the sovereignty of all nations on earth, it's time that this abominable organization be destroyed forever" "Long Live Freedom!"

What are you going to do with half a million soldiers when you get there?

I mean, it's not like the city was even in a real country, the way you put it... Are you just bombing diplomats of nations that don't RP/aren't aware of the situation/won't ever respond? Because that sounds like a waste of time.

Really though, what are the soldiers gonna do when they get into the "city"?

The post has been started, if you are interested, join, I just wanted to have some fun, with a ridiculous scenario of attacking the WA, I thought it would make for a good war scenario, a WW3, if you will, break out of the box ;)

Whoa, Whoa, I didn't even realize that there were that many rules to this, World Assembly city is a fictional city that I created, the headquarters of the WA, I'm going to destroy the city, and headquarters to put an end to the WA, and start a world war between WA and non-WA nations

The soldiers are the landing force, killing and destroying anything WA related that's left after the air bombing.
