A Path Of Unbroken Chains (OOC/Sign-Up)

[Allanea]

What happened to the Ralkovia account?

[Animarnia]

DWI's 'population' are entirely working staff of the Corporation. This includes a huge amount of mercenaries, who are also universally former Marines, special forces, etc. basically very good at what they do. There is not one person whom would not be considered a valid target by most definitions.

DWI is also intensely wealthy. It can and will try to buy the loyalty of high-ranking politicians, generals, and admirals, hire out assassins to try and take down those it can't buy, enrich your enemies and give terrorists WMDs with the intent of screwing with you.

It is very decentralized in terms of information. The absolute vast majority of employees don't even know they are part of one huge corporation, rather they believe they are part of smaller corporations. Financial transactions are either handled through sixth-party or in the case of huge transactions cash directly at the HQ.

The HQ is hidden from all nations at the start. The island it is on only shows up on a few maps from the 19th century. It never was known for being high in resources and had only a small native population that had to deal with terrible nautical storms. It has been taken over by the corporation for some time and hidden under layers of security. Less than five-hundred out of the 560 million know about it. The island itself is home to around 2.8 million workers on the island, underneath it, on a few sea-bases around it and in underwater sea bases. It is well-defended though a dedicated naval and air attack will smash those defenses in quick order anyway.

The heads of the corporation only ever rarely meet and many of them maintain very public faces as the heads of charities and other corporations. Very well-hidden and integrated into a lot of societies. The end-game may be after a long series of naval engagements and special ops missions, y'all find out that the Board of Directors are meeting for the first time in two years on one specific-date. Y'all could just bomb them, but from what you hear, their meeting location is heavily armored and even an intense bombardment may fail. You need to drop special forces and paratroopers en masse to get them!

Most other combat could be boarding missions, trying to save merchant shipping from DWI, DWi showing up at some coastal town and trying to take your citizens as slaves, terror bombings, betrayals!!!, assassination attempts, etc. all leading up to an awesome climax. If needed, I am fine with the HQ getting killed as well as the entire Board of Directors.

Doing it this way would ensure that even as a 320 v 1 it doesn't become a boring cubstomp.

I have to ask how does the HQ work then if it is completely cut off? isn't the very point of an HQ to Co-Ordinate and centralise, if its entirely cut off from the outside world (I assume to prevent SIGINT or ELINT) its not able to function so what is the point of having it at all?

One imagines there are ways to send out secret messages (think Bond Villain lair).

@Ralkovia: I'm using nation tags to link to your NS pages; "Ralkovia" no longer exists, though I'll add a note about it so you can be Ralkovia for the IC.

Aw. I'm sorry.

Do you still claim the full Ralkovia population for the purposes of RP? I'm ready to accept that if you do, of course.

Or secret envoys sworn to a terrible oath of silence.

Or perhaps trained dolphins.

I do.

Yeah it sucks, but at least I didn't lose my lore or anything so.

Pfft, too slow, Ralkovia uses carrier pigeons for everything now. We used to use emails, but then carrier pigeons started making a come back.

So long as we know in advance, I have no issue with you claming the Pop of Ralkovia given the specific situation. since the page no longer exists can you give some details on the Ralkovia Population? So it is recorded here and you won't be Accused later of a Rule 1 violation

[Ralkovian Grand Island]

To be perfectly frank with you, I actually don't remember my pop at all. If I had to guess though I think I'm somewhere between 15 billion and 16 billion. I was at 14.5 billion when I was deleted, and that was in november or so.

I'll Take 15 Billion then since it is the closest to your pop at Time of DEAT, and is a nice round figure to make your math simpler for ORBAT Purposes later.

So any idea what you anti-slavers want to do?

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

I'll get an app up tomorrow morning, because I'm going to sleep.

BTW, I also use my pre-deletion population (plus this one.)

Well, I'd want to just milk you slavers for new settlers for my sanctuary, but also for other projects as well.

For Animarnia it shall be a war of Liberation. A Moral Crusade against Slavery.

[Yohannes]

With financial operation and commerce in over 500 nations and multiple regions, Yohannes can't afford to enter war - nor can it be bothered enough IC-wise to enter one - with any random nations. Therefore, we will simply be supporting our Lamonian brothers and Ganosian sisters, providing financial and logistical support as well as merchant fleet vessels for the former, while providing free oceanic transportation for the latter.

Other than that, I am not a competitive roleplayer (and never am interested in doing that kind of thing), so I promise slavers that I will cooperate to write stories together with you guys (instead of doing the usual competition stuff)

Edit: typo haha Edit2: darn typo again :< Edit3: I am cool personally with Diol/Vakollici Haven using his 'combined' population, as tbh at the moment its actually quite one-sided, and total population is not everything anyway

[Arcanium of Mars]

It shall be liberation and freeing the slaves for us. The Mares of Battle (zealous female knights) who will be the ones involved and leading the charge for Arcanium, for liberating is one of their sole duties.

Yaha, Which is why I allowed it more Pop just means more meat for the grinder.

Do you want a curbstomp or a fun story to tell? You're gonna get to my HQ and tear it to pieces ad probably kill all my leadership anyway. More fun if we have a good leadup where y'all are trying to find it while attacking my operations and I am being a scumbag and trying to have your leaders killed and then at the end my capita is burning and my board is being made to regret their life decisions by the Tigers of Freedom.

As for how this war can work- several anti-slavers v one slaver due to the imbalance of forces. Separate threads for each conflict under the umbrella of the same war?
