Also, one more thing before we start. What tech level is Nova Capile at? I need to know whether I should use my modern-day tech, my Cold War surplus, or my WWII surplus.

Just want to let you guys know the time the OP set for posting the IC is 10:00 PM for me (Eastern Standard Time) so I won't have a post up until that afternoon (so 12-15 hours after post is made)

While I do not have an RP Sample, I hope a written diatribe on the Kingdoms intention for participating in this is sufficent :/

Chancellor von Dorff was only relatively recently appointed to her current position after her party, the Ultranationalists, managed to win a near absolute majority in the National Elections of 2018. While the Ultranationalists had certainly been a major power within Nibelungen's political system for the last decades, her appointment was nevertheless unusual. Quite young at 37 years, and additionally a women, her winning her parties bid was quite surprising to observers both in and outside Nibelungen. She needs to certainly proof her capabilities to her people though...

The Civil War in Nova Capile had raised a few questions open for Nibelungen too. With the Monarch rather on the Liberal Side, the Ruling Party being Archconservative and leaning towards Fascism, and the major opposition being socialist, each faction requests the Chancellor to do something. This has left her cornered, with essentially every move being interpreted as an absolute failure by someone. Eventually, she settled on the most neutral idea: A "Political Reconnaissance-in-Force", a naval battle force sent to survey the situation and, eventually, intervene, although it's currrently unknown on whose behalf...

Your nation was founded two hours ago. The only change that occured was a flag change, you didn't answer any issues. This is the first forum post that you've ever dispatched.

Is this an alt-account? Not meaning to judge here, but something is fishy.

I was fairly active on random II threads around 2016 and made a new account since my old nation and the threads I participated in where dumb.

Alright. I'm not the OP or anything, I just thought it was odd how you kind of immediately picked this (closed) RP within half an hour of you founding the nation.

I'm not here to question you, and I have no reason to distrust you, so I'm going to take your word for the fact that you played in 2016. I wasn't around back then, so I couldn't say whether you were / weren't.

I had been toying with the idea for this account for a while and had been keeping an eye on the forum for good threads to start on... so yeah I made the account essentially when I saw this thread. I can see how this is suspicious to some.

Working on the IC right now. Hopefully, it will be finished within an hour or two. And sorry for the confusion over AM/PM, I should have specified that and thought that I had.

I'd like to introduce a few of my characters now that I've posted in the IC thread for the first time. I won't be able to post more tomorrow because of work. Let me know what you think of both my IC post and my characters.

Also, please don't kill Lara Dietrich or Pari Qanbari. I'm planning on reusing them in other RPs once this is done. Grigoris Tassos is expendable, though I'd like to keep him alive during the early part of the RP.


General Lara Dietrich is a 70-year-old German-American immigrant who joined the Imperial military at the age of 19, due to the American Empire being the only allied nation at the time who allowed women to serve in combat positions. She fought in the Vietnam War and helped the American Empire topple the South* Vietnamese government, though she lost her left eye in a helicopter crash.

After the Vietnam War, she applied to serve as an officer, and in the Chilean War she was temporarily made Acting General after the previous General was killed* by poison. Lara Dietrich quickly took command of the Chilean Front and ordered an assault on Santiago, liberating the city from Pinochet despite heavy casualties. Empress Norton VI gave the order to make her position as general permanent, and she quickly gained a reputation for being the most aggressive general in the Imperial ranks.

She was later assigned to the initial invasion of Afghanistan, though she was recalled back to San Francisco after two years once the occupation phase of the war had set in. She eventually commanded the Imperial army in Syria during the war against ISIL, and became celebrated for leading the American Empire's ultimate victory against them at Dabiq.

General Dietrich personally favors the BSU, though the Emperor's orders prevent her from attacking the Royalists. She doesn't care about the minor factions, and is hoping that the BSU will conquer them. As the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, she controls all Imperial forces in Nova Capile, but not even she dares defy the Emperor... yet.


Lieutenant Pari Qanbari is a 26-year-old Iranian-American war hero, with over 230 confirmed kills***. She is probably the most famous military figure among Imperial civilians, first having become a celebrity for being the one to kill*** Osama bin Laden in the raid on his compound in Pakistan, and her fame only grew once she killed*** Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi with a sniper rifle during the Battle of Dabiq.

Qanbari is not one of the commanding officers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, but she serves as an inspiration to the troops and her word is extremely influential among the rank-and-file soldiers, as well as with public opinion back home. She is an extremely skilled soldier, and is most skilled with the sniper rifle.

Pari Qanbari is indifferent to the BSU, but she hates both the VF and the Royalists. She is a Muslim****, and is outraged by Nova Capile's ban on Islam. She is likely to take shots at Royalist soldiers if nobody is looking. She is a strong supporter of the three minor factions, and is using her influence to advocate for them.


Ambassador Grigoris Tassos is the Imperial Ambassador to Nova Capile, and handles communications to the leaders of the various factions. Tassos used to be the Governor of Maine, until Emperor Norton VII found him to be a nuisance, and sent him to where the Emperor thought he could not bother him.

Tassos is a staunch monarchist, and is secretly a political conservative*****, though he pretends to be a centrist whenever other Imperial officials look in his direction. He supports the Royalists and will always attempt to ensure that they get more aid than the BSU. Unsurprisingly, he and Lara Dietrich hate each other, and he is extremely annoyed that Emperor Norton VII placed him under General Dietrich's command.


* Yes, we sided with North Vietnam. Our foreign policy in the Cold War was... complicated.

**A few conspiracy theorists in the ranks suspect that she committed the murder, though she was declared innocent in a trial after the war.

*** Some conspiracy theorists claim her kills were faked to give the people an inspirational war hero.

**** Shi'a Islam, to be specific.

***** He's also a conspiracy theorist who believes the rumors about the other two, though he doesn't admit this either.

Besides the fact that I personally did not enjoy reading it for a couple of reasons, your IC post makes no sense because you somehow have an entire army already in Nova Capile and you also don't have an official message of support for your Nova Capile faction. And what is this 'Reiburg Tunnel'?

Reiburg
Nova Capile

---

Orders to General Lara Dietrich:

Nova Capile is currently engaged in a six-way civil war between the ruling monarchy, the fascist Fatherland Front, the far-left Socialist Union, and three minor secessionist rebellions. To prevent the spread of fascism to Nova Capile, I hereby authorize a military intervention to defeat the Fatherland Front. You are to cross the Reiburg Tunnel into Nova Capile with 100,000 soldiers, and wage war upon the Fatherland Front until not a single square centimeter of Capilean land is under fascist control.

You are prohibited from attacking any of the other factions unless you are attacked first, and even then the destruction of the VF is your only objective. You are also prohibited from assisting any faction unless that assistance is directly related to the destruction of the VF. I know you may sympathize with the BSU, but you are prohibited from helping them in their rebellion against the Royalists. We need both the Royalists and the BSU in order to defeat the VF, and they cannot help us if they kill each other.

Any military aid you give to a faction must be given only under the condition that it be used only against the VF. You are required to give aid to the Royalists and the BSU under these conditions, but I will leave the decision on whether or not to give aid to the minor factions to you.

Addendum: Due to the fact that Article XIV of the Capilean constitution would ban you and 56% of the expeditionary force from fighting, I hereby absolve you of any obligation to follow Capilean law. I will not let my army be ruined by unfathomable stupidity.

Signed, Emperor Norton VII, Emperor of the United States, Protector of Mexico

General Lara Dietrich put down the letter. "General, the BSU forces will be destroyed if we do not intervene", said Lieutenant Pari Qanbari, "We have to do something!" "Can't, Emperor's orders. You can read the damn letter for yourself. I know, I don't like it either. That being said, I need some distraction from watching the bloodshed. How about another round of wargaming simulations? You play the VF this time. I'll play the Royalists and ourselves. I'll get Ambassador Grigoris Tassos to play the BSU; I need to simulate what happens if the socialists are lead by a clueless moron."

The game began. Tassos took Quassdorf. Explosions wracked the outskirts of Reiburg. Dietrich moved her pieces to break the siege of Saxtonburg. Screams filled the air. Qanbari moved north to attack Pritzen. A tank ran over several socialist rebels. Dietrich moved her armies to liberate Muhlberg and Nordlingen. Several socialist rebels screamed out their surrender, only to be silenced by gunshots. Tassos retreated from Pritzen and attacked Reiburg, losing all but three of his pieces in the process. The remaining socialist forces ran for their lives to their base south of the city. Dietrich moved every last piece back towards Reiburg, but was a turn too late; Qanbari moved her troops to take Reiburg from Tassos, detonated the tunnel, and cut the American Empire's only link to reinforcements. The battlefield fell silent. Qanbari encircled and destroyed Dietrich's army, and gradually took the entirety of Nova Capile over the course of the evening.

"This doesn't bode well." "You always say that, Tassos", replied Qanbari. General Dietrich swept up the pieces and put them back in the box. "These simulations are important. It is critical that we keep Reiburg safe from the VF at all times. We learned that can't trust the Royalists or the BSU to defend Reiburg themselves. In a worst case scenario, the two of them will weaken each other to the point where the VF can just waltz in and cut us completely off from reinforcements. We need a sizable defensive force in Reiburg at all times."

They walked out of the tent. "Tassos, send a letter to the monarch of Nova Capile notifying him that I'm coming in to break the siege of Saxtonburg." said General Lara Dietrich. "Don't bother asking permission, I already have a hundred thousand troops in one of his major cities. And for Gods sake, get him to repeal Article XIV before he chokes to death on his own idiocy!" The General surveyed the wreckage of the battlefield, and spotted a lone man in VF colors walking along the southern road. "Do you see that man? I want an artillery strike on his position. NOW!"

The VF soldier in question was unaware of the identity of the forces camped out in Reiburg, his impending death by artillery strike, or the fact that he was about to become the first casualty inflicted by the Imperial Expeditionary Force. He would not be the last.

I love that you're fleshing out your characters here and asking for feedback. It seems like the three characters will have room for plenty of conflict with each other and with Capile.

Besides the fact that I personally did not enjoy reading it for a couple of reasons, your IC post makes no sense because you somehow have an entire army already in Nova Capile and you also don't have an official message of support for your Nova Capile faction. And what is this 'Reiburg Tunnel'?

Let's try for more constructive criticism, please.

The Reiburg Tunnel is something we informally agreed about a few days ago, though I actually forgot about it. I believe FAE had said that it's basically an underwater tunnel that goes from Nova Capile to an area were FAE is capable of deploying troops. Take that however you will. And the gimmick of it is that if the VF is able to conquer Reiburg and simply cover up/destroy the tunnel, then FAE will be cut off from Capile.

If this breaks your immersion Vanquaria, then I have a few suggestions for FAE.

(Also, I will make an exception for New Decius since, and I should have specified this earlier, our nations are historical allies and it has been established in past RPs that German military bases exist in Capile.)

FAE: I would suggest making some minor edits to your post. Look to Vanquaria and Castelia for excellent examples. I do not mind you beginning the deployment of troops in Capile at the end of your post, just make sure that you don't have your full forces all marshaled and ready to go by the next one. It should take a bit more development. Also, and this is a minor stylistic thing: I would appreciate it if you separated quotes by different characters with spaces.

For example, this:

"John do you like apples?" "No, I do not like apples."

Becomes:

"John, do you like apples?'

"No, I do not like apples."

It is just a little bit easier to read, and makes it easier to realize who is saying what, which can become confusing in a long dialogue.

One last thing: if the tunnel is still breaking someone's immersion, how would an airbase sound instead? Similar to the previous ideas, except now it makes a little more sense. Say that Reiburg's airfield is the only one large enough to support your aerial deployment, and if it is taken, you can still send troops and supplies, just in much smaller numbers.

Great posts so far, everyone! Haven't read them fully but it's looking good!
