Gilnean Military Intelligence - would there be any interest?
by Raenmar Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:33 am
Something I've had in mind since the political conflict with the dwarves started (and since watching Skyfall), so I just wanted to get an idea of whether or not people would take any interest in it. Could be successful and help Northern RP, could fall flat, I don't know. Either way we'll probably do it, even if just on a small scale, for IC reasons, but yeah. It'd be nice if we could get it working on a large-scale.
The idea is a Gilnean military intelligence agency. Not trying to be badass like SI7, but rather focusing on the political side of things, with espionage, propaganda, infiltration, and the like. Not really much more to say about it right now, but we're working on IC documentation.
Any opinions?

If you believe it to enrich roleplaying, go for it. You might encounter the problem of finding those players to play agents, because of the already existing Si:7 and SIA agencies. The political roleplay inside the Alliance is indeed a game of its own, and if you sell the concept right, it might get the support it needs. I'd advice to build the concept of agency as a start to be run-able with an extremely small crew, so it isn't hampered much even it it wouldn't draw larger interest.

espionage, propaganda, infiltration, and the like.
Realistically speaking, this sort of Intelligence is something that would require a small army of background paper-work minions working 24/7 with plenty of funding from a stable government source and an extremely secure communications infrastructure.
Then again, the Gilnean Liberation Front would be relying on a lot of Frontline/Battlefield intelligence already. Also, doesn't Ravenholdt already serve the purpose of a northern espionage organisation, (besides being an assassins guild, since they train SI:7 agents)?

just my two cents, more food for thought then any thing
- Spoiler:
I love espionage based roleplay. but i would subjest poking some one in SIA or SI:7 based rp for a little ooc chat. to see how the game is played our and how the GIA would fit in
some people will still want to be bad ass like si:7 while pretending to be james bond ( who should die a quick death in the great game, well in my mind any way)
Start small
GIA -Gilnean military Intelligence Agency
command wise i see it should start as a
handler/spymaster- his responabilties should inculde, assembling information from multiple sources and drawing conclusions that can be used to serve the aims of his superiours. other activates revole around, maintaing the net work of infornants that are the lifeblood, this includes supplying equipment and funds as needed. keeping an eye on new recruits and occasionally taking deep cover assignments too dangerours or important to trust to a subordinate
spy- your more then likly playing with ownly a hand full of spy archetypes. (free lancer- spy for hire, normaly trained else where and on the run from those that trained them. Scouts -which you would be using all ready. saboteurs - all sabototeurs appreciate the opportunity to make mass destruction. you might have also be able to tag a raven/swallow in more then likely for the spys hiding round council tables. raven -male / swallow - female if people get irresponsible when it comes to animal attraction they get down right reckless when it comes to matters of the heart)
assest devolpment.?
you more then likley start by recruiting from your own scout forces. as there all ready trained in most arears of wildness based espionage. after that you more then likley start filling out the skill sets you belive to be of use in the GIA. outside of milltary based recrument you would more then likley slowly start finding people with the skill set yet arnt trained in the skill.
influence
how much influnce are you going to let the spys have in gilneas? how will you deal with infiltration from rival agencies to planting assest's?
just remember that spys are powerfull tools and weapons. which can comeback and huant the GIA
have fun.
edit this may also be worth a little read

Loved the guide. I'll probably make some changes and stick it up on our website, been planning on putting some guides up there.
Right now we'd probably need to have the spymaster as myself or Dumon, because it'd take time to find someone else for the job and make sure they can do it. Although, if anyone volunteers OOC for that role we could work something out.
I think we'd also have an engineering branch to give our engineers more to do.

I'm not familiar with gilnean lore but to me it'd be feasible to assume that there was some
sort of agency involved with gilnean politics, espionage and infiltration when the wall was
intact. Working for corrupt nobles who influence the gilnean government!
If I were you I'd look into forming a small group of core RP'ers and brainstorm, that way you
get like minded individuals all involved in the creative broth of Gilnean Spy RP. Bear in mind
that there is already established worgen npc's within Si:7 so maybe just joining together
other worgen/gilnean spy RP'ers under the Si:7 umbrella but as a more gilnean dedicated unit.
I support this idea as then I can formulate my Strategic Homeland Elite Alliance
Law-enforcement Division idea! S.H.E.A.L.D. would be a co-operative unit using the best
of Si:7, SIA and GIA.
But seriously though, if you want to join in with Spec Ops type RP with your GIA characters
then look out for a future post about my SIA spec ops unit called 'Gryphons Talon'.
It'll encompass wrpvp, IC battlegrounds and DM'd events.
