 Priceless.
I like the idea of a Chinese Empire emerging. I find that far more likely. Perhaps armed with Soviet nukes, or in corroboration with the resurging Soviets? You could also add in the Arabs as another element in the mix. |

Check out the LotR RPG section.
Basically you assume an identity, and then you write in third-party dialogue about what your character is doing. But keep it reasonable.
An example post would be like this.
Rammaz viewed the facility with his binoculars. Years of training had prepared him for this. The Arab guards were milling around the place, keeping maybe half an eye out for intruders, probably more like a quarter. Fools. Sure they were deep inside Arab territory, but anyone who had picked a fight with the Israelis before knew that was no security.
Rammaz pulled out his handgun, and screwed a silencer on.
"PHOOM! PHOOM PHOOM PHOOM PHOOM!"
5 dead Arab guards lay in front of the campground. Hit dead-on each time, the Arabs fell without a cry.
Rammaz put his gun in his holster, stole an ID card from a dead guard and swiped it through the computer system. He was in the building.
Silenced handgun out, he made his way through back corridors to the power core. A precisely aimed handgun round brought down the entire facility.
Rammaz bolted for it, shooting everything he met along the way, which wasn’t much, for nobody suspected an intruder, and he had taken off so fast nobody had time to reach the power core.
Out of the facility, he hopped in a Dodge Viper and floored it. He’d be back in Israeli territory within a couple hours.
That may be pushing making your character to strong, but hey, he’s a Mossad agent. |

| Considering that he had to use binoculars, and that he hit dead-on each time with a handgun...yeah, that’s only a slight bit of god-modding. |

| If he was using binoculars, I somehow doubt that he was firing at close range... |

He was looking at the facility thru the binoculars, not the guards. These idiots were probably out for their evening walk.
Or else he had a hangun-sized sniper rifle.... |
| Never kid about politicians. The more bizarre the joke, the more likely it is to come true. |

| Sounds like fun. I’m in. Can I be SAS or are the British not involved? |
