FT Interest Thread (OOC)

[Dinosians]

Well I'm pretty new to the FT world and all but as a MT veteran I'm still a decent RPer. Now I've been doing some brainstorming and drafting for an idea.

Basically what I am thinking is a RP of a series of events happening in the Senthani Sector(name created by me) that lead to a war between my nation (The Galactic Confederacy of Dinosia) and another nation. At the same time these events would lead to the organization of a new alliance of systems, this alliance would be called the Terran Alliance (name up for change) and would consist of nations siding with Dinosia. While my opponent (and any allies) could create or use a pre-existing alliance to combat this new alliance.

This won't be just another war RP, it will also involve Political discussions, Mining and trading excursions and meeting primitive life on other planets. However you can be safe in saying that there will be combat.

Terminology I would like used:
(P) - This would mark the post or section of the post as political
(E) - This would mark the post or section of the post as Economically related
(M) - This would mark the post or section of the post as Combat/War related
(PL) - This would mark the post or section of the post as related to Primitive Life

So who thinks they want/can help me flesh this idea out?

[FS_America]

Id be willing to to be an Antagonist Im in an RP group that i think would benefit from some External Action lol with others

[Dinosians]

Alright That will work, any ideas for how we end up in conflict, or would you like to RP us reaching that point?

[Aagartha]

I'd be willing to be an ally of Dinosia, though I'd like a diffrent name for the alliance (Terran sounds a bit too over-used).

Alliance name could be the; Senthani Congolmerate, Dinosian Pact, The Entente, or [input capital City's name] Accords.

A possible cause of the war could be an old, probe travelling at high velocity hit a civillian ship (destroying it) and was percieved as an act of war instead of as the accident it was. Not wanting to compromise or show weakness, neither side backed down on its accusations since the system that the ship was destroyed in was already the source of debate due to high valued minerals and a primitive species already residing there. Just a thought.

I like this idea. Alright and as I said the name was open for debate so Senthani Conglomerate or The Entente works for me. I don't really like alliances name after a nation or a nation's capital. Makes it sound like it is all about them.

So it would work out like this I guess:

a FS America(Or another hostile nation) probe, that has long been decommissioned, rams into a Dinosian Tour ship or Cruise Ship and destroys it. The only remaining wreckage would be a piece of metal holding the emblem of said nation. This then causes Dinosia to begin calling on allies and negotiating with the offending nation on reparations(Within the RP). When the offender refuses to pay reparations and instead want to be re-payed for the lost probe, negotiations collapse. Both sides begin consolidating forces and stand on the brink of war. One action (that will take place in the RP) leads to the war and it continues on from there.

Sound about right?

[Septill]

I could be another antagonist, as it would be quite plausible for my fleet to simply jump into a system and start mining operations without consent. Just my two cents but however you can find a way to fit me in just lemme know, my race can be a little... odd.

The old satellite idea is very plausible, plus the way Empire Earth, is basically we are all Increadabily proud Nations and do not back down seeing a battle as a field of honour and to back down would be a breach of ones honour Anywho you'll have to let me talk to OMG and the rest of the gang. We've been building up to burst our bubble and going out to the rest of the galaxy for some time now Well the major players have. Id gladly be the Cause of it all but like i said ill point OMG to this thread and see what he thinks hes like the rIng master

[OMGeverynameistaken]

I don't see why it wouldn't work. However, the best way to get all of EE involved would be to launch an attack on Sol. The generally political attitude right now is 'Aliens = bad' but I don't think all of Earth, or even a major part of it, would do much without first seeing a direct threat to their Sol holdings.

So, perhaps the first phase of this would consist of America getting his butt kicked out in space and an effort by the Terran Alliance to locate Earth, followed by an attack on the US' possessions there which will in turn rile everybody up, resulting in that fleet suffering the wrath of a multi-national alliance of super-awesome-coolness, at which point the actual warfare can begin.

Also, I don't know much about Dinosian politics, but something other than 'terran' might be good for the alliance name. People from EE's Sol are generally referred to as 'Terrans' so it might get confusing.

[Great Solar Japan]

Well, the whole of EE or at least a sizeable contingent of it would make a very dangerous opponent. We're talking billions of soldiers, hundreds of ships and a great deal of badassery (think cyber-samurai with glowing red eyes and powerswords). If the Federated States were attacked, I can easily see Japan jumping in, both to defend what is the closest thing to an ally they have right now and expand their own territory. Japan's navy is pretty small right now but it has a brilliant land army relying heavily on their samurai, so they'd probably rely on other Terran nations for transport but prove devestating on the ground.

Yeah, already changing the name now.

Also to describe my people, I would like to point out that against the name of the nation we are NOT dinosaurs or related to them. Just making that clear. Most of the Nation consists of genetically enhanced humans, that no longer consider themselves humans. As such they will probably have no problem attacking Sol, especially if you have the minerals we need and have already been seen as hostile.

Well I hope they can stand up to Dinosian SEED Marines. Also I know what I will be facing, and that is why I'm trying to get allies.

Glad to see this will work out. Once I can get a few more allies in this we can get started, also if you guys don't mind I would like a sample of your RPing, I don't want a whole bunch of one liners (not saying you will, just doing it as a precaution).

[Solar Denmark]

Sorry if I do not add anything helpful to your side but I would like to join up with the rest of the EE group if that would be all right as for RP history, would this suffice?

[Dinosians]

Looks like I'm going to have to add some effort to match you guys. But it is all cool.

Now can you guys think of anyone who isn't here that wouldn't mind joining up with me?

So far It is like 2v4... Which if it ends up like that I'm cool.

[Tarsas]

I'll be on Dino's side.

http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=68055&start=25 - RP example, I don't consider myself a great writer but I think I'm pretty average enough to do alright.

Alliance Name - Senthani Congolmerate

The question I have is how much of an area is this conflict going to encompass? Is it going to be narrowed to the system(s) that are involved or is everyone's homeworld up for grabs and what not?

Aagartha is comrpised of Humans, but they were forced to leave Sol millenia ago and as such don't feel any loyalty or sympathy to said system. Their mostly interested in the resources and their own security from major empires.

No wonder we are allies. Our views are similar.

Well I was thinking that it would span several systems, but not any homeworlds, unless someone wishes, in which case it can be arranged.

Now This is also Dinosia's Predominant Sector, so just to let you guys know unless we are approaching the edge of the system my ships can get to the areas pretty fast. Also I'll be generating a map tomorrow, it won't be anything fancy but it won't be a MSPaint map either.

I'd prefer if we just kept it here, I'm not all hip with the idea of seeing this turn into a major war, just a small regional war will do.

Also, more or less my own ego, I'd prefer (as an individual) not to fire the first shots, it ok I leave that to you and simply get called in due to EE launching a counter attack?

Yeah that works and I meant a few Systems belonging to the Rpers, in one Thread. Not like the May Day War that is now like 22+ threads.

The Map will just map out the sector. I'll leave it up to the Rpers to describe the Planets and other such things.

[FS_America]

Well the whole satellite thing can work. Before the whole historical Back check to a Napoleonic Era of fighting (with tank destroying muskets lol ) America had a large Space program, constantly sending out satellites before it was Attacked, and most of its eastern seaboard reduced to rubble. so lost and Malfunctioning Satellites would be spread all across the Sectors, so that can be quite easily, done. American ships will be patrolling Systems around the Sol system. the American fleet consists of around 1000 ships of varying sizes mostly cruiser sized vessels. (dont worry i wouldn't dream of throwing a fleet of 1000 ships around lol) But yeh i can see this happening.

[Dinosians]

Alright then, I guess we start Monday then.

[FS_America]

This was meant to have started yesterday >.>..... I was looking forward to this! it is my first foray into the unknown outside of E:E

[Dinosians]

Sorry I had school work yesterday, I'm working on the opener now.

Okay cool

[Empire Netherlands]

Woo. Conflict with people outside the E:E planet. So ya as you might guess by my name I am the E:E Netherlands player. I hope I can join as well. Also if your looking for my RPing here is an example http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=63853 I am Ekilion.
