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).

Role-play Example (At least two paragraphs

--------Breaking News-----------

After the three month long lack of communications from the government

and media inside California Governor Marcus sent out a singal message to

the world. We have it right here on this screen,

Nations of the World. For over three months now, I and my government

have been dark. We have shuttered the media and press for the entierty

of this time for a multitude of reasons. First and formost among these

reasons is war.

While I was away, dealing with personal problems of mine. Mexico and

Texas brutally attacked our country crippling our infrastructure and

economic capibilities beyond the point of return, justified by the

ruling of California as a warmonger. While I will not go into details

about the diplomacy that went on between the former GLA states and

California I will say that its was next to non-existent. Due to this I

closed off our borders and media in the hopes of rebuilding our nation

and stabilizing our Government to the point that is was before the war.

While it was not what it once was I have determined that it is in well enough state to broadcast this message abroad.

So now begins the revolution. With our embassy's being taken for now

reason throughout the world. Undeclared declerations of war flying about

throughout the world, and the first Nuclear payload being unleashed

upon the world. It is with no doubt in my mind that this is true. It is

kill or be killed in this world. The time for peace is far from being

over, United Mexico and its allies took California lands, effectively

cutting our borders in half, but they did not take the most important

aspect of American nature. Our will. They did not destroy the legions

that still protected the eastern coast. They took our homes and family's

away from us with no thought to what it would do and thought that

nothing would come back upon them. They thought that our nation was

crippled beyond repair! I am stating now that it is far from crippled,

They once stated that the Red Fist is gaining ground in America, stating

it as if we were a group of terror. While I did not agree with that

meaning the first time, now I accept it.

Mexico I am coming for you. Have made two many mistakes. Turing your

backs on your ally when you said you would help them. Attacking a

defensless nation to satisfiy your lust for power. Well, now you have

truly created the Red Fist. Not a group of Terror on this world. A fist

of anger and hate shared by all americans for what you did to there

homes burns bright in every soldier in the Californian army. Unless our

homes are given back to the Californian people. A fist of anger and hate

will decend upon you all.

My sincerest apologies that is has come to this.

Governor Marcus Aurelius

Role-play Example (At least two paragraphs

It has come to the attention of the Spanish government that Panic! At The Disco is getting ready to become Communist! I do not like this idea, but the Spanish government has accepted the plan. As of now, all rock bands are deemed communist and will be sent to the Soviet Union!

Also in recent news, Portugese sailors have seized the port of Spain, I forget the name, and have dropped significant amounts of Liquor. This is banned in Spain so all of it will be consequently demolished and confiscated. Also, the first Formula 1 race ever will be held at Circuit du Jerez on the 2nd of August, 1952, so I hope you will be there to enjoy!

These 2 paragraphs are crap, sorry. (Am I allowed to curse on here?)

GROWING TENSIONS BETWEEN THE USSR AND USA

written by Thomas Fellep.

The growing tensions between the USSR and USA over ideals of government has become a terrifying cold war, after the years following WWII. As a result, many countries have become wary of the possible war that might even be another world war. Egypt; being one of those countries; has been building a larger army, and navy. The thought of being attacked by a bomb that has the devastating power of 50,000 tons of TNT was just enough for the Egyptian people to prepare for the worst.

Citizens of Cario have become terrified of what to come: "I heard what happened (In Japan*)" Says Aaron Daan, a local business man in Cairo "I don't want them (USA) to do that to us also" so far, Egypt is gathering weapons and is involved with the Soviet Union, some citizens want change, and Maybe one day, It will happen.

*The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by America.
