[xelnagahomie]

I've been around the Internets, and one of the best things on Forums I can think of are Wargames, where people take control of a whole nation. The best of these by far is County Wars, and it goes a little something, like this.

I claim no ownership of this, for this all is the product of better people than me

Background
The ultimate demise of the United States and many other countries of this era cannot be attached to a single disaster or tragedy, but rather numerous events that occured all at the same time.

Many consider the first of these events to be when the United States invaded Syria in 2007, creating public anger unseen since the height of the Vietnam War. Eventually, the destabilization throughout the Middle East caused an American withdrawl as dozens where killed each day, the occupied cities went up in flames, and the cry of Alluh Akbar rang throughout the Middle East.

The Numerous Veterans returning from these wars, and the rate of unemployment in the US all contributed to a massive rise in internal strife, with President Gardener (D) declaring martial law in many of the nation's major cities.

The Avian Flu also reared it's ugly head, killing nearly a three quarters of a billion people without adequete healthcare in Eastern and Southern Asia, and Africa. The United States got off fairly easy, with only around 10 million (Out of a skyrocketing population of nearly 350 million).

The election of 2008 showed the lowest voter turnout in history, with Nathan Hardenbrook of the American-Federalist Party being elected. Often considered a lame duck President, his Presideny saw an aproval rating hovering around 25%, with terrorism abound inside the United States. Infrastructure began to age, and the increased population took it's toll upon the system, bankrupting the US.

Before the election of 2012, the US Stock Market collapsed. The US faced 50% unemployment, and wide-spread chaos. Several thousand deaths from famine have been proven true....

The Election of 2012 is widely believed to have been fixed, with President Hardenbrook supposedly winning all states in the Union, and 90% of the popular vote. The final act of terrorism was seen in the US when a low-yield nuclear bomb (believed to be from one of the former Russian-States or Iran) exploded in Washington DC during President Hardenbrook's Inauguration, killing him and the entire government. The nation under the combined strain of the last few years, writhed and collapsed.

2015. Now. Civil war and warlords have torn the once United States apart. Several groups of people (you guys) have banded together into a loose coalition. Can your nation live through the dying times to piece together the fallen union once more, or will it all fall victim to another leader's ambitions of power.

Rules!

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/4867/cwamericatt4.png

Each player may claim 5 counties (All touching eachother, so you can't claim San Francisco and Pittsburgh ), with only one county over 1,000,000 and two counties over 500,000.

All human and natural resources currently available in the county are available to you.... WARNING, YOU MAY ACTUALLY HAVE TO RESEARCH (GOOGLE) YOUR TERRITORY TO SEE WHAT'S THERE. Keep in mind, while large cities hold vast human resources, the countryside has the resources. Expansion equals survival.

Aircraft, Warships, and other military equipment available at bases in these counties may be used... if you have the gas to power them . No nukes.

(How to play, other details to follow if interest)

Would anyone like to play this?

Oh well, going with my hometown of Wichita, Kansas.

http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/images/u/us-ks-wi.gif

Pros:

Lots of good farming land, and home to several airplane manufacturing companies.

Cons:
Low population(357,000 in Wichita alone in 2006).

[The Hilarity]

I would like to see the rules/how to play of this game. I'll probably be joining anyway.

Confederation of Pacifica
Capitol: San Angeles (Los Angeles and San Diego, which barely have enough population to be considered a city combined)
Flag: http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/7231/pacificajw2.jpg
Government: Federal Republic
History: After the Fall, California was hit hard. Surrounded by desert, overcrowded, and heavily reliant on trade, the Big Die-Off, as it was so eliquently called, claimed millions of lives. The military collapsed in the food riots, with not one shot fired. For months, parts of LA burned, as the rich and famous tried to buy their way onto the last of the boats fleeing to states in Micronesia or Hawai'i. After years of chaos, a group of ranchers combined with the remnents of shattered national guard units to piece together a nation out of the ashes. With this second chance came a new name, a new flag, and a new dream: To unite the whole Pacific coast under one banner.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Tennessee

http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/7854/warsflagul7.jpg

Government: Democratic Oligarchy

History: After the collapse of the stock market, East Tennessee hopped on the bandwagon to hell. Eastman shutdown, causing the surrounding communities to crumble into chaos. This cause an outbreak in violence and crime throughout several small cities. The riots continued to spread until law enforcement all together was non-existent. The rapidly declining state of things only came to a halt when Holston Defense was re-established as a military outpost. The soldiers there, acting entirely on their own, reinstated a form of government that worked as crutch until a form of society was reborn. After many failed attempts to hold some sort of elections, a single group of individuals finally rose to power, known only as NCP.

The counties now fly a internally debated flag depicting a sun being eclipsed.

So, light on rules, heavy on role play?

Capital: Fort Washakie, renamed to The Washakie Redoubt during the creation of the URS.

United Reclamation Society; dedicated to reuniting the United States, and perhaps more. Wyoming has not suffered much unrest in the recent schism of the USA. Most residents merely became angry that their beloved country was wrecked by politicizations. The farmers therefore started a coalition in order to bring back the America everyone used to love: the America where every man had some land, a house, his family, his dog, and his gun. A place where on Commie or young hooligan could get away with anything without five angry stares in their direction. A land that all of the forefathers would be happy to look upon.

Pros: Food Production (Beef&Crops), High Oil Production, Mining
Cons: Low population, little if any industry (So far), decentralized population

[xelnagahomie]

Two Rules before I start.

Rule One: Realism

This is a simple, yet key aspect to the game. Everything you do needs to be able to be backed up by some other resource. This isn't enforced heavily, but I will call bullshiit if you find a massive diamond reserve in Kansas, or you find F-35s in an airforce base that doesn't exist.

Rule Two: Pre-Fanned Poop

Every target of strategic value has been attacked and looted, no exceptions. This means refineries, power plants, water distilleries, oil rigs, those stupid bobby things that extract oil in Texas. All of them are kablooie. All military installations have been looted of almost all the valuable materials left in them, so no finding battalions of tanks. Basically, this is a start from almost scratch scenario, with you folk having to rebuild everything.

How to Play?

Postings are every day if you can make it, but you won't lose if you don't stick around all day hitting the refresh button. You post like you're writing a newspaper article of what's going on in your nation. Like this:

"Cheyenne continues it's sprawling domination as it claims another county, bringing a few thousand people living in rural townships into the fold. Armed men patrol the new border with hunting rifles and Denver Broncos jerseys as uniforms. Roads continue to be cleared of abandoned vehicles..."

Just mention the important happenings and goings on inside your respective nations is all.

Expansion

For now it'll be one county per day, as every day in real life equals one week in game time. As nations get more mechanized IE: Not relying on donkeys for heavy transport, then the rate of expansion will increase.

I'll mention conflict later on, it's pretty straight forward. I'll make a new thread for the game when it starts. Before then, any questions?

[xelnagahomie]

Sorry about that, Ion old chap. Lots of other places to go though, eh?

[boromeer3]

What the heck, Ion? Looks like California has a conjoined twin... And Hawaii has an extra island.

Ready to play.

[xelnagahomie]

I'll wait until a few more people join, or at least until people see the thread who aren't usually on at 1:40 in the morning EST.

[The Hilarity]

The State of Discord

Capitol: Fort Lewis, now renamed Inner Universe

Government: Totalitarian Regime

After the fall of the United States, the small government in Olympia attempted to piece together what was left of Washington. The stationed soldiers in Fort Lewis were now being used to police the chaos from the panicked people. They were scared, and the politicians weren't giving any answers, so a small group of soldiers who were stationed in Fort Lewis made their way to Olympia. In a daring coup, they killed off the remnants of democracy and rose to the point of leadership. They promised security and stability in return for complete obedience, and the people ate it up. With the support of the soldiers that were left, the managed to rebuild the ransacked fort into the bustling center of their new country.

We will rise from our ashes like the Phoenix, and we will be greater than ever before, our corruption scorched away by flames...

Faction name: The Phoenix
Government: Chosen dictatorship

During and after the fall, chaos and Anarchy reigned New York. Millions died, and when a great fire broke out in Central park, it spread and created a huge firestorm, covering the entire city in smoke, and many more where killed by the poisonous fumes. Now New York contains a mere million inhabitants. After a month of chaos, a bussiness man called George Mcnaire seized power with the help of an army of mercenaries, armed with guns paid by his money. His reign of terror lasted for a long time. Then the War Veteran Foundation, a group of war veterans, took up arms once more to overthrow Mcnaires little government. The bussines man and his mercenaries were found hanging from the third floor of the Freedom Tower.
The leader of the little group, James Laren, a former army captain appointed himself to tthe leader of the New York Remanants. He held a famous speech, broadcased by radio. Thousands of citizens heard it, and they regained their lost hope.
James ordered several changes, amongs whom where the forming of the Home Battalion, a thousand man well-equiped army to defend the town against raider, the Forming of the Ghost Legions, a 3,000 men strong army of guerilla warriors trained to fight like The War Veteran Foundation was once trained.
He also ordered Central Park to be turned into a giant farm. Now, some time later the first good crops are in, though starvation still has a huge death toll, the rest of the small peninsula have joined them and the people now turn their eyes to the West. It is time to reclaim their lands and restore the peace.
The Phoenix has begun its rise from the flames...

Pros: High, well armed and trained population counting almost 2 million people

Cons: Hardly any farmland, no real factories, except some weapon factories which rely on manual labor.

[xelnagahomie]

What are other countries doing during this time? Watching and making bets?

North America:

With the US gone, Canada and Mexico lost their greatest trading partners, and their market summarily fell apart.

Europe:

The death suffered by the US started a chain reaction all across the world. With the American stock market gone, nations rushed to invest in other currencies before their own devalued. The Pound and Euro reached amazing record highs for a time, but crashed back down after British forces engaged a Saudi Arabian oil refinery, believing it to be owned by the group who detonated the bomb in DC. Foreign investment pulled out of the Europian banks, as did India and China who were currently waging a war against one another and a last ditch effort by the EU to lock the borders to trading came too late and only served to make the problem worse. People started pulling their money out of the markets and hording it, or buying supplies for the coming doom and gloom. Inflation reached astronomical limits, because governments no longer had anything to back their currency up with. It suddenly cost millions of dollars to buy bread, and people were angry. Riots, panic in the streets, general failure of society.

Asia: Escalating tensions finally led to a war between China and India. Some say this was inevitable, two biggest kids on the block, that kind of thing. Millions of soldiers clashed on India's northern border, through the mountains of Nepal, and on Indea's eastern frontier. Ships poured into the Indian ocean, turning it into a no-mans-land of mines and debris. The skies became filled with artificial bird of prey, as hundreds upon hundreds of fighters launched hundreds upon hundreds missiles. Nukes were not extensively used thanks to their proximity to eachother and both trying to hold the moral high-ground. Nevertheless, Mumbai, Chennai, New Delhi, Kolkata all errupted into nuclear firestorms, as did Shanghai, Beijing, Nanchang, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou. Mass starvation faced the other cities, as everyone fit to wield a gun was being drafted into both armies. After a few years of conflict, the dust settled with catastrophic losses for both sides, and very little gained. Then the economic crisis fully hit their shores, which sounded the death knell for both governments. Countries in between were either torn apart from the fighting, or fallout drifted their way, irradiating and summarily killing a great deal of their population.
Pretty much the same around the world.

Alright, I'm not a godmodder, I'm just lazy and forgetful is all. I'll get conflict up soon, before anyone attacks anyone. Hopefully, what with you playing the PPO and all.

Your in-game population is ten percent of current. Sorry I didn't mention that, getting people up to speed on a different way of RPing is a big task.

You can have as many troops as you have population, of course, keep in mind that someone has to grow food, make weapons, etc. Stockpiled resources are at your own discretion as well. Just keep in mind it's been three years of famine, disease, and war, and take whatever supplies you feel confident you can have.

[The Hilarity]

Also our limitations. How do we know what we can and cannot do? For example you found that naval base. If we take a county that has, say, an airforce base. Do we just say we find any number of things we want or what?

[xelnagahomie]

Within limits, assume the place has been ransacked by any number of governments. The naval base I have contained over fifty navy ships prewar, and I found eight, which were all heavily damaged and out of fuel. There's no strict rule as to how many boats, tanks, guns, etc that you can find, just try to keep within the parameters of "almost everything has been sacked, destroyed, or sent to war"

I know a little solution Ive been using.
Just roll a d12 on invisiblecastle. Then judge on how you think the action would go. Lets say Xelna's find is basic. You throw a 9, which is three higher than his. Assuming you found a base of the same size with the same amount of ships right now, You'd find soething like 14 heavily damaged ships, and one which only needs some minor repairs.

It just makes it a matter of luck, just like finding ships in a post apocalyptic setting is.

Love the links by the way, but how do you find out about the forts and stuff? Does it just show on the page of the state?

Edit: NY has an airfield? ????it!

[xelnagahomie]

I have a vague recollection of where US naval installations are, but I usually check Google Images and search for maps, like:

Air Force Bases (http://www.militarybases.us/airforceinstallations.jpg)
Flash map of US Bases (http://benefits.military.com/misc/installations/Browse_USMap.jsp)
Naval bases (http://www.navy.mil/navydata/bases/base-map-flat-2004s.gif)

And about the dice rolling, whatever floats your boat. It's more about RP then strict rule following anyways.

I once saw the awesomest forum game ever, based on the old game World War 3 (http://free-game-downloads.mosw.com/abandonware/pc/strategy_games/games_m_n/nuclear_war_3_ground_zero.html). I wonder if that could work.

[xelnagahomie]

Nuclear War

Each player starts with 3 cities, and may perform 1 order each turn. Orders should be sent to the GM through:

PM
email:

(When orders has been sent, please post a “sent” msg in the thread, to make sure the GM has received the order).

If you don’t send any orders for a turn, you won't be auto-set to do something (The GM won't deflect for you, the GM won't do anything for you... ), and since the GM posts a msg from time to time in the forum about who still needs to send orders, people can see who’s open for nuking, so be sure to send them. You can send the GM a default order, if you wish, but I recommend that you send a queue.

If you don’t send your orders, there will be consequences, unless you can come up with a good reason BEFORE you’re missing your orders (i.e. if you’re going on vacation tell us BEFORE you leave, not when you get home)


code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# of turns missed: Consequences:
1: nothing
2: You’ll lose one city this round
3: You’ll lose two cities this round
4: ---------you get Wasted--------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Each turn takes about 24 hours (Ending at 10 AM GMT each day) (Though there might be some changes, so don’t count on it being ready every day at this time... maybe it’ll be earlier, maybe later). If the GM has received all orders before time runs out, the turn has ended and he'll post the results early.

You will be able to change your orders up until one hour before the end of the turn.

Spy missions don't count as orders: e.g. you can sabotage an enemy and nuke him in the same turn. Each player starts with zero spies. You can send out multiple spies per turn if you have them.

Orders:


* Launch Nukes:
The player can launch two nukes. The nukes can be launched at different players or they can be launched to the same player, depending on preference.

* Stockpile Nukes: *
When stockpiling nukes you can launch 2-4 nukes instead of 2 at a time. You can't stockpile stockpiled nukes, the max # of nukes is 4. You don't have to use the stockpiled nukes the following turn. If you've got stockpiled nukes and want to nuke someone, but also keep the stockpiled nukes, you may.

* Deflect: *
When deflecting nukes to a certain player, every second nuke to arrive that turn will be deflected to another player (Which has to be included in the orders). The nukes which get deflected is: 1, 3, 5… while 2, 4, 6… will hit

* Hide in bunker: *
Each player starts with one bunker. When used, ALL nukes fired at you are destroyed (Not deflected), and all spies sent against you are killed (caught by the guards). After one use, the bunker is unavailable, unless rebuilt.

* Build a Bunker: *
Gives you another bunker to use (up to a max of 2).

* Train a new spy: *
Just like it sounds. (No-one starts with any spies) Up to a maximum of 3.



* Build City:
You get one extra city. (No more than 5 cities can be built, this is not ICS).

* Sabotage (Spy):
When using sabotage on another player, the other players orders will be cancelled. This kills the spy used. Sabotage does not work on bunkers; stockpiled nukes launches that are sabotaged lose the stockpile involved.



All orders marked with a * sign shall be referred to as "unknown projects" unless they specifically come into play that turn.

If you post a "sent" msg in the thread, but the GM doesn't recieve any orders, he'll auto-set you to whatever you want your 'default' orders to be - send them with your first orders (Of course he'll send you a msg that he didn't recieve your orders)

The only orders that can be combined are Sabotage with any other order. Stockpile cannot be combined with deflect, for instance.

* * * * *

Ruley enough for y'all?
