Description of RP

Welcome to Crows and Crescents, a modern world RP based on the current conflicts in Iraq and Syria. With the current geopolitical balance, the various factions in this powder-keg of the world and the conflicting sides of a seemingly endless conflict, we bring ourselves to an impasse, which is where you, the player, comes in. Take the reigns of a nation, faction or movement and send ripples through the world as we know it, with this middle-east centric RP, you are able to combine the power that comes with the Islamic Ideology, the conflict of ethnic groups like the Kurds, Turks, Assyrians, Persians and Arabs, while looking at the sheer strength vested in corporate capital, in this case, Oil.


Application Process

The application process on this RP is quite different from most RPs, unlike others Reservations are not definite, this is to avoid inexperienced or undesirable players from blocking others from creating potentially inspiring nations, you can still make reservations but the OP can overturn them.

Reservations are allowed, however others are allowed to apply for reserved regions, the better application will take precedence. Co-OP's can accept reservations as well as apps.

Rules
Most of the rules are quite self-explanatory. Things like no god modding and such are in the spoiler.

Timescale:
In this RP the focus is on the actual conflict. Everything from Espionage, to firefights, to terrorism and intervention will be progressed as seen fit. Date your posts, OP/Co-OP reserve the right to change the date/time of your post.

Historical Accuracy:
Since this is a modern RP, you will be using the RL history/statistics

Waging War:
Any conflict that is started must be waged reasonably and realistically. Also be aware of the terrian you are invading as that is a determining factor in battles. Troop mobilization on a nationwide scale takes time as well, at the very least two weeks for the most advanced nations just in the home region. Most of your conflicts will be with neighbours, and those of opposing ideology.

Technology:
For the purposes of this RP, certain nations will have larger numbers and worse tech at their disposal [for example, Iraqi Government] and others the opposite, small numbers and advanced tech [ie Israel]. Global powers like the US will be able to dispatch troops, but remember that you can't send very many and it will hurt both your morale and your political standing, especially if your nation just withdrew.

Know How to Lose:
If you lose, say good game and go on. Feel free to reapply for something else. Don't be a dick about this, do not try and force victory in the face of defeat. RP Realistically, I have far more respect for those who don't powergame their way through the RP.

Meta-Gaming:
What is meta-gaming? If something is talked about in OOC, for example a invasion plan for Afghanistan. I don't want someone going in there and placing troops in the way of the plan just from what they read in OOC. DO NOT METAGAME.

Bio/Chem/Nuclear Warfare:
Absolutely prohibited unless explicitly allowed by the OP beforehand. Chemical and Biological warfare must be OP Approved beforehand.

UN
The United Nations will have a marginalized role in this RP solely because we wont have a full elect of nations to vote on issues. If all P5 members are taken, then the UNSC will be set up, otherwise its assumed opponents (Russia-West) will veto like RL.

Needing OP help:
If so, use these tags in your posts:
- 429 - Application or App assistance
- 465 - Reservation*
- 411 - Questions or concerns
- 911 - Emergency that needs OP resolution
- 365 - Reporting rule violations (godmodding, metagaming, etc.)

Post Quality:
Please do not post one liners! two liners! or three liners! These posts can be so much better and it degrades the quality of the RP and your reputation when you make such small posts. Please step it up. As well, please don't gigantic (900 pixel) flags as well. Keep them to a modest size.

Basic Forum Etiquette:
Simple forum etiquette applies here as it does everywhere else. This means following the standard rules.

Rule Violations:
From here on out, all violations of the rules need-to-be/should-be reported using the following code. If someone god mods or meta games, report it. Don't just wag a finger, actually say what they did, where it was wrong, and what should be done. Should the person be kicked? Should we restart the RP? What needs to happen?

Code: Select all
[b][u]Who did it:[/u][/b]
[b][u]What did they do:[/u][/b] (Godmod, meta game, etc.)
[b][u]Links to the post:[/u][/b]
[b][u]Brief Description of why it is godmoding/metagaming/etc.:[/u][/b]
[b][u]What should be done:[/u][/b]
365 - do not remove tracking purposes

Iraqi Kurdistan has good relations with Turkey and Israel along with the West but has poor relations with Iran and Syrian Kurdistan. All Kurdistans have bad relations with Iran and Syria. Turkish Kurdistan is increasingly more pro-west, but still harbours a very Turko-skeptic position, with a strong pro-Armenian sentiment. Iranian Kurdistan is hardly recognized, but has a relationship with both Iraqi Kurdistan, Iraq and Azerbaijan. All Kurdistan is heavily opposes to the ISIS and Al-Quaeda

Goals for this Faction: Unite Kurdistan into one nation, gain international recognition, be able to govern as a sovereign state, push the ISIS out of Kurdistan.

RP Experience: N/A [OP]
RP's you are currently in: N/A [OP]
Link to best (or good) RP sample: N/A [OP]
How active will you be?: I hope to post atleast 3 times weekly.
Why'd you choose this faction? I've always had a fasciation with Kurdistan, it just seemed like the opportune moment.

I'm still wary of opening up the RP to Afghanistan.

Germany would be a good nation to have, my reservation is however that we would already have 3 NATO nations [France, UK, US]. Would you be willing to RP one of those? [France is reserved]

That's correct. If an election is coming up, or if you have the power to make one (E.g. Minority gov't, non-confindence vote) then you can.

Nation Info:
Nation Name: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Head of State: Queen Elizabeth II.
Head of Government: David Cameron.

Government Form: Constitutional Monarchy.
Ideology: Socially and economically conservative.
Foreign Policy: The United Kingdom is frequently cited as being 'The United States' lap-dog', blindly following it into various, un-winnable conflicts across the globe, including the Iraq and Afghan conflicts which are still raging on to this day. Initially, the United Kingdom had taken up the role of arms-dealer for the Free Syrian Army, but with the sudden explosion of Islamic extremism in the Syrian conflict, the United Kingdom has made the decision to temporarily cancel it's weapon shipments to the F.S.A. so that it may re-evaluate it's position in the middle east.



Military Size: Active: 205,850. Reserves: 181,720.
Military Goals: Ensure British assets in the middle-east are maintained and ensure stability in the middle east through the use of military strength or political influence. It is hoped that such stability can be achieved through diplomatic channels, entering negotiations with the various parties involved in the destabilization and hoping to come to some form of arrangement to conclude the struggle. The British Army also hopes to see a full with-drawl from it's middle eastern bases in Afghanistan and Oman (GCHQ has a base in Oman).
Primary Equipment: L85A1 IW (SA80) "bullpup", Sharpshooter Rifle L129A1, Next-generation Light Anti-tank Weapon (NLAW), FV 4034 Challenger 2 Battle Tank, FV 510 Warrior (IFV) & Apache AH1 (Attack Helicopter).


Goals for this Nation: See military goals. (As Great Britain is out-with the main combat zone, I can't really see my goals being anything but what I've stated for my military).

RP Experience:
RP's you are currently in: The End. & A meeting with the Massanis.
Link to best (or good) RP sample: The RP I've posted the most in.
How active will you be?: As active as possible.
Why'd you choose this nation? It's where I'm from, so I feel that I have a decent knowledge as to how it works. Plus, it was needed.

If you're China, you wont exactly have much to do other than UN, possible funding of groups, and possibly fighting pirates. Our Iraq player will be dealing with a lot more, because of the actual conflict, and I'd need a trusted player (Such as yourself) in their position. Iran would be either possible intervention, likely funding, and it's very probably that they'll be fighting Kurds. (Because no, I don't intend on letting Iranian Kurdistan go :P )

If you're China, you wont exactly have much to do other than UN, possible funding of groups, and possibly fighting pirates. Our Iraq player will be dealing with a lot more, because of the actual conflict, and I'd need a trusted player (Such as yourself) in their position. Iran would be either possible intervention, likely funding, and it's very probably that they'll be fighting Kurds. (Because no, I don't intend on letting Iranian Kurdistan go :P )


Let me see the state of Iraq's military at the moment. I'll decide after that.

Nation Info:
Faction Name: Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)
De Facto Leader: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

Administration: Mostly Abu's will. But high ranking officers can make decisions too.
Ideology: Jihad! Kill the infidels (pretty much)
Foreign Policy: Extreme anti-Americanist. If you are USA, Russia, Iraq, Syria, etc., we won't like your presence. If the USA keeps trying to "help" Iraqi forces (which obviously surrender to us willingly), then we will kill American executives in Iraq and ISIS controlled Syria.


Military Size: Honestly, I tried, I can't find a number. What do you think is realistic? The do control all of northern Iraq and norh-eastern Syria.
Military Goals: The unify Syria and Iraq under a single Islamic Caliphate!
Primary Equipment: Iraqi/American guns and ammo stolen from cities and abandoned military bases. Or given over in surrenders of Iraqi forces. America left a LOT of equipment in Iraq. And now a large percentage of it is ours!

Goals for this Faction: Military dominance over Middle East.

RP Experience:
RP's you are currently in: HoE II
Link to best (or good) RP sample:

How active will you be?: Likely an IC post every few days.
Why'd you choose this faction? Because I've been intrigued by ISIS and their goals since they began to take large swaths of Iraq.
