Third Battle of Hoover Dam? How does that make sense?

It makes sense because the Legion took it in the Second Battle, and the various groups need to retake it...again.

I'm new to this and I haven't followed the past ones, but I'll read up on them and take the Crimson Caravan, if that's ok.

Hey I'll Nipton if you don't mind. It's a properly small role and yet still open...

That sounds good, tbh I'd rather be Marcus than a random mutant anyways.

Ok so the third battle has happened right?

Yeah, the Legion won with many casualties and then began to invade and take over much of the northern Mojave.

OOC: If Bob is going for a smaller role, I'd like permission to play House again.

I'd love to have you in this convention, Tycho.


Sure thing.

Yep I'm done with House although it was interesting. So yeah I'm ready whenever you guys are

So is it starting now?

Ambassador Draiman-Robert Edwin House's Right Hand Man

*The Ambassador walks into the Town Hall, and notices the long table at the end of the room. He straightens his tie, and walks over to the table.*

Looks like we're in a tough spot, folks. House wants these issues to be resolved quickly and efficiently, so he sent me in.

Thank you for your hospitality.

*Turns to the wall and sees the NCR flag*

NCR land eh? This will be interesting.

*Smiles*

I had said early in the thread that I was going to take the crimson caravan. Now that I think of it though, you should probably take it. I can't be sure I would be able to consistantly contribute to the thread. I'll just stick to reading it every now and then

OOC: you don't constantly have to contribute, a lot of people who post here are quite casual about it, although you need to post when you can.

I REALLY need someone for goodsprings.

Sorry. I only skimmed your post, and I missed the part where you claimed the CC.

* Since the first meeting of the Mojave Congress, the Kings have risen from their dire state and begun thriving as a community. The "Freeside Trials" continued on, this time with more success than before, due to Pacer's mysterious death of a Psycho overdose stopping the tribals from getting off scot-free. The King, though mournful of his friend's death, did not suspect foul play, and instead promoted Ambassador Alex Turner to be his new second in command. Having received funding from House, and free weapons from the Gun Runners in exchange for guard duties, the Kings aided NCR troops in clearing the Silver Rush of the Van Graffs, and begun converting the now empty building back into a casino as it was Pre-War. Also of note is the Kings heading Freesides' annexation of both North Vegas Square and Westside, setting up a second Kings base in the Monte Carlo Suites after dealing with the Scorpion Gang, while leaving the Gray unoccupied for the Followers of the Apocalypse. With the group's morale at a new high, as well as House's support, the Kings flourished, able to send many members - including new recruits from Westside and North Vegas - to the dam to fight the Legion. Unfortunately, the Legion proved too strong, and despite suffering heavy casualties, were able to fight back the combined force of the Mojave - including the Kings - and move upwards through the Mojave. Now, Ambassador Turner has been called to Nipton for the second meeting of the Congress to sort out their next move.

Ambassador Turner - The Kings

*Turner shows up at Nipton town hall, being held up by his two guards, with bandages around his leg. They almost drag him into his seat and then proceed to inject the bandaged area with a syringe containing a clear substance, only a small fraction of it remaining.

"Sorry about this boys, some cazadores caught us on the way here and I spared most of the Antivenom on Caruso over here. I'll be fine, I think, though if I start to look a little pale, then do tell me about it, heh heh. So what's with the change of scenery? Neon lights hurtin' your eyes?"

OOC: He stated that he probably does not want to do it.

If you're up for the role, go ahead and act on it!

Kevin Harty- Mayor of Novac

*Mayor Harty walks in looking somewhat sad. They had just finished the monument for those who lost their lives at the Third Battle for Hoover Dam. Although Novac lost less people than its allies they lost a hire percent. He slumps down in a chair and looks up.*

Good evening, I would like to inform you that Novac is going to be building two sniper nests, one on the northeastern point of the settlement and one on the south eastern.

Our church has been completed.

We're also tearing down the old fence we have surrounding our settlement and, using wooden planks from unused houses, we're making a wooden fence that expands furhter, encircling the NCR embassy and the Brotherhood embassy.

We are also planning on making an irrigation system, diverting a bit of the Colorado River so we could possibly make a river flow north of the settlement and to fertilize the land so we can expand out farms.

Ambassador Draiman-Mr. House

I could see this as a benefit for the Mojave, as long as you keep it under control and keep it from flooding.

You have House's permission.

OOC: Did any mutants from Jacobstown participate in the battle at Hoover Dam?


Thanks These conventions always look like fun.


IC:

*Marcus stomped into the Nipton town hall, his hulking form completely filling the doorway as he entered awkwardly into the room. Eyeing the large table at the end of the room, Marcus let out a sigh, knowing that he will have a hard time fitting down in one of the tiny chairs. Nevertheless, he stomped over to the table and approached one of the chairs. Casually, he grabbed one chair and pushed it up against another, taking a seat on both chairs at the same time. Then he adjusted his headset, laid his massive arms on the table, and folded his hands.*

Hello everyone, it's an honor to be here at this meeting and as the mayor of Jacobstown I hope we can work something out to help everyone deal with these tough times.

I've seen a lot conflicts, some ended good, some bad, and we can only hope that this one will have a good ending.

*Marcus pauses for a few moments*

Jacobstown is a peaceful village - we don't have much to offer but we do have a good population of Bighorners. Good meat and valuable hides - problem is, there are a lot of Cazadors in the area, and they don't get along well with the Bighorners.

We propose building a stronger fence around the settlement and putting up a swinging gate at the entrance. We would also benefit from a few more weapons and some ammunition - we're close to running out of ammo, and no ammo means more Cazadors - more Cazadors means no Bighorners - and no Bighorners means no more Jacobstown.

We have money to offer in exchange for the weapons, and we offer Jacobstown as a safe settlement open to anyone - not just mutants.

*Marcus looks around, realizing his introduction was a bit lengthy. He keeps his composure and calmly leans away from the table, looking around for reactions.*

OOC: I'm going to bed, goodnight everyone. I'll post again around 4:00pm EST when I get home tomorrow.

Dr. Sanders, Followers Lead Doctor

Nick walked into the meeting and said "Nice to see you all. Holy hell he's sick! I've got my medical supplies right here." Nick gave the knig who was sick plenty of antivenom and other medicines. "Okay, he should be good. I'm going to go sit down."

Mayor James, Mayor of Nipton

Mayor James staggered into the conference room with a Hub born stride. Even after walking in the wasteland his suit had not a spot on it, and despite it's old age it still had a certain pre war shine to it. Mayor James took a seat at the table, a golden tooth shining from his crooked smile. He put both hands on the table revealing his NCR engraved brass knuckles. Taking a look at his neck it was clear to see he had once be apart of a gang of some sort..or maybe he was still in one?

For the town of Nipton after the Second Battle of Hoover Dam it seems Mayor James represents everything wrong with that horrible plot of land. After the Legion took out the old mayor and citizens, many mercenaries pimps, gamblers, drug runners and their six slaves have moved to Nipton. The NCR has very strong laws against those things, but James knows who to pay to keep their mouths shut. Plus the troopers and Rangers who have managed to live seem to like Nipton well enough. In fact ever sense the I-15 went to hell from the continued Powder Gangers, Nipton, not Primm has become the new new Vegas and from a casual observation it currently has more tourist and trade than Vegas itself.

Nipton is the ulimate hotbed of sin and yet because of the NCR's continued defense of Cottonwood and Nelson they are safe and free from another Legion raid. In fact the NCR controlled areas in the Mojave are free from most hazards these days, and James, James is lining his pockets every minute. Nipton is the Mojave's top heaven of drugs, sin and vice. The Mojave's six trade, drug trade, and illegal weapon trade all runs through this town. Jame's is a born and raised NCR citizen but with a smile like that...what's to trust about him?

"Hello [censored]es, my name is Mayor James, but you all can call me, Mayor. i didn't know if I was gonna show up to this joint but hey, when the NCR says go, it's not like I got a choice."

Ambassador Turner - The Kings

*Turner thanks the doctor for his aid, and then motions that his guards can leave him and go relax in the lobby of the hall.

"Well, I was gonna make it, but I do feel quite a bit more comfortable, thank you Sanders. Oh, and Sanders, we've left the Gray unoccupied in case you want to send in some Followers, turn it into a hospital or whatever, interested? Now then, Marcus is it? The Kings still have some energy weapons left over from the Van Graff raid back at the School, and we'd be willing to sell 'em to you."

* With that, Alex turned his attention to the newly arrived Nipton representative.

"Heh, I like this guy, whiskey for my boy over here, and one for me as well."

Ambassador Draiman- Mr. House

The gun runners would be your best bet for weapons deals.

As for a wall/fence, if you can manage it, you can use cement from quarry junction as resources.

Mayor James, Nipton's Mayor
"Also I must send much thanks to Mr. House for sending power to this town for the duration of these meetings, although it sure as hell would be nice to have some when we aren't holding high profile diplomatic conferences. I mean last time I checked the NCR has been holding the Colorado from the Legion for over 10 years now. Considering no one is going to Vegas these days anyway I don't see how you all need all that power from Helios."
