OFFICIAL COLD WAR ROLE-PLAY

8 Jul 2016, 19:05

We will have a Youtube Series on this.

Description

It is April 1st, 1950. In Europe, the Western Allies and the Soviet Union, once allies, are in a standoff which will decide the death of the world, or the everlasting peace. Germany, a nation which had once brought the world on its knees, is now divided into two countries, as well as its capital, Berlin.

On one side, we have NATO, the US, West Berlin and West Germany and on the other, we have the Warsaw Pact, East Berlin and East Germany. In Asia the communist North Korea is readying to unite the nation of Korea into one. The capitalist South Korea has no intent of going to war with their northern neighbours but may be forced into it very soon.

In London, the British worry ever more about Stalin’s power, and thus have set up an Operation which would lead to total war with Stalin. This is a plan which many have called to radical, but in the matter of total war, they are ready to use it if and and when needed.

The theory of the domino effect has led Truman to begin sending aid to the South Koreans as the looming threat of the North builds up even further. Washington eyes the Korean Peninsula like a hawk waiting for the first shot to be fired. Douglas MacArthur, a hero of the Second World War, is confident he will throw back the communist advance if he needed to.

In Paris, word of the war in Vietnam grow, and the fear of the French losing its main Asian colony has almost come true. As the Communist party in Vietnam has nearly taken back half of the country, and looks to keep on going until all of Indochina is under the communist banner.

Technologically, the US pushes its nuclear techniques and equipment faster and faster. Already America has more than 250 bombs which greatly outnumber the Soviets’, but the Russians have started their Nuclear testing and manufacturing lines, and soon, both nations will have equal numbers of warheads and nuclear bombs, and both will have the power to destroy the world.

The split between East and West has never before been this stark. The leaders of both the Eastern and Western blocs need to compromise where they can and where they can’t, they shouldn’t. The world itself is at stake. All it needs is a match to burn the world.

Rules

No Gold, and if you use it by accident, talk to us and we will figure out what to do (better you tell us then us finding out).
Zero trolling, you troll, you are removed.
The two Admins can and will get rid of you if we see you as acting up, or causing a massive mess of the RP.
Make realistic decisions in the roleplay. Meaning no Communist and Democratic nation being allies.
Keep NATO and the Warsaw Pact together. No one is allowed to leave when they are the starting members, (with the exception of the USA or France if the admin gives a go-ahead), until the Cold War is over. (the admin will say when it is over)
Post as frequently as possible.
Always use as good grammar as you can.
As much as you can, try to avoid WWIII in the first few days of the RP. No one wants to see the Soviets and Americans at war in 10 years game time. That doesn’t mean you can’t threaten it, just try to avoid it.

Special Rules

There are five major nations: US, UK, France, USSR, and China.
Each nuclear nation can build a nuke after timed events.

USA and USSR - Can build nukes from the start of the game
UK can build nukes in 1952
France can build nukes in 1960
China can build nukes in 1964
Israel can build nukes in 1967
India can build nukes in 1974
South Africa can make nukes in 1980 (Israel and South Africa must have good relations from when Israel gained the bomb, and South Africa must still have the partite government)
Pakistan can build nukes in 1998 (China and Pakistan must have good relations throughout the RP to do this)

3. To make sure everyone does run around with nukes threatening to blow up the world, there is no trading anything nuclear at all.

4. To make sure when WWIII does happen the RP doesn't end in a total fire, any power with nuclear capabilities must nuke only provinces with over three VPs.

6. Now, many may not know, but China and the USSR weren’t much of friends after Stalin died. After Stalin dies, which must happen before 1957, China and the Soviet Union must break ties. Every once in awhile, China or the USSR can enter each other’s provinces on the border but they may not take a province unless they want to start a full war. They may only go on the roads leading to the cities, but they may not capture the city itself.

7. All Democratic nations, and some Communist ones if you want, must have general elections every four years to simplify things.

Korean War

We start the role-play as Korean War is heating up. Any major nation can get involved, as well as the United Nations. If the UN gets involved, the Soviets can not veto the action to intervene since they were not present at the meeting. No nation is to take land for themselves in this war unless they are North or South Korea. In the event of one beating the other in a single war, the defeated nation is allowed to station troops in either the United States or the Soviet Union until it is time for a rebellion to begin.

Decolonisation

Decolonisation was something took place from the end of World War II and ended with Hong Kong being returned to the Chinese in the 1990s. As time goes on, the colonies of each major nation can break away from the motherland and then become its own state, either by planned events or by negotiation. I’ll let you guys pick if you want negotiation or planned events.

Time Rules

-Every day in real life equals six months game time.

-The role-play ends either when the Cold War is declared over by the admin or when Day 150 hits (assuming it doesn’t absolutely break up).

@Fenrir Ragnarok I can't seem to find you on the Search Player function in Ranking. If you could send me a private message over the in-game Call of War messaging system I would appreciate that.

@Fenrir Ragnarok, @Nathan the Warrior, you're both accepted!

10 Jul 2016, 19:18

Thanks!

Also, do we have a start date for the actual game? Or we are just going to wait until the ´´slots´´ are filled?

Because we have like 50 nations to be played, with around 12 players signed in.

10 Jul 2016, 19:21

We will start when either

a.) All nations are filled, or

b.) When we have a majority of the most important nations.

That said, we still need a lot of African countries and North/South Korea/Vietnam!

10 Jul 2016, 19:31

Okey, thanks!

Just a few more questions:

1- Who are the Game Admins? You and Jhon Pete?

2- Can nations evolve over time? For an example, my nation, Brazil, has Infantry lvl. 3 max, can I like ´´evolve´´ that over time so I can upgrade to lvl. 4?

By evolving I mean like having a good morale, high level factories, etc...

1. Nah, there'll be an actual moderator to keep things in check. But if something does happen, you can come to us and we can try to handle it.

2. It's not something we thought about since we have tried to keep the tech tree as realistic to the nation's history as possible. But I suppose... you can evolve a tech level (Infantry 3 to Infantry 4) every 3 years in-game (6 days in real life) as long as your average morale is above 90%. If anyone sees you breaking this rule (you have 89% morale and you have Infantry 4) you will be immediately removed.

10 Jul 2016, 19:46

Thanks for the answers.

As for number 2, that´s just a suggestion, if you guys want to implement that, ok. But if you think it´s way too complicated, it´s your´s Role-Play not mine so, you decide!

10 Jul 2016, 23:45 (edited)

Oh, another question:

This is part of my Tech Tree:

Infantry:

Infantry - Up to Level 3

Motorized Infantry - Up to Level 2

Mechanized Infantry - Up to Level 1

Armor:

Armored Car - Up To Level 3

Light Tank - Up To Level 2

SP Artillery - Up To Level 1

It doesn´t show other units, like Artillery, Anti-Tank, SP Anti-Air, etc... Can I build these units? If yes, how much can I upgrade them?

Also, you forgot to edit the part where you show the nations, there it still show Brazil as playable.

I know, but there is a problem with the editing. I am in conversation with a community coordinator about it and it should be fixed soon.

11 Jul 2016, 01:00

Thanks, but what about the Tech Tree stuff?

11 Jul 2016, 01:08

The tech tree stuff– ah, okay. I see what you mean.

If it's not on the list you can buy it from other people. Which means if you don't have any anti-tank at all, you can buy the best anti-tank there is from someone like the UK– at a cost. All members have to agree to sell and buy things at an acceptable price.

The only exceptions to this buy-sell rule are nuclear weapons. If it lists you can't have nuclear weapons, you can't have one until the Cold War is declared over by the admin.

11 Jul 2016, 01:20

I think I have a Idea, remember the Tech evolving over time? Maybe after some time, the player can contact the Admins, so they can see if the player can ´´evolve´´, being able to produce things they were not allowed to produce before. Of curse, the limit would still be decided by the Admins. However, as you said before, if the player want´s something atm they have to buy it from major nations.

Just something on another note: I kind of like this idea, we could have a Arms Market thing going on. But also, things cant go unrealistic, like Ethiopia buying a Battleship from France or Britain.

I looked into this, but it would cause the admin too much trouble. Well, not trouble, per sey, but if the admin had to contact everyone who wanted to evolve their tech, it would cause him to take too much time out of his regular work day to accommodate us. Remember, we're just 'clients' of his.

Country: Canada

Name: Louis St. Laurent

Read all rules: HECK YA!

Do i agree: Yes

Be respectful: YES!

Roleplay as often as possible: Daily

Here is my example:

Uprisings in Canada put an end to British occupation, and Louis St. Laurent declares Canada a part of the U.N [United Nations] and NATO[ North Atlantic Treaty Organization] just in time for the Korean war to start. As the U.S.A sends troops to Korea Canada also sends troops to Europe to help keep Europe safe, and Korea to join the fight. Meanwhile... The USSR attacks the middle east after the terrorist attack on a major oil field which causes NATO to react and stop the USSR and the Warsaw pact.

THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS AND THE START OF WORLD WAR 3:

Just after the Middle Eastern conflict the Soviet Union or the USSR places missiles in Cuba and the Caribbean and forces the USA and NATO to invade Cuba and the Caribbean. This also sparks off WORLD WAR 3, as China invades Indonesia and Japan. Also the USSR attacks Europe and the Middle East once again and attempts to unite Germany into one communist nation. And this issue will end up hurting everyone in the world. Also when does this start and how do we know it started plz let me know.

I find it hard to think China and the USSR would be allies if WWIII occurred especially after Stalin died.

So what if they went to war or they had good enough relations to side together like they do now in days.
