This convention is not intended to stop any others, nor should it be seen as the continuation of any other convention. If you are RPing in a convention as of now no one is saying that one has ended. There is no reason why as a forum we can't have more than one convention on going at any particular time, especially considering many times its only a dozen or so people really involved anyway.

With all of that said... I give you the Criminals of New Vegas Convention!

Set up
The courier died at the grave in Goodsprings. With the Second Battle for the Hoover Dam quickly approaching the criminals and raiders of the Mojave have joined together in an official meeting to discuss and plan their future in the Mojave. All the factions in convention have the amount of force you see in game and are as they are when the courier first meets them. When it comes to the period in between conventions I will write the conclusion of actions based off actions taken by each delegate.

The Factions

The Vipers- bosmight342
The Jackals
The Primm Powder Gangers
The NCRCF Powder Gangers- Fallout Bob
The Goodsprings Powder Gangers
Vault 19 Powder Gangers
The Great Khans- Sebor13
The Fiends
The Scorpions

Signing up

There is no sign up thread, instead if you want a spot post as that group first and you'll get it. If you are acting to out of character you can be removed for your spot if someone else wishes to RP that faction.

Scrambler- NCRCF Powder Gangers Representative

Scrambler with his eye patch and brass knuckles hadn't left Eddie's side since the Prison Break out. Now he was sitting alone in at a makeshift conference table in the Prison waiting for the other organizations representatives to arrive. It was ironic really that Eddie was calling on all of these groups to send representatives to a Prison of all places, and yet there Scrambler sat. Waiting.

Cool, can I be the Great Khans?

ooc: Of course.

Aren't all the Powder Gangers the same?

This is a very unique convention. I would like to join as the Vipers. I am currently also particapting in the East Coast Convention.

No they are lead by different people. Eddie leads the NCRCF only. Joe Cobb runs the Goodsprings Powder Gangers etc.

Very well post whenever you are ready.

Cobra - Vipers Leader
*Jack Cobra Krios entered the prison with his two bodyguards. They were all wearing metal armor and wielded a assortment of weaponry. He walked towards the the Warden's Office which was the convention taking place and entered in. "What the hell, im the first one in." *Cobra took a look around and noticed Scrambler and Eddie*. You guys the host, I heard that you are gathering all the other raider groups. My name is Cobra, but my real name is Jack Krios. I am the new leader of the Vipers after killing that weak as **** Python. Your names?"

Scrambler- NCRCF Powder Gangers Representative

Scrambler, ever the people person, said nothing as Jack Krios asked for his name. Instead he took out a lighter and started playing with the cap.
"[censored] armor if I've ever saw it." Scrambler said noting Jack's blood splattered rusted armor.
"Tell me, how do you Vipers plan on taking on anything stronger than a stray caravan if that's the best armor you can acquire? [censored]..."
Scrambler stopped talking and resumed playing with the lighter cap.

ooc: Eddie is not in attendance.

Cobra - Vipers Leader
"We have been thiking about to start making chems to sell to the fiends. We already know the Khans have better chems, but I do know that the fiends always want chems. We found a large secluded cave and decided to make it our new HQ and chem operations area. The Vipers were not like this. Raiding petty lone caravans and ****** equipment. Back in California, we fough against the Brotherhood, had slaves and were taking over the Hubs caravans. I think in one story, one of the Vipers shot an arrow through the eyesoket of one of the Maxsons's. The Vipers used to worship the Great Snakes god, as they gave us power! We regressed from that, that is why we are weak and like this. We are all screwed if the Legion wins or NCR. They will still eliminate us. From my emergency backup plan, I have been thinking of moving my people North towards Idaho and create a empire, with the religion of the Snake at it's side.

OOC: The Vipers had some really interesting backstory. To bad we only see them in FNV. I would have loved to fight against them. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vipers

Scrambler- NCRCF Powder Gangers Representative

At the thought of leaving the Mojave Scrambler put the lighter back into his pocket.
"Leaving the Mojave will solve nothing, just as leaving California has solved nothing for your group. The way I see it even if the NCR or Legion wins neither will have enough strength to hold the WHOLE Mojave. With that reality it's simply a matter of weakening BOTH groups before this upcoming battle to keep the Mojave divided, and then...then the spoils will be ours for the taking."

Scrambler leaned back in his chair.
"When the Primm Powder Gangers get here we'll end the NCR along the I-15 once and for all. What I don't understand is why you Vipers haven't been able to stop all NCR caravans going the secondary route supplying their eastern positions."

ooc: Can you give more clarification of where the eastern positions are.

Genghis- The Great Khans
*Genghis enters the building flanked by three of the toughest of the Great Khans. He's not much of a fighter among the Khans, although more than a match for a squad of NCR soldiers, but he is the most diplomatic and is called Silver Tongue by his friends.*

Hello all. I have a proposition for you.

I think we should all band together to take the Mojave.

With the help of the Fiends and the Scorpions I could have the Khans attack and take over Westside and North Vegas. But first we will need aid in recovering from the NCR's unprovoct attack on Bittersprings. If anybody can send their young or their women to become or bare Khans then that would be a great help to us and would be repaid with power.

I would like to join as fiends

Motor-Runner of the Fiends

Motor-Runner arrives at the meeting hall along with his two dogs, BoneGnash and GhashBone., He arrives as Genghis is speaking and immediately replies, "and why should I [censored] help you [censored]"

Because you rely on the drugs my people make.

You don't help you get weaker drugs, and not as many.

"I ought to sick my dogs on you right now and tear off your face and feed it to you. Why do i want to control more land for? W should try to hold land and make ourselves targets for NCR, New vegas, the Legion. Instead we should stick to the shadows.We should control crime and drugs, what do I need land for?"

Cobra - Vipers Leader
"The Vipers can start trading you chems, if you give some of that sweet energy weapons.

Motor-Runner of the Fiends

"Interesting proposal, but we would have to receive a nice quantitative amount for those 'sweet energy weapons' Mr. Cobra" yet he looks at the assembled members and reiterates his point, "Times are changing, we can longer do open combat with our enemies. We can longer harass these military mights, because no matter what we do they will grow stronger and more powerful. We cannot fight organized armies as our Khan [censored] have so learned. The Mojave is changing whether we like it or not and we must change with it. What we are proposing will ensure the survival of our parties. We can control the trade of drugs, guns, six, etc.... We can harass the caravans and demand money for traveling unharmed, there is much potential, we need to organize, no we need to organize crime."

ooc: Camp Forlorn Hope, Ranger Stations along the Colorado, Camp Golf, I-188, and The Dam.

Scrambler- NCRCF Powder Gangers Representative

Scrambler was interested in what the Khan had to say and quietly listened to the different position taken by Motor-Runner. After they were both finished Scrambler resumed to the conversation.

"Motor Runner, you need us because otherwise McCarran will be the death of you. If not that then the Legion will roll through and put you all on crosses. Organized Crime under the NCR or Legion simply isn't possible. Hell Cobra and Genghis here are testaments to that. Hell I'M a living testament that crime don't pay in the NCR..."

Scrambler sat back in his seat further and thought, as soon as he was about to reach for his lighter again he sprung back to life.
"Genghis here is right. The only option is for us to join together as one, and take the Mojave, or at least parts of it."
Scrambler pulled out a knife and started craving the table making a makeshift map of the Mojave. He pointed at the I-15 he'd created.

"Us Powder Gangers, we'll control the I-15. From Primm to Vault 19 the Powder Gangers would unify and make the I-15 our zone. Of course we'd have to watch out for those damn deathclaws north of Sloan but past that the area shouldn't be that hard to control. But the real problem for us is that the NCR still has a garrison outside of Primm. Once we take care of that...[censored] the only thing left to do is to take care of those NCR shumucks in Sloan. Once they're gone the NCR won't have any reason to even try to take this place back anytime soon."

Scrambler then started craving the rest of the Mojave.
"Now for you Vipers, I'm digging Nipton. As of now from what I've heard the place has been burned down from the Legion. [censored] the way I see it, the NCR caravans only have two more routes into the Mojave, the north and through Nipton. If you all set up camp there we can starve out the NCR's eastern positions and make sure they'll lose the Second Battle."

"As far as the northern supply lines go..." Scrambler said now craving Khan and Fiend lands, "All you Khans and Fiends have to do is keep pressure on Westside while you set up raiding party safe houses in the Northern Suburbs of Vegas. Every caravan, NCR or not needs to die."

Finally Scrambler came to the eastern Mojave and here he had a somewhat hard time. He looked at what he had craved for the east.
"Now the Legion..they're a lot like the NCR, and by that I mean in open combat we're screwed. Now when do you all think the Legion will be weakest? You know what don't answer, let me tell you all. After they barely win at the Second Battle. Now after that they'll match to Vegas and be trying to reorganize after having so many of their commanders killed off at the Dam and Golf. That's when I say we ALL attack. They'll be tired, and unsuspecting their top commanders being assassinated. Now the Legion being Legion they ain't going to back down from Vegas and they'll probably come pretty damn close to taking it which is good for us because that means House's creepy ass robots and those King good doers will be largely out of the picture. And it's Vegas that we finish the Legion off, steadily killing their unit leaders while not engaging with them.

By the time we're done the Legion will be unorganized and retreating. Our enemies in Vegas will be dead. And best of all both the Legion AND NCR will be out of the picture. Is this plan crazy? Yes but it's our only hope for controlling this god-forsaken wasteland called the Mojave."

After saying all that Scrambler put his knife away and sat back in his chair as normal.

Cobra - Vipers Leader
"You really think the Vipers can attack the Dam, Golf, Forlorn Hope, and the 188 trading post. There are a lot of military personnel that can easily beat our sorry ass. Also counting the cvivilians in 188. We have low-grade equipment and not a lot of men. I am not risking that chance. Now considering that the Fiends give us some sweet ass energy weapons, we could have a better chance but even inexpienced farm boy in the NCR army can hold better on there own than us.

"No one is calling on you all to attack those NCR positions, in fact that would be suicide for everyone here. No what I'm asking is that you all kill ALL caravans and members of the NCR logistics corps resupplying those positions. Otherwise there's a chance the NCR holds onto the Dam, if that's the case all of us are doomed."

Cobra - Vipers Leader
"We can do that, the Vipers can set ambushes and improvised explosives on the roads. Now if that greedy bastard Motor-Runner would give us some weapons, we could kill them easier. The reason why we didnt attack the caravans are because the Python the last leader, was scared that if we attack them, NCR would be looking for us and eliminate us completely. He was a weak ass.

OOC: Sorry, dindt read your other post clearly.
