Four Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 I have a suggestion... (not sure if this was already mentioned). We could create a subforum to NatRP, where different rules apply than to the regular NatRP forum. For example, the "consent" rule would not have to apply there, and as Schwieger, Shex (and others) have mentioned the "ignore-cannon" could be used instead. Rules there would be based upon what the players there want (e.g. no consent rule). Just a suggestion. This is going to happen ONLY AFTER the Nat RP forums are 'fixed' and everyone is happy there.

Four Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 This seemed to have simmered down. I'll be updating the rules as per what you guys requested and talked about here - if there are any objections, your time to speak up is NOW! Remember this is for Nat RP. Once this is settled, we will move on to the Free RP like we discussed. Quote It was a pleasure serving this community - Stay Frosty!

Wolfie Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 what are we going to be changing/updating the rule, and we should wait until a majority of the community has voiced their opinion to not start some unrest or lack of unity. This is on the OOC sub-forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Here are the proposed Rule Changes for Nat RP. I tried to make the rules more clear as well as expand on them a bit to ensure everyone is on the same page. The National Affairs Sub-Forum's purpose is to allow players to role play specific events related to their nations. In-game references can be made, such as; wars, surrenders, embargoes..etc, as long as it relates to the topic being discussed. Please read and understand the additional rules, guidelines, and proper posting etiquette before participating in PW National Role Play.Sub-Forum Rules: All standard forum rules apply, click here for the standard forum rules. Impersonation of other alliances or players or their likenesses is simply not tolerated. You are expected to maintain a positive attitude in this community - disrespect to other players is a rule violation. National RP Guidelines Players should RP within their own means. What this means is although you are using your in-game nation - which may have its own 'theme' - things should remain within the realm and scope of the Orbis world and your nation. You must make reasonable posts and requests from other players in this community. You are not allowed to take control of other nations without explicit consent from that nation leader. You must consult with any player/nation that your RP is interacting/engaging with. National RP Posting Etiquette 1.) You are to remain within your own means. This means that you cannot overnight things for your nation. For example: One day you have modern technology/weapons and then the next day you post that you have the most advanced technology/weapons. This isn't to say that you cannot develop your technology, or for that matter, anything in your nation. This is just saying that you actually have to RP the transition and growth of your nation to make it fair for the rest of the RP community. Many nations have a theme built right into them - these themes are derived from RL lore and are also made up of personal lore (lore created by an individual). That being said all lore should be posted in [this thread] so that you know what people are using and you know how you can adapt to National RP with your nation. 2.) You have the option to allow or disallow OOC/IC chatter in your thread. This means that should you make an RP story/event that you would like to discuss in another thread, you simply post in your OP of your story/event that a new thread will be created for discussion. Within your OP you can also state that this story/event is only between 'select' players - just to keep the RP a bit more clean. When you create a new thread for the OOC discussions you will use the same topic, but just add a tag like [OOC] or [OOC Discussion] - then in the OP of that new thread, you just link the community to your IC topic for ease-of-access. This system allows for a cleaner RP for everyone. You also have the option to carry on your IC discussion through other platforms like IRC (if you're ancient), Discord, Skype, etc...etc.. 3.) This is National RP - Not a 140 Character Status Update.Players of this community are expected to put a little bit more effort than just a few random words in an OP. This is a role playing community, where you role play your nation and your nation's life story. In order for a proper dialogue to develop, players in this community must put in a little effort. For Example: BlackBox is a National RP member. He has a modern nation and he plays within the lore of Modern Day America. This is his post this evening: "President BlackBox of the United States of Box won today's election at 97% of the national vote." Nobody replied to his post and it got lost in the topic view. Why? Because he used his time to create a status update instead of giving the community something to build off. There is no creativity and there is no effort. They key here is to just provide a little more effort with your story and with replying to other player's stories. 4.) You are not God. Simply - you cannot just snap your fingers and make something happen (besides a snapping sound) in Real Life...and that same thing happens here. You are not invincible, you are not unbeatable, you don't have the 'best' of anything..you are not a god. You can't destroy nations at the stroke of a key, you can't take over the world one handed...do you see where I'm going with this? You can't decide to just take over airspace, bodies of water, or land that doesn't belong to you. You can't force yourself on a nation and take them over....c'mon guys do I need to continue? This etiquette ruling falls under playing within your means as well as the consent rule. Sure, maybe you have some awesome tech - but you need to RP it correctly. Sure, you might win battles or you might take over land, but it needs to happen the correct way. Through consent, shared RP stories/events.... You are not God. National RP Moderation It is to be understood that Moderation has the final say in regards to reports made or any rule violation. It should also be understood that select moderators are put in charge to oversee this RP Community. These moderators have put in time and effort to help rectify issues and will continue to work with the community and assist the community with whatever is needed to help the RP Community run smoothly and continue to be a source of entertainment. That being said, each member of this community most Read & Understand these rules as they have been provided to you. Any post in this community is an assumption that you have read & understood each rule - therefore - should you post something that is a violation to these rules Moderation will point you right back to this thread. A violation is a violation. Thank you and enjoy Politics & War National Role Play! 1 Quote It was a pleasure serving this community - Stay Frosty!

Wolfie Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 my only thing I would question is this This is National RP - Not a 140 Character Status Update. Players of this community are expected to put a little bit more effort than just a few random words in an OP. This is a role playing community, where you role play your nation and your nation's life story. In order for a proper dialogue to develop, players in this community must put in a little effort. Maybe for updates or statements where we can't really stretch the post, just curious. But other than that looks nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe for updates or statements where we can't really stretch the post, just curious. But other than that looks nice IMO you can't have it both ways. If you are going to post something, expand on it or wait until your RP story develops. The whole idea with this Nat RP going stagnant is because of the failure to maintain a creative atmosphere. I'm not asking for you to develop pages and pages of RP for one event, but you should at least attempt to provide some type of substance. This is also not saying that we are going to be sticklers on these types of post - setting a precedent in the rules allows for a structure to develop so that when new RP people come in they can see that structure and fall in line. The majority of this RP Community provides substantial, quality, posts to this type of RP. This is just to protect the integrity of your time and effort and to force an interaction between players to continue to develop RP together or on their own. 1 Quote It was a pleasure serving this community - Stay Frosty!

You need to have at least a good paragraph to introduce whats going on if you're going to add onto it Quote Ex-Archduke of Defence for BK 3 minutes ago, Buorhann said: @Lelouch Vi Britannia - BK needs you, but they really don't deserve you.
