Anyone Wanna Do a City Manager RP...

[Hive Tyrant Qiln]

Was wondering if anyone wanted to play a Base Builder RP. More specifically, as a Hive Tyrant who crash-landed and is cut off from the rest of the Hive Mind. Of course, completely disregard this if no one comes around.

Can I highjack?

Thanks!

Lets RP the UN.

I'll go first!

I choose the PRC and I will nuke the ROC!

Your turn!

On the threat of necroing this, what exactly is a City Manager style RP... like just RP back and forth in the boards here?

Basically a strategy game in text form. Managing resources people and defending from attack.

Hmm, sounds interesting but I feel I may have to pass. Would love to watch it though, check things out.

I was looking through some threads here to try to get an idea and think I caught on for the RP stories... managing resources and resolving conflicts seems ... interesting.

RP the UN, huh? Let's see, they'd attempt to muster a united conference to deal with this, but like you say PRC or America would act on their own. The Conference would ultimately fail, since the tyranids don't negotiate (in this edition).

Not sure about nukes, I think they'd save those (to never use, but always point at their allies to ensure cooperation). Not sure how effective radiation is against tyranids, anyway, since they can survive in space.

As for defeating the tyranids, chances are very low that any modern government could defeat the tyranids. Our human command structures alone would likely ensure that we didn't present a realistic solution until well after it was too late.

Regarding America specifically, I think our politicians would try to sell us out, rather than making a last stand of any sort. They might retreat into the bunkers, which we don't have enough of to save our civilians, and then drop the nukes, but even that seems like giving them too much credit. No, I think we'd either destroy ourselves, or die without real resistance.

Though I suppose, since this is a what if, the Emperor of Mankind could emerge, during this, and we'd be saved, at least as a species. He is supposed to be from earth, after all.

End of story then? Tyranids 1: Human race 0.
Next game!
