Hi

Go here to find out about this.

I think that this will die if we do not start to properly decide what we can do for the story. If you can not decide or don't care vote anyway so we can get a good understanding of all of this. If you have any stories post them here along with any countries you think should be added to the list. Below are the two stories we have so far. Comments are welcome.

My story is below:

One year ago a terror began, Japan saw parts of Russia releasing poison into the air and needed to stop it, the world has been visited by all sorts of strange things. First on 12th of July 2012 an alien ship crashed into Paris there were no survivors of the incident. Next in 2015 a scientist created a giant killing robot with many defensive systems, it was brought down in New york and its current position is unknown. On top of this global warming caused parts Africa,North America,Russia,Spain and small parts of Britain to fall undersea, the North and south poles are now water..

Last year the worst happened though to stop Russia from poisoning our skies a nuclear warhead was launched without full granted permission from the military. It hit its target and Russia thought it was Americas Goverment so they fired 3 warheads straight into washington. With the president dead everyone in the country got out of the big cities but it wsn't over. America had weapons aimed at every country and in below an hour they had started war. Britain joined America. Africa and Europe were on seperate sides. 2 days later planes were flying up and down carrying bombs. Just as people finished making the secound Efiel Tower a warhead hit it. Someone even knocked off the head of the statue of liberaty, unfortunatly it was found with a spear through it in China.

The year is now 2020

The population of the world is around 50 million. We are based in an old town, south of where London used to be, it was once a military base. It was never bombed but the French military invaded back at the beggining of the war. It was then deserted but their were some supplies left. Their is a forest 1 mile away and a river nearby. Now the war has ended we are making this our groups main position and will be rebuilding it to the best of our abilities. We must keep out any other raiding gngs and we know exactly what they want, our food and supplies. We welcome new people if their is space but they must prove themselves worthy(excluding children under 9 they can come in for free).

Admiral M's Story is below:

In the year 2010, a worldwide drought has caused many of the world's breadbaskets to fail. Across the world, people begin starving. Russia, who's growing capabilities are slim, quickly sees it's people starving. It's relatively new democracy fails. Order quickly becomes chaos. Dimitri Mabus, a man who's name would become infamous, becomes the leader of the UN. He promises that within 5 years, His home of Russia, and all the world, will have recovered and will be stronger than ever. Millions flock to his cause, and quickly all the world is his stage. He even helps the israelites repair their great temple!

But soon after, things begin taking a turn for the worse. Russia begins building a new army, as does the United States. Mabus has become president of Russia, but his country, and all the countries, are split between those in favor of Mabus and those against him. Mabus declares that all peoples of faith are members of the Right, the people who shall inherit the earth. Entire countries unite under Mabus, who now rules over a massive empire. Mabus makes Jerusalem his seat of power, and his palace, The Third Temple of the Right.

Mabus's banners fly all over the world, and it's neo-facist regiem reaches from Siberia to New Genea to Sudan to Poland. The western world looks on in fear as millions of soldiers, thousands of ships and vehicles, and hundreds of warheads are built. The Free World, including Western Europe from Germany to Spain, Britian, Ireland, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, The United States, Canada, and the rest of Australia, North and South America still stand against him. Tensions continue to rise, and then, on December 21st of 2012, the winter solstice, Mabus's massive army mobilizes.

Warheads are launched at Washington, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Seoul, Beijing, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Tokyo. The earth's major cities are reduced to rubble within 24 hours. Over 3 billion people die on this day, eventually to be called Judgement Day.

But the war was not to end. People are still fiercely loyal to one faction or another.The armies of Mabus attack Germany, Australia, and Alaska, quickly overwhelming the allied defences there. The blitzkriege continues, Mabus's armies making it all the way to California and France. Biological warfare, along with the moving armies, fleeing civilians, and crumbling infrastructure caused massive outbreaks of smallpox, anthrax, and other terrible diseases that were almost unstopable. Mabus's armies left a trail of utter destruction in their wake. It appeared as though the free world would crumble under it's might. But somehow, the scourge of death, the armies of Mabus, began to fall. Falling back across the Urals and the Bering straight, their territories were failing. Finally, in 2039, the armies assembled in a massive battle at a valley just out of range of the once great capital of Mabus's evil empire, Jerusalem. The greatest battle of all time had begun. The Battle of Meggido.

For 3 months, the forces of good and evil fought in massive numbers. Tanks and trucks rumbled across the landscape, and in the skies the planes of both armies were blasted into submission. Mabus's soldiers fought like demons, their eyes were dark as night. The allies continued the fight, but were quickly loosing ground.

Then, on december 24th, a new star appeared in the sky. It was bright, and clear, shining overhead. It came closer and closer to earth, and one could see it take human form. It was a the image of a group of people, so bright they could not be looked at. Then, up from the shining spires of the 3rd temple, came a dark shadow. It spread over the city like an eclipse. The sky grew dark as it spread out over the landscape.

Then, at midnight on december 23rd, a great bellow echowed over the landscape, as from the angels came a furious strike of lightning. It collided with the temple, and exploded, a huge eruption of fire coming from it's wake. Mabus was dead.

The destruction was immense. The nukes had caused much of the polar ice caps to melt, causing mass flooding. The skies filled with dust, the earth cooled down, leading to a nuclear winter. Most of the land was now infertile. The war was over, but no one was happy.The men of the enemy's army fell to their knees, their eyes clear. Every man broke down crying, crying for all those loved ones who lay in the rubble. Everyone had been tricked by Mabus, who had promised them a better world, had ended up destroying it.

Now, in January of 2040, a group of refugees from all corners of the world sat in a convoy of trucks, on a small highway in eastern North America were moving from site to site, looking for a home. Finally, they find a small, ruined town, with a stable climate and several bunkers with supplies. There are several houses that are still mostly intact, and decent growing space. The survivors get out of their trucks, and begin to rebuild their lives.

Edit: Note: everyone on Mabus's side was under the control of The Evil . I am not racist.

Heh. I suppose i'll add my own.

'Twas a warm sunny day on Earth. A nuclear war happened. Some survived, some didn't.

The End.

I don't know if this is a sort of competition to see who can write the best page-turner, but I thought people would prefer to have much more freedom to build and think whatever they want. After the discussion topic's polls, I thought people were sorted. There was a Nuclear war, we're located in a small ruined town, the least wanted beings were Aliens etc.

Later in the topic people thought it better not to limit ourselves to a country. Why should we? When everything is destroyed, what difference would it make? Its not like there would be any national landmarks in this small town, nor anything that would instantly tell people what country it is. And its not like the raw materials of certain countries would dramatically change the appearance of the town. I'm pretty sure there is soil, sand, wood and stone just about everywhere.

As for countries who started the war, why give people the opportunity for negative stereotyping? Why label a certain country as: "the meanies who dunnit"? After an event like this, nobody is trusting nobody. So why point all fingers at one place?

But, continue. Just thought i'd give my 2 cents. The only results I'm expecting to see are a piece of a National Landmark used as a wall section, and a hangout for a club devoted to hating those who started the war.

How about a different story or none at all?

I don't think it needs a story, the basics have been pretty much laid down to give it a nice ambiguous backstory; there was nuclear war (not revealed what sides there were) and now this town must defend itself against marauding gangs or other towns trying to extend their reach.

To the Brickmobile!

Sorry to you Skinnny Boy as you created the ideea and sorry to everyone else. i just thought it would be nice to have more of a fixed story so we do not get some mocs in the desert and others in the artic (however unlikely this is). If you all want this can be closed down, just say so and I will ask a mod.
