RP Think Tank

Here is a link to the RP Ella2 6, http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic ... #p29942876

Do you want to be Co-op?

We'll see.

I've got a lot of spare time on my hands, so I'll definitely think about it.

I want to do a mystery rp. So far my idea is that some one from another country is murdered in my country by a member of a third country. It will become an important news event as the case unravels. Potentially causing an international incident.

Interesting, the victim could be an envoy or a Diplomat, or worse, the leader of a nation.

The victory of the South in the American Civil War lead to crushing taxation of non-slave owner parts of the Confederacy to support thew Slave holding Confederate parts. The Arkansas Rebellion of 1874 resulted. When the Confederate Army was crushed at the Battle of Little Rock, The slave owners themselves went on a rampage. Mass gang rapes of infants and toddlers and other inhuman methods were used on the rebels. It so alienated the mass of the people that the Confederacy by 1876 only Consisted of Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. As of 1940, this nation is the most backwards and reactionary nation on Earth, similar to the Taliban or Isis.

The United States is only Maine, the rest of America are a series of nation-states. I am Fuhrer-President Adolf Israel Bubba of the Kentuckiana Reich. We are the nation consisting of Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas , and Oklahoma, Only our commitment to mechanization and the Bill Of Rights have kept us free. WE are one the most technologically advanced nations on Earth. This is a diesel punk world of alternate history in which gyro-copter gunships, submarine air craft carriers, Mech suits, and other technological wonders are commonplace.

In our world WWI ended in disaster for the Allies because of two reasons: Britain stayed out the war and the British Empire still exists fully as it did in June, 1914. Secondly, the Confederate States of America allied itself with the Allies and the dragged down them by dragging into a war with the Kentuckiana Reich. The Ottoman Empire was conquered by Japan in 1915, and Japan's Empire now consists of all of North Africa to the Indian Ocean. Israel exists as Jewish satellite state of Tokyo, although the Imperials favors independence, as Israel is a great source of technical knowledge for The Empire.

Russia fell into the Soviet Union in which Lenin shot Stalin in 1919 and Lenin still rules in 1940. The Austro-Hungarian Empire still exists as in 1914. Mussolini rules Italy, Germany is Nazi, but Klaus Adler replaced Hitler and is much more reasonable in his goals for the Reich.

Lenin died of natural causes just after the end of the Russian Civil War. Trotsky was supposed to replace him but Stalin fixed that.

I think you focused too much on the backwardness cruelty of your alt history south and not on other more important details. First, what non slave holding parts of the Confederacy? Are you suggesting the South won and conquered land? Besides you don't get child molestation and a Taliban like state from Southern ideology. The Planters saw themselves as aristocracy, and tried to behave as such. Their main concern would be a slave uprising and their reliance on exporting cotton and tobacco. A confederate rump state of 4 states still holding slaves would be pitiable, poor and weak. North America would attract less immigrants and be smaller. It would not be a major player in a WW.

A Southern victory as the cause for the falling apart of most of the US actually makes sense. An actual rebellion to leave the Confederacy wouldn't make sense, because the members could secede.

I am not sure there can still be a WWI without Britain. The German and Austrian Empires would conquer like crazy. Austrian would annex half the Balkans, and Germany would set up a satellite states in Eastern Europe. Austria would probably be destabilized by their acquisitions though. I don't know how the Japanse could conquer the Ottoman Empire though. Too far away, and the Ottomans had a hard enough time holding on to it. Makes more sense that they take off a chunk of Russia.

If Germany doesn't lose WWI, that means monarchy is still a dominate force, and strong enough to restore the Czar. The German Navy, not having to face the British and American navies doesn't mutiny. Italy would not join the obvious losing side and in fact would probably want to take territory from France.

Without German defeat in WWI there can be no Weimar Republic and no Nazism.

The German Empire Collapsed in 1929 with the Great Depression. Hitler camp to power in 1933, but was shot by Klaus Adler in 1934.

Modern day RPs are very popular, apparently, and RPs set in 2016 appear to dominate so I'm going to attempt something a little different, though, admittedly, not much. It will begin in 1992 and will use real countries entirely. However, there will be plenty of Alternate History. Most importantly, the Soviet Union was dissolved as normal, meaning that, at the start of this RP, it has been ended for less than a week. This results in a major economic and humanitarian crisis in the former Soviet Union, as economies that were dependent on the open borders of the Soviet Union collapse at the loss of business and poverty, crime, corruption, and homelessness skyrocket across Eastern Europe. Several former Soviet Republics, namely Russia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, will see a massive increase in mortality rates among the workforce. This crisis could result, combined with far different national leadership (Players will decide who is running their countries, although they will still need to keep in mind the historical situations within their countries), could lead to better or worse outcomes than experienced in real life. Due to the time period, the unrecognized states of Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh, South Ossetia, Transnistria, and Ichkeria can be claimed. However, these are VERY small countries and, given the current climate of Eastern Europe, as likely to be granted independence as they are gobbled up by the bigger nations.

Any treaties and documents signed after 1991 don't exist yet, however we can implement those as they come around. This means that, for the time being, the list of nuclear capable nations is: The United States, The United Kingdom, France, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, China, and India. An argument could be made for Israel, since they are believed to have built their first bomb in the 1960s.

As far as alternate history goes, it is limited to changes after 1980. So, theoretically, whoever claims China could have the 1989 Democracy Movement succeed rather than being crushed by the Army. Only real countries can be used initially, so combining territories from different countries into one country (i.e. Megali Greece, China-Taiwan merger, State of Palestine [for now]) are not allowed.

I am looking for interest and will post an OOC thread in the next few days. If you are interested, please telegram me and I will send you a link to the OOC when I put it up.

The German Empire Collapsed in 1929 with the Great Depression. Hitler camp to power in 1933, but was shot by Klaus Adler in 1934.

The Great Depression was caused BY World War 1. Without the United Kingdom in World War 1, there would be no global war. The war would be limited largely to Eastern Europe, the Baltics, and the Balkans. Since these countries would fall quickly to Germany and Austria-Hungary, the war would be relatively cheap and would result in little, if any, economic catastrophe. Even with the Great Depression, the German Empire was a strong, military state which would be bolstered by having crushed the Russians and their allies in the recent war. Hitler wouldn't be able to come to power because the Empire WOULDN'T collapse. The ONLY reason he came to power in the first place was Hidenburg. With the Monarchy still in power, Hindenburg CAN'T become President of Germany and CAN'T appoint Hitler as Chancellor. Without that, Hitler can't merge the offices of President and Chancellor into the office of the Fuhrer. You are attempting to create a leadership that simply CAN'T exist due to your history. The weakness of the Weimar Republic and the threat of the Great Depression COMBINED with the humiliation of Versailles resulted in Hitler's rise to power. With no Weimar Republic, you have no President Hindenburg, no Chancellor Hitler, no Nazi regime.

The possibility of Southern victory exists only as long as Stonewall Jackson lives. So unless he survives Chancellorsville or Antietam is a Confederate victory, it is impossible for the South to win. They are outnumbered and outgunned. All advantages belong to the North. Industry, food, personnel, everything. The union blockaded Southern ports, which prevented the South from receiving help. The Union Army had more than two million men whereas the south had no more than 1 million and by 1864 they were drafting boys as young as 12 and men as old as 60.

And a Confederate victory would result in a more North Korea-South Korea relationship. Abolitionist movements in the North would keep the US together as would a far more centralized government. The lessons of the War Between the States would make the US far more distrusting of fringe states and the military would be loyal to the central government other than the states. In fact, that was implemented in 1860 at West Point, leading to the civil war.

Hey all, I was looking around on this thread and noticed that advertisement was permitted. Thought I'd just take the opportunity to shamelessly advertise my RP that I'm hoping more people will make and application for. So far I have 1 confirmed and 1 semi-confirmed player who are making their apps, though I'm waiting to get another player or two before I get the IC up. The link is here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=391875&p=30133206#p30128797

As for what the RP is, it's one centered around illegal street racing on the highways and mountain passes in Zolevskoy, the nation I use all the time for RPing. I was inspired to make it by various sources, such as Initial D, Wangan Midnight, and other street racing movies and video games such as The Fast and Furious and Midnight Club. There are several types of races that can be done either on highways or mountain passes, or depending on what the rules are, one or the other. They can range from typical point A to point B races, time trials, and even some more creative ones such as Car swap races where both competitors race in their opponent's car, more risky ones like pink slip races where the loser gives up their car to the winner, and much more dangerous ones like duct tape deathmatches where one racer's hand is, as the name suggests, duct taped to the steering wheel, while his or her free hand controls anything else they made need to, such as their gear shifter. I'm also open to participants coming up with their own type of races. I am relatively relaxed on what cars participants use, however I advise them not to go with anything like a Lamborghini or Ferrari as this is illegal street racing, not a legal world championship on a track.

Other than that, I could go on and on about the ideas I have for this RP. Everything else you need and/or want to know is in the OOC/interest thread I have linked above. Anyways, have a good day or night, and drive safely (in real life of course, haha). Hope to see you guys there.

Hey!

I admit that I always have been trying to start a war RP, one with deep story and resembling an actual low intensity conflicts, with lots of factions, actually RPing diplomacy and geopolitics as well as media.

I was trying to originally do that with Kastavania but the RP failed due to lack of interest.

I am now asking if there would be any parties who would like a co-OP in such scenario. It won't be launched now, but I would like to know how much "Demand" there is for RPs like that.

... Or maybe I am deluding myself that anyone wants them.

Always an interested party right here.

I just think that, most of the time, people either lose interest because it becomes the same repetitive plot or because life gets in the way. But I've been in one RP recently that just won't die. Mainly because the guys playing it keep it interesting.

Sometimes, it's the little things that matter. I'm interested, but I'm alright participating in like 3 RPs. Not sure if I'll be able to attend this one.

I wouldnt mind getting into that RP with you. Im more hard PMT with some High PMT elements.

Titanic

---

It is April 10th, 1912. The R.M.S. Titanic has just set sail on its maiden voyage, and the 2,228 passengers and crew on board are just beginning to settle into their new home. As the smooth waters of the Atlantic rock them back and forth, the First Class passengers lounge in lavish smoking rooms or enjoy state of the art indoor pools, gyms, and elaborate, expensive cabins. Below them are the well-to-do Second Class passengers, not able to enjoy quite as nice facilities but certainly having a grand time in the finest ship to ever set sail. And finally are is Third Class, confined to the dullest of rooms but happy that they have been able to save up enough funds to make the trip across the Atlantic to America.

Some very wealthy and important people are aboard, such as John Jacob Astor IV, Isidor Strauss, and Benjamin Guggenheim. The passengers are safe in the knowledge that the Titanic's crew are the finest and most competent Britain could offer, and are certain of a quick but swell voyage across the Atlantic.

Little did they know that far away, across the Atlantic, waited their fate. The Titanic's destiny was locked with this craggy iceberg- the vessel was doomed to go down by its hand and become a sea tragedy unparalleled by anything up to that point, or for long after.

---

Titanic is a character roleplay where you will guide one of the unfortunate passengers of the doomed ship during its voyage and subsequent sinking. Can you survive the perils of the sea, and one of if not the most well-known shipwrecks in history?

[The Celtic Confederation I]

Hello, everyone.
I am really bored out of my mind, and really pesimistic abbout creating my own thread.
I am looking for some RP with PMT elements, not too much war not too much diplomacy.
If anyone has a recommendation, please give it.

[Helsary]

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=394673

Basically, it's an RP idea I've wanted to kick off for some time, and tried to one time before, but no one showed interest. Hopefully this time it'll get people involved.

It's about the infamous Sereter Cartel operating on the northern coast of Helsary. Their cocaine exports have reached unprecedented levels, and, after the DTF (Drug Task Force) seized 18 tons of cocaine that were being transported in a cartel truck disguised as a garbage truck, the cartel attacked the DTF's headquarters in Sereter City, killing everyone and freeing the smuggler that was arrested by the Drug Task Force.

You can roleplay as a country that the cartel exports to and wants to put a stop to the drug kingpins, or you can support the cartel in order to try and destabilize the government. Whatever you choose to do, I'm almost certain some really good roleplay will come out of this.
