Codename: Big Tank

Salutations, everyone! To emphasis the fact that we are now open for business, and are now slapping our hands about on the surface of Azeroth, I'd like to share an idea of mine, to the Alliance, as much to the Horde. Since Goblins are industrialized by nature, and the Company runs a strict, advanced war-technology research-programme, I was thinkin': Let's have the Company begin the construction of one helluva mobile fortress. Which of course should be stopped by all means, so the Alliance will avoid having this Deathwingbane creeping through Stormwind. The idea basically surrounds the Company's expansion and increasing engagement on Azeroth. Latest, an Alliance Naval Convoy was lost off the coast of Dustwallow, sunk by the currently minor Company Fleet.

The event would possibly unfold over different 'parts', as a group of Alliance would have to infiltrate different key-positions of the Company(The Shipyard of Gadgetzan, potentially Bilgewater Harbour, just to name a few), figure out what the Hell we're up to, of course not without resistance and the risk of being sniffed out by Powder-Ops. Finding blueprints, schematics, questioning engineers and researchers, you name it. Gi'me your odds and ends, if you have anything to add. I'll add a Tank-Schematic during this week, which may give you an idea. No spoilers till I've found some friends and foes!

P.S. -
Bilgewater Harbour RP initialized.

Isn't Gadgetzan like.. neutral?

You're taking part in sea warfare? Ohhhhhh. RISKY! *rallies the crew to take back their waters!"

Raelan, Gadgetzan -is- neutral, but we're doing business with them, which is both in Research and Trade. Which explains possible Company-activity there. We're also buildin' a transmission-tower in the Tanaris-desert to allow communication-lines between Gadgetzan and Orgrimmar!

Gazzek, if my internet ever recovers I'll talk to you In Game with regards to a Shattered Hand
project I'm working up that will involve a modified Siege zeppelin.

Sounds good, Kaigron, I will await your return!

Oh, and Morinth, since I hope we, in the future, can settle down and run a co-operative show, let me inform you that the Alliance-ships "could've" been a threat to your interests upon the Great Sea! We may have saved an entire shipment of some merchandise you had shipped. You can thank us by repairing the hull of one of our ships. She took a shell right to the bridge.

No ship's a threat to us! Board 'em, kill 'em, steal their bloody ship and use the wood to stoke the engines of our Goblin-made ships.

But we are gathering allies at a rather swift pace... Perhaps the company will be next on our list of... beneficial alliances.

We sunk their bloody ships. Good luck fishin' wood out of the Maelstrom!

A walk in Stormwind Park.

You are no match for Admiral Ryan Reylious of the fourth fleet!!

It's funny how Admiral Ryan Reylious shortens to ARR. Piracy! Arr.

Fook yir! ;D

Precisely. You cannot run from piracy!

Cargoships can, if they're escorted by NATO/US Destroyers.

Not in WoW.

Fixed

They won't be escorted for long... Give me five minutes. The escort will either be non-existent, or sabotaged.

Hey there, an update to the potential event. I know this may come as a bit of an "Oh My God" to some, and "Sweet!" to others, but I've been so kind to integrate a semi well-known tank-concept! I thank whomever behind the original design, who appeared to be french, with hands on the right pencil!

Enough jabbering.. I give you the schematic-overview of the Company's latest technical and industrial achievement! THE GEMAN HUZZ OBLIVION TANK!



This is what we are building. Terrifying, marvelous and abominable! A behemoth of elementium, adamantium, cannons, guns and tracks, smashing and munching through the walls of Stormwind, the Oblivion-cannon sending shells into Stormwind Keep, burying Varian in his own glory! For the Horde, they say! I say, Business is Business. Someone's gotta stop us from giving Garrosh a new play-toy. He throws such around, y'know!

(Yes, I am aware of what it resembles, but the original tank is far from more advanced than Goblin/Gnome Engineering, so, it's plausible. Atleast, Adam said so.)

Whatever happened to swords and bows....

Whatever happened to rocks and sticks. Evolution of Warfare is a disasterously woeless lover, I say!

Im sure part of the Gnomish community would love the oppurtunity to sabotage Goblin engineering!
Time to call in the gryocopters! >: D

you carnt use that in wow!! thats a lemen russe, that would distroy ower pathetic steam tanks

You've had armour superiority long enough! The Company will dominate armoured warfare from now and till the ends of time!

It has come to my attention that we both strive for the same titles... Within the same faction. A Unity of Many Benefits for Great Justice, no?
