OOC: Dominion Resistance

Beautiful Snowflake Posts: 906 Group: Members Member #429 Joined: April 13, 2008	Kasnyia Jun 8 2009, 02:34 PM I actually talked to AQ today, he'll be back. I SEE YOU ONLINE. A.Q. hides behind a potted plant. "Is it safe to come out now?" Kas Only when AQ is around. The way I was gonna play it (With Kas's permission?) was with the overwhelming Dominion manpower in Paradise, the inevitable resistance succeeds in little but demanding constant attention from the Dominion Army. As Dominion might begins to wane elsewhere, and Gassel's resources are redirected, the uprising begins in earnest. Al Qalaa frees itself first, (technically becoming an independent country in the process) but mainland Paradise survives for a little bit longer as a Dominion successor state, what with the three Dominion armies encamped there. On a more immediate note: My colony of Zanzibar is still technically a quiet, independent island (literally and metaphorically) from Dominion influence. It is currently a home for Paradisian exiles and escaped Caliphate Navy equipment. Edited by A.Q., Jun 8 2009, 06:47 PM.

They won't make their move until Veicht splits though, since the chaos that comes from that will give them the breathing room they require. That and the fact that Veicht can't call in support from the rest of the Dominion. Don't get me wrong, Tempest Fury is looking good and all. It just seems like a bit of a "closed show". I'm not saying it won't do. I'm not saying when it get's going that other people won't join in. It just seems like it involves the people it involves - whereas Europe involves all the major powers (granted a few people get left out) and Asia is "anyone who wants in get over here!" and I am following that topic, waiting for the right moment. I feel like the American front is a little more insular from the overall plot. However I'm not saying it's not important, but its pacing doesn't need to be as demanding.

I'm kind of waiting for Ulgania to throw down the glove and call a conference in Africa. I think the African conference should've been first, seeing as its the only one with major Dominion activity. I need to start rebelling! Call a conference already!

I like this idea. As it makes a lot of sense. By the time we get to that point... we would all be aware of one another and properly organized.

EDIT: The three-pronged attack should work. Instead of turning everything into a conference I think it could work to have a clandestine meeting, or even set up similarly to Project Fox, where the meeting itself was held very far enough away to stay out of the line of sight of the Dominion.

I need to start rebelling! Call a conference already! Certainly I'd be up for it. I just have to think of the details on the Dominion side, as to who would be controlling this (vast) stronghold et al. EDIT- Do note that because the world's armies outside the Dominion barely have enough strength to make such a push, that even with the defeat of the Dominion, it won't be through counter-conquest, but small decicive victories that build on each other (and helped along by the general collapse of the Dominion from its own over-stretching). So even when this epic Mid-East battle finishes out, there are still going to be a lot of Dominion military forces still standing, most of them controlled by the various successor states...

Field Marshal Posts: 4,159 Group: Veterans Member #149 Joined: June 1, 2005	I understand why you feel that way. It's not meant as a slight, and I decided to go along that course to satisfy the RP element I've created. He was strong headed back in the day, and was commonly paranoid. It would make sense that he had a secret double to some degree. I kindly ask you forgive and forget on this one point.

Field Marshal Posts: 4,159 Group: Veterans Member #149 Joined: June 1, 2005	Also, to add. The Emperor has been alive since the start of my breaking away. He was the 'beggar' and was mentioned at least once during that entire RP. Angel being his, well, girlfriend of a sort. so, please. Allow me this one pleasure. I genuinely like the character. Edit: Yes, he does. Though I haven't gotten into it much. He is horribly scarred. Bullet wounds, burns, and things of that nature. His entire body is covered in patches, with a scar across his chin and part of his left cheek. My appologies, as I should have gone into more detail. Edited by Assassin, Jun 9 2009, 07:34 PM.

Could Gassel's son and a few Dominion officials escape to the MidEast to make a last stand? I don't know what Gassel's son is like, his personality, but several times in history when a larger empire falls, the heir ends up with the remnant and tries to rebuild the empire for himself.

Chairman of the Bank Posts: 12,339 Group: Veterans Member #164 Joined: July 15, 2005	This isn't just a remnant like the successor states will be, this is one fifth of the Dominion and at least a fourth of its power. Still, having Bernie run things makes sense. He's the only son left who is of age. The other officers I'll think of later, though I have a feeling Rimeux (from the Paradise campaign) is going to show up. I had grown fond of that character.

Map Tsar and Southern Gentleman Posts: 9,266 Group: Admin Member #120 Joined: April 21, 2005	actually if no one minds... :lol: I've been meaning to do it myself just been preoccupied. Plus a lot of the leaders I want to call into the conference are beyond the front lines and in Dominion territory. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean I can't smuggle them into the Confederacy... I'll start it now.
