God Save the Queen [EX for awesome headsplosions]

[GloomCookie]

In 1777, one year after the Declaration of Independence, the Revolutionary Army engaged the British Army at Saratoga, New York.  General John Burgoyne led his forces to capture Fort Ticonderoga, taking the fort and establishing a defensive position against the Americans.  The Americans sent 8,000 men against the captured fort, led by General Horatio Gates, but were repelled.  The defeat prompted the French to begin withdrawing assistance, believing the cause to be hopeless.  By 1778, the war was nearly over, with General Washington surrendering near Philadelphia in the spring of that year.

Fast forwarding to today, the British Empire remains the largest superpower in the world.  Most British forces are engaged in operations around the world, mostly in the Middle East and in pacification efforts in Africa.  Southeast Asia maintains a respectable colony, with the primary British command being in India.  The other two major superpowers are the United Soviet Socialist Republics and the Empire of the Rising Sun.  A brief war in the 1950s resulted in a stalemate between the British and Soviets, with the Japanese remaining neutral.  However, with the Japanese once more pressing into territories claimed by the British, and the Soviets geared up for a rematch, it's only a matter of time before the world is lead to war.

God Save the Queen is an adventure game focusing on British Commandos from Britain or her colonies who are basically given guns and told to kick lots of Soviet and Japanese ass.  While the Russians have lots of men and a huge industrial base the Japanese are cleaver little bastards who just barely edge out the British in the electronic arms race.  Each player will be a commando, one of a team of five.  There will be four slots for the regular players (Explosives, Sniper, Vehicle and Heavy) while the last slot is reserved for the Commander.  How will I pick the commander?  Simple: I'll throw you all into a cage to fight until your nipples fall off and one of you emerges victorious.

Oh bollocks, the insurance just called up and said nipple replacements are a no go.  Damn HMO.  Anyway, I'll pick a commander based on a brief entry post you will be required to submit in order to prove your worth.  This will let me decide who gets let in and who gets to sit at the door barking like a scoundrel mutt until I chase it with a newspaper down the street.  All in all I expect this to be a fun little romp featuring lots and lots of gratuitous violence and perhaps a bucket of boobies.  The birds, not breasts you immature twits.

Oh bloody hell! You've gone and put up another interesting game! Now I have to decide if I have time to join, Bollocks! -goes cross eyed-

[Siegfried]

I'm interested.  I'd like to play the Heavy: walk softly and carry a big stick.  Or guns in this case  XD

[kingOFcalifornication]

Definitely interested in the Sniper position.

[Major Major]

I too find the sniper position intriguing; failing that, demoman.

[RedEve]

I'm intrigued, but I wonder where you seek to take this game long-term? Will it be a series of battles or will there be an overarching plot as well?

[Insight]

I agree with RedEye, will there be a plot?

If so, I call explosives. Sounds like a crafty little guy.

Basically this will be a bit like Bad Company, in that the commandos, while serious, are funny and get yanked into a situation far beyond their pay scale.  I'd like to think of each of them as a little crazy, like a demo expert who likes making things blow up just a bit too much, or a vehicle expert who drives like a madman.  The overall plot will basically take them through the theaters of war trying to stop overwhelming numbers of troops while buried so deep in shit they forgot what the sun looks like.  All in all, I'm looking to have a little fun.  Bring your own rock soundtrack, k?

[RedEve]

What is left? The driver and the heavy weapons expert?

[Siegfried]

I want the heavy!  Rocket launchers!  Chain guns!  Modified combat shotguns!  Oh my! lol

[RedEve]

Well then that leaves me with the driver? Are you boys alright with having a girl behind the wheel? :p

[GloomCookie]

I have yet to see a single character sheet *shakes her finger at you all*

How is this:

Name: Katherina Annys
Team Designation: “Wildcat”
Age: 25
Gender: female
PoB: Wellington, New Zealand
Specialty: Vehicle
Brief Bio: Katherina is a born and raised army brat. Both of her parents were also in the service and met each other soon after being discharged due to injury. Her three older brothers also joined in her parents footsteps so when the time came, there was no doubt on her mind what she wanted to do with her life. Her specialization with a huge number of different vehicles made her a natural pick for re-assignment with the commandos.

Sample Post: Katherina wiped the sweat off her brow as she gazed through her binoculars one more time. By now she had sand in places she didn’t even realized existed and she probably smelled like crap after sweating profusely underneath the violent afternoon sun. Why their superiors always insisted on waging war in the hottest areas of the world was beyond her. For once she’d like to do battle in mild conditions. She small secluded base she had been observing for the past few hours was low on activity. It was basically a series of shacks and one concrete bunker in the middle of nowhere. Twice she had seen men drag prisoners from one of the shacks to the bunker. The prisoner’s heads had been bagged, which had prevented a positive ID of the package so far.

The short burst of static in her ear piece signaled the end of radio silence as one of her team members sounded off. “Thunder here. Still in position, awaiting visual confirmation.” The boredom and annoyance was evident in his voice. She could hardly blame him. Thunder had dug in in the middle of the night and was a mere 80 feet away from the bunker, concealed by the sand he had thrown on top of his equipment. By now, just the heat of the mess laying on top of him was probably hell. “Wildcat here. Nothing new to report. Two marks inside bunker, no confirmation of identity yet.” Another burst of static as their team leader chimed in. “Thunder, keep radio silence until there is something to report. We move in at 17.00 hours regardless of visual ID. Eagle Eye, move to position Delta.” From her vantage point, Katherina could see their sniper – designation “Eagle Eye” move from his position on the East of the compound to take up one on the West. He would have a better shot at the entrance of the Bunker from there. All that was left for them now was wait…

[Siegfried]

I'll fill one out after I come back from work.

[GloomCookie]

RedEve, you're approved.  Welcome aboard.

[RedEve]

RedEve, you're approved.  Welcome aboard.

Yay me!

What should she be driving?

[GloomCookie]

Yay me!

What should she be driving?

Anything with wheels or rotors.  Maybe a tank if you can get your hands on one.

Team Designation: Ryan Duvalic
Age: 23
Gender: Male
PoB: America
Specialty: Explosives and demolition specialist offical title sapper
Brief Bio: Raised on tales of "The Patrotic Rebelion" that won americans respect from their british cousins, the rebellion did not die with the hanging of Washington and Franklin, the british created a pair of maryters that sparked centuries of resistance. Almost bleeding the english coffers dry as american republics rebeled and declared independance over and over. "Like a bloody Goddamn weed. that we are forced to drown with the bodies o english sons, again and again." Eventually Parliment decided it was better to find the root of the resistance than stamp it our again and again. The American Union as the rebels called themselves were given a deal simmilar to canada, where they were treated like full citizans, given seats in the house of commons, and managed their own affairs. they've been the "Loyal as dogs, but a bit odd..." ever since.
This is the history that every American learns and remembers.
Ryan is a fourth generation american immigrant, they moved to the American Union because they continue to offer Freedom of faith, speech, and greater social equality than found elsewhere in the world.
Ryan himself grew up on tales of intelectual rebelion, and armed resistance. in his youth he served in the Republican Millita, an anti Soviet group intent of using their history of violent resistance to raid and cause havoc in the soviet republics of south america. and in keeping various pasific islands close to the homeland out of the Empire of the Rising Sun's hands.
An expert in explosive ordanance, demotions, and the contruction of boobytraps. Ryan cut his teeth in South america. his claim to fame was the distruction of a Rising Sun fortress on the island of owahu. Apparently their generatiors are more explosive than they'd like to believe. this was done with household chemicals, fertalizer, and a noodle stand near the base in question. The british response was along the lines of a short jail term, faked outrage and horror, and a nice new employee in her majesty's service.
