The Resistance
Day 1492: From occupied London.
They almost caught me in one of their sweeps. I was riding down an almost empty Oxford Street, my papers and possesions in tow, when their tank rounded the corner. The French flag was clear to be seen on the prow, and I thought I'd had it. They were sure to take and check the bottle of wine in my backpack, sure to check inside the loaf of Warbuton's finest. Check them, and find the encoded messages within.
I knew what I was signing up for. Life in the Resistance is meant to be hard, meant to be a sacrifice. That knowledge does not prepare you! The first time you see a French tank, your heart will leap. When they stop you to check your papers, it'll beat faster. And as they reach into their pocket your mind will race- what will they pull out? Perhaps a cigarette, merely passing the time by feeding a habit. Perhaps a pen, to sign your papers to show where you've travelled. Or maybe, they'll be pulling out their gun, to shoot you dead on the spot. Have they found out? That moment is one of the most tense you will ever experience. One of the most tense, and one of the most exhilerating!
The French soldiers on patrol around the Louvre, in anticipation of retaliatory terror attacks
It's moments like that one, with the enemy stood before my very eyes, that make life worth living in this hell of an occupation. To know that, inevitably, the moron will pull out his cigarette because:
a) he obviously smokes and cares little for his duty in a garrison and
b) he's French, since when did he care about paperwork, or have the intelligence to spot me as a member of the resistance,
and to dare him to do otherwise. To know that my mission will be accomplished, the resistance furthered, this gives my life meaning.
The soldier waved me on. I finished my journey and ended up in the back room of a starbucks just off Regent Street. There I passed on my cargo, the bread and wine, and my immediate superior smiled. It was a template for a new recruitment message for the resistance, he said.

"London is captured, our nation is under siege.
The French, their marauding legion, are here.
Rise up! Rise up now and stand fast!
Stand tall, and send a message to our oppressors:
We shall not be undone. You may have solace in victory for a time,
but we shall not be downtrodden; we shall not despair.
Though we have been damaged, we are not destroyed!
Rise up now, and join THE RESISTANCE!"
I smiled...
So there you have it- there's a new MU in the country and we'd like as many people to join up as possible.
The Government will be using this MU to give op to date and accurate orders to as many people as possible, in addition to supply drops, shout campaigns and a bit of fun in the Voice of the Resistance articles.
So please join up, shout, and volunteer to send invites. When we get more people in, how about volunteering to do some supply drops via shouts? There's plenty for everyone to do, to resist and to accomplish all that we can!

So.........another Gov MU alongside UKAF, UKSF etc... but with more RP?!
72nd
Better to just give up.
alfagrem: SAVE THEM
This MU makes no sense.
If you want to merge party MUs into one MU for easy coordination, should you ask the party MUs first. If you renamed TUP Family to "The Resistance" and got ESO Legion to join - that's 80% of players moved already.
If you want to merge all MUs into one MU or gather together all of the new players. Then you should rename UK Independant Forces and that's most of your new players sorted right away. Maybe move the army over for some credibility to encourge the parties to start moving.
Otherwise you are putting this effort in to get the very few people not already in a MU or party. 60 people are in a political party which doesn't have a MU - how many of those aren't in the military or UK Independant Forces? Then if a player would actually benefit from this - their damage would be crap anyway if they aren't getting supply or MU bonuses. Wouldn't it be better to get them into the military?
Other countries do this? Do other countries have party MUs? Were other countries so slow that a normal citizen did it first (celtgaerfelddafydd and UK Independant Forces - 800 players.)
TLDR:
It sounds like you had a nice ridea but haven't thought about the best way to implement it or even looked at the MU page to see if it's viable or been done already (It isn't and it has).
This is just yet another impotent minister trying to look active by making a new forum/IRC channel/MU so they can post about SOMETHING this month. Pathetic, weak and useless.
Oh and it seems like the UK Government is resigned to defeat this time and is already designing the new "we are perma wiped" roleplay. Where is the country that fought tooth and nail against multiple nations to keep London?
We need to get rid of current politicians and their happy ideas, and start gathering good tacticians, merge all military units could be a good idea if implemented properly, right now our military leaders run like beheaded chickens from battle to battle with no coordination at all, and every player from eUK is seeing the results.
If somebody now the names of the captains of the military units, please send me a PM, some of us will try to coordinate our efforts and save wathever we can if possible.
We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!!!
Here, is the country, that fought tooth and claw;
The inextinguishable spirit, ready for more;
We shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight on the beaches;
Everyone inspired by magnificent speeches;
In a millennia, on this Land of Hope and Glory;
They'll tell a story;
A powerful tale;
How the British resistance was never broken;
And the power of Lady Britannia will hail.
Weak that Talon won't even defend this too.
Merging all MUs may be a good idea but this 'implementation' is retarded, it's basically "make some roleplay and hope everyone spontaneously joins".
Nowhere does this article call for a merging of all MUs. And honestly Goku I suspect the reason Taln hasn't replied is because he has better things to do than answer you and he hates you.
what about the candian occupation of scotland and north england?
