 Arrakis, commonly known as the planet Dune. A sprawling and vast desert planet that is the galaxy’s only known source of the highly addictive spice melange. The spice is the key to precognitive space travel, letting pilots steer their vessels safely throughout space, and the backbone to all travel. The great House Atreides, from the home planet of Caladan and led by the great Duke mr capps Atreides, has been appointed custodian of Arrakis, and granted sole rights to harvest the spice from the sandy wasteland. But another house, House Harkonnen and its Baron anime gently caress pillow, has decided that the weak Atreides are undeserving of the power and wealth of Arrakis, and with the secret backing of the Emperor has launched an offensive to kill the Duke, and steal the spice production for himself. The two Houses have an enmity lasting centuries, but finally, this battle of combat and intrigue will lead to the destruction of one house, and the everlasting power of its mortal enemy. Welcome to the game thread of this soldiers mafialike. I am your handsome mod Opopanax, and am much friendlier than the other thread mod Opopanax.

 The Duke - Mod confirmed town-aligned  Duke Capps Atreides - Lord of this Great House and thread The soldiers
BATTLEFIELDS: Arrakeen - The heartland of the Good empire Atriedes benefit: The Atreides Duke can appoint an extra frontline defender to battles in this battleground. Harkonnen benefit: If the Harkonnen raiding party wins, the Harkonnen Baron may target and instantly ##kill one player in the opposing thread (except the enemy King). Sietch Tabr - desert A vast network of caves and tunnels. Many native or ancient artefacts can be found in hidden caches here. Desert Environment: A sandworm appears in 50% of battles here. Shielded combatants each have a 20% risk of being eaten by a sandworm. Victor benefit: The victorious army raids the secret caches of the ancient Fremen. Great artifacts can be recovered, but some may not have lasted the travails of time. If combatants decide to ##loot instead of taking part in the battle. The number of artifacts looted is based on the number of total ##loot actions, but only the battle’s victorious army gets to loot, losers drop their ##loot for the victorious army in their haste to escape! Windtrap Expanse ”Bless the Maker and all His Water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passing cleanse the world. May He keep the world for his people” - Fremen saying. Windtraps collect vital water from the cooled nighttime air of Arrakeen. Control of the water supply is vital to such a parched land, and this vast rocky outcrop is a key location to deny to the enemy. Victor: surviving members of the battle here gain Augment All 1 for the next day’s battle. (+1 to all damaging abilities) Loser: The losing side’s surviving raiders gain the Parched debuff, which lasts until they win a windtrap battle (-1 to current and max Stamina). Spice Field Delta - Deep Desert “He who controls the spice, controls the universe” - Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. Of course there are risks too - the Shai-hulud, giant sandworms, feel and are attracted to the agitation and vibration in the sand. Deep Desert Environment - due to the abundance of sandworms in this zone, shields may not be used, rendering ballistics more effective. (all Ranged attacks gain +2 to damage) a sandworm is always attracted to battles here, and Ranged rank characters each have a 20% chance of being eaten by a sandworm after the healing phase of battle. Victor Benefit: The victorious army controls the spice fields, granting the ruler improved boons. Carthag The seat of the Harkonnen’s power. The ostentatious fortification will be heavily defended. It would take a brave force to attempt this raid. Harkonnen Benefit: The Harkonnen Baron may select an additional frontline defender for battles. Atreides Benefit: If your raiding party wins, the Atriedes Duke may instantly ##kill one player in the opposing thread (except the enemy ruler).

50 pounds of bread - his name refers to the amount of fiber he shits out daily, because he is a fatass CapitalistPig - can't say anything too mean because his girlfriend has cancer CCKeane - i was in a skype call with this guy and he literally has the voice of a loving ringleader of a spooky circus who kidnaps children that 2 kid detectives have to defeat. chaoslord - you can't be a loving lord of chaos it makes no loving sense, like if you are a lord, that means you are lawful and crap jesus christ this loving rear end in a top hat DGK9000 - suprsingly this is a common nick name amongst males for their dick dorkanoid - the most appropriate username Jakep - sometimes i read this as a jakepees and i giggle Juanito - imagined i put a compliment here, the point of this is to cause direst amongst the other thread because i may or may not have received a pm that juanito is a spy working for us. is he? who said that? Little Mac -  Lumpen -  MEDS CURES SCHIZOS - username backwards is: SOZICHS SERUC SDEM which is latin for "clown carcass lover" meinburg - this guy is probably the only person here who read the entire dune series, and he enjoys it all, what a dork Pinterest Mum - reads jame patternson novels, enjoys them Puntification - inspiration for the 2nd little piggy whose house gets blown down by the big bad wolf Rarity - was the understudy in her high school play for the role of "hag mother idiot fucker #1" Somberbrero - when asked the question "if you could have any super power, what would it be" answered "batman" in other words we already won this game

anime gently caress pillow posted:I will not speak further ill of my opponents of Atriedes Anime - They are merely misguided, and it is our job to correct their worldview. I know that some of you may feel strongly against violence, but know this: They will kill us if we do not kill them. We are a force among which none other can stand. We are strong of arm and will, to be sure, but it is our hearts and the knowledge that we fight for the good of Arrakis that will lead us to our inevitable victory. I will be commissioning a song to which you may bravely fight for your nation shortly. Worry not of your lives, for you will always live in the hearts of your countrymen. Worry not for your families, for they will be well taken care of. Worry not for your freedom, for that is something which the Anime can never take from you. Long live Harkonnen! here is my speech in the game of soldiers mafia there are no winners, there are no losers. no, this war isn't a game, its a battle of ideologies. to win is to live, to lose is to die. the winners are the living, the losers are the dead man, the spoils of victory is the ideology left behind. so the question men, is what do we fight for? is it kings? is it for your life? the values you and your comrades believe in? i don't know why you fight men, i am not even sure if your heart is with our factions beliefs, the belief in love, comradeship, and just being a good person overall in general. i don't care, because you are my men, my people. you are what i fight for. if we are to be winners, let us live together, if we are to be losers, let us die together.
