Subtleknifewielder Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 The Silver Revolution in Franzharian East Africa is the only time I can recall having something occur to my nation in RP that I did not have final control over - although it did go in a direction coincidently I wanted to move towards, which is why I didn't call "mulligan" and I allowed it to proceed. You just illustrated my point exactly...you went along with it even though you were unsure of the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botha Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) You just illustrated my point exactly...you went along with it even though you were unsure of the outcome. I went along with it because I wanted out and it was a convenient and coincidental means which suddenly landed on my lap to extract myself from Somalia.

JerreyRough Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 A good person will inform their opponent that they are attacking via PM at the least, and hopefully work out a thing or two about the coming roleplay. I'm against 'wars for lulz', and would prefer that everyone had the common decency to be sure that all of the involved people are having fun roleplaying, and not just yourself. We must remember the core purpose for roleplaying and falter very little from that. But people must remember one other thing: when you roleplay, you must recognize the power of your actions, and bad things may happen to your IC nation based on what your country does. Thus we must all remember and abide by one thing: know what the consequences of your actions are. If you do something IC, then people may react to it, sometimes violently and possibly making a war, so you should recognize it (unless its obviously 'wars for lulz'). Remove. People should grow spines. Are you calling everyone who wants to avoid "wars for the lulz" and keep CNRP serious cowards? Because that is a fairly insulting and broad statement. I also find that statement somewhat insulting. Putting some decency into all corners of CNRP is a good thing that helps gain a better community, and is most certainly not a spineless thing whatsoever.

Subtleknifewielder Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I should probably note my opinion shouldn't count as much as some...I can count the number of wars I've been in on one hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botha Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I should probably note my opinion shouldn't count as much as some...I can count the number of wars I've been in on one hand. The strange thing is that despite my 'avoidence' of RP wars, Transvaal has actually been in a lot of wars... probably more so than most other nations, because my IG wars cross-over into my RP. So last thing I need is moar war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing to ignore the stupidity that was the recent random nukings, but completely another for cowards like you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberstein Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I've made my stance on why I ignore certain people known, it isn't just their war RP I ignore, it is everything they do because I simply cannot trust them OOC from what I've seen of their actions. Thus, because I came to CNRP to have fun and not stress myself over dealing with people who cause unnecessary stress, I have decided to completely remove myself from them, making it a win-win scenario. They don't have to deal with me, I don't have to deal with them, we both go our merry ways. But that is off topic, to get back on topic, I'll simply say that forcing people to RP certain things will never work, and that the guidelines are GUIDELINES, not rules.

I completely agree with this point of view. The creative control of a story should always remain with the author because if the author does not have control then it is not really their story. And role-playing is kind of like cooperative story telling both the players are authors of their own stories and they should have the final word on whether an action actually takes place. The game master is merely the facilitator their role is to gather information and present it in a way that encourages cooperation and perhaps work as a consultant to the players in the story to help them come to agreements about things. Personally I like stories that are sorted out in advance so that there is no OOC bickering when the RP is presented. And when something bad happens it happens because the player has decided that it would be an interesting story to tell and not because it was forced on them and they have their entire story hijacked and taken into areas that they do not like. This sort of thing can cause people to lose interest and leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHAYD Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 The person who starts the war should warn their enemy ahead of time, preferably a week or so before the war is declared. That way, some basic war plans can be drawn up such as who is going to win. It gets really annoying when someone goes lolrage on your and tells you that your CNRP nation is under attack after the war is declared. That happened to me before, but I managed to notice that one of the RPers that has a nation neighboring mine was RPing something suspicious. The only exception is when the war starter is quitting CN and wants to kind of go out with a bang politely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
