Plus it would be a interesting RP, something we've only done once or twice in the past. It would be great practice for our future lawyer RD :lol: :D

Before that I wanted to use the national flag, but that doesn't miniaturize well. So I use the Dominion Intelligence logo instead. Ah well. Stll sinister. Keep the opinions and votes coming guys, this is good stuff.

The Foremost Intellectual Badass Posts: 3,893 Group: Map Makers Member #445 Joined: May 27, 2008	I invision an elite task force with the best commandos from multiple countries pooled together with the sole mission of capturing Gassel. Demolition experts, assasins, snipers, veteran infantry officers, heavy weapon experts, etc. This lets Gassel go down in a chaotic shootout scenario. Capture Gassel, and as said earlier, do the trial Hitler never got to. Exile/imprison with a blockade and garrison on the island he's kept on. This way Gassel is taken down, but always has a chance to come back as the epic bad dudes always do. 'Course the next time the world would react much faster since they don't want a repeat.

Ironically, the Dominion is Gassel's third attempt. The first ended by defeat before he could take over Kasnyia itself and the second ended when Asia rallied to take out a naval superweapon that he intended on using to force control of Asia. So it seems the world keeps getting slower with each of Gassel's attempts. Makes me wonder what would happen next time :P Interesting voting patterns thus far. :D I have to admit, I'm becoming conflicted. I had already chosen his fate beforehand, but reading this thread gives me new ideas....

The world always has to react slower. Stalin, Lenin, and Hitler all repetedly staged failed coups before succeeding. Edited by Tristan da Cunha, Jun 1 2009, 11:25 AM.

Science and Industry Posts: 6,792 Group: Veterans Member #86 Joined: November 1, 2004	I think the siege assault against the courthouse to liberate Gassel from his war crimes trial should be almost as epic as the siege assault against Gassel's last stand in his fortress. :evil:

The Foremost Intellectual Badass Posts: 3,893 Group: Map Makers Member #445 Joined: May 27, 2008	The only problem I can see with Gassel surviving with a potential to return, is that so many people hated him and the Dominion this time around. Wouldn't they despise him more when/if he returns?

Wouldn't they despise him more when/if he returns? Maybe, but if he doesn't run the world when he comes back, it shouldn't be a problem (they don't have to get involved if they don't want to). Part of the current Gassel/WMD hate is the ubiqitous nature of it. Gassel coming back doesn't mean a return to the current status. BTW, this thread is getting me excited about the future possibilities.

Chairman of the Bank Posts: 12,339 Group: Veterans Member #164 Joined: July 15, 2005	I'll never do an RP as big as the Dominion again. I simply don't have the time anymore. So if he does come back (and his fate is still very much up in the air, hence the poll), he'll be a global threat, but he won't be running a global empire anymore. Hell, I think the Dominion would have exhausted any ambition of world domination by that point. World destruction seems to be the next avenue, in vengeance. That said, I should make it known that if anyone has been paying attention lately to a certain thread in that last few months, they would find out that even if Konstantin doesn't make it, there are others...
