So I had yet another idea for an RP. Furries based during WW2 on European/Japanese battle fields OR modern day warefare in the middle east? Anyone can belong to either side of the fighting and at any rank (SAS, USMC, Wehrmacht, Taliban, etc.). For this RP I don't think special "abilities" will be allowed unless someone can convince me otherwise BUT under NO circumstances will I allow magic. I know this sounds real brief and not thought out entirely but at this point I wondering if anyone's interested enough for me to bother with it. I just want to know if you guys are interested in joining or have any suggestions/comments/questions.

Sounds like fun, having an RP in a realistic (and possibly modern) setting would be a nice change of pace, I would gladly participate (SAS Bunny ^_^)
-
Ok cool, thats one for modern warefare. I think we can also do the Soviet Russia thing too. Hey, even vietnam? ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh. me personally, WWII. I'm just a fan of that battle syle. :P

I cast my vote for WW2
Wehrmacht Sniper (they liked to train snipers, what can I say?)
-
You know what, I'm up for a WWII RP aswell
-
Though the idea is good in my eyes, I'd have to decline on joining this one.
-
Alright maybe next time, Vosur.
So WWII it is then. I'll get on the story and what not. I'll probably be with the Wehrmacht on this one too. I'll make the character sheets. In the meantime, I'd like to know if any of you are okay with starting off at boot camp. Let me know.
-
...sure, I guess I could start at boot camp
<--- does this innocent face look like a war veteran to you? ^_^

actually yes
the quiet innocent ones get ya the most
-
Personally I would prefer WWI but then you cant have everything. I would like to see the story before I state any sort of commitment.
-
WW2? YAY!!! ^_^
awesome, havnt seen this kinda setting for a rp before... count me in!
((slovakian tank commander here :3 ))
but yes, we need to get a story in line here... we could actually modify real life history from world war 2 with some tweaks n stuff to make more playable?
also, what nationalities would you be able to play as?
((random questions ))
-
Also, we have to keep in mind that with a WORLD WAR and lots of countries fighting with individual but massive armies, character interaction between players actually seems quite unlikely. We need a story that will throw the characters into the same situation, whether thay are on the same side or against each other. But somehow, in this war on a global scale, the characters need to meet. It is a puzzling conundrum.
-
I dont think we need to alter history at all... we can add some things to accomodate people from different armies coming across eachother in a non-aggressive fashion but we dont need to change what's already there. You know what, I would love to be Goebbels. The guy was a nutjob, but he could make some brilliant films. Plus, an insane crippled evil dude is fun.
-
we dont need to change much... however, we need people to be able to meet unhostily, as Asia said, and we also need to encompass the vastness of the war.... maybe if we use a world/europe map? could help?
-
it would have to be a world map, because the majority of French and British soldiers were not european, and many many battles were fought outside of europe.
-
actually... an idea im just gonna throw out here i just thought of... two sides on this ww2 style rp? the allies and the axis.... that would mean mixed bootcamps? and so we could have people from different nations, but in the same allied bootcamp for instance? so basicaclly ww2, but with a slight twist so that we can have some more sociable parts during the rp? i dunno, just an idea that came to me... ^_^

So far (for the plot) I have Nazi Germany having taken control of Europe. It's 1944 and all historical aspects of that time have and are taking place. The story is, Nazi Germany has taken control of Soviet Russia and is now planning to enter North America. A group of the Wehrmacht along with some others from another army (whether they be french, British, American) have plans for an assasination attempt on Hitler, not wanting Nazi Germany to take over the entire world based off of what Hitler had been doing with jews, gays, gypsies, POWs, etc. what do you guys think?
The Axis powers (in accordance with the plot) include: Italy, Germany, Hugary, Bulgaria, Japan, Vietnam, Slovakia, Serbia, France, Soviet Russia and Spain.
The Allies (in accordance with plot) include: America, Canada, UK, Austrailia, New Zealand, Poland, and China.
-
I'm pretty sure the Nazi's didnt conquer Russia. They were beaten back in one of the most epic and brutal counterattacks I've ever heard of.
And as for the story, We're basically gonna do one of the hitler assassination attempts?
-
I'm aware of that. I've changed history so there's a real plot and so we can fit everyone together.
And yes, we will try to kill Hitler...and succeed.
-

will there be players opposing the assassination attempts due to being in an army of an opposing nation?
-

Ah, well that sucks. Having it so that we/you are most assuredly going to kill Adolf Hitler makes it one sided for the Allies.
-
I think it would be hard to incorporate a Hitler asssassination attempt into the story if you also want a character or two to start in boot camp. Personally, in this alternate timeline, it would make sense if after the whole boot-camp phase and training and getting ready, etc. the Nazis make their first push into the US - thus it would make some sense that all the characters ended up in the same skirmish.
Hence it would be possible to get the whole WWII feel and it wouldn't be one-sided for the Allies (of course, the atom bombs would still be in production and the Nazis would be in a hurry to take down the US before they can finish producing their first nuclear weapons.)
Thus, despite their new resources from conquering the Soviet Union, they won't be able to bring their full force to bear as the command would be rushing the campaign.
That looks even enough to me, anyone else want to add to that?
-
Not necessarily. Once the soviets are crushed, they wouldnt rush to america. They would focus on Britain first and foremost because they are still a massive problem for the Nazis. Only afterwards do they get over the atlantic. That'll probably be around the time that the US is counterattacking Japan, so both sides are rather stretched.
-
Then the joint battleground could be Britain. With Germany still trying to clean up resistance in the Soviet Union (of which there would be A LOT), they wouldn't be able to focus their forces on Britain, but neither would the allies because of the concurrent fight with Japan. Hence we get relatively even fights.
-
Ok...so we're not killing hitler or maybe we will, I don't know. It's up to you guys in the RP. If the assasination attempt(s) fail, then the Germans will make their way into the states leaving an even bigger plot possibly. If you guys succeed, then order is restored...hmm.
And yes, we will try to kill Hitler...and succeed.
Ah, well that sucks. Having it so that we/you are most assuredly going to kill Adolf Hitler makes it one sided for the Allies.
I didn't mean it like that. I only said that because that's what my character plans on doing. If you want to change that up a bit then by all means go ahead. It's anybody's battle even I don't know what will happen. I only laid out a goal for my character (and anyone else who cares to join me on this conquest). You can try to stop me if you'd like, whatever. It's not my story, it's yours too. You play in it, you have a say.
-
cool stuff, and its seems pretty accurate (while keeping it more open for rping)
sooo, i guess we need ta start on character sheets.... great stuff guys, and great idea Spike ^_^
