Crvena Haringa: Explained the poetry

[[File:Ivan.png|thumb|The only known picture of Ivan, as of 9/12/2024|393x393px]]
Ivan (pronounced iivaan) is the older brother of Navi, NSA's mascot. He was the first astronaut on Mars, but was outshined by his under accomplishing younger brother, who stayed on Earth garnering fame. Ivan was able to hack Jacob Grady's call feed while he was explaining how good of a mascot Navi was on the Back to School Bash Thursday Lore call on 9/12/2024. He gave Navi a short ultimatum that he has a short time, to do what is not know, but it is most likely to give Ivan the fame he wants.

== Description ==
Ivan is the older brother of Navi, and he is extremely different from Navi. Ivan is obscure, only coming to light with his threat to Navi. His actually appearance is unknown, but he is tall, thin, and otherwise unknown. He used a blackout video filter on himself to hide his appearance on camera. Not much else is known about Ivan because of his obscurity.

== History ==
He is the older brother of Navi, and he was the first astronaut on Mars. He was outshined by Navi, who stayed on Earth garnering immense fame. Eventually Navi became NSA's mascot, and Ivan was left in the dust of obscurity. Angry, Ivan hijacked Jacob Grady's camera feed on the Back to School Bash Lore call on 9/12/2024, while Jacob was explaining how great Navi was. He gave Navi an Ultimatum of unknown circumstance, however below is a transcription of Ivan's cryptic message:

== Speculation ==
Many believe Ivan's name inspired Navi's name, simply being written backwards.

Ivan's next move is unknown, although some speculate he will bring chaos to all NSA.

=== Hudson's Post ===
On October 1, 2024, [[Hudson Brott]] posted this video in teams:

[[File:Take your rightful place king.webm|frameless|704x704px]]

In the video, he claimed that he created Ivan, and that he was responsible for all of Ivan's actions. There has been much debate over whether or not he truly did create Ivan.

== Ivan Poems ==
These are poems that have been posted by various wiki accounts on other random wiki pages. They have been moved here - good luck figuring out what in the world they mean

Note from the author: These poems were written to frame Hudson as being Ivan, which happened before he made his video. It didn't work. The second-to-last poem is of unknown origin; I did not write it.<poem style="border: 2px solid #113e60; background-color: #cee5f6; padding: .5em;">
The students go on Teams a lot;
It’s open to them each.
So some forget that there are not
Outsiders in its reach.
The Courtyard isn’t free to all.
The door’s not open wide.
If Ivan lurks within these walls,
Who let the man inside?
Who’d ever want poor Navi gone?
What soul would take our mascot on?
How many of us serve his whim,
Do anything to follow him?
</poem>

<poem style="border: 2px solid #113e60; background-color: #cee5f6; padding: .5em;">
Ivan wanted chaos. Ivan wanted war.
Ivan knew just what the school’s wargame would be for.
For years he’d gathered soldiers. For years he’d bided time.
“And now at last,” he told himself, “The Courtyard will be mine.”
</poem>

<poem style="border: 2px solid #113e60; background-color: #cee5f6; padding: .5em;">
He did not look like the man he played,
Too old to be a teenage boy.
To hide his face while plans were made,
He’d need a clever ploy.
</poem>

<poem style="border: 2px solid #113e60; background-color: #cee5f6; padding: .5em;">
Hostages taken against their will
By a man so evil, I get a chill
Their memory gone, no one knows
That they were set up in a simple pose.
</poem>

<poem style="border: 2px solid #113e60; background-color: #cee5f6; padding: .5em;">
No need to rush, no need to race.
He’d make a slow and steady pace.
He’d win the war and earn first place,
But never, ever, show his face.
His space suit rested in the hall.
“A perfect helmet,” Ivan said.
“But too unique to fool them all…
In war, it won’t protect my head.
I need a new one. Something bold.
A comfy mask that won’t get old.
A plastic one? Or one of steel?
Or the kind that racers wear at the wheel?
Hmm…”
</poem>

NSA: The Game

2024-09-16T08:04:44Z

Crvena Haringa: Added a short poem

With wars between factions frequently occurring at NSA, I, [[Graham Shaw]] (first of his name, advisor to Lord [[Hudson Brott]] of the [[Hudson Fan Club]], Duke of the Ducks, Grahama Wormtongue, “A mix of Jim Carrey, a Dungeon Master, and Smeagol,” and so on and so forth), have decided to create a formal war-gaming system made for the purpose of determining victors of war through everyone’s favorite means: tactics, statistics, and unfathomable violence.

== COMPONENTS ==
NSA: the Game, is meant to be played on a board. This could be a paper with cover and similar things for soldiers to duck behind placed on it, or you could use a virtual board. The system this was originally designed to be used on is Roll20, though you could theoretically use any system, provided you’re willing to put in the effort of porting the rules over. Units are represented by paper or models that depict the specified unit. Dice, such as six-sided (called a d6), ten-sided (d10), or twenty-sided (d20) are used to determine damage, whether an attack hits, and whether certain abilities succeed.

== GENERAL RULES ==

=== TROOPS AND CHARACTERS ===

==== Troops ====
Troops are the average soldier on the battlefield. They might have unique attacks or abilities based on what kind of troop they are, but they pale in comparison to characters. Characters are the personal unit of a player. They act as commanders of lesser troops, and have more abilities and power than the average soldier.

==== Manpower ====
In battle, both sides have a “Manpower” stat which is determined by the number of people in either side’s group. Manpower is used to show how many soldiers you can bring into battle, with different units costing different amounts of Manpower. A faction's Manpower is determined by the number of people in it multiplied by two. Manpower Values for different units are specified later. Characters do not cost Manpower.

==== Items ====
Units can be upgraded using Items. Units that are given Items cost extra Manpower, but are given new abilities by their newfound gadgets and weapons. Special Items, such as Artifacts, have to be found before they can be used. Once an Artifact is found, it can be used by the faction that owns it until it is taken from them when the Artifact’s wielder is slain in battle, or is traded away.

==== Abilities ====
Certain units or items have abilities, which can be activated to perform special actions, grant buffs, or inflict debuffs. Abilities can be selected to occur similarly to an attack, or can simply automatically happen when certain conditions are met. The activation conditions are specified in the ability’s card.

=== CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE ===
If a larger army loses a battle against a smaller army, or they suffer a pyrrhic victory (Where they are left with 15% of their original soldiers alive), they roll on the debuff table as their army is weakened by their failure. Simultaneously, the smaller army rolls on the buff table, as they benefit from their improbable victory. Debuffs and buffs remain until they are removed with an ability, the affected army wins a battle, or the war ends. Units with the Expendable trait do not count towards a pyrrhic victory when they are killed, but simultaneously do not benefit from buffs.

==== Debuff Table (Roll 1d6) ====
1-2: Army Demoralized: All units suffer a -2 to all RA and MA checks.

3-4: Equipment Damaged: All damage rolls suffer a -1 penalty.

5-6: Recruitment Slowed: The affected army has 10% less Manpower.

==== Buff Table (Roll 1d6) ====
1-2: Morale Boosted: All units gain a +2 to all RA and MA checks.

3-4: Stole Enemy Equipment: All damage rolls gain a +1 bonus.

5-6: Recruitment Inspired: The affected army has 10% more Manpower.

=== MAKING PEACE AND FORMING ALLIANCES ===
Peace can be made in a multitude of ways. It can be achieved by one side conquering all of their war objectives, one side surrendering, or by forming a peace treaty with certain terms and conditions for both sides (Think of the Treaty of Versailles, or something similar). Alliances can be made either by agreement between the leaders, a condition in a treaty, or similar diplomatic arrangements such as a political marriage. Alliances and treaties make for fun role playing scenarios, so be sure to try to implement that aspect if you and your enemies/allies like the idea of roleplaying a defeated leader begrudgingly signing a defeat treaty, or a disgruntled prince/princess suddenly discovering that they are to marry some random guy from a rival faction because their parent doesn't want war.

== STATS AND THEIR PURPOSES ==
Different units have different statistics. However, they all collectively share some basic traits: Hit Points (Shortened to HP) which determines how much damage a unit can take before it dies, Ranged Ability (Shortened to RA) which determines how good a unit is with ranged weapons, Melee Ability (Shortened to MA) which determines how good a unit is with melee weapons, and Defense (Shortened to D) which determines how good a unit is by resisting damage. d20s are used when rolling checks that involve these stats.

Weapons also have their own statistics, though they are simpler than unit statistics. They are Range (R), Ranged Damage (RD), and Melee Damage (MD). Range shows the range of a weapon, shown in inches. A bow, for example, might have a range of 10, meaning it can only fire at enemies that are ten inches away or less. Melee weapons do not have a range, and can only attack enemies that their models are touching. Ranged Damage and Melee Damage both refer to the weapon’s damage in close and long range. Using the example of a bow, a bow might deal 1d6+2 Ranged Damage, meaning it does one 6 sided die of damage when landing a ranged attack. It might also deal 1d6-1 Melee Damage, meaning it deals one 6 sided die minus one damage when landing a melee attack.

As an example, say an Rifleman was to shoot his rifle at a nearby enemy Knight, making a Ranged Ability Check. If the Rifleman had an RA of 10, he would need to roll a twenty sided die (d20). If he received a roll of 10 or higher, the attack would hit. The Rifleman would then need to roll to see if the attack penetrated the Knight’s armor. If the Knight has a D of 14, the Rifleman would roll a d20. If the result was 14 or higher, the attack hits, and the Rifleman would then roll damage, subtracting the damage roll’s result from the enemy unit’s HP. Once a unit loses all of its HP, it is destroyed.

Navi

2024-09-14T00:59:27Z

Crvena Haringa: Added a short poem

[[File:Navi.png|thumb|325x325px|A drawing of Navi]]
Navi is the extremely popular and famed mascot of Northstar Academy. He has been famous for over half a decade, but only became the mascot 2 years ago (as of 2024).

== History ==
Navi has been popular for years on end, ever since he first put on his space suit and traveled the world and beyond, he has been famous. Though some were skeptical because no one saw his space launches, they’ve all be shot down with the [[Truth Corrupted|truth]]. Navi is the greatest astronaut ever, even beating [[Allen Hester]] in trips to space.

Notes:

Mr. Navi sat on his pride.

He hid his knowledge of Ivan inside.

And all the school's teachers and all the school's staff

Were fooled, as Navi, in secret, did laugh.
