Executive Minister Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Can someone explain to me why Japan is being labelled as if its a sovereign nation RP'd by someone?

The same why Lavo has his 'Special Administrative Zone', being held in Africa for Gebiv if he ever comes back (which I doubt). So even if Japan was made white, nobody would be able to RP there until the old RPer comes back - if ever. Thus denying newbies the location indefinetely through OOC motives.

Centurius Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 [quote name='dotCom' timestamp='1296659528' post='2616185'] It's still against the rules. They are holding on to it for a purely OOC reason and when he gets back it will be OOC gifting. [/quote] Technically that's what every protectorate holder does, he saves the land for ooc reasons and selects who gets to roll in it thus ooc gifting, however the rule about ooc gifting has always been interpreted as gifting the land to a currently established nation for ooc reasons, not setting up a new one. That was the spirit of the rule too and still is. The mentioned cases are nothing more than a protector holding land but with only a select view reaching the requirements the protector has for the land, thus it is very much within the written and unwritten rules of cnrp.

[/quote] ...wait, so he can serve in the air force but can't handle losing some pixels? Do we have any method for verifying what somebody says? What's to stop me from pretending to be depressed and claim that CNRP is my last refuge and thus nothing bad can happen to my pixels? I know nobody likes to doubt friends or think the worst of people, but it's fully possible and I find it odd that somebody can serve in the air force and yet freaks out when they lose land in an online game. Maybe I'm just a heartless cynic, I admit I'm ignorant of the details of the situation. I'm just saying that it isn't uncommon for people to lie and such online. Anyone else remember when Nikanor* faked his death? *I may be misspelling his name. He was in NoR and made claims to being in the US Airforce.

Fizzydog Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Why is it fair that such large areas of land as Northern Africa and Japan have to sit around waiting for their owners to make an appearance? Honestly, Japan needs to be made a protectorate. And if someone decides they want some or all of it they should be allowed to take it. You can keep old players from expanding there, but you shouldn't keep new players/rerollers confined to the few places we have left (ie. Landlocked areas of Asia, Antarctica, Africa and some of North America. Europe seems to always be occupied.) Antarctica is the worst RPing zone there is. Sitting down south all your cnrp days while other nations ignore you can't be fun. Sure, Africa is a great RPing zone, but why must we be limited to Africa? Land gobblers need to settle down and give away some of their land. It seems all CNRP is about is who has the most map pixels. Wait, was Nikano the one who started the huge arguement with the mods?

Markus Wilding Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 You do realize that Keshav and Centurius keep protectorates in southern Spain and Portugal, respectively? Also, with some of these "land gobblers", all you need to do is ask and they'll most likely give away some of their land. Case in point: Yawoo gave Scotland to Sargun. Shadowsage gave Curristan his old state. All you need to do is ask and realize that you aren't limited to only protectorates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
