Vapor: A Steampunk RP Region (OOC v. 2.0 -- CLOSED)

[Vitzenburg]

Would using this in 1910 be godmodding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Gun

Lawl I was already planning on using that, though I had an entirely different idea for what it's used for.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

I was going to mount it on rails and send it across the rails Coastal Defense

[Gratia Infinita]

@ Fanaglia: You do realize that my ambassador and his guards being the only witnesses to the President's suicide totally sets them up as assassins, right?

Gratia Infinita will push for Voerderlandish sovereignty, even if it ends up with them controlling a (substantially reduced) puppet state. I'm trying to think of what should happen now...any ideas?

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Um, the Nerracca is heading to Beaufort. It is delivering a letter to the president. It could shot at by someone, dragging in Inesea.

[Inoroth]

@Inesea - Idk about the WA stuff, but I must ask you... why would you use something so inaccurate as a costal defense weapon (unless you reduced the range and increased the mass of the projectile... resulting in the squat 'bombards' and 'mortars' that already exist)?

@Fan - Why not incorporate a Rail Council Mandate into the Voredenland RP? That way, even though Inoroth perhaps does not care what happens (b/c almost all of her goods go the Promethian route anyway), she feels bound to uphold the Council her diplomats labored so hard to create. That would give me a valid reason to intervene then, right?

@Gratia - You want the people of Voredenland to be sovereign? Hmmm... I hope my actions in the matter do not injure our relations, then, because from my vantage point, Voredenland (the people or the monarch... it is irrelevant to us) has agreed to the terms we are hashing out in the RR RP... which may lead us inevitably towards intervention for the good of the RR.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Read the strike. Think about it. There is going to be a Trans-Amplector RR. There is going to be a Pan-Promethia RR. RR based Artillery will be helpful.

Well, we could negotiate.

[Servoth]

In technicality East Servoth is the name of my puppet I used so that I could be in Vapor and my home region at the same time; durring a vapor rp however, my nation would be refered to as Servoth not East Servoth.

That and I've been waiting along time to do this, but I've wanted to make a rp involving the invention of the airplane. Does 1899-1900 sound good to everyone? Since the world war would be during 1910, I think 10 years would be good enough for fixed-wing aircraft to develop for use in war.

I've actually already declared IC in a past RP that there have already been heavier-than-air experiments in Fanaglia, though they've all been on a success rate of, well, not well. The best we've done so far is pretty much the same as [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du_Temple_Monoplane]Félix du Temple's monoplane[/url], which was aluminum and powered by a small steam engine. The monoplane "staggered briefly into the air" in Brest, France, in 1874. Ours came circa 1881.

Not really a plane that worked out too well then. It didn't even fly of its' own power, it used a inclined rail. Then partially, I am talking about building a wright brothers airplane, using gasoline engines. Not a steam engine with wings.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Let us recap, shall we. Khamul is sending troops to voerdeland and preparing to blockade it. Inesea has sent a ship to investigate rumored border incursions and send a message to the president of voerdeland. Xecuiians have occupied parts already. Fanalglian companies are supporting rebels. Gratia supports the Establishment.

I need to get involved in this.

[Vitzenburg]

Seems most of the western nations are taking their time to get directly involved.

Mishmahig is planning to dispatch some peacekeepers to protect the MCs there. But who knows, that might change. Must rethink position. Post coming later---I have a Physics lab for two hours tonight, sorry.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Very Quiet today.....

[Inoroth]

@Inesea - Too quiet... Anyway, I read the strike through oration, and I agree it is a good plan.

@Vijay - I still need a reason to get involved! Maybe the RR Council can order that the RR must be protected at all costs or something. Then I will have a reason to go in.

@Dal - still formulating an official response to your invite... Post will be up soon.

@Gratia - how are we going to settle our differences on Vordenland?

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

@Inoroth, if you need a reason to get involved with Voerdeland, how about having the Nerracca witness the slaughter of a private aid convoy from your nation to Voerdeland and reporting it to you.

[Cyprum Xecuii]

Ah...vitz actually started to use "power armor" infantry as a weapon, oh this will be fun.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Yeah! Finally, a use for AP rounds! On a side note, is radio allowed?

[Vitzenburg]

I have only one thing to say about your.... Metal Bawkses

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

one shot from the Canon de 75 modèle 1897 using Shrapnel rounds=no more Armoured Infantry.

[Cyprum Xecuii]

Yeah! Finally, a use for AP rounds! On a side note, is radio allowed?

I'd allow it, but nothing with a huge ass range since modern radios made for mass production and availability weren't really invented yet. But of course, as to push us to be actually steampunk, i'd vote that we can use it.

Although in my military, smaller groups of infantry will use gongs, drums, and flutes to communicate as it won't compromise that much of the overall military location, and if you can turn it into a song from your country or something, it will be virtually impossible to decode.

I have only one thing to say about your.... Metal Bawkses

The tanks weren't harmed, and nor were they armed. Our current standard gun-tractors has a 50mm gun, anti infantry machine guns, and a crapload of banzai-ing infantry protecting them.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

I was gonna use it for Airship to Airship communique. And it would be in ancient Aristo.

[Vitzenburg]

Erm, don't go tooting your own horn there Inesea, especially when shrapnel is ment for soft targets.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Can't you recognise Arrogance? no, but, what is the streength of the armor. Also, the Canon de 75 modèle 1897 shoots 15 rpm and can do AP, HE or Shrapnel.

[Cyprum Xecuii]

Erm, don't go tooting your own horn there Inesea, especially when shrapnel is ment for soft targets.

Well if you want to pack regular guys with armor suits with at least 50mm of hard to move armor around the whole body (even with hydraulics) that's up to you, but we'll be prepared...

Of course destroying a tank isn't that hard either if you know what you're doing.

[Vitzenburg]

Armor is 40mm at it's thickest point on the front. They're the equivalent of a light tank, with the weapons being able to be switched out with either the gatling cannon in the picture or an auto cannon reminiscent of the pom-pom, eventually recoilless rifles. The main thing I'm going on is that they'll be more maneuverable than a tank, especially in an urban environment. And yeah, I know it wouldn't be efficient IRL, but this isn't IRL.

Edit: Forgot to put in the claw on the other arm, ment to tear down stuff and for melee.
