It would then become an international controversy, regarding not only the idea of the person being guilty, but also if it should be a crime.

So you know how the Cold War had a bunch of proxy’s wars but in this alternate universe the cuban missile crisis actually didn’t fail and nukes were launched on New York and dc . And the whole world went to war so NATO vs the Warsaw pact and the us won Vietnam and Korean War in this but… it is still a nuclear war

Well, magic is real, so I'm down. It helps that Amenrians have tech that can check if the person is actually guilty.

The premise is this:
Welskerland is, for the most party, your standard first world Western democracy. The only morally despicable thing the modern government does is the way it treats a specific minority in the country. Grezians are the native people of Grez, a desert country that was conquered by Welskerland decades ago, and is now treated as a part of Welskerland. Despite a long history of fighting for their independence, the Grezians still remain under the rule of Welskerland, though they did manage to at least secure some rights such as going from an annexed core of Welskerland to an autonomous region that for the most part runs itself apart from the Welskerland's central government.
Tensions have re-escalated lately over politics and religion. Grezians despise the Welskian monarchy, but are split as to whether they should be a republic or have their own native monarchy. Also, Welskerland is officially a Christian nation that allows tolerance for all faiths, but most Grezians hold to their traditional indigenous beliefs and see the encroachment of Christianity as threatening their way of life.
This all ends up culminating in a situation where Grezians separatists plot to assassinate the Welskian royal family and maybe also several members of the national government, if they can pull it off. Once the Welskian people learn of this plot, it plunges the entire country into another civil war.
Is anyone up for this?

Well, I have been wondering about getting back into RPing on these forums again, it's only been nearly 5 years so I'm almost due for changing up the status-quo again just for personal entertainment.
So, how about we make a deal? You can hire some Hurties to protect some folks in whatever manner they see fit, and everything spirals into chaos from there.
-That or someone hires Hurties en-masse as a war-winning easy-button, the price to pay afterwards be damned.
Not pictured: The author of this is sporting quite the impressive cheshire-grin. I'm sure some of the older powerbrokers in II would've wished that I stayed gone.

It would be neat for you to jump into the rolplay like that if... There were actual details.
Then again we also dont know the tech level of this proposal either, or hard and fast limits. For all one cares it could be medieval with a hint of FanT.

Ah. Welskerland straddles the line between MT and PMT. It's closer to the former, but I am generally okay with some limited PMT stuff as long as it doesn't get unbalanced.
I don't know about any rules of limits beyond the basic site-wide stuff, but I am open to pretty much any outcome in the RP except for the annexation of Welskerland. I am open to suggestions, though.

I'm thinking of starting a character based; casual RP set in a military academy where players enrolled as army Officer Cadets, learn a thing or two , the basics, then take turns in leading troops in simulated wargaming scenarios against one another. First learn how to lead a platoon, then go through field tests where they have to resent their platoon operations plans, before learning how to organize companies, battalion level concepts. It will be mostly realistic, tactical level, but generally casual RP.
Think anyone would be interested?

Curious, why to majority players seems turned off whenever they sees "realism" tags?
Because of the annoyance of hard realism being 1:1 with real life, denying escapism through fantasy while also rapidly increasing the skill floor disproportionately against a possible audiemce that has rapidly lost interest due to the lack of escapism present.
If anything it would sound more like attempting to LARP being recruited, but on an online forum. Which, to many players, is no different from actually getting recruited save for some very minor details.
