The Colonial Crisis (OOC MT Open)

[Kalumba]

Provisionally yes, but i want everyone else involved to agree to accepting a new nation into the RP. And i still need to see if this is going to continue or if it's dead.

[McNernia]

Thats cool man I suggest that a minimum be instituted, 1 Paragraph 4-5 lines?

[Kalumba]

Quality over quantity, i would never institute a minimum post size because people should recognise what is expected of them.

But none of that matters; Norvenia cannot continue, so unless Southern Cynocephali returns as Lycaon this is finished. I will give them another 3 days and if they are not back involved by then, i will wind this up.

[McNernia]

Perhaps I could get involved as the peacekeeper ....the federation seems like the perfect state to do so. But then we have tribalism issue which might screw things up. Or Mcnernia could be the one helpling Lydenburg smoke out the BAPL. Also would you like me to be the new mother state or will you continue with the defunct Norvenia?

[Lydenburg]

I don't approve of Mcnernia's involvement here just yet.

You claim 'the federation' would be the perfect state to step in as peacekeeper, yet this shows why i am not sure if you are ready to take part in an RP like this. Nation 7, the one you have claimed, took part in the invasion of Kalumba during The War on the sole basis of trying to grab the sea port of Muzera. Why on earth would Kalumba allow troops from a nation they see as hostile to land on Kalumban soil to prevent former allies of Nation 7 from invading? I still believe you have failed to read the OP and as such makes me question your suitability to take part here.

Also how could Mcnernia get involved? First they have no relations with Kalumba, Norvenia is the nation from which Kalumba is descended so was trusted implicitly to defend Kalumba's interests. Secondly how can you expect Kalumba to allow foreign troops from a power whose former colony invaded Kalumba to act as peacekeepers in their interest.

And no i would not like you to become my new mother state. I thought that would have been made obvious when i pointed out that everything that has happened in this RP is canon to Kalumba's history so Norvenia could not simply be removed and replaced with Mcnernia. Had you done a little background check on Kalumba you would note from my NSWiki entry that Kalumba has been saved by Norvenia in two wars and both nations have a strong history together which took a long time to plan and i will never see rewritten, replaced or removed.

[Lydenburg]

Kalumba, please ask Mcnernia to write a new sample post. The writing provided earlier is one that he's already sent to me several weeks ago and doesn't necessarily reflect how he will presently perform in this setting.

Say, a scenario involving fireforce tactics? Basic enough for any decent military writer who is as acquainted with bush war-type RPs as he claims to be.

[Kalumba]

Thanks Lydenburg, ok Mcnernia with that knowledge i would like you to write out an RP based on this scenario:

Location: 3km west of a small native village, in light brush with a single small vlei between the brush and the village and a dominating kopje (hill) 1km to the north of the village. The village is 60km south of the nearest military base.
Combatants: You- a platoon of Paratroopers, with one transport aircraft, two Allouette IIIs and a light attack aircraft. Soldiers equiptment- your choice.
Hostiles- a 15 strong cadre of guerrilla fighters with 2 RPG-7s, the remainder with AKMs/AK-47s, in the group is a political commissar and a military advisor from behind the Iron Curtain.
Situation: A spotter plane has sighted the guerrillas moving towards the village, you job is to intercept and destroy the cadre before they can attempt to subvert opinion in the village into hostility toward the government. You must also avoid any collateral damage in the village or too the cattle herd around the village.

You fill in names, equiptment types and everything else. Make it as long or as short as you want and then we will judge you application.

[McNernia]

Let me just say Norvenia is gone , POOF gone. And I accept your challenge Lydenburg I know how fire force is executed Ill do my best

I wish to respectfully point out that Norvenia is still on NS, he's merely using a different account.

Thank you for agreeing to post once again; I will do my best to give your sample an honest appraisal - and Kalumba no doubt likewise.

[McNernia]

I mean the nation is gone so that might be a short term or long term so you have a problem

[Lydenburg]

Not really. We can always ask New Edom to post as Norvenia. It's the same person.

[McNernia]

OH things are interesting on NS ask New Edom

[Kirav]

I'd just like to say that I (the player behind Livensóla and Usaya, in case you were wondering) am still interested in making a go of this, though Usaya's geographic position makes it difficult for me to get involved.

You do share a border with Kalumba and Cyanna, so you could become involved in a border clash or something involving violation of your airspace. Alternatley you could become involved in a peacekeeping role.

[McNernia]

I wonder a violation of Federation airspace by the KAF and I am working on the writing peace

True, true.

[Kalumba]

Kirav if you wanted to play a more major role in the RP i wouldn't object to you being the peacekeeping force. As the colonial master of one of the neutral nations Kalumba has no quarrel with you.

No, Norvenia and Mount Angel are the same person. I only posted because I had thought of joining before and know some of the players.

That might be more interesting. After all, Usaya on its own is pretty much impotent due to its lack of development.

Well it's entirely up to you, as the first nation to recognise our Universal Declaration of Indifference Kalumba would be happy to welcome Kiravian troops on it's soil.

Ah, yes! I do remember that.
