Project Warfighter: "Tier-One" RP Group, OPEN

[Exantos]

Guys I just love Warfighter so much( ) In reality I believe that Atlas has helped me become a much better Roleplayer than I was beforehand.

[Die Erworbenen Namen]

Suddenly, Locked lands troops are fighting Exantos Spec Ops!

[Farlandria]

The operatives were wearing captured Crown Guardsmen uniforms, to blend in, like everyone else involved with Operation: Caesar.

This is not going to fly for me. Article 39 paragraph 2 of the 1977 Protocol I Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 clearly prohibits wearing the uniforms of an enemy while engaged in combat. If your command mandates that we do so, then my command will order my team to not participate in this operation.

Quoting here so it gets in the right thread. I think I agree with it as well.

[Die Erworbenen Namen]

Nova, for the last damn time:

STOP CONTROLLING OUR TROOPS. No one is even CLOSE to you and you are teleporting them and literally controlling them.

Why not have your own men do this then? If you're just going to control everyone's men no matter what why do I have to post? It's just a waste of time.

[Astronea]

So forgive me if I misread, but I dont think Gold team's role was explained in Sylvia's post. Anyone?

[Hurtful Thoughts]

*Hurti re-purposes some 2,000 pound GP-bombs for hauling troops on a supersonic carpet-ride.

Hurti: Sending a fireteam into a battlefield in one hour or less.

[Hale Isles]

I should totally ask Warfighter for help in killing the Hale Isles command...

That would be AWESOME.

You know, I doubt my team would be very enthusiastic about that operation.

Oops, sorry. Thanks for that.

Personally, I am fine with the control he has taken thus far. I intentionally left my last post open ended so that he could bring me right to the staging area, and that's because I wanted to get the operation going. Would you honestly have prefered that we go through another cycle of him calling all of the operatives that aren't at his base to his base; then everyone posts arriving at his base; then he posts the briefing and asking us to get on the transport; then we all post getting on to the transport; then he posts asking us to jump out; then we jump out. To me the essential aspect of PW is NOT us all flying around to staging areas, and I'm glad that he made the choice to speed us into the action rather than lengthening the irrelevent setup even further.

[Hale Isles]

Yeah, I was a bit confused too. Personally, I assumed he was placing us in a position to act as support for unexpected circumstances, so my guys are probably going to go with a rather heavy loadout geared for sniping anti-armor and suppression, so that they can support another team if it unexpectedly encounters armor or significantly more enemies than expected.

Sounds bad, contradictions in OP's should make people question its consistency.

[Congreveopia]

Sounds bad, contradictions in OP's should make people question its consistency.

In the OP's what? In his posts? His flag? His choice of national animal?

Sorry, I dislike misused apostrophes. Anyways, I assume that you mean "This group sounds bad, because there are statements that contradict each other in the Original Post." Personally, I'd encourage you to look past that because I've had a lot of fun as part of this group throughout its existence, and hopefully a little miscommunication wouldn't dissuade you from joining us and having equal or greater amounts of fun. Although I do note that you are quite active in the "screw realisim" group, so I would warn you that we do have quite a commitment to realism here, and you'd need to accept that if you took part.

The essential part of Warfighter is the realism, and me being able to control my troops. If Nova wants to just post for me, I don't need to be here.

Yes, fine, but you don't need to control your troops when they aren't engaged in warfighter activities. Nobody expects us to roleplay our troops using the restroom; nobody expected me to talk about what books my soldiers were reading on the flight from the Hale Isles, and that's because that's not the part of the roleplays that is interesting. The actual operation is interesting, but everything before that is just discussing logistics and strategy, which is important, but doesn't need much time devoted to it here because Sylva is taking care of both (he's flying us in, and he has the plan already figured out). Basically, I fail to see what your group has lost by Sylva's jump to the actual operation.

[Die Erworbenen Namen]

Oh, I don't know...

Air support? Any realism? Any HQ to escape to, or a launch platform?

My group was on a carrier. So was URA's. Instead of asking us, he just makes them appear, and despite my pleas, ignores me and continues RPing. He even makes one of the URA guys ask him a question, which is silly, because no URA guy is THAT dumb. Moreover, he just assumes he knows everything. HE DEPLOYS US EVEN. He doesn't ask us for our input. He just takes us, and deploys us.

I'm NOT going to contribute ANY men to such a stubborn person. Especially when they probably have a half assed idea. He's removed ANY part of my cooperation, ANY freedom, and ANY originality. Hell, he doesn't even need me there.

[The United Remnants of America]

Well, seems I've missed a bit. Day of sleeping and partying is bad, I guess.

@DEN: Chill.

@Nova: I just want an explanation, just to assuage DEN, here. Godmodding is kind of against the rules, and while I can see Hale's argument in defense of you, I'd love to hear from you.

@Cong: I luv u.

@Hale: I don't think you applied, as I can't find you in the OP. Did you apply at one point and then cease being active? If so, I can sift through the threads to find you. If you haven't applied ever(Or you're a puppet that I can't remember the owner of), apply and then you can kind of get to gripe about things.

EDIT FOR HALE: And I guess those skittles shots did more to me than I thought. Just, uhh, ignore that piece to you, Cong-Hale.

[Free Tulsa]

Name of Nation: The Syndicalist Commune of Free Tulsa

Name of Tier One Unit: Revolutionary Exportation Directorate (R.E.D.)

Names of Tier One Operators (Optional): Working Group 17, callsign 'Jacobin'

Warfighter Loadout: http://pastebin.com/0bZa1Zhk

Biography of Unit: R.E.D. is unusual in that it has its roots in a terrorist organization. Prior to the Revolution, an armed syndicalist militant group known as 'Guillotine' carried out numerous attacks beginning in the late 1970s. Specializing in quiet and lightning-quick raids on government and military infrastructure, Guillotine struck fear into the heart of the Tulsan establishment. Their actions repeatedly provoked massive government retaliation against suspected radicals in Guillotine's area of operations - none of which ever successfully eliminated the group, though they did serve to further turn the population against the government of the Republic.

Guillotine is considered by some Free Tulsan historians to have started the Revolution. During the Homestead General Strike in June of 2000, a column of the Free Tulsan Army was dispatched to the city of Homestead to disperse striking workers by force. At a highway interchange just outside the city, the column was ambushed by a large and highly-skilled force armed with military-grade weapons, and almost completely wiped out. Guillotine immediately claimed responsibility, and declared its intention to respond with armed force to any agent of the Free Tulsan government attempting to interfere with the mass strikes that were sweeping the nation. While many argue that the Revolution would have happened even without this brazen show of force, the 'Homestead Ambush' remains permanently seared into Free Tulsa's collective memory.

Guillotine continued to carry out attacks during the Revolution, though they never approached the scale of the Homestead Ambush; records declassified by the group after they officially disbanded reveal that the Ambush nearly depleted Guillotine's entire stockpile of heavy weaponry, and they were forced to return to their old tactics of bombings, sniper attacks, and small-scale raids. Several loyalist generals were killed in confirmed or suspected Guillotine attacks, key points in the loyalist military infrastructure were disrupted, and, in one particularly famous incident, Guillotine infiltrators deactivated the entire air defense system at Port Brady Naval Air Station, leaving the base open to a devastating aerial attack. They were but one small component of a large civil war, but it is impossible to deny their impact.

After the end of the Revolution and the establishment of the Commune, Guillotine was officially disbanded. However, most of its personnel were integrated into the Syndicate of Initiative, the Commune's intelligence and special operations agency. Within a month of its formation, the Syndicate of Initiative had established the Revolutionary Exportation Directorate as its armed military wing, with a contingent of Guillotine veterans serving as R.E.D.'s initial core personnel. Though it has been some time since then, and many of the old guard have since retired, Guillotine's organizational personality has left a permanent mark on the Directorate. R.E.D. operators are given substantial autonomy and are answerable only to the Syndicate of Initiative and the Defense Committee; nearly half of the Free Tulsan population is unaware they even exist.

Agents of R.E.D. are organized into Working Groups which can vary in size from thirty to four hundred operatives. Recruitment into the organization is handled by a secretive 'Selection Committee' of R.E.D. veterans and officers, who keep an eye out for promising candidates in the Commune's military training facilities, universities, trade schools, and within the Free Tulsan military itself. Recruits are approached and given the option to attempt R.E.D.'s selection process, a highly rigorous program with a high washout rate. Recruits who pass selection are extensively trained in covert operations, unconventional tactics, marksmanship, and other relevant skills, and are assigned to a Working Group upon completion of training. There is no formal rank structure; once a Working Group is formed, its members elect officers from among themselves.

R.E.D. operates exclusively outside of the Commune's borders, and specializes in deniable operations in hostile territory. They have fomented or assisted leftist insurgencies in at least three countries since their inception, as well as participating in counter-terror and anti-smuggling operations.

Short Profiles on Operators (Optional): Group 17, operating under the radio callsign 'Jacobin' when deployed in the field, is the most prestigious of R.E.D.'s working groups. Currently numbering 210 personnel, operators selected for Group 17 have been shown to match a specific personality profile - emotionally stable, highly loyal to the Commune and syndicalist ideology, resourceful, unconventional, adaptive, and curious. Only recruits who score in the top 2% during training are eligible for membership in 17. Group 17 represents the very tip of the R.E.D. spear, the absolute best and brightest soldiers in the entire Commune. The Group generally deploys in teams of 5, with one to five of these teams deployed on an operation, supported by vehicles and personnel from the Syndicate of Initiative.

RP Experience (Example or Link): I haven't really RPed since the old forums were around (so, uh, at least six years), and all the posts are long-gone as a result, but here's a link to the most recent IC post of any kind I've done, to give you an idea of my writing style. viewtopic.php?p=23320083#p23320083

Yeah... Okay. Just, umm. Realize that we may not all be adults here. I personally will tell you to censor it if you post it and it gets really bad, but.. *sigh* Keep it at 50 Shades level or lower, please.

Upon reading through Caesar a few times, I'm going to let the slight godmodding Nova did slide. It was relevant enough so we didn't waste pages of IC on little crap like we were bound to do. Just so long as he backs off of that now that the operation is getting underway. DEN, your concerns are valid, all except that a Sentinel would indeed ask that question, or something along the lines of it, like Oreo or Jackie, the newbies.

Anywaysss, get posting, guys, I guess. I'm going to go pass out. See you tomorrow.

So this is what happens when you go Afk for 20+ hours. Man I've been so busy with school stuff I haven't found time to work on my post response to URA. Why must everything move so fast?

Dunno. It's too late for me to get a foot in with my main, so I'm just using my puppet Arala. And Sylva hasn't exactly made that easy for me, because Arala's spec ops uses land drones. Suppose I'll have to drop them using my own VTOL.
