World War One idea

[Greater Americania]

Also, Why do I need to assassinate your delegate or leader? In the real WW I the Central Powers were the one who were attacked.

It really doesn't matter who assasinates who. I was saying let's follow the WWI example, not necessarily follow the story of it to the letter.

[Augmark]

How about an npc assassinates my leader and his family on a railroad car.

bombs are set on the tracks, train derails, family survives, npc take leader+family out of car and massacre them.

faulty intelligence states a central power did it, and I declare war

[Greater Americania]

OOC: The assassin doesn't even have to be a nation. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand was carried out by a secret society...if memory serves correctly, the Black Hand. We'll have a secret society do it and then we'll do to war. Where is your country located in real life, Augmark?

[Augmark]

In real life, I would say Scandinavia, more specifically Sweden

[Kagetora]

Volunteer to do a secret society, operating in all nations involved, and helping to secretly shape the war.

like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

[Kagetora]

Not really. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (as I know them) are basically a super amazing special forces group.

I'm thinking more like the Illuminati or Free Masons or Knights Templar or Priory of Sion or something like that.

[Augmark]

not the League itself, but that secret advanced group in the movie that sold technology and potions and shit to European nations to start world war one

[Kagetora]

You mean Professor Moriarty's corporation?

I like the idea of the Illuminati better

[City of Norfolk]

So the Illuminati instigate war between the two powers how?

[Augmark]

yeah that was his name!......can't believe I forgot

whose gonna be them?

[Kagetora]

So the Illuminati instigate war between the two powers how?

Not the Illuminati, a secret society I come up with. And it would be through assassinations.

@Augmark: IDK. Not me.

[Allrule]

I'll be them.

[Vandengaarde]

If I can join I'll be allied

[City of Norfolk]

Alright, we need to get the sides covered and confirmed, the storyline figured out, and start this thing, and should we close it when we start?

[Kagetora]

I'll be them.

Well the existance of both of our groups depends on whether Arivada would allow them.

Alright, we need to get the sides covered and confirmed, the storyline figured out, and start this thing, and should we close it when we start?

While Arivada has the final say, my proposed storyline is my pseudo-Illuminati group ignites a war simply for the sake of war.

I would recommend closing it off after we started though.

[City of Norfolk]

I agree with the secret society, but what would the reason behind it be? They need to get something in return, it would be too risky to spark a war for the hell of it.

I would suggest that their plan is to keep the war going as deadly and long as possible, then they would strike all the nation's governments at once to unite them all into a NWO, which would be made easier since they are all heavily mobilized nations, so taking more and intimidating more nations to join their cause would be easier.

Just a thought...

[Lizardiar]

The Black Hand was the real group that helped start WW I.

You could definently get away with this in Greater Americania given the masses of corruption that occured under the Republican government.

[Rasoana]

My country is right around Finland so I could join with the Central powers.

Some good ideas. Let's make it so that they aren't trying to start a war at all. For example, say Arivada's man is someone they politcally oppose for something his country his doing. They assassinate him and that has unexpected side effects of a massive war.

[Rasoana]

Let me get this cleared up so at wartime I don't seem like a "god-modder" or just a bad RPer in general... No Guerrilla warfare?

No, as WWI era warfare was trench warfare for the most part.

[Rasoana]

Okay...
No tanks
No Guerrilla warfare?

Correct me if I'm wrong.
