OOC: A simple poll. Do you think there are too many RP-worlds?

Since the split in RP between CNRP and CNRPS (and now I am seeing something called CNRPR), is anyone like me going to just become confused and subsequently lose interested in RP because they won't be able to keep track of who does what to whom in which world?

And I have to seriously wonder if whenever people don't get their way they'll just go off and start their own world. I can see this spiraling out of control.

And for the record, if I RP with anyone I am assuming they are in the same world as me - as I don't recognise separate RP worlds and am not going to bother to keep track who is where.

Unfortunately I’m going to cover my bases and play the same basic nation and character in all realms simultaneously.
Please disregard the continuity snarl from hell.

One RP world is confusing enough. If there's going to be these spinoffs, they shouldn't be in the same forum.

My thoughts exactly. Unfortunately the mods aren't going to make another forum, and with the old layout we had three forums that weren't really used, and could have filled the roles for forums for CNRPS/R/etc.

[Generalissimo]

This sort of thing is why I was so adamantly opposed to the world map and the creation of CNRP, back in the days of loose continuity this would have never been an issue.

I agree with mastab. These need to be in separate forums. It was enough having one world in one forum.

Botha, you know Arctica is in CNRP. The only other world I'm a part of is CNRPS and any threads I make with it are going to be clearly marked as such. My tribe there also has no relation to my CNRP nation.

OOC: I wanted to get involved in RP but CNRP looked full and too developed for a noob starting out. Limiting RP to just one world is, well, snobbish.

OK, then I assume that means I am also in CNRP because frankly I'm confused ad wasn't sure

[Maelstrom Vortex]

I second Sal's thoughts. To each their own form of creativity. The mods have ruled on this topic.

You'd be welcome to, you should really make your map claim and rp your foundation in cnrps then.

OOC: I agree. It's very hard to become part of CNRP. One forum for putting the spin offs in would be the best solution.

The problem with any world based a world map is that it inherently blocks new arrives once all the territory taken.

A rule requiring nations to give land to noobs with reasonable claims would be good.

Same here, that's my plan too... probably will work too cause I'm located in a generally unwanted corner of the world. Heck I can't even give some of my land away when I try!

[Maelstrom Vortex]

The ideal solution would be to create a few subforums. SCI-FI, Fantasy, Traditional, Scenario-Based.

I think that trying to eliminate other rps as a response to this problem is actually relatively offensive and irreverent given how hard of work other players could be putting into them.

I would say that one CNRP world is needed. Singular RPs are ok, but other worlds should have off site forums.

Not possible, we do not want to force members to sign into other forums as it would take away from the traffic that helps to fund this site. That, and we have an equal right to be here.

Where is someone supposed to play after being annihilated or denied territory?
I personally don’t like any system where you can be easily destroyed, where once you’ve been rolled that’s it, especially based on in-game stats, I get enough of that from the Technology Raiders. Any unaligned periphery nation would find it impossible to move their stats to the standard role playable level.

The exclusiveness of CNRP is what brought the current situation upon us.

[Isotope]

I do not and will not recognize other worlds other than CNRP. Until a map of another RP world is stickied, then I will continue to do so.

[Botha]

I have to agree with Maelstrom Vortex, only because the new forum layout is also part of the problem. There are waaaaaay too many threads going on in too small a space, I'm really hating everytime trying to find the few ongoing threads I participate it. Now I have to sift through and figure out 'is that thread relevant to my world?'

Personally I think the reorganisation of the forums was a big step backwards.

I guess if people (like myself) have to start bookmarking threads just so they can find them a few hours or a day later... that tells me it is a sign that the forums aren't working well.
