Osean-Joyean War (PT to PMT only, OOC, Signups Closed)

[United Osean States]

Sorry about the long silence, bad case of writer's block. Hopefully I'll post something tomorrow.

Will the RP go along that the receiving nation indicates whether a target is discovered or hit after another nation makes an action - kind of like in the board game Battleship - or will it be up to the author to, for lack of a better word, god-mod?

[Qassadia]

Nation Name: The Holy Kingdom of Cassadia
Side (Osean\Joyean): Joyean
Support given: Diplomatic support, favorable media coverage, intelligence gathering support, arms sales on discount in exchange for exploration and mining rights of areas believed to hold vast resource deposits, ''Private Military Contractors''

Another Tolkien fan, I take it?

Hm, before I go on to add some other obscure secret technology missing from most ORBAt catalogs, are UUVs fine? The US has had an underwater drone fleet since 2011 which has been of particular espionage interest to the Chinese since (https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/underwat ... d=14826316), and the Chinese themselves have gone about to allegedly testing working prototypical entries to the drone-based ASW and ASuW domain, which would meet the MT & early PMT guidelines (https://www.forbes.com/sites/hisutton/2 ... de7b841991); though they've made other working strides already - probably from salvaged US tech (https://www.forbes.com/sites/hisutton/2 ... af365b6693).

Thoughts? Clear to bring in if the situation arises and we have a second, more modern Midway on our hands?

UUVs aren't especially obscure. They're MT, so as long as you're not planning on sticking super gravity cannons or something on them, it should be fine.

Generally speaking, you post the actions your forces/people take, and the other player(s) post what their forces do - or what happens to their forces - as a result. And visa versa. For example, you would post about your forces launching an attack, and the other player would post what his forces do to defend themselves, what damage/casualties they take, and whatever they do to shoot back at you. All within reason on both sides, of course.

RPs have a tendency to work better - and be more fun - when handled cooperatively rather than competitively. Like a game of Battleship where both players can see both boards and work together to tell the story of how the game progresses, instead of each trying to beat the other and win. That's why OOC threads (like this one) are so useful.

Joyean Ministry of Defense Headquarters 2000

Nobody noticed the shadow as it slipped over the fence. Nobody noticed when the guard at the emergency exit was silently stabbed. Corporal Frederick Spaltrin is the best sniper in the Lacienian Military. He has 381 confirmed kills and keen on obtaining a 382nd. Frederick slipped into the office of John Shepard, the head of the Joyean Military, and waited. When Mr. Shepard arrived at his office and noticed his chair had been moved, he began to let out a call. "There is an intrude...." He was then cut off when he was suddenly and abruptly strangled from behind. Corporal Spaltrin then proceeded to slip out of the building and into the waiting car.

OOC: It makes for a better time if we try to keep our post longer and have details. This post is actually a great example of that style.

If you're not a puppet, then it's also a great example of godmodding.

[Mitheldalond]

On a geography note, is Joyea laid out basically the same as New Jersey, with ocean to the East? Also, any rough idea of a scale for that map?

Yep.

I agree with your sentiment, by the way; hence why I'm trying to keep my deployment relatively small. Speaking of which, I should probably overhaul Prussia-Poland's deployment, as I just realized that this is probably not going to be a ground war.

Joyea is mostly jungles with mountains and tundra in the northern area most notable blackwater. I'll have the map edited so it has a scale. Climate wise joyea has 2 seasons the wet season (spring/summer) and a dry season (fall/winter). During the wet season there are large monsoons and it tends to be extremely hot. During the dry season there is snow tons and tons of snow or like in the name it is dry as hell.

UOS, I'm going to need a map of your country.

Just a suggestion guys but... permit Osea to defend himself properly maybe? <.<
Just an idea.

I'm confused, whats the lost cause in this case?

Letting Osea defend himself, considering that the man never gets on.

literally just find a map of osea from strangereal/ace combat, this isn't hard

I mean getting smashed by WWII style massed bomber armadas in MT without being allowed any recourse is a... pretty significant disincentive towards posting. <.>

I see your point, but I more or less am trying to go for something kind of like the blitzkrieg as my first assault. I didn't post the second part of my assault to let Osea recover and possibly make a counter offensive.
