Fallout: Louisiana Blues | OOC | Dead | Final Post Pending

[Elerian]

Alright, well I think we will be doing a reboot. However, I'm not going to be starting it for awhile, so hang in there and I'll tg those of you who want to rejoin when we begin. Though, this time things will probably be somewhat more focused on the tribes and towns as well as characters rather than paving the way for the BoS and Enclave who we didn't even have all that many people interested in, or active with for that matter. So keep a watch out for others who might be willing to join and I'll hopefully be able to crank this thing out within the near future.

[Tayner]

You should post a closing post for all the factions and characters. Like :

"Wile Victor and Hugo sucessfuly lead the mercanary force to victory in Vendetta, Gunny jumped on a grenade saving other soldiers. "

I don't care what happens, that's just the first ending that poped into mind.

[Kazarogkai]

Real sorry guys, been busy and I lost interest in this for awhile. If y'all are willing to continue, we can. Or is you guys so wish I suppose we could reboot. The only problem with rebooting is we likely won't have nearly as much success. I suppose we could change the setting and come to a consensus on what happened here in Louisiana(as in who got the treasure, etc. etc.), then in the next installment we could reference this as if it was canon, or maybe have some of our characters have reprising roles.

Its up to you guys, and again, sorry for my extended absence.

Well, either way would work for me. If we did do a reboot, I'd have to cast a vote for the Chicago-Milwaukee area (with an obvious bias), since we could say that the Enclave got the treasure and secured it in Chicago, or maybe the Chicago chapter of the BoS mentioned by Lyons in Fallout 3 took it for themselves. Still, I'm willing to continue this one. Also I agree with Russian that we should have a smaller land area, for example it would only be the Southern half of Louisiana, since tbh not a whole lot happened in the North.

Hay man that was some serious Rping I was doing up there, possibly some of my best work. I made the best of my situation and I truly did contribute to this RP.

Make the ending reflect the stories of each character and faction, a la New Vegas, and how they interacted.

Seriously did.

Rocky's ending would be along the lines of:

After helping to solve the Plugger murders The Regulator headed toward Rat City and began his own posse of law bringers. The Rat City Regulators brought law and order to the community which began to thrive. Within a decade Rat City had established its own government and the people would always be protected by their skilled and dedicated lawmen, but this would be long after Rocky had wandered off back into the wasteland looking for more people in need.

If the reboot or whatever it's going to be called is set in Chicago or somewhere nearby, I may use Matt Shaw. Not the Gatekeepers, though, they're staying in Louisiana.

"Although not seeing the Enclave rebuild Louisiana as a new, better America, Matt Shaw helped them retrieve the treasure from the New Orleans vault, and later became a commanding officer in Chicago. His military truck was unfortunately lost after it was attacked by several muckdwellers, almost costing him his life. An Enclave vertibird spotted a flare he sent up, and rescued him, after which he helped determine the fate of the Battle of New Orleans." Or something to that effect, anyway.

"After many trifles, the Gatekeepers eventually gained a foothold in the struggle of Louisiana. General Isaac was given a cybernetic leg, and his forces aided the Enclave in their assault on Rat City. Unfortunately, Matthias and company were never seen from or heard from again, however it's rumored that he escaped from the slavers that had captured him. Whether or not these rumors are true is unconfirmed, although Senior Knight Sarah's body later washed up on the shores of Hellenia, along with several chunks of the Natchez. For a brief moment on the morning following the nuclear blast on the Natchez, the Mississippi turned red, somewhat ironically along with the Red River. Jeremiah's body was buried under the ashes of St. Joseph Cathedral outside of Providence. Jacob Crownley hosted the Haven Broadcast, until dying of radiation sickness 40 years after establishing the radio station, passing it down to his grandson."

Again, something to that effect.

I am probably going to do another warlord character, though this one will be a tribal and somewhat akin to Shaka Zulu. Mind you that is if this is set in a more rural location, like say an entire county.

I'm still doing a country person. Maybe I'll be a caravaners. Johson Caravan of Firearms.

Hey Elerian, I didn't participate in this one as it was rather far in when I first noticed it. But I would definitely be interested in it, whenever it comes about. Just keep me in mind, please

[Neo-Chicago]

I probably won't do Shaw. If I don't do a faction, I'm probably going to make a character with no prior affiliations, just some kind of independent person trying to get by. Probably going to be a vault resident, though. Perhaps a cryogenically frozen Vault-Tec employee, that would be interesting.

[Elerian]

It's been quite the journey, and I should be getting up the final post sometime this weekend. I should hope I can do justice to your characters and factions, what the ending may hold is of course what my vision would be, and may not have been what you had in mind for your characters/factions so keep that in mind. I will also only be including characters who I deem as actually having been active, thus if you only posted once or twice with a particular character, then they likely won't be included. So keep that in mind when you're reading the last post, and thank you for your time.

I'll certainly send you a tg when the new RP gets up.

I'm probably going to change things up and play a faction instead of a single character; it would offer a little more room to post frequently without relying too much on other people also posting.

Adhering to the idea of people finding old history books and establishing empires based on them (like Caesar and Alexander), I actually have an idea to make an Adolf Hitler-like character and a new Third Reich (minus the Holocaust and antisemitism). Anyone else like that idea, or is it just me?

Could you also sends me a tg when you start a reboot? I liked lurking and reading the RP, might partake in the reboot.

I think what my character and/or faction are will depend heavily on what the setting is, tbh. I wouldn't make that faction, but if it seems like a good idea to you, go ahead. btw, Elerian, what's the ETA for the reboot?

Sounds more like Mussolini than Hitler but I'm cool with that.

[Prusslandia]

If possible, I'll roll with some tech worshippers. However, if we are based in the urban north, then I'm probably going to roll with a cabal of mad scientists.

[Fascist Russian Empire]

Sounds more like Mussolini than Hitler but I'm cool with that.

There are a lot of differences between Hitler and Mussolini than just antisemitism; hell, there's several differences between National Socialism and normal Fascism than just antisemitism. Mussolini, and Italian Fascism, for example, was not opposed to religion, like National Socialism and Hitler; Catholics, and numerous other religious groups other than just Jews were heavily persecuted under Hitler's regime, while religion in Fascist Italy was not. There's also a difference in how Mussolini and Hitler interpreted race and racial issues; Mussolini did not, by any means, believe in biologically superior races, and directly said that he thought the concept of a master race was ridiculous, while Hitler, of course, believed the Germanic ethnicity was inherently superior to all others.

The reasoning behind Italian and German expansionism, also, was very much so different. Hitler wanted to adhere to the Lebensraum doctrine, and acquire living space for his master race. Mussolini, on the other hand, wanted to restore the glory of the Roman Empire and expand Italy's land to encompass a great deal of the Mediterranean, creating a new Roman Empire stretching all the way to Somalia (an Italian colony) and the Indian Ocean. Mussolini's reasons for aggressive expansion were based around the concept of uniting all the Italian speaking people under one banner, and inheriting the glory of Rome. Hitler simply wanted vast expanses of land for his master race, and resources to fuel his military conquests.

Monarchism, furthermore, was another difference between National Socialist Germany and Fascist Italy. The Nazis were fervent opponents of monarchism, while Fascist Italy was a monarchy up until the Allied invasion of Italy where Victor Emmanuel III dismissed Mussolini and signed an armistice with the Allies, resulting in the Italian Social Republic being formed in northern Italy. Monarchist Fascism is not quite as big a thing as republican Fascism, but Fascism still leaves a lot more room for support for monarchy than National Socialism, which is a fervently anti-Monarchist ideology.

For anyone to compare Benito Mussolini to Hitler is absolutely ridiculous, just like for people to associate Fascism with National Socialism. The Nazis weren't Fascists, they were far right wing radicals, racists, and antisemites. Fascism is very much so different than National Socialism, in so many different ways, just like how Mussolini was very much so different than Hitler. Don't compare the two. I realize this is by far off topic, and completely irreverent to the RP, but I can't just sit by and watch people incorrectly associate Benito Mussolini with Adolf Hitler.

If possible, I'll roll with some tech worshippers. However, if we are based in the urban north, then I'm probably going to roll with a cabal of mad scientists.

There are scientists down in the south too, bro. Why have mad scientists if the reboot is set in the north, but not if it's set in Dixie?

Big MT style?

I'm almost done with the final post. So far its like four MS word pages long, so it'll probably be quite the read.

I can't wait.

Any idea as to where the next iteration will be located ?

Not too sure yet.

[Fascist Russian Empire]

Not too sure yet.

If I may offer a suggestion, I would say the Midwest/Great Plains would be a solid choice. That region isn't included in any of the Fallout games, I don't believe, so there would be room to make up factions, and there's plenty of space to work with.

Yeah, if it was just in the general Midwest area, I would most definitely pick Chicago.
