PresidentDavid Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Collaboration can happen in this RP and has, PD, myself, and Dillon came to a reasonable conclusion upon finally getting dillon to RP :P We collaborated about as well as a two-headed longhorn at feeding time.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) I find this strange. I thought no one here liked bandwagoning.. I propose anti-bandwagoning measures.. and I get the absolute opposite of the anticipated response. Sure it limits certain types of RP, but it prevents abuse scenarios.. *scratches head* Edited January 6, 2015 by Maelstrom Vortex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triyun Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 No one likes getting bandwagoned, that's not the same thing as disliking bandwagoning generally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogar Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) The main problem is the rule would effectively only impact Mael, therefore there's not any real motivation to pursue it. Anyone else in the RP community who is over 100k does not have an interest in joining RPA. Edited January 6, 2015 by Mogar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I try to think of situations that could potentially arise that have not arisen yet. You're right, this would hand-cuff me if other people started playing.. that's kind of the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Enema Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 It's ok dude, you handcuff yourself well enough on your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kingswell Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 No I refuse to agree to any decision that limits certain people over others. If this type of thing is really wanted then we shall make it so that no one can ally/work with anyone else and we all hate/fight each other. Otherwise just leave things as they are. Also considering that here in cnrpA conflict is by participation only and can't be forced on anyone this proposal is pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I suppose this is true Kevin, but as others have said, if there were a lot of high powered nations in CNRPA and they did happen to ally, and they both did want to fight you, how would you collaborate with that? It'd be a gentleman's curb stomp essentially. I just think a framework of rational limitations might be prudent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be a gentleman's curb stomp essentially. I just think a framework of rational limitations might be prudent. The solution would be easy enough you either A) accept you are going to have to fight a hard battle with more than likely zero percent chance of success, B) Work out an agreement to limit numbers/participants or C) ignore them and continue on doing what you want to do without them.

Captain Enema Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 C) ignore them and continue on doing what you want to do without them. That's a good option, but keep in mind, ignoring someone doesn't mean it won't be reflected on the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kingswell Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 That's a good option, but keep in mind, ignoring someone doesn't mean it won't be reflected on the map. Really? I thought the ignore option was there so that if someone didn't want their peaceful RP ruined by someone else they could go on doing what they wanted. If this isn't true then what is the point of cnrpA it is just the same as every other rp just minus the fact that people like Triyun haven't or won't join it.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) And there's why you see my proposing this. In an open system you can hope for rationality, but it's not always gauranteed.. and if the results cannot be ignored without penalty, it can harm the community and individual players. In such a system, I at least would like to see a mult-ipolar world sustained rather than a single dominant group or person.

I mean what if three small nations ally together to declare on a single small nation are we going to ban those nations from allying as well? Sure they aren't 100k but allied together they would still vastly outnumber a single nation. Either we have to ban everyone from allying or we just allow people to do as they wish.

Captain Enema Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 No kevin, there is no safe mode in cnrpa. There never has been and there only will be if someone actively works to pass the rules required for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 The point is to prevent impossible globally dominating wars. If three small powers fight a single small power any other random player could conceivably be convinced to come to the aid of the loner and not cause global hegemony.

Shave N Haircut Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 If this passes I'm seriously going back to RP2 being my mainstay, this is a clearly targetted attack on a few people simply as a contingency and would unfairly limit people when we have perfectly good methods in place to do it in a fair and non-discriminatory way.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted January 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 FHIC: Why would I attack myself unless I'm trying to do something good for everyone? I mean seriously.
