Intro:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The year is roughly 3000 AD, everyone stopped counting after the world turned into a fireball. It's been 300 years since The Flash and the radiation levels have gone done drastically, and life is plentiful. Sadly by plentiful I mean horrifically mutated. Your people have been a nomadic tribe, and the population dwindling. After a series of raids by gangers, and a series of ambushes by the terrifying wildlife, you and your people realize that this cannot continue. Having found a location that looks like it could be settled you and your tribe start elections for leader due to the recent passing of the tribe elders. It is a tie between you and 3 others, and so the people decide that for 30 moons you 4 will lead your people and depending on what happens, a leader or leaders will be elected.

Elections:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Every 30 days a player, npc, or a mix of both are elected by tribe members to lead. Depending on your success you can change the type of government if you remain in power. If you are not in a leader ship role, don't worry, you can still have a major impact in the game. For example if you are not elected you could start a mercenary company, try to lead a coup, or go on an adventure to bring goodies back to the tribe. In fact non leader player characters will be important to the development of the tribe.

General Info:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I will be using a d6 to determine actions. I will update once every 1-3 days. Your goal in general is to advance your tribe by any means necessary. There are many different ways to lead your tribe to glory, and sometimes the different ways may conflict with each other. Player vs player intrigue and even outright combat is encouraged. This is based off of a world that I have been building for many years, so I won't be making up factions and plot on the go. Every member has to eat and drink 1 food and 1 water unit a day, or suffer morale hits up until day 3, where they will die if they have not had water. If a member has access to water but not food for three days, he or she will be unable to work, but will remain alive. Each turn is one day, and each player character can commit to 4 different actions a day. Minuscule actions do not count as your 4 action limit (Drinking or eating, talking, going to a location in your base).

I think your tribe idea and mine work well together because there would inevitably be more fighters than scientists so it would always be like that with my cast system.

However what we face now is not an opposing tribe, but guerrilla warfare. My tacticians and I will come up with a plan against this, and dominate them all! Just for those who do not know me, and for any that don't you must have been hiding in a hole or something, I've been inside the army for 10 years, I've been leading it for 2. Under my leadership, we have destroy two tribes, and many has fled in horror! True, diplomacy may not be my strong point, but I will treat any friends of our tribe with utmost respect. There is no point in fighting among friends.

Prefered Start Location: Mongolia, We must start where the group expansionists were!

Tribe Background: A army based tribe, where people work for the army. Everyone not in the army supports the army with their crops. Of course, the people who fight well, and support the army well get bonuses!


I just realized that I am one too late, may I just be the leader of the armed forces, and not necessarily be on the election ballot this turn?

[Patrick Hunt]

(( Kinda hard dude, leader of the army is a massively important job with huge power. ))

[jakeread1]

Superblackcat I'm going to make you a military general, you should follow the leaders orders, but you will be the one leading troops (there can be more then one general, and if you want you can go rogue and ignore their orders. Just remember that there will be consequences if you do.).

You'll be starting on the Rhine River, which is essentially the border of Switzerland and Germany. For the tribe background, due to lack of consensus, I will make a mix of them all. The tribe uses a caste system, the children are taught by their fathers and mothers, and they choose which parent to follow once they reach the age of 15. The tribe has 30 warriors, 10 engineers, 10 scientists, 20 scavengers, 10 scouts, 10 doctors, 5 military trainers, 5 military leaders.

The first turn will be up before the day is over, hopefully.

[jakeread1]

Turn 001: Choices

Alright, make sure you all come to a consensus on this, and be sure to talk it out in character.

Elections

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After great losses, the tribe has finished their elections. The first to be elected was Davidson, the elders foretold that if he were to survive his plight, he could lead the tribe to glory. The second to be elected was Roger, even though he was cowardly his skill as a scout is undeniable. The third to be elected was Harvey, his skill as a warrior and his want of security for the tribe outweighed his womanizing ways. The last to be elected was Cpt. Reio, the choice was obvious, due to his commanding and determined attitude, and skill at leadership, the tribe voted him in without a doubt. The military commander remained the same, due to the last requests of the elders, but in 30 moons Jarken, and all leaders, would either be re-elected or lose his position.

Potential Settlements

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After the attack by the Fallen, when the elders were dying. They foretold of a permanent home, somewhere near the end of Great Path 33. After a dangerous trek, you arrived in a ruined city, and your scouts find two places that could be your salvation. The first was the old island of Reichenau, an island with an old stone building, and many growing lands, with a small town in ruin, and a bridge being the only entrance and exit onto the island. The second was the island of Mainau, which contained many plants and a gigantic building, a few smaller buildings, and, to your scout’s surprise, cars that float on water!

Sadly, the islands are already taken. Reichenau has been taken by a crazy cult called The New Abbey, who wish to cleanse the land of heretics (you). Mainau has been taken by The Teutonic Knights, a crazy militia who wish to reestablish a brotherhood of the old world. The elders said, to survive you would have to fight.

You could try and live in the ruins in between the two islands, but they are overrun by the fallen, still if you did manage to take an area of the ruins, who knows what you would find.

OOC

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Just to let you know, I'm using real life locations, so if you would like to be able to visualize the situation better; search Konstanz on a map software or Reichnau and Mainau. Just remember that this takes place about 1000 years later. Also the Fallen are essentially heavily mutated zombies.

[The Froggy Ninja]

I say temporarily take the ruins and then after we're stronger we should take Mainau as it has more resources for development of technology and weapons.

[darkpaladin109]

I agree with Davidson. But for now, we should scout the ruins for signs of life or anything useful. Threats should be identified and prepared for. We should also try to find buildings that previously held food or weapons, and search them later.

[Patrick Hunt]

" I'm happy to take some of the warriors in to see if anything is in there and deal with it. We can't risk the women until we know it's secure."

[Superblackcat]

"As a general, I say we blockade the only way off Reichenau, of course, before we do that, We need to send in scouts to see how much food them have. Say, Roger, could you do that?"

[Patrick Hunt]

" Before we decide to send scouts into a perfect spot for an ambush warriors should ensure it's safe. Or at least some of us should join the scout. I'll take 1/3 of the men along if enemies are present we need to hit them hard and fast. "
