The Story:
It's 31st of July, 2023, 16:50 hours UTC, or ten minutes before midnight in East Asia. Ten minutes before the August First anniversary of the People's Liberation Army of the People's Republic of China. A naval task force of its navy is out on the prowl on the waves of the East China Sea. Relations with its perennial enemies the Republic of China and the Empire of Fusō have sunken to historical lows, unprecedented in the past eight or so decades. An ultimatum has been delivered to Kyōtō demanding the removal of Fusōnese forces from the islets of Senkaku in the middle of the East China Sea or face a declaration of war by midnight. The Fusō Government, in the middle of international anti-piracy exercises, has refused to comply. It's now midnight, war in East Asia has come.
The OOC Story:
In the eternal boredom of Ostmark and countless hours spent on their freeware naval simulator a scenario was born. A scenario mostly derived from the manga series Carrier Ibuki written by the author of things like Chinmoku no Kantai (Silent Service). This is the scenario that I decided, due to my boredom to take to NS.
An nota bene: This is still a military exercise and no actual war will happen... unless I - the umpire makes PRC do so.
The Rules:
- I am OP and Chief Umpire, and my word is law.
- Somebody is Deputy OP/Umpire.
- There isn't a minimum posting requirement, however in courtesy to your fellow roleplayers a decent paragraph should be expected.
- You already know what level of eternal shame you would bring upon your ancestors should you godmod so I shan't mention it further. :3
- No nukes, no WMD's.
- This is an military exercise done with computers and friendly forces. I would be very surprised if somebody dies (although it's the high seas so anything can theoretically happen). If you want to however, do ask first.
- Have fun, and stay frosty!
