Out of curiosity, I would like collect a list of all nations who have accepted Wawa training in their nations. You could indicate if your nation has allowed only military and law enforcement to take this martial arts up to small unit tactics training or if the entire citizenry is allowed to take this training.
For the moment, only martial arts, stealth, small unit tactics, abstract gaming and small unit leadership training has been taught. Some governments may have limited some of the more advanced lessons to be taught only to military or whatever. The one thing that is taught to all is the martial arts and the abstract games.
You could also add if your nation would be part of a competition network to compete with what has been learned.
The benefits of listing here is that if any roleplay a war against a non-Wawi trained force… consider that a Wawi trained force is similar to the http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Angosian of the Star Trek Next Generation. One soldier was able to take out the Enterprise’s best technicians in terms of out-thinking them (and Angosian tech is lower than Starfleet), this soldier also managed to outfight Worf and other security personnel at the same time. They would be similar but get the abilities through martial arts training, which means the more training, the better the results. Wawi strategists could be similar to the Zakdorn | Memory Alpha | Fandom of the Star Trek Next Generation, except that they are not arrogant, but rather humble, arrogance would interfere with strategic thought (overestimating an opponent is wiser than allowing oneself to underestimate.
So just state it in this thread if your nation is investing into this religious philosophy about bravery and battles.
Since i already posted in the other thread that your Wawis would be allowed in Drakkengard, i guess you can place it on the list.
Limitations: Small unit tactics and leadership can be taught only to military personal, and only to those above enlisted rank. The rest, including stealth can be taught to all (even civilians).
I will need more information on your idea of competion network before deciding if Drakkengard would be part.
The Kandarin Federation hasn’t accepted Wawis, because a) As a non-EP nation, they never got the communique, and b) if what I’ve gathered about the Wawa is at all accurate, the Elvish warrior cadres of House Damis (who are the core of the Federation’s military) have practiced what is essentially the same philosophy for millenia. Sending Wawis to them would be like the Southern Baptists sending missionaries to the Baptist General Conference to tell them that they’ve “got it all wrong”.
[RPAdmin]As an aside, it’s up to individual RPers to decide what sort of impact, if any, the Wawa will have on their nation’s warmaking abilities. You are expected to be reasonable. Thank you.[/RPAdmin]
[OOC]Eto… isn’t Philosophy something of choice? I mean the Fae laugh at all of the rest of you for your pitiful attempts at trying to seem superior when in fact you only hurt yourself and all that around you, just showing how inferior all of you savages are. For the Fae, Wawis are only just another figment of your astounding imagination. But false all the same.
Sorry, Kand. Should have told him to move this thread to OOC RP Discussions… But you know how fast i often have go around here(busy, busy…). And sorry for the hostility on the ball too. But i think an elf in power armor would worry anyone… Specially someone that didn´t knew they even exist.
Despite the fact every adult in Drakkengard is taught those things during their time as conscript i think it was a good idea to accept the wawis. Because if those who got out of the military decide to go to ShaKhac religion, i just found a way to get them more military training! And no one will complain!(freedom of belief) Maybe they´ll even fight better because they believe in battle as a way to enlightment. And i save tactics and leadership training only to my military leaders because then i can learn what they have to offer, pick whatever good idea they have and add to my army without confusing the minds of those who will be led.
p.s.: Nice avatar The Faeyas. But caution with that superior attitude in the RPs, my characters came from a xenophobic country, so hearing a foreigner calling them inferiors and savages is bound to get things ugly… Last time FPS had to bring a MIG to stop one of my own…
Excerpt from article “Wawa practitioners gain peace from war”, L’Étoile, December 6, 2007.
…was first introduced to Kelssek by immigrants from ShogunKhan, including two Wawai priests specifically sent as missionaries by that nation’s government this year, plenty of new members have been drawn to what has been described as something between a religion, a martial art, and a philosophy. It’s a small but growing group, estimated at about 500 in the Outineau area and around 8,000 nationwide.
Says Mark Andrews, a Desjardins University undergraduate who took it up this year and a former provincial age-group karate champion, “I was initially put off by the idea that it was some kind of military kind of thing, but in fact it was much more satisfying than other martial arts I’ve done because of the additional sides of it.”
Controversially, firearms training is part of Wawa; however in Kelssek at least, this aspect has been severely restricted by our strict gun laws…
