Nipton Convention

It has been four months since the fairly successful Mojave Congress Convention, and the Legion is beginning to make a presense in the area. They made even with the rest of the mojave by keeping the allied forces at bay and moving their forces in northern mojave during the Third Battle for Hoover Dam, so they are acting with a lot of subtlety, but have made enough noise that the NCR has noticed their presense. The free factions of New Vegas and the surrounding Mojave Desert have gathered here to discuss the war, and beyond...

Edwin Robert House: Has the Mojave Congress under him, as well as an influx of supporters since the Mojave Congress Convention. He still only has a few securitrons, but the amount of friends he's made due to the past convention, has put him ahead in his game.- Gingy

NCR: After their devastating defeat at the Second Battle for Hoover Dam, the NCR has finally started to extend their grasp from the west, and protect the southern mojave to keep it safe from any Legion threats.- Message me if you want this role.

Legion: Fractured since the Third Battle For Hoover Dam, but the rage of their defeat has reached the east, and now Caesar is making yet another drastic move, and sends forces into the north Vegas mojave area, and ambush patrols to prepare for the full force of the Legion. The full army of the Legion, unchecked, will burn the west.- Dark Zerker

Chairmen: Controls Gomorrah and The Tops Casinos.-Lt. Andronicus

White Glove Society: Although recently believed to not be a threat, they are undoubtedly involved in mysterious business, and their ideals and goals are unknown. Mortimer was taken in, but little is known about any interrogation, *if* it even happened.-Undead Fiend

Novac: With the advanced tech of the NCR salvaged power armor, they have been able to protect themselves for the most part. A squad of NCR troopers are nearby, still protecting the town until they are needed elsewhere.-Sebor13

Nipton: Still the NCR's main base of operations inside the Mojave, so it remains a great strategic point for the NCR.- FalloutBob

Boomers: Have not been active and have not shown much presense since The Second Battle for Hoover Dam, but are assumed to be in the aid of Vegas and House's regime.-

Brotherhood of Steel: Now based in REPCONN Test Site. House has been denying them access anywhere near Vegas, but that may change.-OhSorryOldHorse

Gun Runners: Business hasn't been quite as good since Hoover Dam II, but nevertheless, they are making do, and resume to trade with the NCR.-Paladinlewis

Great Khans: Very broken, since their elders have been killed, but they still trade drugs to the fiends, which makes them more violent and agressive than ever.-

Powder Gang: The Vault 19 Powder Gangers have been in contact with the Great Khans and Fiends but have yet to leave their vault except for scouting missions.-

Fiends: Now in bits and pieces since their defeat at McCarran, and have scattered across the wasteland. Some stick together and still raid on their own. The intoxication from their chems keeps them moving.

Jacobstown: A few prominent members remain and the settlement's Big Horn are growing nicely.-Tycho!

State Of Utobitha: Now much safter because the NCR Veteran Rangers took care of the Deathclaw threat. -The Lobotomite

Enclave: Continues to be mysterious in their endeavors, although, so far they have stayed loyal to Mr. House for the most part. Took Camp Golf from the Legion. -hircine21

The Kings: Now thriving because of their recent trade deals with the NCR, and with the Van Graffs gone, they are definitely the top dogs of freeside once more.-Champagne Supernova

Van Graffs: Crippled since their defeat from the NCR, they made themselves even with the rest of the mojave by blowing up two major landmarks in the mojave.

Goodsprings: Goodsprings wishes to remain independent of the NCR because of the tax burden that would follow and has seen the town economy collapse because of the situation in Vegas and the I-15. The NCR encampment at the water source (8 troopers) frightens the town that they are next. -

The Followers: Still located in Freeside the Followers have been helping all that they can to little avail- Undead Fiend

Crimson Caravan: Business is terrible since Hoover Dam II, but the scattered remnants of the once powerful caravan company are finally receiving more traders from the west.- NaveSenrag

Is there anyone I missed?

We'll start thursday evening officially, when I know everyone can be on. Feel free to do an opening post, but there probably won't be much discussion until tomorrow night.

FYI, even if you have NO experience in any conventions, we are open to more people because what these are about is to hear people's opinions on issues and to make a massive [censored] fallout get-together with ideas.

We have a lot of interesting factions to fill in, so message me or reply to this thread if you want in.

I have not participated in this thread but I have been following it pretty closely and you missed some things I think.

-I thought the fiends at McCarren were destroyed?
-What happened with the attempted capture and interrogation of Mortimer of the white gloves?
-You didn't metion the BoS's pressance in Novac
-The state of the King's war on crime in Freeside and the expansion of Freeside.
-What happened with the Enclave at camp golf?

If I think of anything else I'll mention it. Anyway, great job guys, this thread is awesome

ps. I was thinking about taking up a post. There aren't many left that are all that intiguing but maybe the Crimson Caravan. They would play a small role so that could help me to get into it. I'll let you all know when I decide if I want to jump into the fold and see if you all are ok with it.

OOC: Oh, thanks Blind2Society. Also, am I free to fill in the blanks on what happened to Freeside since?

Ooc- the NCR is in Novac at the end of the last convention.

ooc- Definitely.

OOC: Wooo. But Freeside annexed Westside and North Vegas no?

OOC: damn a [censored] ton happened in the last few conventions, had a lot of catching up to do.

I don't think westside was on the list, if it was, you must've seen it before I deleted it or something.

OOC: Oh, right, sorry about that. Well, see you all Thursday then, I suppose.

OOC: holy crap things moved fast...I'll have to catch up in a bit

OOC: What's happening now?

OOC: I'm gonna take a guess and say we've moved ahead about a month after the attack on the dam.

OCC: I'm assuming this is in the Nipton Town Hall and takes place after our combined attack on the dam?

ooc: you missed out that the Gun Runners had moved to Vault 3

Crimson carvan were wiped out by legion but there big enough that they could have simply sent new people

I just have to ask. What is with all these conventions? They really should go into the Fallout fan section. Seems like people make one before the other is over.

I stopped after I got pissed and decided NCR would kill everyone with biological weapons. Which BTW they can easily do.

OOC: honestly styles I agree about it going in the fan section but no one really looks there.

OOC:

It's basically a gathering of people who meet at an arranged place and time in order to discuss or engage in some common interest, i wouldn't really call it an RP or a Fan fic. although it probably should go int those fourms, not many would do it if it was there.


did that happen? Bob has made sure no other the top killing stuff happens in this Convention

It wasn't my best moment lol. Other factions were demanding to much and underestimating NCR. So they had to die

Yeah, we mainly try and make deals, political discussions, etc.

OOC: It took me an hour to make the post, please simply notify me if there are any holes in it, instead of assuming I blew you off, because I certainly dont mean to. I'm gonna be doing my opening post in a few hours, feel free to start beforehand if you want.

Is it ok to join this if I haven't really followed the past conventions? I would be interested in taking Jabobstown if it's ok with everyone else.

That would be awesome. I've been wondering for a while if someone was going to come along and take Jacobstown because they'd be an interesting group to get a view from.

Thanks

One question though, what would I be exactly? Like should I be Marcus, or just a random mutant ambassador?

Well, your choice. I suggest Marcus through, it says most of them were wiped out except Dr. Henry, Lily, and Marcus.

Also, as a side note, I probably won't be on here until well after 12am eastern US time for the discussion (going to play some Battlefield 3 with some friends ), and it's 7:50 PM EST right now. I merely say this so i dont come in here and find that the BoS has been talked about and i have no idea wtf is going on lol
