Stars at War (Galactic-scale Military Nation RP)

@Luna_Maria
I think I'm spending too much time on my nations' spaceborne navy.

But whatevs.

Stars at War (Galactic-scale Military Nation RP)

Alright, just a note for everyone.

I'm currently in the process of writing up the Juran Ark Federation, a Tier-2 civilization with a more grey allegiance- they aren't deadset on killing anyone, nor on helping everyone. They act in their own interests, always.

Interstellar Concordance (Scifi 4x NRP)

@CowboyCommando
Kudos on the OP, it's quite thorough. I don't think I'll be joining- turnbased dicebased roleplaying isn't my thing, I'll play X-Com if I want that- but a tip for ya, if you don't mind a bit of friendly criticism: Distinguish between the need for a comma or a period, and always make sure you don't have sentence fragments. I don't know about others, but it's very... almost disruptive when reading a bunch of your stuff, and you have something like this:

Description of Civilization:Many rumors surround the nature of the Curators, and who their creators might've been. As the Vartauri had found them alone on the planet of Aspiron. A metropolis spanning the the surface and bellow. Tended by the Curators in the hopes that one day, the “Clients” would come. The clients defined as the sentient species of the galaxy. The guidelines, procedures, and actions they took to convince the Vartauri to bring about the first Interstellar Concordance hard coded eons ago.

Several of the sentences in here are written as if they belong to the sentence before them, but they're standalone- and so it doesn't flow very well and kinda messes me up when I read it. It may not be a problem for anyone else, but that's how it is for me.

You might instead want to write it similar to this:

Description of Civilization: Many rumors surround the nature of the Curators, and who their creators might've been. As The Vartauri had found them alone on the planet of Aspiron- a metropolis spanning the the surface and below. Tended by the Curators in the hopes that one day, the “Clients” (as defined as any sentient and intelligent species) would come. The clients defined as the sentient species of the galaxy. The guidelines, procedures, and actions they took to convince the Vartauri to bring about the first Interstellar Concordance hard coded eons ago.

Countries as people: World War One

@Wernher
I didn't write my posts just thinking "MURICA YEEAAAH, WE NUMBER JUAN." I actually did quite a bit of research, though I can't say for certain that all my sources were concrete.

My rebuttal

Most of the websites I looked up- just from simple google searches- agreed that America was surpassing everyone in Europe in terms of production before WWI even started. America also became a world power in the 1870s or so- something that most every one of my sources agreed upon.

Pre-WW1 USA was certainly 'getting there,' but it was also already fairly high up there. You also have to think of size- the US simply had more resources at their disposal than pretty much any European country, period, since the US is easily three times as big as Germany. And even pre-WWI, they were the ones that first invented armored ships, proved that they were very, very willing to go to war if needbe (our very bloody Civil War), televisions and cars, we made the first planes and first commercial versions.

The US might not be able to invade and take over other countries as easily as Germany would, but the US has far more potential there than other nations, and in this case, my character in this roleplay knows that. If push comes to shove, the US would spit out forces that may not be top notch- but they'd get the job done, and make up for their experience and skill in numbers and tactics.

I was reading accounts of German soldiers after world war I and II, and both times, they described American officers to be criminally lax, their men frighteningly casual with them, etc. etc., but that they feared America the most, because they took the battles more seriously than all the others. They made up for their informal demeanor and the like by being very much closer,
and more determined to win and fight for the troops next to them.

I've simply done research, and written accordingly. As @bluetommy2 said, if you actually have a problem, PM me and let's talk it out.

Not everything I've found is accurate, I'll admit that, but I'm also not as worried about it because- we're just here to have fun. If I were going to be picky, I'd be asking why Germany was legitimately laughing- "MWAHAHAHA" and such. But we just here to write a bit and chill, yeah?

Countries as people: World War One

Britain's House

The lone eagle in the room took a step back, as new players entered. Bickering, however subtle, began, going back and forth without fail. This sort of thing will always happen when the great countries of the world are in the same room- always bickering. Germany and her insanity, Russia and her insistence to follow her own tradition, language, in someone else's home.

Japan's last words were hopelessly naive. Come to an agreement? Work together? There was once a time when he thought he could do that with his enemy. The only reason his father ever let him go is because he made it far too costly for him to continue the fight against America- he did not delude himself that he had truly won that war. Great Britain could've won if he pushed hard enough, but it would've meant a total loss of all the other colonies, and being bankrupt besides.

No, all cards must be played carefully- and that includes when to lay some down, and go to war with it. There was a war coming, he knew, and very little could stop it.

Catching the eye of his father, he gave a slow, farewell wave, and a slight nod, before turning and slipped out of the room, and house, behind the backs of everyone else.

Seeing himself out, he clacked his way down the steps of his father's home. Bidding one of his men over to him, he leaned down and began speaking.

"Find the location of the German immediately. And then get me the transportation to get to her- that zeppelin of hers is hardly the fastest or most trustworthy invention."

Belgium's House

It was no small amount of satisfaction to see Germany's great and proud zeppelin... grounded, and smoking from one of its engines. German engineering can be great, but Erika very definitely oversells it.

And speaking of the German leader, she was clenching her fists, glaring at the sun. What did she think she was going to do, intimidate the sun? Having seen a fair bit of Erika as of late, and hearing plenty more, he wouldn't be surprised if that was what she planned to do. The fool was going to burn her eyes out, anyhow, staring at their system's star like that.

"Fräulein Brandenburg, if I may have a word before delivering something to Belgium here," he started, knowing full well that Erika might prefer another prefix.

He approached from behind her, no doubt taking her by surprise. He flew partway here; it was a terrible inconvenience to have to do it himself, but the second version of the first type of passenger aircraft was rather cramped on space, so it was just him, a pilot, and his intelligence officer.

Having caught Germany's attention, he gave what he would call a smile, and began.

"Tread carefully. You are not a world power- you don't have the support for it. Don't act like one. You are making a great many enemies, Erika, and you appear to be planning on making more. Don't forget that I can outproduce all European nations combined, and that every time I went to war, I go all in. Don't make an enemy of me or mine, Brandenburg. You won't enjoy the consequences."

Giving the nation a nod, he turned and began walking towards Belgium's homestead. Reaching his hand out, his intelligence officer placed the letter in his hand. Nodding his thanks, he unfolded it once, to ensure that it had everything in order. He wrote it on the way over- a general sum of warnings and pledges that America is always a friend to the good, neutral nations of Europe- those that have nothing to do with the terribleness that may occur.

Knocking on the doorway, he waited for it to open before presenting it.

"For m'lady Belgium, to read whenever best suited. Have a pleasant evening."

And with that, America left the foreign lands, studiously ignoring Germany and her ungainly zeppelin, intelligence officer in tow, in one of the first planes ever created. Germany may have her luxurious zeppelin, but America preferred to make things that did a job well and fast.

Are we doing dice, or just writing it out in a reasonable and believable fashion? I don't do dice.
