Four

I'll see about getting tags set up - makes sense. For now just use brackets. [closed] [open] [etc]

Just to be clear - lets not rub anything in anyone's face. Your plan was given the benefit of the doubt, that is why your plan is in the works. This plan is to foster the current and future growth of this forum community. Rubbing it in faces and then basically telling others to go to another forum is not why you were given the chance to make this plan work. Should your plan fail - it will go back to a mod control via Alice. It is up to you and your team to prove to admin/mod that this forum can be handled in a fair and positive manner.

To assist with this matter - a plan has been created, it has been shared with Alex, Myself, and Alice. This plan would provide a balanced operation of map creation, editing, and further prosperity of this RP community. I would like to echo that the actions of moderation stepping in to assist was not an attempt to police the community, it was an attempt to moderate the going-ons and actually install a sense of due process with the current power held over RP. Regardless of the popular belief of solaris - our goal was and always is to ensure proper rules are being followed with proper enforcement and to ensure the community has the ability to grow and prosper without any type of stranglehold of power. No, Evas posts were not erased. They were temporarily moved to an archive within a moderation forum. No, we did not steal anything - nor did we delete anyone of your items within those threads. The map was re-purposed to show information currently held and a grid was added. While this new plan is created and installed properly, please carry on with your daily RP activities. It is our goal to have everything ship-shape as soon as we possibly can. Sorry for the confusion, inconvenience, and harshness of the actions here. O/

We will make out just fine. Thanks though. Also - map looks fine to me - just added a grid.

Simply put - No. After multiple reports of abuse and a large flow of reports - the best and only option was to put the map in control of moderators, for fairness. This decision will not be overturned. I do think it is pretty funny that majority of the reports come from you (solaris) - you claim things need to change - yet when there is a change, that will actually benefit the community you're the first to speak out against it. Maybe you should take a break from RP for a bit to steady your footing and figure out where exactly you stand here in this community. To the rest of you - mods being in control of the map is not a bad thing. It allows us to have to pay attention to this forum and it allows for a bit of an organized roleplay for each of you. With regards to the every day activities, you won't be seeing us jump in unless a rule break is made. We ask that you go about your day here in RP like usual. Keep up the great RP!

Took a break from the forum of RP to focus on other areas that needed a soft touch. haha

Hey RP Crews, Hows it going? Haven't been receiving much reports from these forums since the addition to organic RP - not sure if that is good or bad. Hope you're all doing your own thing and having fun with it.

Like stated above - unless otherwise proven that you is a lie and you is a multi, we good. Closed.

This thread has been locked for being a fake alliance announcement. OP has been notified.

Looks like someone took care of this for ya.

GENERAL VERBAL WARNING #1 Pursuant to the new moderation rules - this thread is receiving a public verbal warning to all participants. This is a warning to put this thread back on track to a real discussion without rule violations or ooc attacks. If you are interested in reading about this rule, please see here. This thread will be closed after the 2nd warning. Shape it up. Thank You.

Well - there is not much I can do from my angle to get people to start posting more RP for their nations or in the new organic rp forum. These things can't be forced. It really comes down to you guys and figuring out what you can to together to create an environment of RP that continually grows.

I say who ever has the time and patience for the map should do it. Ultimately, you guys can just work together.

You guys are doing a great job. It is great to have this live! Now, have some fun!

Schwieger for the Map Thread. Thanks o/

Before we get started here, I am going to need someone or someones who can and are willing to keep track of a few things: Organic RP Sign-Up Map Updates Lore Information/Updates Anything else you may think is necessary. I need someone to make a post, which I will pin, where you can continually edit/add to said post with new information and updates. Before you make the post, be sure that you will be active enough to continually update it. ORGANIC RP IS NOW LIVE!

The purpose of Organic Role Play is to allow players to role play without in-game restrictions. In-game references can be made, such as; wars, surrenders, embargoes..etc, as long as it relates to the topic being discussed. Please read and understand the additional rules, guidelines, and proper posting etiquette before participating in PW National Role Play. Sub-Forum Rules: All standard forum rules apply, click here for the standard forum rules.Impersonation of other alliances or players or their likenesses is simply not tolerated.You are expected to maintain a positive attitude in this community - disrespect to other players is a rule violation.RP Guidelines: Players should RP within their own means. What this means is although you are presenting a theme/story/genre to the community, you most do so logically - and realistically.You must make reasonable posts and requests from other players in this community. RP Posting Etiquette 1.) You are to remain within your own means. This means that you cannot overnight things for your nation. For example: One day you have modern technology/weapons and then the next day you post that you have the most advanced technology/weapons. This isn't to say that you cannot develop your technology, or for that matter, anything in your nation. This is just saying that you actually have to RP the transition and growth of your nation to make it fair for the rest of the RP community. Many nations have a theme built right into them - these themes are derived from RL lore and are also made up of personal lore (lore created by an individual). That being said all lore should be posted in [this thread] so that you know what people are using and you know how you can adapt to National RP with your nation. In addition, your lore doesn't have to be constrained to a single thread here in this community. If you have a website, wiki page, etc - you can use these in your posts and in the RP Lore Information thread. 2.) You have the option to allow or disallow OOC/IC chatter in your thread. This means that should you make an RP story/event that you would like to discuss in another thread, you simply post in your OP of your story/event that a new thread will be created for discussion. Within your OP you can also state that this story/event is only between 'select' players - just to keep the RP a bit more clean. When you create a new thread for the OOC discussions you will use the same topic, but just add a tag like [OOC] or [OOC Discussion] - then in the OP of that new thread, you just link the community to your IC topic for ease-of-access. This system allows for a cleaner RP for everyone. You also have the option to carry on your IC discussion through other platforms like IRC (if you're ancient), Discord, Skype, etc...etc.. 3.) This is Organic RP - Not a 140 Character Status Update. Players of this community are expected to put a little bit more effort than just a few random words in an OP. This is a role playing community, where you role play your nation and your nation's life story. In order for a proper dialogue to develop, players in this community must put in a little effort. For Example: BlackBox is a RP member. He has a modern nation and he plays within the lore of Modern Day America. This is his post this evening: Nobody replied to his post and it got lost in the topic view. Why? Because he used his time to create a status update instead of giving the community something to build off. There is no creativity and there is no effort. They key here is to just provide a little more effort with your story and with replying to other player's stories. Please provide at least a paragraph or two of content. 4.) You are not a God. Zero Tolerance for God-Modding and (or) Meta-Gaming God-Modding: Taking control of another player's character/nation during role play. You only control your character/nation and no one else's. Meta-Gaming: Any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends our rules, uses external factors to affect the Organic RP, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the Organic RP. The key idea here is to play within your means - build your lore - work with the Organic RP community to further your story. RP Moderation It is to be understood that Moderation has the final say in regards to reports made or any rule violation. It should also be understood that select moderators are put in charge to oversee this RP Community. These moderators have put in time and effort to help rectify issues and will continue to work with the community and assist the community with whatever is needed to help the RP Community run smoothly and continue to be a source of entertainment. That being said, each member of this community most Read & Understand these rules as they have been provided to you. Any post in this community is an assumption that you have read & understood each rule - therefore - should you post something that is a violation to these rules Moderation will point you right back to this thread. A violation is a violation. Thank you and enjoy Politics & War National Role Play!

I let this sit for a bit. I'll be building the forums momentarily. This is a warning that, once those forums are created, you are to follow all rules within that forum.

Based off what I see. This world/theme will be based on our current world and universe with the ability to expand even further out should your lore be there. Also, becuase this is going to be tied to some Nations here, it will remain in the Nat RP sub-forum in its OWN subforum.

I mean, I guess ultimately we have to decide a few things. Is their a general theme or location OR is this just a grouping of different worlds/places? Is this tied to our nations directly or is this a free RP that allows you to use any original/non-original themed lore to create a story? Depending on the answers to the questions above, will result in where this forum will be placed. Either here in nat RP or in the Roleplay forum

Changelog: Named it to Organic RP Off-site Lore Info added Quality posts updated Fixed point 4 Is there anything else? You guys want this to be a general theme? Also, we will need: Organic RP Lore Information Thread (pinned) Rules Thread (pinned) Anything else?

Must provide your lore information/links/etc before posting any RP.

Player's Forum Name: greatkitteh Length of Suspension: Ability to create content removed for 48 hours.

I'm happy to see you all posting up here. I'll revise the rules and post them up shortly for your approval.

show of hands - who is actually interested in this new form of roleplay? Tired of putting work into this RP community just to see you guys throw it away over night. If there isn't enough, we are just gonna call it quits on this project.

Never before have I worked with such an immature community of people who are constantly working against themselves in every way while complaining that things need to be better. You should all be ashamed of yourselves, in all seriousness, ashamed. Now, I'm not sure how old you guys are in RL or how you were raised - but you guys are bottom of the barrel bullies to each other - its time to grow up. I have asked you all on numerous occasions to keep this forum/community in the positives. Positive attitudes only. Then what do you do? You just jump all over each other in a never ending pile of shit drama for no actual reason. OMG someone RP's different than youuu.. cry a god damn river. This is closed - rule violators have been warned - positive attitudes only. much shame. very disrespect.
