Re: Operation: Red Alert (OOC Thread)


I am so utterly lost in this RP that I still don't understand it. I am sorry, Proton, or I would join. RTS + RP are a strange idea for me. Hell RTS is a difficult game for me, as it is. You are wanting me to take control of an army and make them move too? That is way out of scope of how I can RP. Sorry.

Re: Operation: Red Alert (OOC Thread)


RTS is a scary term, what it essentially means is that you take part in the war. Proton/Alan takes your actions into account and how they influence the battle.

For example, let's take the battle in Europe. One of my characters, Fatal Friction, entered the battle on the side of the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) allies with his mercenary group, the Street Freaks. The presence of a powerful meta-human and his allies gave the NATO offensive a huge boost. As a result, NATO won the battle and could advance into Soviet territory.

That wasn't my goal. Fatal Friction isn't a mastermind, plotting to use his mercenaries to topple a Communist government and orchestrate the war. He's a warrior. He dove into a fight and damned the consequences.

You don't have to plot out every move. Proton's not waiting for a "wrong" move so that he can kill your character off. Just pick a place to go, type out what your alternate!hero/villian would do in the situation, and let the chips fall where they may.

Re: Operation: Red Alert (OOC Thread)


So say, Power Girl took led a team of spec ops into a battle. I would just RP the battle and I don't have to say what the RTS side of it is? Does Proton post that?

That is what I mean. I can RP fine, a battle is awesome, hell I do that all the time. But the map scared me.

Also, which side should I be on?

Re: Operation: Red Alert (OOC Thread)


Yeah, you just RP like you usually do. Proton will tell you what the result is.

And earlier in the thread, Proton indicated that the Justice League and the Justice Society are both on the side of the NATO countries (USA, UK, France, Belgium, etc.). They aren't "soldiers" per se, especially if they stick to the "no killing" rule, but they can help save civilians in harm's way, or assist the military as conscientious objectors (help transport the sick or pinned down troops, disarm enemy soldiers, etc.).

So Supergirl and Power Girl, for example, would fight for NATO against the Communist countries like the Soviet Union. Gunner Kat and Chaos Empress could join either side, but I'd imagine Kat would be a mercenary for NATO.

Re: Operation: Red Alert (OOC Thread)


Supergirl should join the Soviet Union.

"RED" Daughter of Krypton. :P (if you get the alternate universe naming thing. Story arc.)

Other than some naming nonsense... *cough*

Everything Frumentar said. :P

The map is just an "aftermath" or a "post-result" of what has happened due to a certain action or if an army has moved in. Just RP as usual as yourself and you'll be fine.

You don't have to command any soldier. You could go Solo. Also, to reiterate the OP of the OOC thread, you DON'T have to be a soldier or a mercenary or a spec-ops person or do... soldier-ish stuff. You could be a civilian in occupied territory or the migration to the Eastern states for safety.

I've just launched the "6th Special Combat Purpose" brigades on the United States frontlines. These are *experimental* Soviet super-soldiers with flying capabilities, super strength, and super endurance. For now, this is only limited to Red Oktober's squad in Primm. The other units will be somewhere else in the frontlines where "Operation Red Alert" will take place.
