Xheng Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Huge hurricanes! Tornadoes! A massive power failure! Disease! Earthquakes! Floods! UFO attacks from Simcity! Just a few ideas that could be significantly RPed without the need for war. It will probably involve the militaries of nations of course to maintain order, and no doubt political issues can be brought up with the excuse of aide and intervention. I'm thinking of an idea, whereas a massive hurricane, hits one portion of Europa, causing significant damage, economic and civilian casualties, that pretty much causes huge tragedies that echo throughout the region. If such a hurricane would hit, it would be so large, as it would hit not just a single nation but many others as well, causing the scale of the damage to be far larger than any little tropical storm.

Europa Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Huge hurricanes! Tornadoes! A massive power failure! Disease! Earthquakes! Floods! UFO attacks from Simcity! You forgot volcanoes Link to comment
The Chosen Nations Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I suggested disease but wah pooed. I think that RPing natural disasters is a bit one way, but I have never RPed one before. Link to comment
Bhalman Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I have RP'ed natural disasters before and they are quite fun as long as you do it the right way. Link to comment
Xheng Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 A massive outbreak of plague, followed by a huge earthquake that triggers a massive tsunami that came at the same time as a hurricane.... pretty much real life year 2004-2005 Link to comment
Ide Jima Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 What about global climate change? Link to comment
Ide Jima Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Not neccesarily, like on the day after after tomorrow, it happened quickly in that film Link to comment
Xheng Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 We could have an asteroid hitting the planet causing a mass extinction of the human race, but I Feel that not many nations would like that. Something simple, and not too overly "cinematic". Link to comment
Deltannia Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I like Ide Jima's idea, climate change. If we do something like that, we could have various natural disasters hit various places. So it wouldn't be localized. That way, hurricanes could hit along the coastal areas, inland can get earthquakes (or flooding, or something else), poles could get freezing cold. Doesn't have to be just this, but then we don't have to say that the devastated area is only Country A. No asteroid. That would cripple humanity by quite a bit. (Larry Niven's Lucifer's Hammer was an amzing book). Link to comment
Xheng Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 The problem with climate change, is that the damage is irreversable, within the short term, and I don't intend on RPing a natural disaster for more than a few weeks. Link to comment
