  1. I'd appreciate it if you could keep your Out of Character disputes off these boards. I've been told there is an IRC channel for this subsection of the forums, take your arguments their or to private channels. There's absolutely no reason to go around derailing threads and accusing others of having biases. I enjoy watching you roleplay, it is like a book that updates every hour. Unfortunately, when the book is filled with notes from the author telling the co-authors mean things, it gets annoying and occasionally breaks the rules.

    You could say the mods police the boards. We don't have time to take out of our actual modding to deal with the relatively unimportant things that go on in this area. Most of the roleplay mods (other than HK47, Stormcrow and myself) tended to stay away for this reason, and you can see a noticeable lack of other Mods here. Those of us who do take the time to mod here usually are squeezing in extra time that we would like to save. For this reason, HK47 started the GM system. There have been complaints that GMs are using their own personal views to influence their decisions, and unfortunately those complaints are not directed at those who can actually do something but continue to manufacture themselves with varying degrees of accuracy.

    So, what exactly am I posting and why? I'm telling you right now that this attitude has to stop. At least in Alliance Politics or the Boiler Room heated attitudes have some sort of basis, but the level of out of character hate here is astounding. The lower the stakes, the more vicious the fighting, eh?

  2. RTBASMF:DMITALMI.LPIP.

    Greatest acronym ever.

    Please make me unsee that horrible abomination masquerading as an acronym. That is the true, dark name of Sheol written to make a man tear his eyes from his face and cut his ears from his head.

    Also hello.

  3. I'm really dissapointed in you Sileath. This was a joke war and you know it. After 2 months of being in the same alliance with you, I thought you would have thought better. Especially after this:

    Bombing Report

    Message: Your nation has been bombed by the wicked-awesome nation of JoeBonanno. In the bombing attack, cats and dogs flew down to engulf your nation with unrelenting hairballs. Further, you have suffered a loss of dignity and pride with the destruction of your lollipop stand.

    Battle Report

    Message: Your nation has been raided by the wicked-awesome nation of JoeBonanno. In the raid, you lost 4 Sileath's and your nation was left devestated and without lollipops.

    You do know you aren't supposed to send false battle reports, right?

    Consider this your verbal warn. Even if its a joke, it still breaks the rules. This is also a verbal warning to everyone in the thread; if it gets bad in here I will lock and warn.

  4. No.

    This is not going to continue. I see nothing but chaos and screaming matches, and alot of rudeness, as though I'd never told any of you to play by the respect policy. This thread is locked, and until a well written suggestion is sent to myself or Spock, my previously stated rules about merged nations are the only ones that are going to fly.

    GMs: Telling someone to shut up is not only a poor representation of yourself, but of the Staff members who elected to place you in a position of authority. If you believe we have matters to fix, send a detailed pm to myself, Spock, and HK47, and we will discuss this together away from this forum.

  5. After careful consideration, mergers are back on the table. Although fine-tuning is still going on, the basic rule of thumb is:

    1. No roleplaying another person's military

    2. Can't kill of their players.

    3. Can't end their countries (as in destroy them)

    4. Have either a historic, logical, regional, or very well roleplayed reason to them.

    There you go kids, have fun, DON'T ACT THE FOOL AND GET IT TAKEN AGAIN.

    That is all.

  6. The system that I've considered is that it would not be able to combine military might; that is, each member of the Merger would still post their own military movements or actions. Tech would be the highest member of the Merger (no stacking). In case of individual tech trades, whichever tech level is higher would be the tech of that nation, but it would not cascade and give everyone else higher tech levels, merely that individual member of the merger. Money is really immaterial as everyone can rp getting it somehow, so econ might possibly stack (or just be the highest member's econ).

    And I think the community deserves this chance to prove itself and expand gameplay. Y'all have been pretty good, it's time we worked on rewarding that.

  7. So, after a lengthy on and off discussion with Spock and HK, I've decided to broach this formally with the community...so, here goes:

    Forum behavior has been pretty good, I'd say, and the way people have been rping has actually gotten better. I'm really proud of the GM's work in this especially, both the old ones and the new, and I look forward to continued good behavior. That all being said, I told you that if the community could prove itself again, Merger's could come back on the table. Well, I'm not going to say something like that and then not offer it within a decent amount of time....so, would you like mergers back in the roleplay?

    This is just a yes or no thread. There'll be another thread for you to suggest what the rules should be.

  8. OOC: Let me restate. This has been no proof or even any evidence presented that this is at all possible. This is wiped. Do we understand this?

    Mael. I want proof about the ability to fully and utterly alter the entire genetic code of a adult human in a short time frame. Else one large property of the bodies immune system will take over. Genetic rejection. If cells do not have the same DNA as the rest, they will be rejected and attacked.

    All your links so far have been embryo stage genetic splicing, or the ability to insert some DNA into the brain via a virus. The first fails because of the fact your Chairman is a adult, the second because the body would attack the altered brain cells.

    This thread is lock pending Moderator review. I'd like to thank LVN for handling this so far.

  9. If any Altin Urda territory is available, I'll take it as Storm's Reach. If not, throw me somewhere random.

    Edit: I'm kidding. Seriously, how is the map thread going? Updates going all right?

  10. OOC: you mean YOU may or may not be free to post. You do not have rights to RP Kyokujitsans unless they give it. Get it straight

    Pointless post is pointless. You realize that Sarah will of course let her roleplay her own creation (Even if it is now under Sarah's control); stop finding opportunities to snipe at people. Post this kind of thing when Sumeragi does something that would be utterly out of character/against Sarah's will, not over some little thing like this.

  11. Pending Moderator discussion, the issue of mapmaker is on hold. For the moment, Sargun is still THE map-maker (And will remain the GM) and any disrespect towards him would be i]very[/i] unwise.

  12. This thread makes me sigh.

    Sargun, she's obviously doing a high quality job. Either recognize her as a map-maker and give her the authority to make decisions, or prepare for some competition. She's proven that she's good enough for the task at hand, and you're updates have been relying quite abit on her. If you cannot resolve this with her, I'm unpinning this thread. She'll make her own, and then we'll see which one stays at the top longer.

    that's my word on this. Stormcrow out.

  13. Oh Im sorry whats this? whats this? Whats this I remember reading that the Map Maker stated that your American/Oceanic/African Maps weren't going to be used? Oh Gee I must be totally wrong. Im terribly sorry. I didn't know Sargun relinquished his post as Map Maker, and I had NO idea that you suddenly had the power to decide who could or couldnt be in RP

    Hey, it's amazing how quickly people forget the big thread pinned at the top next to the map thread.

    Forget it again. Please.

    That doesn't just go for Frost. I see a LOT of disrespect for fellow players, OOC and IC. Do not take the moderation staff's kindness for weakness; we do not fill this forum with warns because it is better to let these things play out. But there are certain standards that have been put in place here, and they will be followed.

    This isn't a debate, it's a statement. Continue on your business and the next person who trolls gets a warn, no exceptions.

    Sargun is a Game Master, as well as a hard-working volunteer for the community. You will respect him, as I trust in his ability to fairly govern the IC forum (the portions he GM's). Sargun, PM me if this keeps up.

  14. Wait, change that to 80 pages. If you guys post more, you will see me naked. You don't want that, I am warning you. Stop posting in here.

    I think you are bluffing.

    On that note: Just a friendly visit from the neighborhood Mod; you've gotten on track. Stay there.

    Also: The spelling mistakes in this thread makes my eyes hurt.

  15. I am going to be patient with all of you. Vince, consider this your one and only verbal warning.

    As for the REST of you feeding the fires...stop. This community is (at least, it was in my time) a haven from the constant bickering and moaning of CN. Go to IRC and talk it out, have a heart-to-heart, curse each other out OFF FORUM. Don't bring that mess here.

  16. The simple fact that another theocracy has risen is enough fact that it should be at least fettered, as all sane people know that religion is a massive destabilizing influence, and 'comes down to my imaginary friend is better than yours'.

    Still we think it refreshing that people believing in a benevolent omnipotent, zombie that will save you with the power of his homophobic, sexist, racist, and totally intangible and unquestionable father have risen to government office.

    How long they will stay is a hot topic at Aotearoan bookies.

    OOC: There is a boundary between rping an anti-theistic country and just being insulting, cut the bigotry.
