Small back story for the BF2 fight

Expendable Grunt · 08-17-2007, 08:48 PM

Very simple, and I intentionally left out details.

In the near future the US elects a democratic president. This president is fairly isolationist in comparison to his opponents.

In 2010, [insert small arab country here] came under attack by one of it's neighbors. This nation was a somewhat minor oil producing nation. They called for US intervention. After much debate in the Senate and House, the US decides not to go to war.

The nation fights, and using some un named contacts, manages to win the small war. In the aftermath, a fairly charismatic leader takes position as the new prime minister of this nation (the PM before him having died in an attack on the capital).

By 2013, several other oil producing nations had declared treties with this nation. Acting on a personal hatred for the US for not coming to his nations aide, he convences these nations to form a new force -- a Middle Eastern Coalition. The countries, with their resentment twords the west, and their common oil production abilities, mostly agree and many nations join. This new NATO-like faction opens up trade between the member states, joint patrols each others nations to keep sectarian violence to a minimum, and most importantly, has secured the largest oil Embargo on the USA and GB. The surplus oil is sold to China, the next largest consumer of petrolium oil in the world, at a far cheaper price due to surplus. Soon, other nations, hungry for profits, join in the embargo and sign into the MEC.

Shortly later the US declares war on this new force, in an attempt to wrest control of oil. Great Briton and Canada join quickly, and China declares war on them, coming to the aid of their allies. Tensions run high as the nations fight what threatens to become a new world war over the Black Gold.

Good start. Needs to be LONGER though. More detailed.

[R-COM]Outlawz · 08-17-2007, 09:03 PM

Indeed, more detail, maybe just switch years a bit back, since PR is supposed to be 2010, not 2020

Maybe Bush never got elected and 9/11 never happened?

Expendable Grunt · 08-17-2007, 09:17 PM

I kept it vague on purpose, so I didn't have a two page long post and have it become epic fail.

Farks · 08-17-2007, 10:26 PM

Just like Outlawz said, it needs to be sooner in the future.

I dont know if your trying to act stupid here or not, but are you saying that 9/11 happened becuse bush got the office?

[R-COM]Outlawz · 08-17-2007, 11:15 PM

No, Im trying to say, that Bush didnt get elected and 9/11 didnt happen as a prequel to the events, PR is based on.

Would make sense, because then the Iraq and Afghanistan wouldnt be invaded and would join up MEC.
