OPEN REBELLION IN KALAHARI!!!
MINISTER MALIKA KINGBE AND HER GANG OF BANDITS REVOLT!
PEACE OF THE KINGDOM DISTURBED BY DEVELOPMENTS!
IS SLAVE TRADER MRKINGBE INVOLVED IN HIS WIFE'S TREASON? LADY CIANELLE CELEBRATION RUINED BY HORRID ACTIONS KING DISMISSES TRAITOROUS MINISTER MALIKA

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the first time in decades, the peace of the Kingdom was fractured, and, in this case, most treacherously, from within. The faithless Minister Malika Kingbe, formerly a highly respected and competent Minister of Interior Affairs, gathered a band of cutthroats and other miscreants, and attempted to overthrow the noble rule of King Hassan Ibn Trrrol.

The dastardly plot began in an innocent setting, the celebration of the granting of a Slave Trading License to the prosperous international businesswoman Lady Cianelle.

The celebration began smoothly with some remarks from Minister Afraa al Abid, and some warm and complimentary words from King Hassan, while the audience applauded the new entrepreneur, especially when she gave the generous gift of a Treasure Chest from her native land.

The large audience listened intently to the King's words, confident that the harmony which has ruled the Kingdom during his long reign, would continue forever.

Large Crowd listens intently to the King

Little did they know that peace would be broken by traitorous actions within the hour! A tasty luncheon was served to the luminaries, including the King attended by his slaves dara and Nada, the elegant Ambassador of the Wakiyo Empire Akitsuki, Captain John Sinclair (Jack) Docherty, whose ship the Red Rascal is known as a pirat errr an efficient trader, and a "redistributor of maritime wealth," (and who donated a gold bar to the King in an act of extraordinary generosity,) the Guest of Honor Lady Cianelle, Minister Afraa, the slave Jane Rhodes, and finally Minister Malika Kingbe, who broke bread with her monarch just minutes before fomenting a rebellion to overthrow him!

Cleverly, Malika did not initiate the trouble herself, but allowed her impetuous slave MOTIAA to openly insult the King, waving a battle axe around, and refusing to be silent when the King commanded it. Though she made a halfhearted effort to silence the slave, in hindsight, Malika allowed her property publicly to insult the King, mumble about " a scola do samba of Brazil," and then used this as a pretext to summon her band and storm off to the Kingbe compound. In the meantime, her mindless thug Minghus was defacing the Ministry building, and attempting to sow seeds of mistrust between the King and Minister Afraa, which. of course, failed miserably.

WANTED: Rebel Slave MOTIAA

When a peaceful diplomatic mission led by Minister Afraa, accompanied by Ambassador Akitsuki and Captain Jack Docherty, approached the Kingbe compound to attempt a peaceful end to Malika's foolish actions they were met by cold refusal, a fortified compound, insolent slaves, and a not-at-all-threatening kitty cat named Redy.

WANTED Rebel Malaak

Other slaves of the Kingbe household are also wanted for questioning, to see the extent of this coup plot and to ascertain what punishments must be given out by the angry King.

WANTED for Questioning Slave Zero

Also in question is the involvement of MRKINGBE, one half of what must be considered a traitorous union. The security forces of the King are already seeking the slave trader, who must be brought to justice to answer for his wife's traitorous actions, as well as his other very questionable activities.

WANTED for Questioning Maliaja

The evil actions of Minister Malika and her Malicious Marauders of Mayhem culminated in vicious acts of vandalism at the Landing, in the Royal Garden, and in a wretched attempt to stop Minister Afraa from her work in the Ministry, while sowing seeds of mistrust and terror among all good Kalaharians.

But it is a sign of the inner strength of the Kingdom, and the moral courage of the King, that these wretched attacks were immediately overthrown by the Monarch,

OPENING ROLEPLAY EVENT, LADY CIANELLE CELEBRATION
WEDNESDAY, 23 NOVEMBER 2016, 12:30 PM SLT, THE TAVERN
(PICK UP GM METER/WEAPONS AT THE LANDING, WEAR ON WEDNESDAY)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Salaam/Greetings to all members from both factions ^^

Hope all of you are doing well for the next upcoming event of Lady Cianelle's celebration, preparing for rp, coup plans...whatever it is!

Lady Cianelle

So, as stated above, we're just trying to give reminders that we will hold a celebration to celebrate Lady Cianelle success of getting the trader license. The event will be held at the Tavern, Wednesday, 23 November 2016, 12:30 PM SLT.

Nada Syuhada doing weapons training

Well, well, we all know that the celebration will be an excuse to deepen our roleplay and to create momentum and make the plot more complicated before the actual war/combat/raid.

Lady Cianelle for example suggested that she will gift the King a slave, but she did not know that the slave have been replaced with an assassin. The assassin slave, Angelica (Steffen983), will try to kill the King (please note that there will be no killing - just an unsuccessful attempt), If the King is present on Wednesday, the attempt can be made then. If he can not come, the slave can cause some disturbance, then there will be conflict between the factions, and false accusations made against the Attack Team regarding this issue, which will cause more tension and anger for the next rp part. Angelica can be locked up in the Justice Center dungeon (lower level) and that might point toward the next step--an escape attempt, or an attempt by the Attack Team to free her. When the King comes to examine her (if he is not at the celebration), she can attempt the assassination then.

But, other members from each team are welcome to bring their own stories. Will that be mouthy slaves who spread rumors in the event, causing fights, riot, abduction, trying to hurt or poison the king's girls etc.? All of these ideas and more.can be used to make the rp more interesting.

So come in character and we RP! Good luck to both sides.

Below are the teams as they are currently set up for the Coup Plot. If you have additions, or want to join one team or the other, please tell Nada, or Afraa. Also there are many roles for neutrals, traitors and so on. The goal is to have FUN.

ATTACK TEAM

MRKINGBE2, Malika Kingbe, Malaak, Motiaa, SuziCohen, Karima, ibtisam

DEFENSE TEAM

King Hassan, MissPrith, Magdy, Afraa, dara, Nada, Diana Geesink, Abu

KING HASSAN CALLS FOR A CELEBRATION IN HONOR OF LADY CIANELLE!
KALAHARI CELEBRATES GRANTING HER A SLAVE TRADER LICENSE!

CELEBRATION TAKES PLACE AMIDST GROWING TENSIONS AND MEETINGS!

EVENT TAKES PLACE ON WEDNESDAY, 23 NOVEMBER 2016, 12:30 PM SLT

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A harried looking King Hassan Ibn Trrrol announced some good news to the Kingdom. He stated that there will be an event to celebrate and honor Lady Cianelle for becoming a licensed slave trader in the Kingdom.

All citizens and visitors are welcomed to come and celebrate this event, and the King wants all to know there will be a strong security presence in this time of heightened tensions, and unsolved crimes.

As everyone in Kalahari is aware, the profession of slave trading can be quite lucrative. One need only look at the magnificent mansion built by the well known slave trader Sir Kingbe, and his wife, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Malika, for confirmation of the profits to be made in the slave trade. Their spacious home may be larger than the Trrol Palace itself, and certainly matches the King's residence for its social standing.

But, there are rumors of significant political moves, that this event might become the turning point of dramatic changes in the prosperous Kingdom of Kalahari. With the current situation, and hot rumors that now there are two "kings" in Kalahari, (It is well known that Kingbe likes to be called "King," and his wife's name, Malika, means Queen,) the once united citizens of Kalahari are now divided into two factions led by two powerful figures, creating tension, anticipation, and wild rumors concerning what should be a joyous celebration.

One can only pray to Allah, to give HIS blessing and protection as all Kalaharians fear a return to the bloodshed and tribal strife that preceded the present King's reign!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

((COUP PLOT ROLE PLAY DESCRIPTION))

As many of you know, we are planning a multiplayer role play, that should extend for some weeks.

The teams are being formed (one for Kingbe, one for the King,) and each team's members will be published before Wednesday. If you wish to join a faction, please give your name to Nada Syuhada as soon as possible.

There is also room for neutrals, who may add to the overall role play. You do NOT need to fight, or be familiar with the GM Meter, and weapons, to take part. Text role play will also be a part of this ongoing event.

Speaking of weapons, the GM Meter, and some basic weapons (Bow, Sword, Battle Axe,) are available free from dispensers at the Landing. In addition, if you want some training, please see Nada Syuhada or dara Paulino, as they will be happy to help, time permitting. You also may use your own weapons, subject to common sense rules.

Nada Syuhada

dara Paulino

The key rules to follow, however, display basic fairness. There is to be no flying, no killing, no ridiculous tricks to subvert the spirit of the role play. The King has graciously given us freedom: there is no preordained conclusion to this role play: the success in planning, and in fighting battles will determine the basi story line.

The roles are limited only by your creativity. In addition to the King, and nobles, free citizens and slaves can choose, or invent, exciting role play: spies, traitors, cold blooded business leaders who wait to see which side is winning so they can profit, and so on.

The first drama in this role play will take place at the celebration of Lady Cianelle. We are looking for some minor characters (slaves, poor citizens etc.) to get into a disagreement, which becomes a fight. Though not a major fight, it will escalate, how the disturbance is handled will cause even more hard feelings, and the tension grows.

COME AND ENJOY AS KALAHARI PLAYS!!!
