Current I love those times when you've got a few really good, high-potential stories in the making and all you wanna do is write. It's like all my stars have aligned.

I also feel like the idea that there is now a hypothesised generational divide between people who used to 'RP' on IM and people who write good content on forums is pathetic. Why start this crap?

You could also have long-form stories over text, however complaining about long-form, detailed posts (as this began as), seems both ludicrous and worthy of IM.

Sometime it's less about writing some shitty slice-of-life RP in IM, and more about creating a coherent and valued story among like-minded people. Something you'd need an actual platform for.

I always forget how quiet it is here in the British mornings. Timezones are not our friend.

Eastern aggression has been on the rise since 1945. Russia and America nearly brought the world to it's knees because of ideological differences. North Korea threatened the Free World because of an egotistical leader. The Western world has never been free. It continues it's fight against the totalitarian states, but support and the will to survive is weakening. Crumbling. Freedom is not so much a right as it previously was. Peace is much more necessary to the people's minds now than freedom ever was. They want an end to this madness. And an end is what's coming.

Stabimus Fratres, in Bello Mori.


The Western Alliance has been beaten back, like a dog. A broken mutt. Europe has been laid to waste by Russia, a major component in the war machine that is the Eastern Offensive Pact (although often just regarded to as The Horde), fires blazing in the icy wastes of Scandinavia, and desolate resorts in France and Spain. Europe is no more than a wasteland, home to carrion birds and earthworms. On the other side of the globe, America is waging war on the North Korean and Chinese (an enemy the Alliance was not prepared too face) forces. The Philippines and Japan are the battlegrounds, with the home nations providing whatever support they can. Every island the Alliance loses, The Horde gains another ten or twenty soldiers. America is on her heels, and quickly losing balance.

The Alliance, in it's desperate need and ever shrinking highly-defensive locations, are worried. They have three new weapons of mass destruction: a re-development of Russia's Tsar Bomb with a yield of 2.7 gigatons. The same as the 1960 Chilean earthquake, which was felt over 6200 miles away. Three bombs, three targets. Moscow, Beijing, and Pyongyang. In there panicked state, they send the bombs to Britain, unaware of Russia's position in regards to the bleak isle. The WMD's are shipped up to Edinburgh, to be stored in Edinburgh Castle, arguably one of the greatest defensive situations in the world, but most importantly, not yet in the filthy paws of The Horde. The enemy cannot simply blow the area to pieces as this would remove the opportunity of having the weapons for themselves, and almost certainly kill everyone within thousands of miles, including the vast majority of the Russian forces.

Alliance top-brass had only heard of the Russian advance as the mass of Red was conforming in Norway and the bombs were already en-route to it's destination. It selected six of it's most decorated, most efficient, smartest, deadliest warriors it could produce. Each of these six Widow-Makers were given a fireteam, and a specific role in which it would fill. Six commanders, twenty four defenders, thirty guardians of Western civilisation, against a legion of death and strife.













What in the name of Holy Mooseknuckles is going on... We have our OP, threedawg, and our new guest, ThreeDawgFO3... This has to be a conspiracy or something, way too coincidental.
That's great!

Agh, you're too kind, seriously. My next post should be up soon, I'm hoping in the next two hours. Whoop!


Sorry, I get all squee-ey when I get something good going with another RPer. Yay! This makes me happy.
That's actually good, I like it. I'll go with the traditional armies then. Fantastic stuff, you've saved me a butt-tonne of hassle. If you want to dicuss this any more, or have any ideas whatsoever, drop me a PM. Thanks a tonne buddy.
I was actually torn. I didn't know whether to have legions of orcs or something (for the shiggles because there are millions of them and they are a low tech level), or actually going for an enemy that could be viable. Either Russia or the Chinese I would say, they have the numbers and technology for there to be a proper onslaught, and I think the North Koreans could definitely have the numbers.

And no problem buddy, I'm glad to be getting good feedback here.

I really hate to do this... but I think I'm gonna have to sit this one out, as there's already 87 IC posts and the story has already begun to develop. I'm sorry. Have fun guys!


In the hopes of dissuading you, there is not story yet. Individual scenario's, six already, all leading to Chicago, none of which have really connected so nothing has really been lost. Although it is your choice.
That's... actually a very good idea. You know that this is one of the tragic victories for the good guys, which is good. Not to take away from your role, but all it would entail would be making the enemy movements and attacks a tangible post instead of a boring report on my behalf. Making it pretty (or gruesome). That's great, thanks.
I still need plot devices and details for this. I don't want to create a roleplay which requires your full interest, and you aren't interested because it doesn't tickle your fancy.

Scotsman, soon, we'll be popping walkers to this:I've finally caught up with everyone's scenarios! It's as joyous to rp as it is to read the tales of different characters in the universe. So many good moments! Ellie and Metro's hilariously awkward conversation.


You do realise that this radio station idea has to happen now? No excuses. Thanks, Monster is a pro roleplayer, I have to hand it to her.
