A World Without Electricity - A Post-Apoc Nation RP - Games

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;44517921]Well it's more about the after-effects. The small-pox attack also simulated a national blackout thanks to power-plant workers dieing. It showed how quickly society would fall into disarray without certain things.[/QUOTE] A blackout is much different than electronics simply no longer working, though. If a blackout occured, you'd be able to re-instate normal operation easily enough by just restaffing the power plants. Here that's not possible.

Alright, I still don't have turn submissions for Los Zetas, the Novanglian Republic, or the Tsardom of Alaska. Just a reminder to those three people that you can and probably should submit turns even after you've established your country.

The MSP supplies a bulk of the materials scavenged from the old canal, and asks Laurentia if it would be interested in signing a mutual defense pact. - King Albert I declares a state of war with the USA, citing a preemptive strike and the protection of MSP independence from the pretender state. The enemy is hereby referred to simply as "the State of Virginia". Albert sends a communique to Virginia, stating that he is willing to make peace with Virginia, if they sign a treaty promising to disarm, and recognize the MSP as a legitimate state. - King Albert begins a propaganda campaign as well as barring all Virginian access to the region, to galvanize the citizenry into joining the military. He relays the information that this enemy is an authoritarian, fascist pretender state, intent on conquering and enslaving the entirety of America. He appeals to their patriotism, claiming that that Virginia is akin to the oppressive parts of the Middle East, and Africa. - A proper and new road and farm system is created. Citizens are given free reign to stake their claims to vacant pieces of land, but are required to communicate with their government in legitimizing their claims. - In preparation for war, the army and navy are both increased, and both are given special training in discipline and keeping formation in battle. - The MSP places an embargo on Virginian goods. - Albertist traders begin to venture out and establish trade routes with other declared nations, some on commission by the government, some to seek out their own fortunes. - The firebomb research is completed. - Taking a page out of the UDR's book, the MSP begins to reoccupy and construct oil rigs and coal stations, and begins to look into the possibility of using wind farms and hydro-based solutions to generate electricity. [b]WAR PLANS:[/b] - The army moves out, crossing the border into Virginia and engaging enemy troops in open warfare. Troops are given orders to keep formation and capture any major towns and cities. The firebombs researched previously are used before battles, to distract and thin out enemy numbers. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/Fa24nG6.png[/thumb] [b]United Dakotan Republic[/b] -The Willmar Agreement was signed by the KRP and the UDR and has set renewed borders, agreements of free trade, and recognition of each other's countries. The treaty outlines that the Dakotan Republic shall not pass Okalhoma and Northern Texas, but may got westward as it pleases. It has also laid groundwork for the United Dakotan Republic and Kingdom of the Rising Phoenix to aid each other with rationing food during the harsh winters of the Northern Plains. -With the meeting of the Kingdom of the Rising Phoenix, several citizens of the United Dakotan Republic see promises of a brighter future with the ability to make peace with the new country. All is not peaceful though, with insurgent cells in Linton drawing up plans on how to attack trade routes being used by the Kingdom of the Rising Phoenix, in the hopes of initiating a war between the two countries. -With the push southward, the United Dakotan Republic has come into contact with tribal groups belonging to the old Native American reservations. Several of which that have made home under the faces of Mount Rushmore as well as the Crazy Horse Memorial. The United Dakotan Republic was able to make peace with these groups, and has since annexed them into the Republic, bringing into view several new territories that are not only rich with new populations, but also rich with mineral deposits that'll aid in the manufacture of new weapons and vehicles. -With the Willmar Agreement in place, several traders are getting caravans ready to head East, to start trade with the Kingdom of the Rising Phoenix. They bring with them salted walleye and burbot, coal, and oil. They have also brought untold amounts of Dakotan Badds, the currency of the Republic. -With older medical supplies running low, practitioners in the medical fields have been relying on the study of old medicines used by the Native Americans, in the hopes of not having to plant opium to make pain relievers. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/h3iCvQE.png[/thumb] [b]Kingdom of the Rising Phoenix[/b] -Offer an alliance to the Dakotans -Offer to take in any refugees in the surrounding countryside -Begin recruiting for The King's Army -Set up expansive farms and orchards to grow food crops such as wheat, corn, barley, rye, apples, pears, plums, pumpkins, beans, etc. -Attempt to find and restore steam locomotives and put them on existing train tracks to set up a new mode of transportation. -Set up a Civil Service program where those who are not employed in a craft or trade work for the Kingdom tending farms and orchards, working on construction projects, etc. -Set up a Police Service where trained civilians can enforce basic common sense laws such as "No murdering", "no stealing", "no conning/fraud", and "seriously stop fucking murdering people". -Establish The King's Army and recruit for it. Train the soldiers hard but well, focusing on martial weapons such as swords & shields, pikes, etc. -The best and brightest soldiers and students will be made Templars of the Phoenix and given supreme training. They will be the 'special forces' of the KRP --The Templars will be split into two divisions: Martial and Ranged. Martial Templars will be given advanced training in hand-to-hand and swordplay, whereas Ranged Templars will be given any and all salvaged firearms as well as crossbows and trained to be accurate and deadly. -A Cavalry force is to be trained to fight from horseback with pikes and shields. -Set up a currency system based on old world coins of pennies, nickles, dimes, quarters, and dollar coins. Paper money is worthless but the coins are good. -Set up Trade Guilds for various trades and crafts and require that tradesmen and craftsmen be members of these guilds to do business. -Send out armed parties to scavenge businesses, industrial parks, police and army bases, and everything else to find building supplies, weapons, ammunition, tools, and other necessities. -Research has led to the breakthroughs of Steam Locomotive Construction and Black Powder Production.

The Navy is ordered to begin retrofitting a large ship into a sail boat. -The US Forces, a conglomerate of the pre-Flare Army that was stationed in Maryland and Virginia and the National Guard, as well as members of the Air Force, Navy, and Special Forces brought into the infantry, move up to the northern border in order to defend themselves from Philadelphia. -The Government pays handsomely for any metals or valuable materials. This includes old guns, spent ammunition, copper pipes, anything and everything that could possibly used to help build new weapons or restore power. -Officials have noted that news in the USA travels unusually fast. This might suggest <DATA EXPUNGED>. [b]WAR PLANS:[/b] - Set-up check points on roads headed into Pennsylvania. Mount heavy machine guns in order to provide more firepower. Set-up sandbags. - Have a small garrison of troops at each checkpoint ready to defend. - Distribute Tear Gas to grenadiers and anyone with training. Give grenade launchers to these two groups as well in order to be disperse gas. Split regular thrown tear gas among normal troops. - Use Tear Gas grenades to gauge enemy response to them. If they are disciplined enough to keep moving forward and let it disperse while taking cover. Immediately open fire and use grenades and such. - Have patrols move from check point to checkpoint through a straight line in order to make sure the enemy doesn't sneak around. - Down the roads have a garrison of troops stationed in order to respond to any attempts to attack.

Also give them orders to hook up with any national guard elements in Pennsylvania and subvert them to the right side. - Take a sail boat in the Chesapeake Bay and put special forces on-board. Have it sail out and along the coast until they can move from the east into Pennsylvania. Have them integrate into the population and begin sabotaging enemy operations. Teach them how to make chemical based triggers for C4 before they leave. - Have marines go west and north until they can begin an attack on the monarchy from the West. Ensure the marines have the best equipment possible in order to maintain the attack. Any working electronics are given to them after the Seal team gets their equipment. They are given priority for non electronic optical scopes. - If the check points seem as if they fall have troops under orders to begin fighting retreat back to the beltway. Have National Guard troops fortify the beltway and military bases. Troops are ordered not to retreat from military bases unless absolutely necessary.

Oh Pez. Don't you know the first rule of modern warfare? Never declare war unless you get provoked and have proof of who did it.

Long live the Phoenix and the Republic!

I'm going to create a declaration for a neutral zone of New York and Long Island, I need at least three signatures (aka anyone who replies to this and says yes).

Ill say yes. On the condition that any military bases and its troops and equipment are returned to the remnants. Does not include national guard equipment.

Here is the map for it: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/cDr7G9I.png[/IMG] (courtesy of Malos)

Hurray the turn. Malos it kinda feels like you're just copy-pasting what we send you into the turn, tho. You ought to take what we write in our turns and rewrite it, make it have effects and reactions, unforeseen consequences, etc.

I don't know. I feel like doing too much with a country without the owner's permission is kind of a dick move. I'll consider that in Turn 3, though.

If you're unsure of how exactly to go about it, try talking to Seed Eater, Sobotnik, Mr. Face, or Zillamaster. They're all 'old guard' players from these types of games and have all GM'd successful length games, they could give you tips on how to write the turns so you're not just copy-pasting things. I'm sure any of them would be glad to help.
