Sands Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I received this in game privately. I am in the Sahara in CNRP. Is this common practice here to offer in game money for RP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogar Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I'm so confused, why doesn't he make his own RP nation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinian the Mighty Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) He did. It's in India. and yes there have been instances in the past where someone offered CN money for CNRP perks but it is not common.

Captain Enema Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Tell him you need 3 million, 50 tech, and 2000 troops or no deal. Promptly suicide your entire nation upon completion of deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Enema Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Look, my location is prime for mayhem and destruction. The veritable soft underbelly of the beast and you are trying to short change me. I want 15 million in game. 20 dollar donation to the game with the bonuses to me. Also an autographed photo of Sarah. 1 full afternoon of spooning with Kaiser Melech and a DIY book binding press so I can live up to my new new year's resolutions. World peace in CNRP as well for 1 week of my choosing as well. If you can't live up to these demands then forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kankou Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 [quote name='Centurius' timestamp='1324990597' post='2887214'] Sargun did it a few months ago to wipe two nations that were involved in an ooc deal over IRC. There is a difference between OOC influencing IC and outright selling a rp nation for OOC profit.[/quote] I personally would say such arbitrary differentiation is just sophism. What's the difference of invading a country, giving the land to a specific friend, then helping to establish a nation, and using IG assets to RP out territorial exchange? I mean, I don't mind a plain ban (although I don't remember Sargun banning anything), but trying to justify it with an action that has no difference from what is banned seems rather strange to me.

Evangeline Anovilis Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Regardless of being enough reason for a wipe or not, I think we should just all agree not to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
