"Cold War" Scenario

Postby Gertovia » Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:22 am

Okay, so I've been thinking, and it seems that no one on the International Incidents forums has done something similar to a Cold War-ish type scenario. So here's the idea:

1. Nations sign up to participate
2. Nations vote for two major powers of differing ideologies, to go head-to-head in a masssive political war( in other words, an influence one)
3. The other, "minor", nations have revolutions and rack up ideologies, increasing the heat of the "cold" war
4. The roleplay ends and one nation survives the cold war, and the other nations are rendered mostly at the will of the new world superpower

This is the thread I plan to use, so if you want to join or ask questions, send me a telegram, and I leave you off with a list of the rules:

1. In order to be a major nation, you have to be voted in and be of differing ideology of the other major nation
2. Minor nations are allowed to wage war, while major ones can only support a minor nation in one
3. Revolutions happen only in minor countries, but major countries, again, may intervene
4. At the end of the roleplay, one of the major nations fails to have enough influence to win, and thus falls, leaving the other nation the victor of decades of conflict

As soon as we have around 5 nations, we can vote for nominations of two specific nations to be major nations, and then pick the side were on.
I personally volunteer to not be a major power, partly because I feel like playing a minor natin to be fun, partly because in my heads roleplay, I'm the leader of an island nation, who has a guriella military of only 10,000 strong.

Great, we've already acuried two nations, one minor nations and one that sounds like a major one. So again, got any questions, don't forget to send me a telegram.

Actually, I think I'll use one of my alts. This one being a "capitalist paradise", I'm afraid that would skew the results of the scenario.

Sometimes I'm reading through military threads here, and I stop and think "What the hell is wrong with all of us?" But then I get on Facebook, and realize I'd rather be insane than an idiot.

Alright, this means we only need one major nation to start, although more minors could be apreaciated. So, any extremly liberal democracies/communist dictatorships to become a major power?
P.S. just say your edit, just make sure to inform us that it is your alternate nation

Ah, and Iron Fist consumerists join the party. If I may ask, do you want to be a major or minor nation? Voting should start soon.
Edit: I see you've already put minor nation. sorry, I thought you were a new person joining up.

Yeah, this is Lolzieristan. I'd be willing to break Lolzieristan character to play as Communists or Fascists for the other large nation, though.

Great, but first we'll need to figure out the ideology of the second major power. By the way, just to ask of course, would you minor nations our there be willing to roleplay a different ideology, like communisim, or facisim, so we can make clear lines on where we place our support?

Yeah, sure. Just to make sure, if nobody objects, we can start now instead of vote. That is, if no one objects and wants to be a superpower. a.k.a. Major Nation

I'd like to sign up as a minor nation, my country is currently divided between hard line right-wing nationalists and socialist trying to gain dominance over the army.

I'd be interested, and have TG'ed Gertovia about this.

NOTE: Other uses of Astholm here have a different continuity and refer to work created by the user Astholm, not the nation

Great, a nation divided. A cool thing I suppose, one wanting to join the anti-facist far-right capitalists and the other wanting to form a new one itself. And Astholm, I'll be sure to check it.

Here's the deal. If I RP as Lolzieristan as a major nation, I'd be willing to play as a major nation that's focused on its military and aggressively expanding. If I RP as Mosulistan, I'd play as an Iraq-style dictatorship fueled by a cult of personality and exploiting the Great Game to gain regional power. Either way is fine with me, suffice to say I'm fairly familiar with both sides of the Cold War and can throw myself into either side well.

Because the other guy is also far right, I could move more to the center politically to provide an actual choice, other than "far right" or "far right"

Oh ok, that could work. Provided I am also a major nation.

Also I think we should use RP populations for this, something realistic, not 5 billion versus 2 billion with a bunch of nations at 5 million people, or something like that.
