Torn Apart: A Country Divided (OOC/OPEN)

by **Vaugania** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 10:05 am

"My fellow Americans, today we continue steps towards the change we need for this country to get back on it's feet. I gladly accept a second term as President of the United States..."

-President Barack Obama, November 7, 2012

"We are disappointed to announce that after confirmed reports of ballot stuffing by members of the Obama administration, President Barack Obama will be removed from office. How a replacement president will be determined is yet to be decided..."

-Chief Justice John Roberts, January 8, 2013

The vote that shocked the nation has thrown the US into turmoil. The back and forth is endless. No solution has even come close to a majority. States are calling it quits and going off on their own. There is no hero to save the country this time.

This is yet another America break-up RP, but this one is a little different. There will be dice! I noticed some of the dice RPs around P2TM and thought it might be interesting to use dice on a larger scale. The dice will be used to simulate conflict. Each side gets a roll and the difference will be used to decide the outcome. Like so:

0: Deadlock. 20% casualties both sides
1: Slim advantage to winners. Winners: 20% casualties. Loser: 25%
2: Slight advantage. Winners: 20%. Losers: 30%
3: Victory. Winners: 25%. Losers: 40%
4: Big Victory. Winners: 25%. Losers: 60%
5+: Utter Annihilation. Winners: 20%. Losers: 80%. Losing force < 3000: Winners: 10%. Losers: 100%

Various things will affect rolls, such as things like an ambush will probably give attackers +1. 50,000 attacking 100,000 will probably give defenders a +2 or 3.

Artillery/Air Strike Battle System

0: Barely hitting. Defenders: 3%
1: A wee bit better. Defenders: 5%
2: A teensy bit better than that. Defenders: 7%
3: Okay. Defenders: 10%
4: Doing pretty good. Defenders: 12%
5+: Locked on. Defenders: 20%

This is just the battle system. This does not mean you have to be fighting someone at every corner. You don't even have to fight if you don't want.

The dealio for this RP is that states make their own countries, blah blah blah, trade, blah blah blah, war, blah blah blah. Youg uys know how these work.

Rules: Standard rules: no godmodding, one liners, flaming in OOC, my word is law

I'll make you guys a flag too if you want, as long as its simple or based upon a flag already!

Anthem
I.
I love you, California, you're the greatest state of all.
I love you in the winter, summer, spring and in the fall.
I love your fertile valleys; your dear mountains I adore.
I love your grand old ocean and I love her rugged shore.
Chorus
Where the snow crowned Golden Sierras
Keep their watch o'er the valleys bloom,
It is there I would be in our land by the sea,
Every breeze bearing rich perfume.
It is here nature gives of her rarest. It is Home Sweet Home to me,
And I know when I die I shall breathe my last sigh
For my sunny California.
II.
I love your red-wood forests - love your fields of yellow grain.
I love your summer breezes and I love your winter rain.
I love you, land of flowers; land of honey, fruit and wine.
I love you, California; you have won this heart of mine.
III.
I love your old gray Missions - love your vineyards stretching far.
I love you, California, with your Golden Gate ajar.
I love your purple sun-sets, love your skies of azure blue.
I love you, California; I just can't help loving you.
IV.
I love you, Catalina, you are very dear to me.
I love you, Tamalpais, and I love Yosemite.
I love you, Land of Sunshine, Half your beauties are untold.
I pledge myself to you~!

Question: How long has it been since the secession, and whats the situation on economies and such?

by **Vaugania** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 3:31 pm

All accepted. Whoops, missed stuff. Landseria, I am not going to include Baja and you need to include a governing style.

Landseria wrote:Question: How long has it been since the secession, and whats the situation on economies and such?

Starts July 5th, 2013. Nothing too spectacular such as economic implosions. But trade between new countries is yet to be established.

Would you mind explaining how something like 20 new countries emerged in less than one year?

Same as Civil War I suppose. "Grr, I don't like you. I'm leaving." You can go with that or the states stopped recognizing federal authority and took control of all government installations.

Meh, I suppose people can explain their own reasons for seceding anyway.

True.

Plus, I don't have to do any work here.
