OOC: Planning for Medinese War
Posted: Sun Apr 15, 2018 11:03 pm
OOC:
Greetings!
Presumably if you’re reading this you’ve read about my RP in Medina, where I’m establishing an empire in the Third-World. If not, you can read up here. This thread shall be for arranging players who wish to partake in the final phase of the conflict, which is due to start later in the week and will be the meat of the RP.
What’s Going On?
So far, I’ve tried to keep relatively quiet about the longer term plans, however here’s how the RP is set to play out:
Phase Four Plans
Once the third stage is initiated, at some point an instigator will begin to increase tensions with Medina, and a war will break out. This will likely be either Dorvik or Talmoria, or both, but could be anyone.
Medina will defend violently, with its allies joining them.
Thus there will be two teams:
It’s worth noting that Dorvik and Kazulia are allies because of the Northern Council, but this could be worked around, potentially. We shall see!
The specifics of how the war would go down will only be semi-planned, but Medina MUST fall eventually, even though the conflict could continue between other nations. Others can enter / exit the war at any point too, of course, though should follow the protocol below as with all.
How Can I Get Involved?
If you want to get involved, there’s a couple ways to do this. You can do this at any point whatsoever. (This also pertains to any unconfirmed nations above!)
Diplomatic Involvement
If you’d like to get involved from a distance and avoid war, you can just post something diplomatic without any prior decision making if you have support from players in your nation. Be sure to post a link in The Medina Courier, linked at the top of this post!
Military Involvement
If you want to involve yourself militarily, you need to;
1. Make an OOC bill. Best if you link to this thread in the description. You’ll need to have 2/3 majority support from the players with seats in your country — not seats! This is true with all major RPs, written into the rules of the game and is usually necessary. Just make sure your nation agrees, basically.
2. Unless your IC laws, precedent, OOC bill or general understanding by players grants your government executive powers, you may want to do an IC bill in which your parties can debate on and vote on allowing your government to intervene. This may not be necessary, but use your judgement — don’t annoy people.
3. Post something on here about your involvement, maybe a link to your bills, and declare which side you’re on! I’ll edit the post and add you to the list.
4. Post something on here if you want to plan anything major. We can adapt how it’s going, but it helps if everyone knows what’s happening so nothing gets eskewed.
5. Link anything important on The Medina Courier.
Third-World Involvement
As above, but skip any bills obviously, since you have complete control of your country.
After the Fall of Medina
Medina will fall at some point: it cannot survive. I shall ensure this happens one way or another whenever it feels right, but the other countries can continue fighting after this happens if you so please. This, however, is none of my business and I shall only be involved until the fall of Medina.
How Long Will All This Take?
With Phase Four beginning at some point between Wednesday 18th April and Friday 20th April, roughly, and the actual war lasting for probably a week or two, the RP should finish up around the end of April. However, this is obviously not exact, and anything could happen, so it could go on for a long while. I will however have to transfer control at some point if this happens, but this is unlikely.
What is reasonably likely is that the two coalitions will continue fighting after the fall of Medina, however this is completely distanced from myself and not in my control and so you shall have to plan that yourselves.

What’s Going On?
So far, I’ve tried to keep relatively quiet about the longer term plans, however here’s how the RP is set to play out:
1. A war with Utembo, ending in a split into South Utembo (protectorate of Medina, Sultan’s brother on throne) and North Utembo (independent). Opposed by Dorvik and Talmoria here, but no major conflict with them. (DONE.)
2. Invasion of (basically anarchist) Tropica, ending in the country turning into a protectorate. Meanwhile, Medina forms alliances. Currently one is formed with Temania, another will possibly be formed with Kazulia. I’m open to any alliances. (DONE.)
3. Likely an invasion of maybe Statrica or some other Third-World nation, possibly once an attempt to put a Perica (you might remember them from a previous RP I did in Statrica, if you read that!) on the throne.
4. This, or another future conflict if people feel this would not cause the war, leads to the Medinese War: this is the main part of the RP which shall be discussed in the next section.
Phase Four Plans
Once the third stage is initiated, at some point an instigator will begin to increase tensions with Medina, and a war will break out. This will likely be either Dorvik or Talmoria, or both, but could be anyone.
Medina will defend violently, with its allies joining them.
Thus there will be two teams:
Medinese Coalition:
Medina*
South Utembo*
Tropica*
Statrica / Other Invaded Nation from Stage Three*
Temania
Anti-Medinese Coalition:
Talmoria, with support from Hawu and Cobura in their forces
Lourenne
New Endralon
Peacekeeping:
Kazulia
* Medinese protectorates, controlled by me. (Tropica is officially controlled by Reddy, so he might do something with it too.)
** As of yet unconfirmed, however likely to involve themselves.
It’s worth noting that Dorvik and Kazulia are allies because of the Northern Council, but this could be worked around, potentially. We shall see!
