id start out as a random waster. but one day, i'd join talon company. i would always get the job done but try and find the best (i.e, good karma) way to do it rather than be just a well armed raider. through good work and (maybe some assassination) i'd rise through the ranks until i eventualy take over the entire company. then i would slowy phase out (through suicide missions and silent assassiantion) the most violent and evil memebers (the ones who take pleasure in evil jobs) and recruit fresh blood looking to make caps and be part of a fairly good group. then i'd start taking jobs with the DC BoS (as there not a bunch of high tech raiders as you said, but a fairly "help the civilian" style group within the BoS organization) for some caps and energy weapons and maybe some old power armour and training in it's use (or stuff we loot from enclave engagments. no disrespect to yourself) and as guards for caravans (for pure caps) and the followers for some caps and medical supplies/training. then as we grow in numbers and expand in caps, i'd spread our influence from DC to the mojhave and everything inbetween, buying and salvaging vehicles and robots (both of which will be sprayed black and given the talon mark) to aid in this. eventualy we'd get a reputation as a group of decent mercs who get the job done and always do it profesionaly (if your caps are good of course). and we'll of course have healthy (not hostile) competition with reily's rangers. and i would change the logo. rather than this
<===
the bad ass skull vulture will be swooping down on a cartoon-style panicing raider.

also, i suppose we could accept jobs from the enclave (provided it was your good oriented faction, not the asshole brigade) for some pre war tech.

D.C. BoS and Circle of Steel are cool guys in my book, but full blooded BoS from the west coast are the high tech raiders I'm talking about. As I said I don't agree with the Enclaves Nazish plans of killing everyone so I may have a independent Enclave faction of my own protecting the wastes.
Would your Merc Company be willing to join forces with the United Northern Territories (Custom faction board members and I have pieced together. The name isn't final since none of us can come up with something good lol.)
Also, your plan is very badass and would make for a cool mod.

we'd be happy to assist, if the caps and tech are good (guys got to make a living after all) unless your engaging the NCR. then the work is on the house. though medical treatment from your lads will still be expected. also, i propose we try and get the boomers over to our side. between your power armour'd nutters, super mutant warriors, vertibirds and follower medical know how and my rather vast army of well trained, well equiped and battle hardend mercs and bots, we could take over a fair bit of the wastes. with the only real threats being the NCR, ceaser, the BoS (asshole devision) and the original enclave. (assuming, as i assume, they still have troups and a command structure somewhere.)

This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship between our peoples.

most assuredly. i think a long term contract would be in order for such a unique client.

Once the territories are secured and our trade routes clear we'll be all set to sign a defense agreement. We are sworn enemies with Caesars Legion so perhaps a little contract raiding is in order inside the eastern territories?

sounds fun and profitable. you keep the caps flowing, we'll keep the body count growing. what about any slaves we come across? we'll free em of course, but transporting them back to you would cost a little extra (they would need to be fed, watered and defended on the way back. not to mention the medical treatment they'd probably need just to be strong enoungh to travel.) of course, orphan children slaves will be brought back free of charge. and they'll be raised by the company, so no worries on that front. also, we would accept payment for a raid in one (1) domesticated deathclaw. those things kick ass. (provided of course you can assure it's reliability).

Due to the rarity of the Deathclaw control headsets and the fact that many will need to be recovered from Raven Rock on the other side of the country we cannot promise payment of domesticated Deathclaw but if we can tame them without the use of the helmets we will be willing to provide them as payment for extraordinary deeds to the nation.
Slaves will be given the choice of being brought back to our territory upon being freed, for the ones that agree to come along you will be fully repaid for supplies and other expenses.
For a discount on services and border patrol we could construct a compound within our borders to serve as your regional HQ. As long as you can assure that harm will not come our way as a result of contracts you have with other nations/contractors.

conflicting contracts are bad for business. make no mistake, while we will still take on other contracts, your governmental contracts will hold high standing. also, should open war be declared with ceaser, we will of course lend our services as front line troops. on another note, a long range recon unit will be put together to discover the locations of all the remaining vault tech vaults. any new vaults we claim will be availible for purchase should you be intrested (though their contents may vary in availibility and we may keep a few of the habitable/restorable ones as well defended regional bases.) and any G.E.C.K's we find will be immediatly surrenderd to you. (though i will personaly keep one for personal reasons).

Thank you for being so reasonable Commander. I've had enough internet for tonight so I'm hopping off of here. You have a good night my friend, see you later.

and to you. should you and the other members of this thread ever start up another one, let me know. till then, good night (or in my case, early morning), lord chairman.

I'd stay with The Mechanist, and together we would battle The Antagonizer side by side
Until one day I discover that The Mechanist is a dick
Then I leave for an entire year, just wandering around, spreading my own interpretation of justice from the Republic of Dave all the way to the former remains of Rockopolis
Until I discover the shocking truth
The capital wasteland has no justice...
I escape to Oasis for wisdom from a mutant begging for me to kill him...
I just don't understand, what does he mean when he says "Kid, I 'm not even joking, let me DIE"...
I suppose I have to leave and find out for myself...
I set my course to wander back through the wasteland when I discover him...
The Roach King
At first I find myself in shock of his almost supernatural powers over the radroaches. But then I discover he is weak and I see he is unfit to serve as the king over these incredible creatures.
I start a revolution against him, and take his gear.
His roaches will become loyal to their new king!
After this....I believe it's time that I show Canterbury Commons true power...

You walk into the commons and you take that shit over with an army of roaches. Those ants and robots can kiss your ass!

But this shit ain't over yet...
The Mechanist knows who I am, and knows I will stop at nothing to command all of the wasteland, and that if I can stop the trade route's for passing through the commons, then I can hold every single town and city hostage for their precious goods.
They have no choice but to submit to me.
However, The Mechanist is joined in his lair by a familiar face...The Antagonizer!
She refuses to submit to the inferior radroaches, and proposes a truce...
And so they have a plan
And when I say a plan, I mean they have the most awesome plan ever!
First, they send a message across the wasteland to Lucas Simms, Roy Phillips, and Elder Lyons.
Then, as I arise for my day of scheming the next morning, I look off in the distance and spot the first cargo to walk right into my trap....but who is that?
It's Simms and Jericho...oh how cute, they think that they can hold up against me...
But behind them is...the Antagonizer and The Mechanist, hand in hand...oh isn't that precious, they are just so desperate to....OH SHIT!
An army of ghouls led by Roy....You are all fools, I've killed 100s of ghouls in the past!
....no.....NO NO NO NO NO NO!
Liberty Prime! Of all the dirty......
I send forth my swarm of radroaches....they get picked off like they're nothing....
They approach closer and closer....I have to run! it's the only way
I send more radroaches as a distraction, but as I run the other radroaches stop...
I try to get the dumbasses to move but....they all swarm me at once.....They kill their coward of a king....
And only now....much too late.....do I finally understand what that tree meant.....he meant "Don't run away from several thousands of ghouls and a giant robot or you'll get eaten alive by radroaches"

Such a mystic that treemutant.

Also it would be hilarious if the actual Roach King had several dozen roaches with him that charged you. It would be cool to see them swarm you like locust.

I'd be a lone wanderer, or end up being a Regulator. If I didn't join the Regs I'd just take up on jobs and prospecting. Make a few caps to live and survive in my own Wasteland paradise.

JOIN US! In the paradise that we're building. We accept any and all into our fold if you are willing to protect our people, and the peoples of the wasteland!

Never liked the Enclave much. You're shooting for a dream that I just don't see happening. Which sounds hypocritical since I have the Regulators as an option. All I wanna do is make a living for myself.

I was mostly talking about the custom faction me and a few other people have built up further into the thread. But I suppose every man needs to find his own path through the dust of the old world. Good luck to you, lone wanderer.

Well, thought I was gonna die, but that'll probably end up being some bandit who caught me with my pants down so to speak.

Or literally, wastelanders gotta shit to ya know.

This is true, I can only wish to be dignified in death but it's not assured.
Such is life in Post-Apocalyptica

Indeed. You could end up like so many poor NPCs I've met along my travels, eaten alive by various mutants and wild animals, falling off a cliff, or being caught in an explosion from a random car that turns out is really a small nuclear warhead.

Seriously, whats with that? What in the hell were we powering cars with.

Actually all the cars are powered by small nuclear reactors. So they are just nukes waiting to go off. One day I was so perplexed by cars exploding into mushroom clouds that I did a google search about it and found out a lot of things in the Fallout universe are powered by nuclear reactors. The old world practically ran solely on nuclear fission.

Well it is a more clean way to give energy.
Safe on the other hand.

-BOOM-

Earlier when I was playing Fallout 3 I was almost killed by a chain reaction of cars exploding in the middle of a fire fight I was having with some Super Mutants.

Reminds me on when I went to that drive-in the first time.

I once accidently set off a massive explosion at some car-fort when I threw a grenade at some raiders who were standing nearby. I never found their bodies.

NCR

You are alone my friend. Unless you join all of us in our independent nation, from which we will build a new tomorrow for America, and perhaps the rest of the world one day.

Shit nigga.
I guess I'll join you anyway, you could use the military skills of an NCR trooper

We shall be unstoppable. We're also sworn enemies of Caesars Legion so yo might enjoy that.

I do enjoy that, and my great thanks to you sir

You're welcome kind fellow.

Follower of the Apocalypse. I'd like to help people as best I can, to save them, not for fame, or caps, but for the sake of preserving humanity and being a good guy.

You may join blnelms and I in our independent nation. We are a free people and open to ghouls, super mutants, and wastelanders of all shapes and sizes.

I WANT TO BE BEST FRIENDS WITH A SUPER MUTANT.
GET MARCUS ON THE PHONE, THAT MOTHERFUCKER IS JOINING US.

HE WILL BE OUR LOCAL SUPER MUTANT REPRESENTATIVE IN OUR GOVERMENT.

AND HE CAN ALSO BRING ALL OF JACOBSTOWN.
IT'LL BE SEXY.
But the BoS may attack us :C

The BoS can suck it. We're an independent nation with our own military and super mutant soldiers. What are they gonna do? Lol.

Yeah but he's on the other side of the country, and kinda dead according to Broken Steel lol.

I didn't realize we were stuck in Nevada. You never specified.

Most of the factions I named are based solely on the West Coast and middle America.
So for now let's assume we're somewhere near Nevada. Possibly somewhere north.

I still call Enclave Vertibird Pilot...

If we find enough Vertabird you'll be our nations fucking flight commander if you want.

The good ones are BoS rouges, like the D.C. detachment. True BoS members are kinda dicks, the outcasts in D.C. and that one guy who wants to overthrow McNamara are what actual BoS guys are like.

Shit stains.
OH WELL, WE'LL LIVE, SO LONG AS YOU ENCLAVE DON'T FUCK US OVER.
DON'T FUCK ME OVER, BASEMENT.

I WONT NIGMA.
According to everything I've seen and read the Enclave are (sadly) pretty much disbanded and on the run. We could use their old equipment though :D

(Oh, and there is a sudo good version of BoS called the Circle of Steel. They're all about helping people and shit so we could be friends with them)

Call them too, maybe go find us some more enclave friends, that would like to help out.
So we've got you Enclave.
Some Followers.
Whatever the fuck Blnelms is.
Bunch of super mutants.
And FUCK IT let's go get some pet Deathclaws, the Enclave has those things to control them.

Veradux could take a vertabird to the capital wasteland to recover some Deathclaw controlling devices to bring back west!

The count so far: Veradux and I are Enclave
NCR: Sandisky
Blnelms and freedomreturns are lone wanderers.
Timmietim is Brotherhood of Steel.
You and Roliga are Followers of The Apocalypse.

This board makes quite the diverse group of wastelanders.

And and Blnelm were discussing a new name.
Preservers of Humanity.
Sounds sexy.

Possibly, but it sounds a bit more like a church group than a nation lol.
Something that sounds apocalyptic or enduring would be ideal. But if all three of us can't come up with something better we'll go with Preservers of Humanity.

United Northern Territories? I dunno. This is why I never name my pets, I can't come up with good names XD

"The Equal Nation"?
"Pepsi-Cola"?
"The Sexy Sexualisers"?
"Cool"?
"Fuck your shit nigger, we are the best nation ever"?

The "Fuck your shit nigger" one shall be taken into consideration lol.

I kind of like Equal Nation, because we have Super Mutants and humans, Enclave and some BoS, Ghouls and good humans, NCR and BoS again, it's the sexiest thing around.

The Northern Equalist Republic?

We'll hammer down something eventually lol.

Genius, lets go with that. "NER" sounds weird though. But who gives a fuck, no ones going to question our glory.

Nobody that wants to live anyway...

No fuck that, if I see Sandisky, I'll shoot him, fuck the NCR, that nigger will try and steal all our territory and do nothing to help the citizens.

i am the a member of the new american army

Thats the name of our nation?
Thats weird. If we call ourselves an army a lot will assume we are evil.

As he said, we're fucking terrible at picking names haha. This nation started out as a small guerrilla army to conduct raids on Caesars Legion and transformed into something entirely different.
I'll think of a better name...sometime...
Anyways Sandisky's cool. He's traded in his NCR flags for our banner. All are welcome in our territory as long as they contribute.

oh
Okay good.
PROBLEM SOLVED, I DECLARE MYSELF AS "SURGEON GENERAL" AND "LORD OF THE FLAME"

AND SO YOU SHALL BE, SURGEON GENERAL!

AND OUR COOK, LORD OF THE FLAME!

NO YOU FUCKING TIT, NOT COOK, I BURN SHIT, SUCH AS ENEMIES AND CAZADORES.
IT WILL SEETHE THE RAGE INSIDE ME AND STOP ME FROM DESTROYING US ALL.

AH SO YOU SPECIALIZE IN FLAME ENERGY WEAPONS! You will lead groups of hunters into wild mutated animal nests like Cazadors and Deathclaw and use flamers to burn them out of their holes, along with destroying the eggs before they hatch.

KAYLOL!

NOW GO! GO MY PRETTY, COLLECT ALL OF THE SOULS AND BECOME THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR!

I GOT THE STRENGTH, OVER 1.1K HEALTH, MIGHT GET MORE, 22 ENDURANCE, SHOULD I GET MORE OF THAT? AND FINALLY, MY SEXY HALBERD IS FUCKING DELICIOUS, I LOVE IT, I WANT ITS BABIES.

SAVE YOUR MONIES FOR UPGRADING YOUR ARMOR, YOU'LL NEED SOME GOOD ARMOR TO GET THROUGH THE GAME.

:D
Anyway, I might go play Dark Souls and probably...fucking die. SO GOOD DAY FOR NOW.

GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR, REMEMBER WHAT I TAUGHT YOU AND YOU'LL BE FINE!

ManlyMan Johnson isn't my best power wise, but he's the best hilarity wise. And by fuck, he is a god among men.

Stalin is based around being a stealthy spec ops kind of character, my long and close range weapons are silenced and my mid-ranged weapons are anything from Multiplas Rifles to the All American carbine.

Seriously though, ManlyMan Johnson is the best person i ever made in Fallout.

My best character is my current one on Fallout New Vegas, Stalin is what I think his name is (It's been a while since I paid attention to my own characters name.)

Look, Basement.

www.funnyjunk.com/videogames/55478#55478

Fucking look.

WE HIT THE REPLY LIMIT AS ALWAYS.
FUCK.
BUT OKAY, AND IT'S ALREADY COOKED.
YOU KNOW WHAT? I'LL CALL MY FRIEND, MANLYMAN JOHNSON. HE MIGHT BE A CANNIBAL BUT HE IS ALPHA AS FUCK. THOUGH NOT A CLEVER MAN.

NO NEED TO BE A CLEVER MAN WHEN YOU'RE...A MANLY MAN!

Awesome. AND BEING A DOCTOR, I CAN TREAT THE SHIT OUT OF THIRD DEGREE BURNS. I'm also quite handy with a blade. So while they burn, I can cut down any surviving mutants that run out. WITH A FUCKING SHISHKEBAB.

CUT EM UP AND BRING THEM HOME AS FOOD.

talk to basement
he said he was bad at picking names
i am bad a picking names
so ask him if he would change it

Preservers of Humanity.
How about that?

sounds good to me
but go over it with basment he is the prez

A tunnel snake

tunnelsnakesrule.jpg

I gotta side with you on the Enclave. They even have the Vertibirds. Imagine being a pilot of one of those. You're a big asset if you can pilot a Vertibird.

Exactly, you can transport supplies to secluded settlements, provide air support in wars you may have with other factions, patrol your territory, scout for new lands or supplies, or can just go out for some old fashioned raider hunting.

Followers of The Apocalypse. because medicine

So far we've got a BoS guy, a lone wanderer, my evil Enclave ass, and you a FoTA doctor. We'd make a fine bunch of companions traveling the wastelands of America.

welcome to the fallout Olympics

First competition: Who can run through the Deathclaw maze and survive.

next up how many waves of legionnaires can you survive

After that we'll have a Mirelurk cake bakeoff to spice things up.

then how many gecks can you shoot with a vraiment rifle

someone should make a mod of this

I just tried google searching for a Fallout Olympics mod but all that popped up was something about Mitt Romney making a goof at the actual 2012 Olympics. Wut.
If I had the slightest clue how to mod or program I would create this mod.

it would be fun

powder gang

What is this? Sarcasm on the internet? That's dangerous stuff around here blnelms. (Mostly because I have a hard time detecting sarcasm through text.)

that is why i use the pic

I thank you for taking people like me into consideration.
So which faction would you choose anyhow?

idk
lone wander i guess

Because you're just that badass, you don't need a faction to rule the wastes.

yes that is it or if fallout universe was real i would start my own faction

Indeed, like your own militia for protecting wasteland territories or exploring. Something similar to that would be what I'd make.

yes like that and killing the legion for fun

Putting together a small Guerrilla army and raiding the eastern lands owned by Caesar? Sounds like a blast to me.

yes now what to call this faction

The New American Army?
I'm not good with names.

that sounds good to me

And so it is. The New American Army has been created. Fighting for a safe and inhabitable wasteland safe from the oppression of Caesar.

well it looks like we found our president

And I've found our general. Roliga can take over R&D/providing healthcare to the citizens since he's a Follower of The Apocalypse.

ok
and since i am the general our battle cry is for niption

"FOR NIPTION! MAKE CAESARS BOYS BLEED!"

it was fun i am probably about to watch doctor who or something myself

dont worry about it
it is all for fun anyways

Indeed. I'm going to have to hop off of here soon so you have a good night.

This thread was a complete success.

no problem
now i wait

And now I'm jotting down some details of our nation for tomorrows thread.

Well, maybe not tomorrow. As you've probably noticed I'm terrible at staying on schedule when it comes to writing stories.

i really want to play NV now
also you are good at writing stuff (your civ stories)
you should make a post about our faction and see if anyone else has any ideas

I'll work on a post about our faction sometime tomorrow evening, I gotta go pick up some school stuff tomorrow so it might be a tad late.

And speaking of my Civ stories... it might be a while before I make another one. My laptop's taking far too long to process the AIs turns so for every 30 seconds that I'm actually playing the game there's a minute and a half of me waiting. I'll try deleting some other save files to maybe get it working properly again but until I resolve this problem it might be the end of this Civ campaign.

Also, I appreciate the compliment on my writing. Nobody ever likes my writing.

sounds good (we hit the reply limit)
we might convince the kings to join also some communities and we could convince some raiders/powder gang to join with their only other option being total annihilation

We gotta have the Tunnel Snakes. Perhaps we could also convince those dashing Great Khans to help patrol our borders or lead raiding parties eastward to get back at Caesar?

and of course the tunnel snakes

so who would our allies be

I would normally say NCR but they are kinda greedy when it comes to land and independent territories. Not like they could over-power our military though. Even with the majority of their free armed forces in New Vegas they couldn't even handle a gang of chem fiends. I believe our best bet would be the Followers of The Apocalypse since they like supporting independent communities, and whatever caravan companies would be willing to take the risk of reaching our borders to trade. We could even convince the super mutant communities of NV to come live within our territory. They'd make excellent soldiers and workers for us while we gave them a safe place to live without the NCR bothering them.

mfw this whole conservation

My face this whole conversation.

im going with sentinel

Can't tell if you're talking about the BoS rank or an entirely different faction.

that big robot

Oh, you mean Liberty Prime?

oh fuck yeah i mean him, i watched transformers yesterday lol.
i'd side with tunnel snakes. because tunnel snakes rule
