Open World RP is the epicentre of the game's broader political stage. This is where alliances forge and break treaties, declare and march to war, argue philosophy and pedantry. All posting pertaining to the alliance-based political structure of the game is designated in this area. This forum is not for trade requests or tech deals! Please refer to this forum for those activities. Foreign aid requests are not for this forum; they go here.



Roleplay - Roleplay is acting, speaking, or playing in any manner that doesn't reflect you the player. Roleplay is make believe. It's fiction at its finest. It's not real. Therefore, anything you roleplay does not happen in real life. It has no effect on the game mechanics at all, it is simply used to amplify the experience of you, the player on this site.

In Character (IC) - In Character means that the player is speaking as the leader of their nation or some other citizen of the fictional Cyber Nations world. Anything said is spoken from the viewpoint of that character and has no bearing on the player's emotions or feelings in real life. Forums labeled as In-Character within the Open World RP Forum must adhere to this posting style. References to game mechanics, forums, and IRC are permitted but references to "real life" are not. A degree of OOC commentary is permissible so long as it does not make up the majority of your post, and only given that it is labeled with an "OOC:" designation.

Out of Character (OOC) - Out of Character means the player is speaking as themselves, a human sitting at a computer, playing a game. As this posting style is "beyond the game" it is expected that players will treat it as such and not bring personal feuds or broader conflicts into OOC forums. References prohibited in IC forums are permissible here within the limits of the forum rules.



Open World RP - This is an OOC subforum. In fact, it is the OOC forum for discussion of global politics and the game itself as it pertains thereof. Statistical compilations, OOC commentary and reflections, and anything else OOC should go in this forum. Threads that are not OOC will be promptly moved by moderators to the appropriate area. Threads not directly relating to Cyber Nations should be directed to The Water Cooler. Announcements and reminders from the moderation staff will be made in this forum.

Alliance Announcements - This is an IC subforum. Alliance representatives may come here to post -- you guessed it -- announcements, updates, reports, newsletters, and the like. Whether it's a treaty, declaration of war, or just a restatement of policy, if your alliance has something official to say this is the place to say it. (Remember that alliance recruitment topics still go here).

World Affairs - This is an IC subforum. The hub of happenings in Cyber Nations, members of independent nations and alliances alike gather here for juicy gossip and drama alike. Discussions of trends and happenings on the political scene, of philosophy, of policy, and of anything else relating to game-driven politics that is IC goes in here.
