RP Think Tank

[Lincolnocracy]

Just placing out feelers for an International Incident that sparks from an assassination of my nations leaders new bride to other nations getting involved which may bring up grudges against other nations.

Backstory:

I have a King Glenton Gryphon-Bush II. He is polygamist and already has two wives. He plans to marry a 3rd. The third will come from another nation which has a monarchy so two royal households can ally.

The Kings second wife does not want another sister-wife. It means the possibility she can be demoted and the 3rd wife's offspring could be bumped up in the line of succession. She has her allies and supporters she is doing deals with. And they arrange to assassinate the 3rd wife on the wedding day.

Great premise. Personally, I think running a war roleplay, a diplomatic roleplay, and an espionage roleplay simultaneously would be a headache. Have you considered a sequential trilogy instead? E.g.: A diplomatic roleplay to determine the bride, culminating in a wedding. Followed by an espionage roleplay involving a plot to assassinate the new bride on her honeymoon. Followed by a war roleplay as the aftermath spins out of control.

Just my two cents.

Good day everybody! I am returning from a very long hiatus but am happy to see the Roleplaying community is still quite active. I am however because of this a bit trepidatious about starting a new RP, but I wish to have the Mind Empire make new diplomatic connections among the community. So I have a vague idea of how I might do that and want to see if anyone would be interested:

The Mind Empire is going to be looking to expand their territories for the newest 50 year cycle. This would involve the establishment of new colonies in frontier space but also an active outreach of merchants and diplomats to nearby interstellar powers. A possible RP might be either one of the Merchant Magnates making a run into a nearby nation's space to sell his wares (the Mind Empire has an expansive economy but has a penchant for Weapons, Experimental Technology, or Media trade). Or it could be a general diplomatic exchange between the Mind Empire's colonial authority and a nearby alien nation.

Not sure what people would be up for and I do have a somewhat hectic schedule though I could post at least once daily, also if anyone has any neat ideas or is interested feel free to let me know here or via telegram!

This is for FT roleplayers mainly

There's an FT thread called "The Tunnels of Mars" which looks quite promising.

Hey all!

A new region, Stille Nacht, which myself and a few other close RPers have formed is about to have our first RP. We have posted a OOC thread: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=402503

We have kept this OOC thread open because we would love for others to join and RP in this RP with us with your MT nations. The overarching concept of what our RP is a economic struggle between two nations (Atla and New Phallia) which are each economically dependant on each other however tensions are brewing and conflict is imminent.

I'd love to hear any feedback on the concept of the RP or its overall presentation as well to attract more RPers. Thanks!!

Adding on to this, we have a OOC thread now for our RP group/region open: Stille Nacht OOC thread.

Looking for players to help us world build and create some awesome RPs. Much like rhe one we just started, Crowns Burden.

[Vignari Vox]

Hi all!

For Vignari Vox, a 'Royal Federation' of minor and major states within the Vignar peninsula/area, I'm looking for nations that want to brainstorm and work with me. My biggest concern for now is the historical 'exodus' of nobles. The plan I have now is that there was an unspoken rule among Vignari rulers to send their younger brothers (and in some cases sisters) away to find their fortune (while also securing their hold on the realm). While minor rulers, counts and barons, would either keep their siblings to fight for them or be happy for them to find their fortune within Vignar, larger and wealthier rulers would send their siblings away with boats, supplies and more to give them a fair chance and retain their reputation as a fair ruler. After all, who would send their siblings to a watery grave but a wicked despot?

Any way, as such, I'm looking for nations that don't mind being the place(s) where Vignari nobles landed. Maybe carve out their own little realms or fought as mercs in your wars. Not everyone would be succesful, of course, as some siblings would have been raving mad, Vignari heretics, extremely inept or more. Maybe your nobles would fall in love with one of the 'invaders' or perhaps they decided to copy the Vignar trick and sent their own siblings to Vignar or other places.

If you're interested in working with me, just send a telegram. I don't have any info up about Vignari Vox but will be more than happy to answer any questions as most of it is worked out, especially the basics. Thanks already!

[New Aeyariss]

I have been thinking about an RP trying to track some major Watergate / Iran-contras style scandal in the government in one of the states. Just tossing this idea out for everyone .

[Bezlan-Fahvgorad]

Hi, i would like some more people to join my thread here viewtopic.php?f=5&t=404244

Some Background

So there was massive civil war "this is elaborated upon in the threads introduction" between Monarchists, Republicans, and Communists. The Republicans win, and establish a Militant republic. The thread starts off with people making trade deals and sending humanitarian aid to Bezlan-Fahvgorad.

Soon the Communist's return, they acquire an atomic bomb, blowing up the capital Haffenburg in order to cripple the new Government, and hiring mercenaries to fight for them in the new civil war. The country is in Chaos, with rouge mercenaries and bandits running around shooting everything in sight. While the Communist's and Republican's go for round two.

The now

I would like more people to join the thread, especially nations that support the Communist's, and 3rd parties who simply want to profit off the war. "as i already have many allies" of-course you can still be an ally if you want

[Anagonia]

I'm presently in the beginning stages of planning and writing of a clean slate for my nation. While Anagonia is being presented in a separate "Alternate Earth" timeline, there will be opportunities for interested parties to role play specific nations within that timeline. Interested parties may find limited information here that briefly outlines the timeline changes. It is still a work in progress, however I am free to elaborate on the history of the world therein.

Please direct all inquires via telegram to Anagonia. It is not necessary for any particular portion of my timeline to be headed by any individual, however those wishing to partake must be committed and patient with any schedules formulated.

So, being that this nation is very corrupt internally, it might be interesting to deal with someone else's corruption or scandal - either just watching/commenting or having someone paid to attempt to hide it / cover it up.

So are you thinking Legislature says "Don't do this." Executive says "Ok" before turning to underling and saying "Do it" then underling gets caught, Executive says "I know nothing" and tosses the underling under the bus?

[Hadri Nekoi]

So just how popular are RP's in a 1914-1945 setting anyhow? I know that I've seen two or three active, although they're either longer-running threads or exclusive to one group or another.

Not ATM, but FYI the thread will be about small scale engagements, hybrid warfare and rioting. No large scale warfare is going to take place, that said.

right on, no I understand my region mates and I recently had an open role-play we were doing and it seems like everyone who wanted to join thought it was going to be some sort of full-scale invasion when in reality we wanted it to be a limited conflict. it's really 0 to 100 on international incidents for some reason

I actually wrote a guide on foreign policy a while ago. Anyone who does that will be booted from the thread.

To be honest, I prefer large scale warfare but small scale can work too.

It's quite a popular setting, though most of the time WW2 setting is more in here. Since it is the one most people (that I know of) are more familiar with.

[Chinevion]

Rp Idea: A Nuclear war occurs in a cold war era. the massive wide spread nuclear exchange destroys all of civilization. However out a sea a small handful of warships survive, however with limited supplies and fuel and no long range communication, the captains must make a decision: Continue their last orders and remain loyal to the memories of their countries or save themselves.

Back story:
December 4th 2005
The cold war was what people had called it. Sure did not seem that way now. Tensions between “capitalist pigs” such as the Greater Indochinese Federation and between the “commies/reds” were tighter wound then the trip wire on a claymore mine. All it would take is a slight amount of pressure or one mistake and the world would go up in flames. This tension had some benefits, space program received massive funding on both sides of the arms race. Each nation trying to one up the other. (Insert the communist nation here) put the first man in orbit. The next year GIFAA put a man in orbit and launched the first moon probe. Then the moon race began. This long term rapid development militarily and scientifically greatly altered the course of history. Any crazy futuristic weapon concept conceivable was started to be developed. A guy has a idea for a rifle that fires scram jet assisted round? Fund the program. By 1980 the internet was widespread yet tightly controlled by governments to prevent “seditious” ideas. The first railguns were developed by 1990 and the world's first quantum computer was built in 2000. Nuclear weapons however outweighed all of these. The dark imposing cloud of nuclear war was constantly on everyone's minds. Weighing down on men women and children all around the world. Nuclear weapons don't discriminate, they don't spare. The Fireballs and radiation don't care whether your friend or foe. At any moment a single mistake could cause all civilization to end. To try to negate or at least decrease the tension in civilians the Greater Indochinese Federation launched project orion. Satellites with anti missile missiles and anti satellite weaponry were hurriedly designed and put into orbit by the GIFAA. Among these satellites was one new type of weapon. Code named Prevailing Winds. The satellite was the world's first orbital rod system. Officially she was named COMSAT-132. The (Insert communist nation name) Quickly followed suit. Then the incident happened. The IWEWS (Indochinese World Early Warning System) had a glitch and registered multiple nuclear launches. At the same time a cruel twist of fate in the hastily built satellites caused them to lose connection as a (insert red nation) launched a dummy missile to test the new ground based anti missile system. Immediately GIF went to defcon one and a retaliatory strike was launched. In silo fields all over GIF. Operators checked the authorization codes and solemnly inserted the double sets of keys and launched solemnly followed their orders. If only the GIF high command had not been so hasty the disaster could have been averted. There were no missile launches from the reds. It was realized all too late that the IWEWS had made a mistake.
The order was given to destroy the missiles in flight. But yet again cruel old murphy showed his face, the satellite network responsible for communicating with the missiles was still down. In the(Insert communist nation here), the GENC (Global Early warning network command) detected the launches. What had just taken place in GIF minutes before took place in the CB (Communist block). Silos opened and fired their their weapons as the network of orbital weapons quickly set to work. Remaining Chinovian satellite systems engaged Soviet satellites. SSBNS from all nations fired their loads as the rest of the world sparked off. Bases in Antarctica were targeted melting the ice caps. In a matter of minutes civilization as we know it ceased to exist. If the astronauts in the orbiting space stations were still alive, they would have seen the world alight with hundreds of balls of fire. In a second the majority of the world was reduced to rubble as hundreds of mirv type weapons destroyed centers of population, industrial complexes and military bases. Nearby suburbs were obliterated by massive pressure waves and those not instantly killed were doomed to a death by radiation. Once again the arms race showed its face, nuclear weapons. Nukes were developed that were much more efficient up to the point that nearly 23 percent of the radioactive materials reacted causing much larger bombs. Massive amount of soot ash and pollution were flung into the atmosphere causing what was known as a nuclear winter. Within hours all fell quite as the last of the stockpiles were detonated. Out at sea however a few solitary warships remain spared from the emp waves and from the detonations. You as a captain are faced with a decision, remain loyal to your long lost country and follow your orders or save yourself and crew.
Rules:
No Gmoding: o long range coms as all sats have been taken out. No large fleets. Maximum of 5 ships and two supply ships.
More to come.

Requested help: I think the cause of the war is stupid, cam some one help with that.

[Crysuko]

I'd like to pitch a hacking based RP, with my nation being the target of it. In short, Crysuko has draconian information control and surveillance networks, but the weakness is that it's all controlled from one location. It's up to the protagonists to work their way up to breaking through the great firewall so that information can flow freely once more.

True. I'm looking for a WWI or WWII war (I prefer WWI, but whatever) or just an RP with that time period's tech, since this nation and my others are all based in that time period.

I oughtta revise and remake my Romanian one...
