Welcome to Kobolds with Cannons! A fun little RP thread that Small humanoids with Huge weapons.
General Rules
Don't be a jerk. If you have conflict, take it somewhere else. Kobolds in war have no time for inter-racial conflict.
Keep it easy on the swearing. Replace it with [Gp], *Explosion noises,* or the like.
Put the name of a siege weapon in your first post so I know you read these rules.
Limit large portions of text or photos to spoilers. Also, limit quote chains (for mobile users' sake)
This should be around PG-13 rating. It's war, but no suggestive scenes or something like that. Keep the romance (if any) light. These Kobolds are too busy fighting the war, after all.
I realize that this is about different races fighting each other, but there should be NO racial statements. If someone wants to play as a Fairy that was raised by kobolds, fine; don't overreact about it or take it to extensive lengths.
No PVP unless both players agree to it. Usually, the Kobolds will fight incoming goblins or
Game Rules and Background
It's 1345, 2 years after the start of the war. We are currently on the 156th General; hopefully, he will live long and prosper. Oh wait; sorry, we're actually on the 157th General; the 156th died in an air raid about 2 hours ago. Anyways, most generals die pretty fast, so most people will have their shot at being General at least once before being grievously injured or dying and having to retire. Generals, the top of the chain, are the head honchos, the big cheese, the top dog; etc., etc. They can issue orders to the Sergeants, who are below them, who issue orders to the Corporals, who issue orders to the Privates. Currently, the hierarchy is:
General: Platyboss
Sergeant II: None
Sergeant: None
Corporals: None
Private II: None
Privates: Everyone else.
There is also another rank, but these guys are special. Hence the name. Usually, these are the anomalies, the Scale Sorcerers, the Inventors, the Urds, strong members of other races.
(You can also rename Specialists different things, such as Ambassadors or Spies, depending on the flavor of your character.)
To get a promotion, you have to gain a certain amount of renown, then appeal to one of your elders (The rank above you). You gain a specific amount of renown each day, depending on your rank. You can also get renown by completing certain tasks or missions issued by your elders. Specialists instead move up in tiers, such as Tier I, Tier II, Tier III, etc., up to Tier V.
Generally, Privates rank up at 5 renown, Private IIs at 15, Corporals at 35, and Sergeants at 75. Sergeant IIs, if a General slot is available, generally rank up at 155 renown. Of course, this is objective, and you only rank up if your superior accepts your appeal. Only two generals can exist at a time.
Events will occur every 2 real life days. I roll on a table to see if an event even happens, and what it is.
One to three characters is preferable, just because of the orders/renown mechanic, but you can have more if you want to juggle all the renown and orders around.
Renown and Renown Per Day (RPD):
Private/Specialist Tier I: 1 renown every two days.
Private II/Specialist II: 1 RPD.
Corporal/Specialist III: 2 RPD.
Sergeant/Specialist IV: 4 RPD.
Sergeant II/Specialist V: 8 RPD.
General: 15 RPD.
The higher the renown, the higher the rank. However, you can also LOSE renown in some such ways
Disrespecting an Elder (-1 renown; the Sergeants and Specialist IV+ can do this one on their own. This one is really dependent on the honor system, and please don't abuse your power.)
Denying an Important Mission (-2 renown; see above)
Sabotage (-5 renown)
Assassination attempt on High Ranking Official (-10 renown)
Assassination of High Ranking Official (-20 Renown)
Abusing your power (-10 the first time, -100 the second, -1000 the third and beyond. Don't abuse your power. Only I can do this decrease, btw)
You can get demoted, too, if you die, get grievously injured (which means drop to 0 hitpoints during combat), or lose more than 50 renown.
I'm not sure if we should do trials for some of the renown decreases. I feel like that would slow down the game; however, it would also make for a fun event. I'm not sure if people would use metagaming to sentence those convicted, however, so...
Vote in the poll! (I made the results not public just so that people wouldn't be influenced by others' decisions.)
Of course, you can also always say your opinion in the thread, but I'd like majority of the thread to be designated for RPing.
Oh yeah, listen to the mod(s). Which would be... just me, right now. (Platyboss)
Small posters decorate the walls. "Join the Aerial Brigade!" "31st Infantry Corps. Forever!" "Don't let them win!" are among many that line the main feasting hall. Trenches lead out in every direction, occupied by very few soldiers. What is left of Trench 137 is nothing to be surprised at. The Goblins have shown superiority in every way. However, the few soldiers remaining are strong, high ranking officials. And maybe, just maybe, with your help, the 137th Trench will once again be the epitome of Kobold-kind.
LOCATIONS: General Hall. Trenches. Barracks. Armory.
A young yet crafty kobold with bright red scales fiery orange eyes walks into the hall. He wears patchwork studded leather armor and is carrying a shield made out of scrap metal. He has a revolver and a few gadgets connected to a thick utility belt around his waist, and sling over his back is a large backpack filled with various materials.
"Kipu Shrapel, reporting for service!" The little dragonkin shouts out.
