{Suggestion} Expansion of roleplaying board.

Hi Alex and staff! :D

I'd like to make a few suggestions, please consider as i'd like to make P&W my primary natsim since i've mostly had good vibes from here.

I'd like to make a suggestion for expanding the roleplaying board on the forum. I'd like to see some form of the roleplaying section from another game called Nationstates dragged over here. I wanted to try and get a freeform roleplaying community started, based on non-earth maps. Aps could be used like azgaar's fantasy map generator for landmasses and Game Masters could volunteer to run stories. The RP could be serious and casual, active and inactive. This'd be a new feature that could be advertised to draw in users as P&W may very well BE the only website in the future to expand on natsim roleplaying beyond mainstream social media.

Now for the forum itself, you can keep the roleplaying subforum as it is. Just add onto it new sections: A section named 'national information' which would allow thread-based factbooks, a section named 'international geopolitics and events', a section named 'national happenings', and a section named "trade and storefronts" for roleplaying out trade and letting people make storefronts. Rules would need to be made, and maybe common understandings for technology levels established but that can just be written and posted.

To expand on this idea, i'd like to ask Alex & staff if they'd consider allowing people to make profiles simply for forum roleplaying. These would be nation accounts and something people could opt into if you wanted to keep accounts separate. These accounts would need a main page that can be customized talking about their country, and somehow incorporating the factbook/dispatch feature but allowing people to write in whatever they want, and maybe allow up to 24 factbooks on the main profile.

Please consider this, as I still have a need for open natsim roleplaying, and my current fix is a hellhole run by sadists. T-T I don't mind being the first roleplayer, I write well, so I could maybe attract others.

I don't think we'd be able to do separate profiles for forum roleplaying only, but we can definitely add in additional subforums.

Could you write up a general outline of what should (and shouldn't) be included in each subforum? Then I will make them, you can post them, and we'll pin them for everyone to see, so it doesn't get (as) bombarded with junk.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness of this though, I would love to foster more forum based roleplay!
