Fizzydog Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Well, this should be creative. Nuskar was a precreated country(lo five notebooks full of facts). It was meant to be a superpower, that's why I really liked this. likED. It won't be as fun since this is limiting creativity. I get restrictions, but telling who is what is smacking creativity.

Ive not been there as long as the others, but its a working system, created by a number of people. Not a single guy. [/quote] Arieg knows what he's doing. We go way back and we both have an unpleasant history of having to deal with people who have zero clue what they're doing. No, I'm not saying anyone here is like that - as far as I can tell - but it's better to be safe rather than sorry. I will agree, however, that the current numbers as they stand... don't make sense. If your nation uses compulsory military service (like Israel or Sweden) and is belligerent, the numbers could be far higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoot Zoot Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Canaris, im not doubting that he knows what he is doing. But being the SOLE leader, rule writer etc of an RP is silly, bordering nuts. Which is what he has done. and the redtape on this RP is gonna make doing anything harder than getting the Government to actually do anything productive =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Exactly. I have 640 million citizens. 850,000 soldiers is absurdly low, unless I opted to stay neutral. 350m+ fit for active duty, yet I can only have 850k? Really? Sure, I shouldn't levy 1/6 of my nation to be my military, but ffs, something fairly reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californian Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Well, if we are going to have this new system, I think people with smaller NS like Fizzy and Zoot should be allowed more freedom to be the Major Powers or w/e. Let's us change it up a little, my nation isn't going to be powerful at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzydog Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'm just mad because I am denied creativity. THAT can leave me in a bad mood for days, even weeks. I just don't find it fair that everyone is under strict control. I thought this was to be free and creative. Not everyone went superpower that order, and its turning out fine. Now you throw on numbers and place people here and there...where is that little spark, again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoot Zoot Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Also true Canaris, it can lead to just as much. But with a group discussion there is room for compromise. the only answer i got was the banhammer. so no, one guy running the show now has an enlarged epeen and ego, at the same time, literally skrewing over other people RP by restricting it to HIS rules. Limiting the freedoms of the mind and creativity voids the entire point of RP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mergerberger II Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 er, ~3% of my population is my military. I am unsure as to how this is absurd and why this needs to be limited. My nation, which is called Alba, by the way, not the Kingdom of Alba, is a warrior culture with strong nationalism. Also, North Korea, which is by no means a Superpower, has a military of over 2 million soldiers, so I am entirely unsure as to why this needs to be limited.

You can't RP past the limit of your world status, because, clearly, it is impossible to become more influential over time. United States of what, you say? People's Republic of whom? Nah.
