NES - A Return To Our Roots

[Toasty]

Introdruction

Over time, the NES has left its beginnings as a story into a more board game fashion. Well, I want to make this prospect a story again. When a person takes a nation, they must not only engage in international relations, make war, etc., but also provide a story for the internal happenings of their nations.

In order for this to maintain as a story, and not just back-and-forth glorious victories as it turned out, battles will work a little differently. Each is expected to be fully and richly detailed, however, by a neutral noncombatant nation. This will be the first one to step up to the plate. By the end of the year (1 day in the real world) each nation must supply orders, such as military expansion, economic expansion, etc., along with any military engagements they might pursue. Should a writer choose to give a battle story and decision, they will post it first, because they take a while to write out. These are the only two rules.

Country characteristics are to be thought of while creating a story, or while a writer is describing a battle.

All information will be posted on the timeline, and this will include updates from the mini-stories in each nation, as well as the battles and expansion.

This is set in the year 2002.

Map

Timeline:

2002 - Egypt begins civilian nuclear technology development, but Great Britain and America claim otherwise. In retaliation, Egypt halves its oil exports to America. In further retaliation, America and Great Britain declare and embarge of Egypt. Military spendings by America on Israel are cut. Italy signs MPPs with America and Great Britain, but after the killing of the Italian parliament and the invasion of Switzerland, these ties are nulled and relations are broken. Russia plans to invade Khazakstan, and under mobilization for war declares "National Crisis" and socializes the Russian industry. The invasion is, as predicted, a smashing success. Peace between Italy and the other nations is reached after a withdrawl from Switzerland. Israel begins a covert and military mission against Egypt.

2003 - Isreal invades across the Egyptian border and takes much of Sinai, but is still a fair distance from the Suez canal. Terrorist activities erupt as a bombing of the party in Rome, and the sinking of an American fleet in the Mediterranean Sea occur close together. Emperor Anders Scotterson thought to be dead but is in fact alive and kicking. Russia's economy improves due to Khazak annexation. Great Britain and America openly prepare for war against Iraq to help the Kurdish resistance. Secret police in Italy begin to eliminate political dissidents in cooperation with America to extinguish terrorism by and large.

2004 - Israel destroys the Cairo nuclear power plant, leveling two-thirds of the city. Following an indication that Israel was committing terrorist acts by this and her planned launch of cruise missiles to Memphis by the new Iranian head of state, Ayatollah Pezhman, Iran and the United States force Israel to open into peace negotiations. Iran contacts France about possible strong friendship ties. British submarines intercept the submarine wolfpack that sunk several American carriers and sink one submarine. There are no survivors, but an intercepted SOS transmission suggests the subs are of Italian nationality. America begins massive fleet expansion.

2005 - Iraq commits terrorist acts against the now-demolished Eiffel tower, London, and several other major coalition cities as they have begun an invasion of it. The explosion in Cairo is revealed to have been caused not by the destruction of a civilian nuclear power plant, but in fact the destruction of several nuclear warheads. As a result, Italy declares war on both Egypt and Israel.

 

[Jason The King]

All right, Toasty, back to the begining. I remember I was the last one to join the first NES, then it died. How many people still are playing who played in the first?

Anyways, I want America.

 

[uknemesis]

I'll take Britain then(damn you Jason lol).

Nemesis

 

[uknemesis]

Prime Minister Justin Daniels(some of you may recognise him from the Dangerous Games stories lol) strolled into his new office.

It was in his new house too.

Number 10, Downing Street.

Just the name brought a chill to his spine, terrifying him with the power of his position.

He gathered his papers, and began to head for the door, knowing that he would have little time to read through his speech on the way to Parliament.

 

[Jason The King]

The ocean waves lapped against the huge aircraft carrier. This new, and highly advanced carrier was the first of many to come to the U.S. navy, which was undergoing a huge redevelopment. President William was on board, and was recalling the navy days of his life, and how they were exciting with cold-war drills and what-not. Pushing the screen door open, he walked out onto the deck of the control tower, high above the sea. On board this carrier were 100 (what is logical?) brand new British-design Harrier Jets. The lack of a run-way gave for more room of jets capable of rising and landing without having a run-way. The President watched the proud American soldiers swap the deck of the carrier, and was at heart sunk for the news they would be getting...


Also, Toasty, do we send orders to you? If we do, what will you do with them? To fight, do we say that we attack on the thread, then someone takes it and makes a story and then decides the outcome?

 

[Toasty]

President Prugl Sbrozlaus has been recently sworn in as the new leader of the Russian nation. Around him so many things faulted, the population came to unrest and came to resent him.

Not only that, but not a single one of his advisors could spell his damned name right.

To make matters worse, his economic advisor, whom he would be so heavily relying on, spoke only in Ukrainian. A case of ethnic minorities here, as his party forced him to accept this pitiful excuse for slop.

A scheduled meeting with the cupboard was about to commence, on live TV, in his first national appearance as president.

Not like anyone in Russia could afford TVs, anyways.

@Jason: Orders are simply posted at the bottom of the page. Because this is a story, no real harm done in having your orders shown, eh?

 

[Jason The King]

Upon arriving back at the White House, the president was horded into the Oval office by media and White House Personel.

Sitting at the wooden desk, His eyes glared at the camera-man who was continually counting down from five. This was his first live appearance to the American people, and he was as nervouse as hell. He shuffled his papers on the desk for reassurance, and as the fingers reached one, he released the papers onto the desk.

"My American people, I am confronting you on a very frightful manner. American spies have reported to me the development of nuclear arsonals being developed in the nation of Egypt, and that they will be aimed at the United States if action does not happen. Why the nuclear arsonals will be pointed at the U.S. is unknown right now (a lie), as soon as information is available it will be given to the press. To counter this research, a series of diplomatic procedures will begin, and if they fail, military campaigns. So I leave you now to begin these operations, and want to remind you that your government is strong, and will prevail, and for you to remain your normal lives."

"And we're off," the camera-man replied. Before the President could rise from his seat, the press stormed in.

 

[EQandcivfanatic]

Very good Toasty. Seems to be the proper mix of story and boardgame. The problem with the original was that people could easily put in rediculus things like time machines.

I guess i will take the Italians as it's friendly prime minister, a former American resident who gained power by rigging the elections, Anders Scotterson. If no one minds i will "play" this by doing my favorite story telling in the form of news casts.

--------------

As it is very late and i am tired i will just my orders. Military: Send 20 Armored divisions to the French border. Position the navy off the coast of Eygpt. Send 5 armored divisions to the Swiss border supported by 10 infanrty divisions. The air force is to remain in defensive postions of all borders. Econimic: Raise taxes to support larger military.

I hope this NES is destined for a better fate than my ruleless one or the orginal one.

 

[Jason The King]

"Mary, please record what I am going to say then send it to Italy's prime minister. "

Dear Sir of Italy,

I have an offer to make with you. If you will allow me some military bases on Sicily, I will in exchange pay you 10 million dollars a base.

-United States of America

Orders
Military: Send 2 aircraft carrier equipped with Harriers to the Medditteranien to be stationed off the coast of Egypt. Begin war-time mobilization of armed forces. Send, with the carriers, 50 destroyers and 5 battleships, with 50 cruisers. Stay on guard for a naval blockade.

Economically: Begin mass war-time production of arms, tanks, ships, and jets. Expand into minning metals. Lower taxes slightly to cope with the people's dismay about the Egypt-situation.

 

[EQandcivfanatic]

To President of the United States: We would be delighted to have your military bases hosted on our nation, We will also supply our finest workers and troops to help assist in the construction of your bases. It would be nice to have some other Americans here. Our navy will give you full protection for any transport you may require. However, we will not assist whatsoever in a fight against Eygpt unless you give us 5 ICBMs to protect us against rogue nations like Eygpt.

Signed,

Anders Scotterson, Prime Minister of Italy

To Prime Minister of Britian: With the increasing tensions in the Middle East it would be wise of us to sign an alliance to protect both of our nations from the agression of other nations. In exchange for this alliance, we will allow the Britih navy unlimited access to Italian ports and the Mediteranian. Also I will throw in fine sauces made from the bests chefs in all of Italy.

Signed,

Anders Scotterson, Prime Minister of Italy.

 

[Dexter]

I'll take Germany if you ndon't mind! I've been waitin' for an old-style NES like this to come along again!! Thanks Toasty!!

 

[uknemesis]

Justin Daniels grinned as he walked out of Parliament. The bill had been passed! Britain was finally going to have a military which could actually defend her! It didn't expand the armed forces much, he knew, but he didn't really mind keeping it the same size, it was mainly that it upgraded the technology, which had been keeping Britain back for so many years.

He glanced once more at the booklet:

and smiled, knowing that Britain was safe.

Oh, and don't worry, I'm not going to post that every turn, just the deployments, that's just for people to get to know Britain .

TO AMERICA

Count us in to help you against Egypt, ally. We hope you will see this as Britain's continuing support for you in the coming years.

TO ITALY
FROM BRITAIN

We have had our troubles in the past, but we agree to the alliance in the hope of future peace.

 

[EQandcivfanatic]

Inside of the Conceil house of Rome the members were gathered to confront the Prime Minister about his unautorized deployment of military and his alliances with America and Britain.

Finally after waiting a hour for him to show up the Prime Minister walked in with four guards armed with machine guns. The representative of Sicily rose and said, "Prime Minister, it is an outrage that you agreed to let the Americans send millions of troops to Sicily. We demand that you contact the American president and repeal the alliances with the British and Americans." "I am afraid that i no longer have to comply with your requests," said the prime Minister. "You are no longer part of this government." At that the guards proceeded to open fire upon the ministers gathered there.

-----------

This is Channel 6 Rome news reporting live to you from the Palace of Rome.

The Prime Minister just arrived out on the platform to give a speech on the recent demise of the conciel of Rome in a terrorist attack upon the Conceil.

"People of Italy, We have too long been under the corrupted influence of the Mafia and their pawns, the conciel members. The only way to survive as a nation in these tough times is to form a government consisting of a single ruler. Rome was once a great Empire stretching across Europe, under my leadership we will be so once again."

"With that stirring speech made by the Emporer, we now take you back to the main station."

-------------

Production: Massicve conscription of men above 18 is to begin in all Italian cites. Production of armor is what is ordered of all factories in Italy.

Orders: 20 Infantry divisions and 15 Armored divisions are to invade Switzerland. The navy is ordered to begin sorties against the Eygptian cities and navy. The airforce is to give all American and British fleets air cover while moving through the mediteranian. 10 air force squadrons are to provide air support with the invasion of Switzerland.

TO: Germany
From: Italy

We request support for our campeign against the banker nation of Switzerland. In exchange for your cooperation we will happily give your banker firms half of the loot gathered from the banks of Switzerland. Along with that we will provide you with designs to a new all terrain mountain tank.

 

[IceEye]

Can I join as Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland?

 

[AnarchyRulz]

I will join as Israel..

Prime Minister Chris stepped into his office. He had a press conference in a few hours. He was about to debut his plan to stop terrorism in the middle east.

"My entire term depends on the conference." thought Chris

"Sir, please come to the briefing room, their has been another attack."

To be continued..

 

[Jason The King]

America was in awe of what had just happened in Europe. The president was again ushered in the Oval Office, to give the speach all American were waiting for, and that begun with:

"My fellow Americans, great tragety has begun in Europe again. Italy, an ally of America, has struck a neighbor country, Switzerland, in a bold and daring attack.

I propose a massive reqruitment of all eligible men above 18 years old, to protect America and her allies. While no war has begun between America and Italy, we are weary of this massive new change in Rome.

American will continue to support her ally, and, but does expect an excuse soon."


Italy,

Have you gone mad? Causing war for no cause? Or is there? I expect a whole reason by next Friday. Also, America does not barter and trade with her nuclear arms.

Britain,

I am glad to see that our nations still hold the closest of ties. I would like you to know you have the full American support regarding an Italian attack. You may share our bases on Sicily with your troops, but beed more is your naval superiority and air support, more then actual men.

(PLEASE IGNORE MY ORDERS ABOVE, THEY ARE UNREASONABLE)

Orders:

[uknemesis]

[OOC- lol, we have to trust someone about nuclear weapons whose name is Obsessed Nuker ]

TO ITALY
FROM BRITAIN

We find your actions appalling, as a democracy and a free nation. Consider our short lived MPP null and void - you seem to have shown your true colours to be the same as Mussolini.

TO EGYPT
FROM BRITAIN

Sorry friend for the misunderstanding. I am sure America and I will help supply parts for the reactors, but we will only be sending nuclear material that can be used for reactors, not weapons(see the Iran thread in the OT forum, apparently there's a difference lol).

TO AMERICA
FROM BRITAIN

Consider the alliance stronger than ever, friend. We are glad that you have decided to purchase Harriers for your carriers(damn, I'm a poet lol), but I fail to see why, as your F-14s are superior. The only advantage of the Harrier3 is the VTOL and superior manoeuvrability(doesn't look right, but Word says it is lol).

Anyway, your great supercarriers can carry 60 F-16s if my memory from my days in the Navy is right. So you're sending understrength carriers(total I think is 60 F-14s + 15 support aircraft and 5 copters, check the US Navy homepage, those websites are coming in handy for me lol).

As for British support, you can count on naval, air and land help.

TO ISRAEL
FROM BRITAIN

We wish to sign a MPP with you, to create a tri-alliance between our nations and America.

TO IRAQ
FROM BRITAIN

Once this new Roman "Empire" has been stopped, consider yourself next on the list.

 

[uknemesis]

One last thing...

TO AMERICA
FROM BRITAIN

We wish to buy some of your F-22s to replace our aging F-15s, as you are doing, and to buy a number of your old A10 tank busters, as we have found that these can be deadly alongside our Harriers when supporting our infantry.

Finally, we would like to buy AEGIS radar systems from you, for as you can see the British Navy is being updated with them.
