Really in the mood for ribs.
Liberation.
The word sounds so noble, so righteous, does it not? Then how does it explain where you are now, sitting in a bunker wondering if an American SEAL team is going to kick in your door and gun you all down. Hell, you weren't even involved until ROB, the rat-bastard, yanked you out of your room, dressed you up and sat you down here while an old VCR player started telling you the situation.
"Hello! So sorry that this was done in a rush, but I didn't want to give you the chance to refuse! You see, I've decided to do a study on terrorism and fundamentalist militarism and I knew you people provide such useful and informative results, so I've put you all in command of a GLA Cell in a world that will be suitably reactive to terrorist activities, and to spice things up there's some heroic figures who could probably dismantle you singlehandedly if you don't prepare for them. If you want to leave, it's simple. Amass a personal fortune in the numbered Swiss bank accounts provided as well as accomplishing any other goals I give you, and you shall return home. I'll even let you keep the Swiss accounts because I'm a nice guy like that."
And with that, the tape comes to an abrupt end, leaving you all looking at each other and wondering what the hell do you do now?
******
Hello and welcome to a cause that is possibly worth fighting for! In the self-interests of ROB, you have been placed in command of a low-level cell of the Global Liberation Army, and in a few hours the main command elements of the GLA are going to either die, betray the cause, or...no, that's it.
But basically, ROB has put you in charge of a cell belonging to an organisation that apart from your standard-issue 'Islamic' jihadist to anti-corporate anarchists, communist guerillas, drug cartels, and slave traffickers. And no amount of rebranding is going to stop people from wanting you all dead.
So what do you do? Getting money may or may not be easy, but what about the other mysterious 'goals' put forward by ROB? What about these 'heroic' individuals who basically sound like your stock-in-trade action movie hero? What else could ROB be doing behind the scenes? You've been in this situation before; sanity is going to be going the window fairly soon, but you had best be ready to withstand whatever bucket of shit was about to be thrown into your face.
This is a game for 2 to 6 players commanding the GLA in a world that is rapidly going to go to shit. Your goal is relatively simple; fulfill whatever ROB sets before you and line your pockets so that you can return home with a fat stack of cash in a numbered Swiss bank account. Money always makes things go better after all.
But there are some changes, as will be explained below.
Timeframes:
Now, all turns take place within one week intervals. It's a modern world, a lot can happen in just one day, let alone a week. This of course means that research and production has been drastically changed.
Roles within the GLA:
Things have changed. It's not the usual list of actions taken by all players now. Now, there are roles.
This is the list of all standard actions that people familiar with me might know.
-Social
-Military
-Research
-Design
-Production
-Covert
Well, that all changes now.
GLA Cell Commander:
This is the Boss, the guy in charge of everything. As such, the Cell Commander has their finger in every pie, and is the only individual who uses the full, standard list of actions above.
GLA Propaganda Master:
This guy is responsible for diplomacy and communicating with allies inside and outside the fractious GLA, meaning they can't waste time commanding forces in the field or engaging in spycraft.
GLA Operations Officer:
The Operations Officer is the best person for coordinating the unruly mob that is the GLA's military might, and as such they don't have time for social niceties or poring over research data.
GLA Chief Researcher:
The Chief Researcher has too much work to do in order to research better tech and design better units! Too much work! TOO MUCH!
GLA Procurement Officer:
The GLA needs guns, tanks, men, food, money, drugs, guns, chemical weapons and did we mention guns?
GLA Spymaster:
Someone needs to make sure that your Cell delivers its operatives where they need to go and get information back to the rest of the council.
Joining the game:
Without the concerns for race and borders that other factions have, the GLA is open to any ethnicity, any religion, any way of life, all to beat back the forces of neo-imperialism and oppression by way of the gun and money! All you have to do is rather simple!
User Name: What is your SV Name?
Alias: What will you be known by to the world at large should they discover your identity?
In-Character Quote: Make it memorable!
Physical Description: Photos must be SPOILERED to cut down on size issues.
Goal after surviving: What do you intend to do with the money?
Preferred Role: What do you want to do?
Preferred Region: Pick either Eastern Europe, Africa, or South America.
Spelling and punctuation counts! I want be able to READ your posts after all!
Code Of Conduct For the Game and OOC Threads:
1: You are playing the GLA, not ISIS or Al-Qaeda or whoever else. You are not going to be allying with such, not that I expect you would if given the chance.
2: Only someone too stupid to miss the difference between real-life and fantasy would flame the players or other posters here. Don't be that fucking stupid.
3: No politics. If you bring politics into this game, you are a retard who needs better hobbies. Also you will be kicked out.
4: No religion. I don't give a shit if you worship Allah or Dagon, don't bring your religion in here because it's going to be satirized pretty badly anyway.
5: White Knight all you want, just don't bitch to me when the rest of the world still comes down on you like a pile of bricks.
