Four

I don't think that would really fly with the majority of the rrp community or alex...I sent you a message indicating a new forum for RP that would allow for OOC postings...a new world per se.

Don't get me wrong - rules need to be edited, but the way Alex set up this forum is to be strict towards in-game nations and roleplaying within those means. If a new subforum for "out of game" RP could be created a new set of rules would obviously be needed/used.

Any way we can see an example? I'm just interested in it. We also have some very talented graphics players that could possibly help us out.

I understand where you're coming from, so there is absolutely no reason to continue to repeat yourself. Moderation and Rules will always remain - so you can wipe that one off your plate. I am one of the most lenient moderators, especially for RP. I personally look over this forum on my own to ensure it continues to engage the RP Community. You are free to continue to post your massive posts with the same information just rearranged, but what it boils down to is this is how the RP of this community is run. Sure, it could be different where you are from - but this is how we do things. We get a long, fun is had, and it is an enjoyable place to be...we aren't going to change simply because you're saying your way is better. Sorry. As far as the changes, we will discuss them with the community like we do - and we will implement those changes together. Thank You.

How are maps like that made?

I was looking at ways to bring this group back to life. If anyone is interested in joining this RP group, shoot me a message. For new people: The RP Team is a group of non-mod/admin RP players who assist in the clarification of stories throughout RP to route out incorrect reports. This team also filters out bad RP to the moderation team so that the quality of RP stays within the guidelines and rules. In no way is a member of the RP Team a moderator. In no way should a member of the RP Team every publicly call out another RP Player. Thats what the report function is for. In no way is a member of the RP team considered a "higher rank" than any other member here. I'll sort through those who are interested to find the best for the team. Likely, 4 people.

So - I was under the impression that this was an RP Debate thread. If you're looking for RL Debate - there is a Debate Forum for that.

Hey new guys. I'm Four - Moderator for PW Forums and these guys can tell you that I put a lot of my energy here into this specific sub-forum of Nat RP. In fact, a few months back Nat RP was even more disconnected and in even worse disarray than it is today. I won't lie, there is a lot that needs to change to make the Nat RP community better - we have lost some great RP'ers. Even with rules and even with direction, there is always going to be a disconnect especially when one group is used to RP'ing a certain way and then change over to a new RP community - like you new guys have. Lucky for you, I like change. The problem with change is it can't be implemented over night. This is obvious. I would prefer to make small changes towards the progression of the "big picture" in order to keep everyone on the same page. Another key thing to remember is that this specific RP is within the realm of the Nations we own in this game. So, there is a specific line we cannot cross. (which brings into question the call for the new RP community not associated with in-game nations...). My suggestions right off the bat would be to change the forums a bit. If I'm understanding correctly, you guys would want an IC RP forum and then an OOC RP forum that would allow OOC discussions to be had in regards to the IC RP going on? In addition: Crack down on god modding, sometimes it gets out of hand. Crack down on "over night" technology/advancements. Enforcing the rules of the forum harder to encourage quality RP. Thoughts?

The problem I'm seeing is we aren't just going to create a subforum without an actual solid following for that type of "galactic" RP. Not to mention, this 'new' RP wouldn't be able to associate with the current National RP as you would be RPing from beyond the realm of your nations. I mean, even Nat RP gets a litttttle overboard sometimes. This would have to be a new brand of RP with some type of strong organization from within to make it actually work...it can't just be mashed together overnight. What I'd need to see is some strong development and a good amount of you willing to take a position in the RP. Without that, there is no bounds to open a new forum and I believe Alex would agree with that as well.

Thanks Alice. Jesse, that was my bad - unless I otherwise specify, any comments in threads from my account are usually to warn future posts to that thread. In addition, should I create a general warning in a thread, I usually contact the members within that thread that are specific to that general warn broadcast. Thanks.

Let us remember these words: When replying to a post Unless you are posting specific evidence as it relates to the technical support report or providing positive feedback and/or assistance on the report DO NOT post in a technical support thread. Posts that are intended to disrupt a discussion rather than actually contribute to it will be considered trolling/derailing and will result in disciplinary actions.

Community, Fist off - creating large text and bolding that text in an IC forum is a form of spam - lets not. Secondly, Lets all take a look at this forum's rules. Check them out here. As always, this forum is for role play specific to your in-game nations. You are to play within the realm of the orbis world and your in-game nation. That means you need to play within the means of the world, you can't god-mod, and you can't be a one upper. (i.e. "I have shield destroyers" - "WELL MY SHIELDS NEVER DIE!! NO MATTER WHAT!") This forum has always operated just fine with the current rule set up - this community changes over time and it continues to change as more and more people are introduced to the RP community here. Just because you do something one way - in no way - gives you the right to come in here and try to force it down the RP Community's throats. That won't be happening. I agree that there needs to be changes in the way things are operated here in the RP world - a good way to start out is by posting your ideas in the OOC forum, that is where suggestions go. In addition, somewhere I saw how you all wanted to do a practice war to see this new way of RPing - I suggest getting together to work on that. Lastly - In order for RP to work correctly - the way it has been for years - all parties must agree to the conflict/rp - no matter what. Any type of posts that violate those rules will be locked and the OP will be warned. Please see rules for more information. This thread has been locked as it is a sit storm of OOC posts. I'll see you guys in the OOC Nat RP Forum.

Why not just add an agreed upon "space map" to the Nat RP?

Hey guys and OP: Just remember that there are other people besides you in the RP community - if you want to do some great RP like launching missiles and stuff, just collaborate with the nations you are going to affect. 9/10 you will be able to develop an even stronger RP story than what you initially thought. Removing some of the strictly "ooc" posts, you made it to 3 pages on your RP post. I won't warn or give any strikes, but just remember to be within your means and talk to your neighbors. Its a good way to understand what types of technology they have in their nations. Thanks.

I think simply put - (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) might have an appealing process, but PW doesnt. Maybe some players get confused? I'd like to say that I don't ever coddle the whiney little manchildren on this forum, which is probably why I get called out as much. Your words are hurtful and I'm offended.

Lets also remember that Tech Support forum is not a place for spam or OOC content. Keep it to the OP, post if you have valuable details for the support request or you're contributing in a helpful and constructive way.
