Corporate Wars

[ordos45]

The year is 2020, and American politicians can no longer control the corporate backers they've had.  Bombing enemy companies is commonplace, and you're as likely to walk into a burger joint and get killed as get a burger and a coke.

You are the CEO of a corporation.  You must lead your company to domination.

Rules: 

1.  No taking entire cities in one post.

2.  No double recruiting.

3.  No WMDs.

4.  No talking or taking action for other people's characters.

5.  Everyone starts with one city.

6.  100 of your basic unit is recruited per city, a maximum of 10 cities can be held.

7.  Cities can be razed, but it takes several posts.

8.  Each side has a unique unit that can only be recruited 10 per city.

9.  $1000 is gained per city per turn.

10. Russian tanks cost $50 a piece.

11. American tanks cost $100 a piece.

12. MiGs cost $200 a piece.

13. F-15s cost $400 a piece.

14.  To be revised upon need.

Main Corporations:

1.  Microsoft:

Lead by the evil Bill Gates, he is acknowledged as a worldwide premier power.  Leading from a massive bunker city under Seattle, he recently purchased all of Russia's surplus weaponry.  It is estimated he has thousands of fightercraft and tanks.

Special Unit:  The Borg.  These cybernetic life forms assimilate other lives into their collective.  Their ultimate goal is to assimilate LINUX and Apple, because they are tired of crashing on Windows XP.

2.  Wal-Mart:

With a seemingly unstoppable number of illegal immigrants and slave wage workers, Wal-Mart is a large corporation.  Headquartered in the newly built Wal-Mart HQ city in Kansas, the machinations of this evil corporate entity is unknown.  Wal-Mart recently assimiliated Best Buy.  Their leader is some soulless kid just out of college.

Special Unit:  Rapidly Multiplying Illegal Immigrants.  Instead of gaining the usual ten special units, Wal-Mart gains a weaker form of basic employee soldiers.  They gain 500 Illegals per turn, per city.

3.  Halliburton:

Pockmarked with scandal, this massive entity stretches out across the world, like Microsoft.  They gained an upper hand by buying out LINUX and switching their systems to it.  They also bought out Lockheed-Martin and Boeing.  Their headquarters is in Washington D.C., in the former White House, and their leader is the ancient Dick Cheney.

Special Unit:  Delta Force.  The most elite troops of the U.S. military have been hired by the greedy corporation that controlled their leaders.

4.  The Fast Food Alliance:

America's fast food industries found themselves the target of corporate takeovers and knew they could not stand alone.  They all joined together into a super conglomerate, and are known for poisoning enemy corporations.  HQ is in Orlando.  Their leader is Ronald McDonald.

Special Unit:  Greaser.  The Greaser is a soldier armed with a grease gun.  The greaser is succeptible to bursting in flames near fire, but can cause rivers of grease after long enough to consume an area...if a spark were to hit this rive of grease...

5.  Chick Publications:

Lead by the enigmatic and ancient Jack Chick, this company tries to manipulate religion and has succeeded in creating an army of Fundamentalists.  The Headquarters of this faction rests in Ontario, California.

Special unit:  Suicide bombers.  Having read one too many tracts these fanatics have mixed beliefs and think they will get 72 virgins in Heaven and a pat on the head from God.

6.  Marxist Rebels:

Rebels against corporate greed, they have no set base.  Their leader is unknown.

Special Unit:  European "Advisors".  These "Advisors" are really Europe's best soldiers from a variety of EU member nations.  Their skills are practically endless. 

7.  Other Corporations:

These may be created, but be reasonable.

[Dunenewt]

I'll take The Marxist Rebels.

[bryorama]

Since Kaitan's War is dead, I'll be joining up this one. (Trying to keep it to 1 thread for myself. ..) Anyways.. I think I'll make my own corporation.

The Gathered

Lead by Bryorama, a destructive yet strangely peaceful CEO, he is camped underground & somewhat above-ground somewhere along the California Coastline. Estimated to be semi-rich & powerful, he has access to buying mass military products.

Special Unit

The Commando - little information is known of these secret ops. The information that is know are they are sneaky, well trained, and said to be former military special forces personel.

Hehe, can't wait for this to start.

[Barbarossa]

Can I join?

Confederated Automotive Factions or C.A.F, Leader: Jim Bowtie.

After one hundred and thirty years of rivalry the various american and european car-maker realised the japenease controlled seventy-five percent of the auto market, to combat this one sided rule

[Mihail]

I'm compelled to tale Wal-Mart,but my gut instinct tells me not to.I'll take Halliburton instead(Not that I like it being led by Dick Cheney.Maybe a revolution of sorts... :D )

[Barbarossa]

Dont bother, Cheney's heart will give up in a couple of mounths any way. ;D

[Dunenewt]

Hmm...I might be getting a job with ASDA-Walmart (what the British Walmarts are called). lol

[bryorama]

ASDA meaning...?

[EWS]

Microsoft:

Lead by the evil Bill Gates, he is acknowledged as a worldwide premier power.  Leading from a massive bunker city under Seattle, he recently purchased all of Russia's surplus weaponry.  It is estimated he has thousands of fightercraft and tanks.

Special Unit:  The Borg.  These cybernetic life forms assimilate other lives into their collective.  Their ultimate goal is to assimilate LINUX and Apple, because they are tired of crashing on Windows XP, however any computer system will do.

Basic Unit:  The Microsoft Engineer.  Basically this guy knows everything there is to know about computers.  He used to believe in Freeware, and open source but money and super powerful computers has drained that from him.  When threatened, he will call upon his ultra cool programming techniques in C++ to save the day.  Usually quoting Slashdot.org or Neowin.net!

Little is known about Bill Gates secret lifestyle and the many security services in the world label him a success.  They code name him 'EWS'

The Gathered's Basic Unit

[EWS]

Well he did say basic unit, and I couldt find an explanation of it so I just made it up until I am told otherwise

[Dunenewt]

ASDA meaning...?

Don't know. ASDA is a British store which was merged with Walmart.
