Me? :D

I don't know. Al Araam would be my first choice, but if he is too busy, then it would probably go to you indeed.

Well, I've been giving it some thought myself and here are my feelings about the WW. I really don't see how logically we can actually have a war where every nation in our world is involved since most of the nations in our world are all control by a single player and personally I would fear that the more nations one person has involved the less they'll be able to work out really good posts.

Besides both of the RL WW's didn't actually involve the entire world, just enough of it's "superpowers" to consider it a global conflict. Thus in my opinion the war should be confused in a single region (maybe two) and should certainly center on two key nations (good vs evil, although these lines can certainly get blurred). We'll certainly need two nations for which can slowly drag in other nations as one side gets stronger than the other.

I should think one side should be a JAUST nation since they'll be an easy way to get other nations involved. Who ever has is the other side should be a nation that most are willing to work with especially if it means oppose JAUST. I think Europe at the moment is an interesting Region because you have war looming between AA (A JAUST member correct?) and Yshurak. Now sure Yshurak is a communist nation, but they haven't really been an outspoken one thus I really don't see a problem with other's being willing to fight along side them if only to oppose to current "JAUST Domination" we currently have in our world.

Another good position is Africa. There was an idea to get all the local "superpowers" of Africa together to oppose further expansion into Africa by foreign powers. They could still happen and even go as far as you try and free the already colonized areas (similar to the idea already suggested).

Either way and still say it should involved all regions and it certainly shouldn't involved every nation we have. I think to have a really effective war we should certainly pick the "start-off" opposing nations and then from there people can delegate which of there many nations (if they have more than one) they will delegate to fight in the war and for which side. Of course they can always switch sides, but at least this way we won't have someone trying to juggle two or three nations.

Oh and as a side note, all Asia nations look for a PM from me about the war I had mentioned earlier.

Well said NRE, and some very valid points. As I said before, I'm more than willing to play the part of either the 'evil' or 'good' side. And Europe would be the best bet for this to happen. Once the nukes go off and AA gets the blame, you can bet most of the world will go apeshit and support Yshurak. JAUST will support itself. Those in the middle can flip-flop as needed to provide some good plot twists and excitement. This would be my first choice for a WW. It doesnt even have to involve every nation, since most of the 'superpowers' will be involved either directly or indirectly in some way and justifys the WW title.

And also like I said, I'm even willing to lose that land. Or if Scy thinks JAUST can pull it off we can win. Or a draw depending on who joins who's side.

I think it could work. Anyone second?

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the lurkiest of them all?
Caronicilia
Apr 4 2007, 04:35 PM
Just as AA, as I'm sure you've all probably noticed, Caronicilia is a little bit militaristic. 73% of our budget, in fact, is military. I'd be willing to have the Kaiser die, and have his sone, Otto XIV rise to power. He's much more insano, and much more militaristic as well. The Caronicilian culture is built on Pan-Guraism; basically a philosophy that a great historical empire (The Gurai Reich) held colonies on all corners of the Earth. Caronicilia is now, more or less dedicated to having all the former Gurai lands back under its control.

I'd certainly jump on the chance to enter a war, if Otto was in power, and I'd be willing to loose some if it had to come to that. World War would be awesome for RP.

73!? How'd you do that? I can't get above 50...

Also, Paradise, I wouldn't object to taking over a _bit_ of power in this war... ;)

Also also, I will third AA's proposition.

I spend on defense, and nothing else, save law and order and one other category I forgot.

Or rather, they make an unprovoked attack against JAUST assets just because they don't like them. <_< :D

What about South America...does the war need to go there?

Well if you want to lose land in New Medea all you need to do is ask.

I don't want to, but I'm willing to. Key difference.

Anyone willing to answetr the Africa question?

Also, I think we should catagorize various major events that ae to happen in the war, from specific battles to the deaths of certain characters (assassination or otherwise).

ANother idea I had was to appoint a warmap maker for this particular RP...that way the regional mapmakers wont go stark crazy updating maps (or not updating at all). The warmap maker would show how things are looking world wide onc a week or so. However for specific things (like battles) it would be the responsibility of the combatants (or a willing third party if the combatants can't) to make a battle map.

By the way, I was just on wikipedia recently, and I have fallen in love with the "warbox" in the articles depicting battles. In the running commentary thread that will be set up (the one linking the other threads, etc.) we can hav a warbox after a major battle is done...*is wistful* :lol: That idea is only half serious but still..something to be considered.

Also, in order to make land seizures more acceptable, I want to take a note from NRE's book (or maybe not his exact idea what I'm gonna say, but it gave me the inspiration anyway :P ) and put it out there that...all land as of the start of the war should always and forever be under the control of that person unless they so explicitly wish to get rid of it permanently..(i.e, you don't get it back in any RP relating to the WW or anytime soon after the WW...you know what I mean). Thus when any territory is taken during the war, it will be officially listed as occupied and (with consent of owner) the occupier can do what they wish with the territory. However, for all intents and purposes, that remains the players land.

What say y'all?

Depending on when this war happens Draxis may or may not be involved right away, I have to complete a few story arches before I would consider Draxis developed enough to go into a big war.

Sennar is about to go batshit crazy and splinter to an insane degree. WMDs will be flying just about everywhere, maybe something involving Sennar can help cause the World War front in Africa. Maybe the Catholics provoke Scytherius, and Scytherius brings the hammer down on them. Of course there will be a humanitarian crisis soon, and Sennar will be a lot like Somalia was in the early 90's, just with lots of WMDs (Chemical/Biological, no Nukes).

I said NO Nukes. But they will go nuts, and unless someone wants to give either the Islamists or one of the many other groups nukes there might be some nice explosions in country.

What about Flumes starting a tremendous fuss in Ziyer, which makes Zolony feel safe to go nuts and begins their own war spree into its surrounding territories.

To counter the growing threat, the Assassins from their base in Africa get involved -- resulting in New Harumf to attack Tigerland directly while the Assassins are spread thin.

To add a twist, Shreikland and Sahndaq could do a little 'at one another's' throats over their different religions, which results in a bloody religious conflict along their border villages where inhabitants are of mixed nationality on both ends.

Savvy?
