Operation (Helpful) Paperclip - OOC Thread

Postby TurtleShroom » Tue Jan 05, 2010 7:04 pm

Okay. I was thinking about trying to write the craziest roleplay tale ever seen on NS. It's weird, it may be stupid, and it sure is " :palm: "-worthy, but it will be a lot of fun.




Here is the basic plot:

A corrupt, corporate-run nation (taking applications, the nation needs to be nuts) needs to expand its office space, or needs more land, power hungry (still working that out). It sets it sights on the Republic of TurtleShroom (my nation), because of her wretched military (excluding the flying battleships) and population of, literally, turtles and mushrooms. :geek: It's an easy target.

However, some benevolent nations happen to see said corporate-run nation's military advancing to the Republic, and intervene, saving the country. Feeling downtrodden, but not willing to give up, the corporate-run nation devises an off-the-wall idea.

Since they have sank their money into this failed raid, they need to improvise with what they already have. There is ONE thing they already have in abundance, and that is big business. The military drafts the businesses to conduct a plan to raid the nation of reptiles and fungi.

No one has an idea, until one crazy nerd/tycoon/whatever emrges from the shadows and proposes...

They want to raid with Clippy, the lovable-but-annoying paper clip who appears on their computers day in and day out.

Initially laughed at, the character explains that he and some other nutjobs have been obbessed with this character since 1997. The corporate-run nation has extremely advanced technology (like a space fleet or something), and the character used some of thsi to develop a living Clippy. He proposes to clone Clippy by the thousands, thus sparing any more troops AND creeping the living " :blink: " out of their enemies. The nations opposing the Clippy army are called the "Opposition", or something like that.


They plan works. The Clippy army storms the borders and fight a war with TurtleShroom and whoever else wishes to join. They capture the capital of TurtleShroom, Jonesboro (which, due to an Issue in the game, has a capitol that doubles as an amusement park). The Chancellors and government flee into exile while the Clippy army sets up some sort of dictorial puppet regime to the corporate nation.

I just need to figure out an ending. One of my worst issues in storytelling is that of all the stories I write, I normally finish about two. Everything else sits blank forever. I depend on collaboration in my stories.

    Here are my propositions for an ending and suggestions to carry the plot:
  • The Opposition crushes the opponent in an epic story.
  • The Opposition wins narrowly by a key and epic battle.
  • The Clippy army betrays the enemy and beeseches the Opposition to help them in a classic "creation rebels against creator" cliche.
  • The Opposition and the Clippy army and its creator settle it in diplomacy after a stalemate battle.
  • The Opposition realizes that the Clippies are not evil, just created to fight. They help them set up a nation of their own (I could run the nation).
  • The Clippy army wins, and the Opposition goes underground. Eventually, they rise up again and save the day.
  • The WA steps in and "liberates" the Clippies, but it only makes matters worse as the Clippy army holds them hostage.



Yes, it is stupid, but it would be fun!

Who would like to help and/or roleplay this?

I'm a nutty, corrupt, corporate-run nation (well, technically, the company is a sole proprietorship, not a corporation, but they're still insane). And I'd be glad to invade you for some office space. :)

As for an ending, I'm for the Clippy army getting its own nation, or for the lolz, the WA liberating them. But I have a suggestion- what's the name of that dog that helps out on some Microsoft systems? The Opposition could make an army of him.

Edit- Answering my own question, his name is Rocky.
