Cruise Beautiful Lake Agloza (Sign Up/OOC/MT)

by **Glisandia** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 8:41 pm

Cruising

On the face of it, this should be a beautiful cruise. There might be some surprises in store, and the Northern Tavlyrian area has had some turbulent times, but the crew should have everything under control, and who messes with innocent cruise ships, right? Ready for that exotic holiday to meet new cultures and see new sights? This is that epic trip of a lifetime for you!
You might have bought a full ticket package for your family, or maybe you won tickets in a radio or supermarket contest. Possibly it was a gift from your Great Aunt Gertie. Maybe it's a chance to get away from all the pressures back home, or maybe you have a more sinister reason to be on the Lake. One thing is for sure - there is a lot of excitement in store for you!

The Cruise Line:

The Crew:

The Grand Duchy of Glisandia:

The Lake:

Lake Agloza is an ancient body of water that has historically been the meeting point of several nation-states - currently it is shared by these five:

Glisandia
Yellow Star Republic
Falkasia
Greater Orcadia
Osatana

Many civilizations have relied on it for life giving resources over the ages as it has proven to be more hospitable than the frigid Northern Tavlyrian Ocean, which is difficult to navigate for vessels without icebreaking hulls.

While technically an inland sea fed by several rivers, the salinity level of Lake Agloza is much lower than most seas and oceans, though also too high to be considered a freshwater lake.
In more ancient times, the salinity was much higher, which meant that marine life was lacking in fish, but much higher for brine shrimp and crustaceans, and also a continental mecca for the avian population which fed on these crustaceans. In recent centuries, fresh water rivers from glacier melts have made the Lake more hospitable to other fauna, including more fish species migrating in from the channels and rivers that feed into the Lake. Seals (Pinnipedia Aglozae) and sea lions (Otariinae Algozae) seem to have populated many of the lake coasts and islands during this transition time, but are the only sea mammals to speak of in the Lake ecosystem, with whales being absent from Lake Agloza.

Aside from the vast marine and aqua-agriculture resources, there are also great mineral deposits and possibly oil deposits deep under the lake, although these resources have only been discovered recently and not yet tapped into to any degree by any of the five powers that hold claims upon Aglozian territorial waters.

Also, while there are some very aggressive large fish species, sharks have never been present in the Lake. The most aggressive fish known to attack humans is the vígtefiskur (Acipenserinae Aglozae), a fish that is much closer to barracudas than all of its milder mannered sturgeon cousins and resembles a blend of the two commonly known fish. It is known in English speaking circles as the ‘Murder Sturg’. Humans are not among its targeted prey, but with its poor eyesight, it has on rare occasion mistaken them for flailing seal pups or squid.

Local legend has it that a deadly serpentine known as the Djúpurdreki stalks the waters, terrorizing the Northern Tavlyrian people who have braved the Lake for centuries.
While there are only fables and paintings of boats being attacked and sailors devoured in ancient times, there hasn’t been any credible sighting documented.

The Lake Islands:

One of the stops of the tour is off Vibarna Island, uninhabited by humans, but for some transitory scientists. However, the rocky volcanic outcropping is home to thousands of species of birds, crustaceans, and the largest colonies of seals and sea lions in the Lake. The island is protected by the Marine Life Protection Mandate, enforced by an agency of the Teremaran Security Organization. Due to its delicate environment and protected nature, the boat is only able to anchor a safe photographic distance away.

Fair Isle is a tranquil Orcadian island that is home to some croft farms, an old lighthouse, a lifeboat station, and a radar installation operated by the Ministry of Defence. The population of Fair Isle numbers around 200 people. The nearest full hospital is Port Scaig, as well as the nearest major airport, although there is a small airfield for small aircraft that acts as a taxi service at times and brings in limited supplies. Orcadian Citizens often take a ferry to the mainland, however. The ferries run 4 times per day, and also bring deliveries of diesel fuel to the island for the generators, as there’s no main electrical plant.

In the past, it was a key Orcadian base fought over during the Great War period, and there are still remnants of fortifications near the coasts.

The Isle of Schull is an Osatanian territory. Not much is known about it, other than a similar history to that of The Fair Isle during the Great War period. Due to the autocratic government in power in Osatana, the Isle is mostly inaccessible without a permit that requires the vouching of an upstanding Osatanian citizen. The odd tourist that is allowed has to make do by bunking with a local family in the fishing village due to the lack of any real accommodation.

Other than the small fishing town the rest of the Schull population are military personnel that operate a collection of military installations such as an airfield, and a minor naval depot.
The only sights from the water are the occasional passing fishing trawler/boat and a few military patrol boats. The Upplausn will be one of the few foreign ships to come closest to Schull in quite some time, during its course to dock at Kilmarry.

OOC & Rules for the RP:

SETTING AND MOOD
If you have any questions about the settings and the national culture of the ports we visit, please feel free to ask. We prefer this to you making assumptions. There is already a very detailed Teremaran canon, so we don’t need anyone making up more stuff for us.
The only canon you need to worry about creating is for your own characters. This goes especially for those filling crew spots on the boat with their characters.

Factbooks of Glisandia
Factbooks of Yellow Star Republic
Factbooks of Falkasia
Factbooks of Greater Orcadia
Factbooks of Osatana

Recent events in Teremara

Be aware that while the first part of this RP is a fun, light social character RP, there will be some heavier themes later on. It is possible that one or more of the nations that border Lake Agloza might try to interfere with the cruise ship. This might lead to a large diplomatic event, but no war.
No one outside of the region, even the continent, is allowed to bring in military forces, except for those cleared ahead of time by the OP, for a set event to happen.

You can have your government protest the offending government by communique, phone call (worked out with that player), or social media posts. Naturally, they would be concerned that one or more of their citizens are in jeopardy. You can even have your government offer to send in a hostage rescue or special operations team to assist, but expect the offer to be rejected, and respect that.

Along with the above part, please don’t metagame that your characters know something is about to happen. While there’s always a chance of such an event happening, and they might be aware of some risk, they wouldn’t have booked the cruise if they didn’t think it was worth the risk. Titanic passengers knew there were icebergs in their path, they just weren’t aware of how unprepared the crew was to navigate them.

FOR NEWER PLAYERS TO NS
Take advice from veteran players as given. This will be an easy intro to RP for some newer players, but if as a new player, you choose not to take valid advice, you won’t last long. OP will take action if necessary for those players that are in clear violation of the rules and ignoring other players.

Don’t ‘RP in a bubble’. Try to acknowledge the flow. Or as my friend Kylarnatia succinctly put it: “By signing up to this roleplay you're committing to engage with events that transpire." A good example of what NOT to do is have your character lock themselves in their cabin for the whole trip, but rather, actually engage other characters.

If a character dies or is injured, it’s because it was cleared ahead of time. Don’t assume we’re trying to kill off your character. The plan for now is that only NPC characters might come to harm and the worst that happens to the passengers is that they are truly traumatized. If you want to have something more dire happen to your character, message the OP. Especially if you plan to exit the RP, it would be good to have a logical exit, rather than just ghost out and leave your fellow players hanging.

Along with that, keep in mind that signing up for this RP means that you agree that if you are non-communicative for more than a week and progressing the RP depends on your character, the OP will have to write around that.

PACING & POSTING
Do your best to write more than one line, even if it is a dialogue response. For every line of dialogue, you should be able to write a couple more sentences - describe your character’s thinking, what they see, something going on around them or something they observe, or their current feelings. There’s always something you could add.

If you expect a response in a day or even a few days, you may be looking at the wrong RP. We will take the time it takes to get through interactions and events. Players have real life to deal with, including the OPs. The OP will inform players if they need to wrap up any interactions so that we can move on to the next stage of the RP, but as a non-OP player, that is not your job. Nor should you constantly bug the OP to move it along or call the RP ‘dead’. Calling the RP a ‘dead thread’ is extremely rude to the OP and poor RP etiquette. Depending on circumstances, there likely won’t be a warning before the offending player gets the boot. Trust the OP and communicate any concerns with them.

Keep all OOC chatter to the OOC thread. Really, there’s no reason to not use the OOC thread for any non-IC posting. You will get one warning for not following OOC/IC rules, then the next infraction is a boot from the RP.

I guess I need to say that sword-wielding Nazi robots don't belong on this cruise, nor are we accepting world leaders and their entourages. Covert operatives are allowed, but only a limited number, first come first serve. Modern technology and realistic situations apply, except for an extraordinary situation cleared through the OP.
Covid, or any type of pandemic, doesn’t exist at this time in Teremara. Please respect us and don’t try to bring Covid or any type of pandemic/plague viruses into this RP. Part of fiction is to escape reality, and we don’t need that horrible part of real life intruding here.

All other NS site and typical, accepted RP rules apply. Thank you.

- If you're going to RP multiple family members, please list all of them.

Description or Image:

Questions:
1) Can passengers bring their own “cold” weapons? Let’s say, epee (military men in my country are issued epees with their awards and really like to carry ‘em around).
2) Are cybernetic allowed in this RP? “Light” cyberpnetics that won’t turn my characterеr into a killing machine, like a robotic eye, etc.
3) Cna my character my REALLY offensive? Like borderline nazi party member.

1) No weapons. I guess I didn't think I'd have to mention that, but it's a cruise ship full of civilians with normal rules that apply to normal cruise ships. Glisandia has also dealt with a fair amount of terrorism in the recent past, so they're wary of people sneaking weapons aboard. There will be a screening just like you would go through at an airport.

2) I was really hoping to keep it MT to early PMT, but if you really must have a cybernetic person... I think you have to realize that people don't have to acknowledge any FT or FanT from their characters point of view and you're likely to discourage interaction with your character. Honestly, a robotic eye isn't that far from reality, so if you want your character to have one, that's fine.

3) Really have to bring Nazis into this? Again, someone with extreme views is going to discourage interaction. I don't think that's what you want. It's the opposite of appealing. I will say no to Nazis, but if your character is just generally offensive, that's on you. Read the rules of the OP again.

I'd like to limit the amount of characters everyone has in their party. A President would need a huge entourage, if just for security alone, and that will take up a lot of cabins. It's not really a big boat like your typical giant Caribbean cruisers.

Passenger
Character Name: Ukloss Lonjoct

Reason for Trip: Civil servants need breaks too ya know.
Brief Bio: Lonjoct is a career servant for the Arkyatani Government, where he works as the Head Administration Coordinator for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs department in the Arkyatani capital of Qo'nos. Lonjoct has thus been behind the scenes of many of the Imperial Union's diplomatic overtures. While he is not a policy maker, he does have a ear to some of the most powerful members of the Arkyatani government.

Can I at least bring blunt edged weaponry? Military issues some special blades so that military men can carry their award weapons with them around in events, where no weapons are allowed. I suppose it doesn’t qualify as a weapon then, right?

have you tried getting into a hotel that a sitting president is in, it quite simply would be off limits to anyone else who is not in the crew, security detail or personal enterage, there would be quite simply NO ONE ELSE ALLOWED on the boat.

We covered that a cybernetic, robotic, etc. prosthetic eye or limb is fine. That's really not far outside the realm of current possibility.

It's all the other edgelord-y stuff that I'm having a problem with.

As an OP of the thread, I have a responsibility to all those players who actually are willing to stick to both the rules and the spirit of the thread to not make them have to deal with those players that are not very interested in being cooperative. Part of that is not bogging down the sign ups thread with debates about what is in the spirit of the RP we're trying to create, or what back door work around I will compromise on so that you can get around the RP rules and still get your way to be an edgelord or find some other way to take away the attention from the main story.

What I want to do right now with this RP is focus on creating the characters I want to bring to the RP, like some of my region mates have done. What I don't want to do is stuff like keep discussing the definition of what a weapon is, or why a world leader will overshadow all the other characters. These things should just be evident. If they're not, this is just simply not the RP for you both and I don't need to waste more time explaining why.

Laka Strolistandiler, I think this RP isn't what you're looking for. I would say the same for Earth Allies. I thought maybe we could find compromise, and we could work with you, but again, based on your responses, and considering your post history, it's a lot of effort to find a way to get you into this RP, only for you to do one liner posts which is most of your post history here on NS. I'm just not willing to go through that only to discover that this is not going to be your miracle breakthrough RP where you suddenly decide to make quality posts that were worth me bending over backwards to accommodate you. So no to you both. No further discussion or posting from you is necessary, in fact I'm going to explicitly say don't post here anymore. Thanks.

Final point: Monavia wrote this great guide about RP etiquette that I think you should read. It covers some of this.

Question:
1) Can I bring my queen? She is not your average millionaire queen- in fact she is rather poor (since she earns nation’s average wage), and she won’t bring any security or with her. She can defend herself quite easily- no need for assistance. She will travel alone, of course, usually the queen's retinue consists of like 4-5 people, and since she is on a vacation she won’t be bringing anyone with ‘er. After all, the nation can be easily managed by our masters from The United Federation.
2) What is the age of consent “aboard the ship”. You see- one of my character-variants includes my military officer and her husband on a honeymoon voyage. The catch- the husband is 15 and she is 28 (my nation has VERY WIERD rules concerning age of consent, legality of early marriage, etc.)

This should have saved me from having to keep debating about world leaders overshadowing other characters and now statutory rape:

Jolene is a interesting case, as the tabloids hold her in the same regard as an international movie star or rock star, due to her rapid rise in fortune and success, her family ties, her philanthropy, and her personal friendship with more than one world leader. Furthermore, she is known to be a true wild child, regularly seen doing drugs and other wild antics during her wild nights out.
