Festival of Carnage [Open/OOC/High-PMT/Attn-REC]

Festival of Carnage OOC

Click image to go to the IC

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the planning thread of what I anticipate will be the most gloriously destructive and chaotic free-for-all RP of the High-PMT NS community! So, what is the premise of this RP, as hosted by me, Vistora, curator of the Razor's Edge Cooperative? Well, to blow shit up, of course! No strings attached, and no warranty provided! Planning for this RP will be fairly minimal, as it's fully intended to be fun, casual, and not too serious.

This RP will be taking place within the Alt-Vistoraverse setting, but extracanonical nations are fully welcome to join in. The setting as a whole has little impact, as the staging region is likely to be deserted and few NPEs involved. Participants are encouraged not to hold back in terms of hardware, as most of the major players in this RP will most certainly be packing some seriously advanced heat. Flying super-battlecarriers are to be expected. Another thing that must be clarified is as to the structure of this RP; it is entirely flexible. If you want to be a 2000-strong regiment of armored foot soldiers playing from a strategic POV, go ahead. If you want to be a single named character rampaging across the battlefield, that's just as viable an option. Everything is negotiable here.

That being said, here are a few loose rules I request all participants adhere to and, if need be, will enforce if things get too out of hand.

Guidelines:

• Wheaton's Law still applies, here as much as anywhere else. Ignominious dicks will be swiftly castrated.
• Participants must submit an app to participate in the IC itself, but not to join OOC discussion.
• No one-liners, please. I do not at all expect massive paragraphical posts (although, if you want to write one, go ahead), and exceptions can absolutely be made if somebody's in a writing funk, but spamming ten pages of sentence-long dialogue is just lame. Don't be lame.
• Relating to the previous rule, outsiders are allowed, but selectively. I trust all my REC compatriots to conduct themselves excelletly, but any extraneous RPer I am unfamilar with will be watched closely.
• No powergaming or wanking in general. I do not expect this to be a problem at all given how lax restrictions on tech are pretty much the whole premise of this RP, but still, don't be like that. The fact that participants must meet approval will filter out the worst, but don't try and sneak bullshit past my radar.
• Godmodding is mostly off limits. The result of any major action should meet the consent of both parties involved, or else it's void.
• Have fun, and don't stress about this. Seriously, it's meant to be a cathartic exercise in crazy, unbridled destruction. Just lock-n'-load and let loose!

Roight then, first order of business; deciding where and why the battle is taking place.

I was thinking it takes place in the badlands of a large, rocky desert, perhaps the Atacama or one of North America's southwest deserts, with the conflict taking place over a very large, newly discovered surface deposit of phlebotinum crystals.

To clarify; numbers, especially for larger armies, are only important insofar as they give a sense of size for the force. Their accuracy is not critical, so long as a decent estimate can be given. Those who have already submitted an app are fine.

How high up the tech-chain are we talking here? Dark Action is bigger than an Abrams. Would she be carrying around shields, or what?

To the very upper limit of what can be reasonably construed as PMT. So long as you thinks she has enough hardware to defend herself, she should fit in nicely.

Both accepted! Although, Excidium, you may or may not want to come up with a reason to fight (or at least ally with a belligerent or two) over those crystals-of-do-anything.

[Hydraic Empire]

Tiggity-tag.

On the subject of wankiness - I will discuss nearly everything I do ICly in the OOC thread, so do not be alarmed. I am also involved in 1 or 2 large scale wars, so soldier numbers will be a bit lowered.

What's Wheaton's Law?

#FoCingREC'd

Dayum, that's some heavy equipment. Fortunately, Frenco's own inventory exists to counterbalance it. Accepted.

Also numbers. The equipment my troops possess are fifteen years in advance of the current stage of the Frencoverse (because I expected more apps like that for the Hadron Corps, who are sure as hell going to give my guys a hard time), so I've balanced my group's strength by sending less of them.

I also intend to present a nerfed Badanov in particular, because a pristine Badanov comes with a superheavy tachyon bolt driver and missiles capable of sniping targets from across the solar system (the ship is designed with killing Sidh vessels in mind, not Frenkish). The in-character explanation for the nerfed Badanov is that the Spiral missiles were all fired and the bolt-driver damaged in a previous battle before it could be repaired and rearmed.

But anyway, thank you and I look forward to the battle when it kicks off!

[Excidium Planetis]

I think I'm going to buff my infantry units... they need some exoskeletons and laser cutters, and probably some kind of reflective shielding.

And maybe I should add a glider or two for use after the shuttles land.

Also, I need to throw all this info into a factbook.

[New Frenco Empire]

Thinking about throwing in another task force, since I didn't realize Blak was throwing in the later part of the PMT canon (mine is still early 2150s). I don't want to go that far, so might as well just throw in more meat shields.

Aye. At this rate, I might need to beef up the Hadron Corps, ot at least make them a little less helpless in the face of aerial attacks.

Also, when it comes to location, I was thinking about setting it in one of the desert badlands of southwest North America. Plenty of terrain to maneuver around.

[Excidium Planetis]

Hey, Vistora, what year is it (anno domini please) in this RP?

Not super important, but I need to know roughly how old Spear is.

Important question for my reinforcements; is there nearby ocean? I.E closer towards California?

I can shave off a zero off the soldiers if it makes people feel better.

[Vistora]

Aye. At this rate, I might need to beef up the Hadron Corps, ot at least make them a little less helpless in the face of aerial attacks.

Also, when it comes to location, I was thinking about setting it in one of the desert badlands of southwest North America. Plenty of terrain to maneuver around.

Important question for my reinforcements; is there nearby ocean? I.E closer towards California?

Yeah, we can have it take place around California for proximity to the ocean. Another option would be the Atacama desert, as that is adjacent to a coast, but I decided I liked the topography for parts of the Mojave and Sonoran deserts more.

Hey, Vistora, what year is it (anno domini please) in this RP?

Not super important, but I need to know roughly how old Spear is.

Shit, well there is where you've caught me blind. The RP occurs roughly around AT 450 in the Alt-Vistoraverse, but where that lies along the CE timescale I haven't a clue. If you must go with something, assume it's about 2700.

Ps this is mostly just my land forces based on my Pt.1 fact book

I can shave off a zero off the soldiers if it makes people feel better.

I think shaving off that zero would help. This is just one battle, not a full-scale campaign.
