Oh dear a thing happened.

Why does Ralkovia sound so familiar... I've heard that name before I'm sure? Somewhere in the II community, or was it NSMRT?

I recall he's a Slaver Nation.

North Arkana didn't like him, I think.

[Hurtful Thoughts]

I meant the HVTs. OFC 3 snipers aren't going to kill 105 men alone. But then again, TFA is also a thing.

Okay. Jusssssst making sure.

If they were Hurti operatives, they'd need a new island and a crate of brown slacks.

Holy shiiit.

Ralky is back!

*bounds over and glomps*

We missed you.

[Kassaran]

Oh god, I do remember him.

[Empire of Donner land]

Oh god, I do remember him.

Fun memories.

Official Statement:

There will never be a Discord for PW. It has been my experience that Discord heavily impedes RP progress as people move OOC conversation to Discord for speed purposes, but it is then momentum is quickly lost as OOC changes into shitposting.

Here, you can't shitpost because Nationstates has rules. Which means you have to keep conversation to a tangent of the topic, which means momentum stays roughly in the positive direction.

Discord is the death of RP groups if it isn't done right, and I do not have the confidence to do it right.

One of the Big Bads ICly in GD. One of the few slavers who isn't just "lol we enslave cus thats evil".

Meanwhile, I tended to roleplay the pixie-bruiser on that sliding-scale of speed/firepower/armor

Biography of Outfit: The Esgonian Ground Forces/Navy's 'Tip of the Spear' Created in 1962 as a counter to other threats from nations who are against Esgonia, The MARI was tasked in operations deemed 'too high-risk for regular grunts', usually in high-risk covert operations. It was under the command of the Esgonian Intelligence Service (formerly named the Office of Strategic Intelligence) until the formation of their own Special Ops group. As of now, the STF is now under direct control of Esgonian Special Operations Command, closely working with other special forces outfits and the EIS itself. Entry through the MARI unit is currently invite-only, with an additional 8-week training awaiting the new recruits during their acceptance into the unit.

Currently, the hand-picked warriors of the STF have earned numerous awards since their inception, notably for their actions in Canaam, Rhodesia, and during the Second Esgonian Civil Crisis, where the STF's Marksman had achieved the most kills during the course of the war, and has recently been deployed in Azenyanistan, Iodinae, and other locations around the globe in COIN operations. The unit's total numbers remain classified, but are rumored to be between 200 to 370 members.

Operators of the Outfit:

Tengu Unit

Cpt. Gerard Hessler -"Tengu-1" - 28 - A+ - Squad Leader
-Graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education at the age of 18, he was a University teacher for 4 years before deciding to fully join the Armed Forces, his knowledge in dealing with students developed his team-leading skills. He is known to be protective of his subordinates as he cares for his students, which he considers as his 'second family'. Because of this, his fatherly personality had saved the lives of numerous soldiers and civilians during his days in the Army. He was then invited onto the STF program because of this, and rose through the ranks quickly within a year.

1st Lt. Yonatan Kilmura -"Tengu-2" - 31 - AB - Sniper
-An immigrant from Iodinae, he was known to be a quiet person, and an only child in a dysfunctional family, to which he rarely returns home and instead, lives with his uncle who was formerly an Iodinae Defense Force soldier. During the Civil War, however, his family, including his parents, and uncle, were killed when a Nationalist mortar team blew up their house during an annual visit, which caused him to pick up a sniper rifle from a nearby dead soldier and shot every last soldier there as an act of vengeance. With nowhere to go, he was taken by his surviving relatives, but he decided to voluntarily join the Army instead of waiting for him to be drafted. His exceptional marksmanship skills gave his unit a good reputation, to which he used it to his advantage to join the STF, where he was invited a year later.

SSgt. Mayumi Shiina -"Tengu-3" - 25 - O - Grenadier
-A Portean-Esgonian college drop-out with no direction in life other than doing something 'extreme' like drinking, she was drafted in the Army during her 19th birthday, much to her excitement. The rigorous training and exercises failed to tire her out, but her love for grenades started when she was nearly struck by the grenades. Feeling the shockwave, her adrenaline spiked up which made her throw grenades a lot during combat. With this, she worked her way through the ranks slowly and explosively until she was invited.

Sgt. Theodore Zwolf -"Tengu-4" - 25 - A+ - Rifleman
-Known as the 'Slasher' in his unit, not much is known about him other than having a dual personality, with a psychotic side to which he would kill his enemies in a more gruesome way with either his rifle or his knife, this personality well known during the Battle of Mecca, and a more friendly and outgoing side to him. He was invited to the STF in exchange for therapy on controlling his psychotic side, to which he agreed.

Sgt. Jaroslaw Hrsika - "Tengu-5" - 31 - O - Breacher
-A pyrotechnician prior to being drafted in the military, his love for high-explosives and making things go boom, even a small pop, gave him an impression of being a pyromaniac, and he openly showed it by successfully sneaking plastic explosives and IEDs he himself made at an enemy motor pool and headquarters during the raid and witnessing his explosive creation come to light as he blew the charges. This kind of attitude made him an avid prankster as well, and got him into trouble multiple times. He was then invited during his 5th tour of duty in Azenyanistan.

Sgt. Sago Gadeshina - "Tengu-6" - 26 - O - Medic
Graduating with a Doctorate, he worked as a doctor at a children's hospital in Azenyanistan during the Azen Civil War as part of a humanitarian effort to help recover the country, until it all changed when a bomb car made by the New Islamic State detonated in front of the hospital he was working with. He was then in charge of treating the 120 wounded children, along with assisting security after the NIS raided the building. Vowing to ensure that this does not happen to people, he decides to return to service, where he served as a combat medic and had saved numerous lives during his service, and is one of the first people to be recently invited to the STF.

Cpl. Shane Downeller - "Tengu-7" - 25 - AB - Rifleman
A son of a police officer, he was influenced by his father with a sense of justice and righteousness, seeing him as a mediator whenever fights occur, and a peace enforcer towards bullies when he was a child. On his 16th birthday, after seeing the chaos of war on television, he decided that he would join the Military to help 'fight for justice and to ensure peace, even in war'. His attitude as a peace enforcer made him famous in his first assigned unit, breaking up fights and using every option to take down war criminals and terrorists, this attitude of his raised the eyebrows of higher-ups, in which he was then invited recently.

Cpl. Hermann Silvat - "Tengu-8" - 27 - AB - Rifleman
A person who was diagnosed with chronic depression at the age of 18 after a tragic event that killed his entire parents, he volunteered into the Army, thinking of it as a way to 'die with at least a bit of worth in it', but decided to continue his service after he found a place in the Armed Forces. With nowhere else to go and no other reason to live other than fighting and serving his nation, he used whatever spirit he has to his service, even taking on an entire group of insurgents by himself. His dedication to fight made him a viable candidate for the STF program.

Pando Unit

Cpt. Jonas Dniepert - "Pando-1" - 30 - O+ - Squad Leader
-A person with exceptional intelligence, he managed to graduate from his University at the age of 17, where he took up Languages and Customs, he was soon travelling around the world as a translator for various business owners before deciding to join the army at age 21. Knows at least 8 languages and is willing to think outside the box more to achieve his goals anyway he can.

Lt. Rolan Abalos - "Pando-2" - 27 - O - Support
-A famous football player at his high school before a leg injury caused him to cease his career, after graduating, he was drafted into the Navy, being an armorer in one of the Nimitz-class Aircraft Carrier, as well as manning a fixed M240 in his position. He was then merited after he successfully destroyed 2 pirate boats by himself with his machine gun, as well as provided covering fire during the battle of Soraught as a Marine Boarding Team boarded and captured several Cruxan vessels. Was invited by the STF a year later.

MSgt. Hereford Bartlett III - "Pando-3" - 25 - A+ - Grenadier
-The son of the former Bartlett Royal Family, he was drafted and stayed in the army due to family tradition. A tactician from being taught by his father, he usually gives recommendations to the Captain and other commanders on a suggested course of action. He's usually a person who wishes to flush out the enemy from far away, hence his love for grenades.

SSgt. Catherine Pasternak - "Pando-4" - 24 - O- - Rifleman
A daughter of a boxer and a mountaineer, she was taught hand-to-hand combat by his father and the love for exploration by his mother, to which upon her draft, was quickly part of the Esgonian Army Rangers at a young age, specializing in mountainous combat and counter-insurgency. She is known for her brutal way of settling things: with her fists, to which she was nicknamed "The iron-fisted bitch" by her squadmates. So far, she is the youngest person to ever be invited to the STF.

Sgt. Elizabeth Roweman - "Pando-5" - 26 - AB - Medic
A girl with a reserved nature and a daughter of a wealthy family, she was the sort of 'perfect daughter' that everyone wanted. After graduating with a degree in medicine, her parents wished for her to marry a wealthy son of a pharmaceutical company, but much to her parents' dismay, she wanted to join the Armed Forces after being influenced by an old friend, as she has seen the horrors of war and thought that she was needed in the battlefield more than in an office. Despite war being something that she was not fond of, she had grown to accept it after she had killed a few Cirillian soldiers during her first firefight in the Cirillian-Azen war. Her motherly attitude towards wounded people made her popular in the Army, with a ton of people wishing to sought her hand. Is known to be a bit crafty and is willing to beat people up when push comes to shove.

Sgt. Naoto Shimamura - "Pando-6" - 29 - AB - Rifleman
-A self-proclaimed "Hikikomori" from the Ports, he was drafted into the army with "remarkable" weapons handling skills, to which he credited playing video games as part of it. Later decided to stay in the Army to help sustain his hobby as an otaku and by the wishes of his mother, who wanted him to get a decent job than stare at the computer all day, nicknamed "That fucking weeb" by his unit. Was somehow selected into the STF for unknown reasons

Cpl. Movzar Nikanov -"Pando-7" - 31 - O - Breacher
-A former convict from a failed bank heist after his comrades shot him and left him for dead, decided to join the Armed Forces after he was released from prison to try and hunt down the former 'friends' that betrayed him. An expert in demolitions from his criminal past, he used it to break down doors and destroy positions, his love for explosives caught the attention of higher-ups, where he was recently invited to.

Cpl. Albert Risona -"Pando-8" - 26 - A+ - Rifleman
A person who exercises caution, he is known in his previous unit as a person with an outstanding 'sixth sense', being able to sense nearby threats such as enemies, mines, and the like just by sensing it, and his predictions have a 92% accuracy rate. Not much is known about his childhood that he released publicly other than he was a son of a fortune teller. His paranormal gift gave him a seat at the STF program, something that he happily accepted.

Oh dear a thing happened.

My thought exactly. Amazing how many things happen when I leave for a few hours.

First Rules For Reference of the new thread: "Any technology that is sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from a space heater."

For the new guys, "Rules for Reference" was a secondary set of rules in PW that were in-character and kind of running jokes about things.

The above is a reference to a conversation a friend and I have been having about how I'm destroying a laptop by running so many intensive programs on it that it's actually screaming, and my response is that it keeps my thighs warm.

Yes. I don't recall it going well.

As in, we never did it because people got upset.
