New age War

[Kambe-sensei]

There are no countries, or villages, really at war. I think that a war should break out between one or more parties. It should just be a sideline type of thing. It could determine new leaders, or effect trade relations between villages. More importantly, it could allow people rping the choice of branching off into a more violent story.

It would not specifically effect anyone who chose not to participate, aside from if your village is at war with another, that other village would be likely more aggresive towards the character.

Hell there could even be a string of hunter nin NPC's to go after characters, if they wanted that in their story of course.

It sounded like a neat idea in my head. I will admit that I don't have anything on paper, but it still sounds at the very least interesting to me.

So you say, actually there is tension between Sand and Leaf. Currently, Sakeme is going to fake his death to enter the city (Sunagakure); allowing time for Aimi to search for clues about the recent events (trying to cause the two nations to turn on each other). Otherwise there will be war.

I’m not keen on having a real happy resolution because it just doesn’t seem right, so I’ll see what happens.

This does seem to be a good idea. War is a big impact in the world and would make the forums a bit more active.

I like the idea that a war would open up different avenues of rping for the different characters. Maybe if a thread could be made in one of the villages or something that would act as the main thread for rping in the war....you know, something of the sort. That and it could bring about nice possibilities for the teams that are hanging around waiting for missions and such.

[lightfromhell1]

Though it would be interesting it has to have some major facts about it.


Why is there a war?
Who is involved?
How did this develop?
Where is the main battlefield?
What is being done by each side?

It is by no means a easy task to coordinate a war like this would be, but it is interesting to see how this would play through.

[cain]

I agree. So who exactly would this not so easy task be left to? Surely not just one person? A thread or something could be made, giving the positions and what each one involves, and then have people come sign up for it. By positions I mean the different jobs involved to make a war like this one.

[lightfromhell1]

It would ultimately belong to Kage, then she might divide the different things required to mods.

[Michael-sama]

I am surely mocked. These questions are easily answered.

Shin Akatsuki, with a few others involved, created a situation which made it appear Konoha ninjas killed a Suna ninja. Konohagakure no Sato is currently under the influence of Shin Akatsuki’s leader, Master; Master stirred up this false situation to create tension to lead to war in order to leave both countries to over stretch their forces. The Master’s control also reaches other nations including Sunagakure no Sato.

Sakeme, a vet for sabotage and interrogation, and Aimi, a green Suna ninja, both are investigating a disturbance near Sunagakure. After being attacked and then later demanded Sakeme’s body to resolve the matter, Sakeme continued to find out the truth.

I’ll write more later. Busy right now.

Actually, I don't like this idea much. Maybe in an alternative universe or something. Like Ichiraku, and under there something like War or Battle-zone.

I think it would be too difficult to incorporate a war scenario in the current situation. Everyone's basically following their own paths and 90% of the shinobi are from Konoha anyway.

That either means we're going to have to make a bunch of characters(playable or NPC), or every confrontation would be like: "they were ambushed by a group of Suna-nin" "several Ame-nin were guarding the entrance".

But if we make it an alternate universe, we could make a list of all the characters that want to join, disregard their villages and divide them over 2, 3 or 4 factions. It could be something like Shin-Akatsuki gathered all the tailed beasts, unleashed a massive wave of destruction, wiping every hidden village off the face of the earth(including the leaders). Now the survivors join different groups to take control of what remains of their world.

[cain]

Oh oh, I like that. But if you put it that way, wouldn't there be characters who try and establish rule over the others by force or other means? Even still, if you put everyone into different factions then it would be most likely that every faction would try and eliminate the others. I think it should be just two sides. A leader could be elected for each side, and they could determine what their side was after. Obviously for there to be a real conflict, the ideas would have to go against each other.

Even if you did it this way, then you would still have two people to elect. Honestly, is there anyone out there that wants to put themselves under the stress that this would surely cause. The people that are elected would have to be willing, and determined to see this through to the end.

[Senjin]

Actually it's not that difficult. Their entire world took a major blow and all the leaders are gone. That means that someone has to clean up the mess and rebuild the place. Of course, everyone has their own opinion on how that should be done, and of course not everyone will agree with one another. So there you have a motive to create different factions(2 or more) and a reason they could be fighting.

If I understand correctly, the goal of this topic is to create a more violent situation and basically let everyone fight until their hearts are content. To apply a metaphor: The regular topics are the campaign-mode for Nindo, whereas this would be the multiplayer-mode(yes, using an MMORPG-metaphor would be more appropriate, but I don't play those games much so I don't know much about that ).

[cain]

I understand what you are saying Senjin-san, what I was really trying to get at, and point out, is this. Is there anyone out there, more specifically the older members, that would be willing to take on the responsibility of being the mods, or leaders, for their side or faction?

Yes you could just have a NPC leader, but what fun is that. But if you have a PC, then people will always be trying to take you down. Put that together with having to more or less run their faction, and you have a very busy, if not over-worked, person.

I'm not saying that it can't be done, I am just saying that it would be tough on the ones in charge.

[lightfromhell1]

Personally with the character I'm trying to get approved it would be perfect scenario for him. I also think it would be fun to play out.

[cain]

As I understand it this war is to be in a seperate universe. In effect, LFH, you and everyone else could use what ever character they wanted so long as the character is approved. It won't matter what characters there are, because in rping in the separate universe those character have broken off from their current stories. The current stories could still run, you just wouldn't be able to mix the two.

On a better note, I propose that a thread in the Construction Zone should be made for this war. It would be a better place to begin it anyway. Once the thread is made, then people could begin to sign up for participation. After that the respective leaders could be chosen, and after that the leaders make the ideals and goals of their side or faction. Once this is all done then people can chose a side or faction, then the war would start.

Just a thought, but I think it would work.

[Senjin]

Well, I wouldn't mind leading a faction. Heck, I think I have enough characters to form my own faction ;D

Would be interesting to see my characters face off against each other though.

But before this can take any real form, we'll have to wait for Kage's approval.
