Co-operative Missions

[Ru the Boatswain]

The only flaw/worry I see is that there'll be so many people involved.

We could always do a multi-chapter thread? Where parts are done and then we cycle in new guys for a different part of the battle? It will allow more users to enter and possibly less confusion.

 

[Kaeb]

Don't worry about that, I have all that figured out.

It takes place at Nar Shadda, the beginnings of the Ecuminopolis. The Ships the Hutt Empire intend to provide the Bogan are all at a massive shipyard owned by one of the medium level Hutt's in the leadership, it was the most covert place in Hutt Space to plant the ships without arousing much suspicion.

The Bogan and Malgarr are meeting to sign the Treaty of Amon Kara ( The Planet were the Treaty was proposed) this will ensure their cooperation and Malgarr providing the Dark Jedi with troops and ships while he is recieving the high level contacts that allowed Bogan to commit such acts such as the sacking of the Jedi Temple along with giving Malgarr some Dark Jedi of his own to place in his high level operations that are integral to his plans.

The S13 infiltrated the first meetings that were conducted via Holodroids and guard escorts, they found the location of the meeting and have determinend when and where it will take place. They will attempt to asassinate or capture the leadership of both factions. The Jedi are requested to help the Republic in snuffing out the Bogan so they can no longer damage their hopes for their peaceful deomocracy and so the Jedi respond to their request due to the recent attack on their temple.

Thus the epic collision takes place with the outcome yet to be determined.

Kupo a massive amount of the Hutt fleet is going to be there, not to mention the small amount of ships the bogan have and the ones we're providing on the ground of Nar Shadda, I'd say once the S13 realize this they'd ask the Republic to be on stand by.

Of course I'm going to be on stand by. Seeing as how I would be aware of the potential to cripple the Hutt's, my fleets will be poised and ready. There's no question of that, and it wouldn't be a question of waiting to see how strong the hutts were first.

It would just be a case of a numbers game, and the Republic would be willing to commit a lot.

Dare all to win all and that!

Did we end our battle threads, by the by? Were the finishing posts put in?

If you are talking about the Jedi v. Taung battle from earlier, that has been wrapped up.

Before this gets going, I just want to confirm that people will be RPing squads and larger groups instead of just their individual characters. It should be more organized that way, and it's a good official test run for the new rule about that which will be coming out sometime in the near future.

To that end, should faction leaders have to give someone a role before they enter into the battle?

That would've been done regardless.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

Yes, I think we should give rolls, put that up in the OOC section when the threads go up.

 

[Kaeb]

One of my damn college assignments has been reassigned, I'm going to start the thread tommorow instead, I apoligize, this will give us more time to prepare however as this is a pretty large venture to begin with.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

No worries man.

 

[Kaeb]

Thanks for the understanding. Right I need to get an exact number of how many people we're going to have here.

I mean if four factions are going to be in one thread and theres five per faction....you know what I mean?

What's the best way to go about doing this, I'm open to ideas.

I've been using squads for Republican missions (Except for S13 ones) more or less since I became the Faction Leader. I wasn't planning on stopping for this.

I still liked the idea of having multiple threads. Say limit tooo...idk we've got 5 factions per thread, so lets do it this way. We'll figure out who wants to be involved in what goals.

For instance the hutt space fleet's goal would be defense of the planet and themselves so they would be involved obviously more in the space battle.

Then the jedi would be involved more in the ground stuff perhaps, with defeat of the bogan being their main priority. This however would be problematic because of the hutt's and taung there as well, so they may need the help of some of the other ground forces.

Now the hutt council themselves would probably flee trying to get to one of their ships, I don't see malgarr fighting and what not, I could be wrong. So he may take some taung and his men and retreat to his ships. S13 would probably follow them once the jedi got there to deal with the Bogan. From their ships Malgar could do the leading in relative saftey of course.

So the taung, and the republic on the ground would really be the only ones who need to really be divided up. The bogan would marshal his men on the ground against the jedi first and they would follow him thusly. We could NPC in the additional republic troops. (for the jedi) and hutt troops (for the bogan) that would be needed.

Once a thread is done, say the taung drive off the republic. They may rally against the remaining jedi. Or vice versa, with the republic rallying against the remaining taung. Those still wanting to Rp would move themselves over to the thread paraleling themselves as is appropriate.

When those to battles are done, those left would head to their war ships, and aid the fleets in the space battle, unless of course those finish first. Then those in the space battle might drop ship down into one of the threads.


I know it sounds complicated but it's not. It's simply whoever finshes would go to aid the other thread. It would make for a clear victor because those who lose would be unable to help their comrades and what not. Basically it'd be like an assembly line. One parts done, it goes to the next to be added onto that thread.

 

[Kaeb]

I'll start up Act Two tommorow which essentially you and I and what ever representatives we have with us along with S13 and maybe the Republic ....and also the Taung will all be in the same thread signing the treaty and then the thread is pretty much in S13's hands.

That's alot of people though.

 

[Ser Gregor]

Here's how I see it being organized.

The squad that is trying to assassinate the Bogan and Malgaar would be tiny, and it would be the only group that would be RPed by character, not squad. They would be counting on swift force to take out the handful of guards in the immediate vicinity of Malgaar and the Bogan, while simply slipping by the rest.

This force would obviously require S13 and high level Jedi. This would be a group of, I'd say, no more than five men, to keep things from going hectic. The Bogan and Malgaar could each have like two PC guards, and a handfull of other NPC guards.

This would be the Dark Treaty act 2 thread.

Succeed or fail, the Republic will want Nar Shadaa, and so, after the act 2 thread is finished (it wouldn't take long either way, as it would become apparant quickly whether the attempt on their lives was successful), big ass Republic fleet comes in in a wedge formation, with Corvettes filled with troops and ground equipment. The fleet opens massive, concentrated fire on a point earlier scouts (not RPed, for the sake of time), have deemed weak, and break a path for the Corvettes, which land and unload the troops needed to take a budding city-planet (aka a butt****ingload).

This would spawn The Powers Collide threads (ground and space).

Dark Treaty Act 2 would go about like any regular small-scale mission RP, while The Powers Collide (Space and Ground), would use the new battle rules, ie. clear cut roles and group control, instead of character control.

How does that sound?

That's pretty much what I said, but better worded. However I added the stipulation that once a thread is done, those on the ground who won their battle in the thread would move to the other thread to help those who still haven't vanquished their foe.

In the rules I drafted concerning battles, events happening in the two battles directly influence the other.

An example; if the attacking ground forces manage to take an Anti-Orbital Defense Tower, they'd be able to fire it at the defending ships, aiding the attacking fleet.

Inversely, if the defending ships can solidify their flanks, they could power down some ship shields and bombard enemy possitions on the ground. This is overseen by an RP admin or two (or any admin) assigned to both battles, but not participating in either.

Realistically, people don't just leave their possitions once they've secured an area, they defend it. Same deal with these battle threads.

It also keeps participants at a static number, while still providing assistance to the allied force in the other thread.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

Works for me.

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

Ok. Just a note, there will be no real Jedi in the space battle. There will be pretty much all Jedi on the ground.

When should sign up threads start?

 

[Brandon Rhea]

Nexus, how involved in the RPing of the thread are you going to be? Can you be the RP Admin overseeing it, or will that be a conflict of interest for you?
