TOC 1. The Plot 2. The Terminology 3. The Classes 4. The Packs 5. Mechanics 6. Rules 7. CS Ah, Vietnam, the place we don't want to be, am I right? Hot, steamy jungles, communists hiding in the bushes, and a war we don't want is going on.
"Our camp, Hotel Site Bravo, is right next to the DMZ, where we'll be infiltrating day in and day out to weaken the NVA and hopefully begin an invasion of Hanoi, AKA the capital of North Vietnam, AKA, the commies. Now, don't get too cocky. We've sent in several fireteams for black ops and haven't heard from 'em since.
And well, not to mention we have word the Chinese and the Soviets are arming them with MIG-15's and AK's. But before we begin all of this special ops cool kid stuff, you'll spend a day or two here, at Camp Lenox, in demolitions and sneaking training. Oh, keep in mind we're Hotel Site Bravo, which means we're prone to attacks by the Vietcong and NVA."
-Camp Owner, Lieutenant Ingham Pearson
You stared in disappointment as you read the letter, Great, you'll be stuck with a bunch of morons and your death will be prolonged even longer. But, who knows? Will uou come home, with medals and end up being awarded? Or will you come home bounded in a wheelchair, disgraced among the public? Well, my only words to you are: Welcome to (Viet)'Nam, rookie.
Since this is a military rp, and one of my few rps, you'll be bound to come across terminology you have never seen before. I'll provide some here:
NVA: North Vietnamese Army, your main enemy force. The official army of north Vietnam is at war with its cousin, southern Vietnam.
DMZ: Demilitarized Zone, means the boundary line between North Vietnam and South Vietnam.
Mig: Short for Migs, surplus planes delivered to the NVAA by the Soviets and the Chinese, the main backers of Northern Vietnam.
NVAA: Northern Vietnamese Army Airforce, main Airforce of Vietnam. Rifleman- You are a simple rifleman, carrying a newly developed M16A1 or XM16E1. Your sidearm is a Colt M1911. Basic class.
Sniper- A stealtheir version of the Rifleman, the Sniper wears mostly black or olive drab clothing, and is equipped with an M14 rifle with a scope. Basic sidearm is an M1911 with a screw on silencer.
Pointman: The pointman is a special class of soldier, with heavier armor when on "Point"(The first man going into a room or in a patrol). Equipped with an Ithaca Model 37, and a small ballistic shield.
Support Gunner- You come in as the Support gunner, to help lay down suppresive fire or to help hold an area. You are equipped with an M60 General Purpose Machine Gun. No sidearm.
Engineer- You are an engineer, who helps in destroying or fortifying structures. To help ease loads, you have been given the scaled down variant of the M16A1, the CAR-15. Basic sidearm is your trusty 1911.
Anti-tank- Your job is to blow up tanks or vehicles. You heard me. Standard weapon is the LAW. No secondary.
Packs Note- packs are different than classes. Packs are how you get your equipment.
Nothing: ...Nothing? Just your primary, and your secondary? D'ya think you're Sylvester Stallone or something?! (Sigh), well, since you've decided to get rid of EVERYTHING YOU NEED, you weigh less.
Rifleman Pack: Standard pack, you receive your Main Rifle, your uniform, two M67 Grenades, and a bacpack, containing MRE's, and a survival kit. Case you get lost, you know? Nam's pretty big. And there's commies hiding in the bushes.
Sniper kit: You receive your uniform, (If you're lucky, you'll receive some primitive attempt at a ghillie suit) Main Rifle, your secondary, and two choices of equipment. Four M18 claymore mines to lay traps, or two M67 Frags.
Pointman: You receive your Main weapon, your secondary, your uniform, and an optional EOD armor (Explosive Ordinance Disposal), two prototype thingamabobs called "Flashbangs".
Engineer: You receive your standard rifle, your secondary, your uniform, a propane torch, and an Axe to make structures. A choice of two M67's, or a purple smoke grenade for designating targets or CASEVAC. (Close Air support Evacuation)
Mechanic: PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a common term associated with the Vietnam War. It means the victim will suffer intense flashbacks of a tramautic event. In this case, it will be used as a mechanic.
Normally, your character's PTSD level is at 0%. This level will raise if said character(s) are experienced to traumatic events. The higher the level, the less combat ready you'll be, causing your probability of being killed to raise. PTSD levels can be dwindled when seeing the camp psychologist.
Mechanic: The Gunsmith
The Camp Lenox Gunsmith is highly interested in the weaponry the NVA are using. He will pay a certain amount of money depending on how many firearms you bring in for him. He will also give new weapons every once and a while as the result of the war progressing.
Mechanic: Malfunctioning Firearms
Face it, firearms don't fire if they're dirty. They must be cleaned regularly to fire repeatedly before they jam and break. The problem is, is that Vietnam is all mud and jungle. To clean your weapon, talk to the camp Gunsmith. Be warned, he takes awhile to clean your gun.
A hopefully brief notice
Welcome to "(Viet)'Nam", a Modern Day Military roleplay written by me and me only. There is a common stereotype among rhe community I make "war rps" and never do anything useful: this is false. This is, in fact, my seccond attempt at a modern day military roleplay. Basically, rules are is what you'd expect, standard rping rules and roblox rules.
In other, put a famous song from the 1960's to prove you read this.
I have implemented a few mechanics, and please do provide some feedback on these as I continue to work on them.
If you didn't read through enough of the main story, the story is set in a camp near the DMZ, where you are assigned to do black propaganda tasks, Demolitions, and other tasks. Be warned, you won't be going out in a huey just yet. You are to meet with yoyr squadmates and do training before beginning your operations.
A final note is that I want to thank all veterans who served in Vietnam, their courageous acts under fire shall not be forgotten.

Why the hell are there no swords?
There are too many guns
You should make a medieval RP, nobody likes modern RPs
Insert your own failed criticism here, Rock, just switch it around so that it's criticizing modern RPs and advocating medieval RPs. |

Tim, answer this: Did you see NVA and U.S Army infantrymen running around with swords? This is a Vietnam war rp, of course not. Can I simply have my likes or dislikes? I don't have any ambition to create medieval ages roleplays, you'd all go "Oh, well you see, this is wrong because reason!" |

"Did you see NVA and U.S Army infantrymen running around with swords?"
Do you see Elves and Dwarves run around with shotguns and rifles? I used the exact same argument that you once used, just changed it around, and suddenly you're on the defensive.
"This is a Vietnam war rp, of course not. Can I simply have my likes or dislikes?"
Can't the rest of RP simply have their likes and dislikes without you constantly saying "medieval, therefore bad"?
"I don't have any ambition to create medieval ages roleplays, you'd all go "Oh, well you see, this is wrong because reason!""
This is wrong because modern warfare RP. |

Tim, when was the last time I've said that? I've stopped going "screw medieval, you suck" for awhile now. Of course not, elves and dwarves don't run around with shotguns and rifles. That's ridiculous. The point is tim, leave this alone. I want to try something new, an experiment. Denied journal, did not follow the format. |

I dunno, about a month ago. The last time I saw someone make a medieval RP, really. If only you recognized that several weeks ago when you used all your "screw medieval you suck" attacks. Leave medieval RPs alone, then. |

Why do you genuinely care so much, tim? That was LAST MONTH AGO. A lot's changed since LAST MONTH. I shall continue this rp, and furthermore not read any more to your replies. Journal, redo the entire cs, and read the Original post correctly. |

Wow, anti-non-American much?
Also, he doesn't have anything else: He's Somali. The only thing he has is the bad memories of Somalia he'd rather not remember and the few good memories of eating icecream with his friends, singing karaoke and working at his fast food job in the States. He loves the USA but I guess the USA doesn't love him. |
