Title: Military Q & A
Post by: Sovereign Dixie on February 02, 2007, 05:19:14 PM
Ok, this thread serves to answer any questions you may have about our army, or joining it. Let me start with one that I'm sure is on alot of minds......

Q: I said I wanted to join a while ago.... no one contacted me.. what the fuck?!?!?

A: Sorry, basically, what we've been doing is creating a region from scratch, we've had to prioritise, so things like drafting our Constitution and creating the Senate came first. We are now at the point though that we're going to begin creating our army in earnest. I thank you all for your patience, and rest assured, you'll be contacted shortly! :)

Q: When do we go on missions? I wanna kick some ass! PWNAGE!!!
A: You'll all need training, even us experienced players are going to take a refresher course, then we will conduct some training drills. Once that is complete, then you will be ready for deployment.

Q: What do I need to join?
A: To be a citzen of Taijitu, and to have a UN nation. That's all you need to start!

Q.  How do I become a commander or sub commander in the Army?
Title: Re: Military Q & A
Post by: Sovereign Dixie on February 02, 2007, 05:53:00 PM
A: In much the same way as you do in an RL army, by exmplifying comptetence and skill in the field, and showing leadershp ability.

How often will this army be used?  My UN nation is often elsewhere.

As a follow-up to Bustos' question.

Q. If one first needs to show exemplary skills in raiding/defending to become a commander, who leads our armies first?

Post by: Salty on February 15, 2007, 06:00:50 PM
Q: Our nation will not be required to participate in Military engagements, right?
Title: Re: Military Q & A
Post by: Eluvatar on February 15, 2007, 11:16:23 PM
A. If you sign up for the army, it will be required.

Another stupid question...

Say I did 'sign-up,' could Gnoled Ttam's forces be used just for defense and not for offense?

A clarification:

Warfare in NationStates consists in moving UN nations around to take control of the UN delegacies of regions. RP national forces and strengths have nothing to do with it.

Also, signing up for the Taijitu Army would be considered a full commitment to both offensive and defensive actions. Once you're in the army you don't chose which wars to fight.

WHERES THE FRIEKIN BARRACKS?!

I don't think you're in the army just yet, I'm sorry. When Merlin gets back you can talk to him about that.

Simple (Shagras) I can accept your application, but you must understand that you will also be sent on invasion missions as well as defense.

Is there like an army roster of all the people who are in the army?
Title: Re: Military Q & A
Post by: Ryazania on April 09, 2007, 02:11:00 AM
I believe I(and maybe Elu) are the only ones who actually have an official roster. I don't feel that I should release an actual one for security purposes.

You have to be a citizen first.
Title: Re: Military Q & A
Post by: FeherTigris on May 03, 2007, 02:01:13 PM
I just got this Telegram (from a nation in Catlandatopia)
=======
Recruiting from the game created regions is legal. They are known as "feeders". Recruiting from player created regions such as Catlandatopia is illegal and will get any nation that does it deleted. The regions you may recruit in are: The Pacific, Lazarus, The rejected realms, the various warzones, the North, South, East, and West pacifics.

It is understandable that the game protects player created regions. It takes a lot of work to build numbers up. Some lazy region should not be allowed to capitalize off somebody else's work. I believe we have had more than a dozen players deleted for recruiting in this region.

I hope that all helps.
=======

Actually I did nothing that caused this. Any idea what it is?

Title: Re: Military Q & A

I sent out exactly 0 telegram since I joined Taijitu even for Taijitu nations.
Title: Re: Military Q & A
Post by: PoD Gunner on May 04, 2007, 05:22:00 AM
respond to the TG and while saying you've send no recruitment message, ask for clarification, in a nice but ferm tone of voice. Do not call them idiots, they usually resent that.  ;)
Title: Re: Military Q & A
Post by: FeherTigris on May 04, 2007, 09:37:52 AM
ok, I sent this:

Ugh.
Your TG was received stop It is a little bit cryptic as I've sent out no telegrams at all since I joined Taijitu stop Of course in general everything is understandable stop If you sent your telegram because of concrete happenings please notify me stop.
Thank you.

If you get on the bad side of Catlandtopia, they will make up info, and then take irrelevant information out of context to make you look bad.  Take it from me...

Post by: FeherTigris on May 14, 2007, 05:53:38 AM
Sry, I was only a few day old in the game, knowing NOTHING about military, and then I got that TG. I still do not know what belongs to military and what not; how wars are fought - using such TGs or not. I just wanted to get help handling it. Maybe my judgment was wrong about the TG being military kind but such mistakes from rookies will always happen for sure. Dixie please show the way: if not here then where and how to figure it out when you are a newbie?

Hello,
also I have been here for quite some time I spent most of it in the RP section (Wonderful place ;D).
Only recently I have  looked around other places in Taijitu and  I like it here.
Now I want to make myself useful. I’m thinking about becoming a citizen and joining the military.
Problem is:  I have ABSOLUTELY NO idea about the military here.
What is it’s reason for existence, what does it do and how can one  help the region by joining. What are the duties.
I have only started with NationStates a month ago and I have heard about “raiding regions” and “expelling” or “pushing out” nations and such.
I have however no idea what this is about.
So if somebody could tell me something about it or point me to the information that would be nice.
Title: Re: Military Q & A
Post by: Romanar on July 20, 2007, 02:34:41 PM
Basically, raiding involves sending a bunch of UN nations into another region and seizing the Delegacy.  Once the raiding nation has the Delegacy, he can change the World Factbook Entry, and kick other nations out of the region.

This is the best and oldest raider region in the game.

I'm currently in a defender force.  If I am permitted by my defender commander there to serve in other regions' armies as long as there's no conflict, may I serve here?

Thanks :)

Well, if you are in the army, or any regional military, a UN nation is required, I believe?

AFAIK, an available UN nation has always been required.  However, Durnia does have a point.  Though the "brawn" of the military has to be UN, I would think there should be positions that don't require a UN nation.  JMO.

You need a UN to be in the army, however you could contact St. Oz about doing work for the Ministry of Regional Security.

Or you could pass some things my way in exchange for a few tai :P

Question 1: I read about the exercise in Warzone Africa.  Will a similar exercise be taking place anytime soon?  If so, where?  when?

Question 2: The OP mentioned that Taijitu's Army may be used to defend our allies.  Which regions are we allied to?
Title: Re: Military Q & A
Post by: Yachkia on September 13, 2007, 10:18:52 PM
I have one question.  If I joined the Taijitu Army would I have to participate in every attack we make or every defense we make? Let's say that I can't attend one because of too much work or something, will I get kicked out?

1: If there is interest there will be more exercises.  It looks like there will be another one.  The time and place will be delivered to members via PM once I have them sorted.

2: The regions we have an embassy open with.

No, obviously you cant take part in attacks you are not there for.  Nor, would I kick you out.  However it would be nice to make as many missions as we can.

Let's say one of our allies goes on a raid.  They are kicked out and counter-attacked in their home region.  Are we obligated to defend them?

Question;
Is it possible to (succesfully) invade a region whose founder is still around?  Do they retain the ability to do whatever they want with the region even if they're not delegate?

EDIT: Also, call me a newb, but what's a warzone?

Post by: Of Crazed on October 31, 2007, 01:14:22 AM
You enlist in the thread in the MoD office

You can "invade" a region with a founder, but it is a waste of our time.  They might be in full controll for a bit, but if the founder is active he can stop the situation.

A warzone is a game created region for training.

Currently I am "in charge" but elections just happened.

I am not a member of the armed forces but I would like to ask something.
I will probably have a load of time on my hands around Christmas.
So the question is Does the Army have any rank insignia?
If not I would be willing to sit down and make some.
(May take till January tough cause sometimes I get lazy  :D)
However I would need to know what ranks there are and how they are named.
