James Gordon Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Maybe I'm going too Nationstates here but it would be nice if we had more customizations on our nation. So it can feel more, well ours. Create slots for Religion no need to even make a list. Nationality and Motto will make it feel more ours. Currency can just be their for role play with no real value. For all this. You don't need to make a list, just create a slot and we can create a truly custom nation. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Gordon Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Oh, to top it off. Could we have a custom political party? Or no parties option? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Fire Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Religion: Yes! Even if it's purely aesthetic, I think having a religion option is a good idea. Currency: I personally don't care either way, but why not? Motto: This could be added into the custom description, really. Parties: Why not? Should be aesthetic, though. My nation has 5 political parties, which I've mostly just expressed in my wiki page. 3 Quote _________________________________________________________________ <Jroc> I heard \ is an anagram of cocaine<\> I can't be rearranged into a line, I already am a line. --Foxburo Wiki-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooves Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) I did kind of like what Nationstates had for aesthetics. Religion: Voicing Fox Fire's response to this Nationality: I do like this, you can set the percentages and such for who resides in your nation. Would really help the RP. Currency: Since we don't have to bother with actual conversions. Why not Motto: Approve Parties: No opinion on this. For public appearance, could just show the dominant party for the nation.

Pfeiffer Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I am against adding religion. If people feel very strongly, let them put it in the description.

Giving people a RL focal point upon which to spew bigotry is not a good idea. Wat? So then what about government type and policies? I can use that as an RL focal point to spew bigotry..... In fact, I find your comment to be an ideal example of what you're speaking against.... *Rolls eyes* If religion is added, there should simple be a "none" option. There ya go. (But I think you just don't like the fact that Diosm is not an actual religion).

Pfeiffer Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 This has nothing to do with the game mechanics, or in this case cosmetics. I have seen, and I'm sure many of you have as well, RL religion and politics brought into games and poison communities. Government types serve a mechanical purpose, and largely make sense in doing so. The government policies are (apparently) supposed to mean something mechanically at some point. What's the potential mechanical impact of listing a religion? I can see none that won't simply create further issues. The simple fact is that if you really care about people knowing your religion, you can place it in your nation bio.

Hereno Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 it's not our religion, it is the religion of our nations. many nations around the world have national religions. not that i give a shit either way but if we can't bring religion and politics into a simulation of them then what are we even doing 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen, and I'm sure many of you have as well, RL religion and politics brought into games and poison communities. I call bullshit. This has never, not once, been an issue in any similar game I've played where religion existed. Take (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) for example. Nobody cares what religion your nation is. You Mensa peeps are Diosts IC and tadda!!! Nobody cares... What's the potential mechanical impact of listing a religion? Could be many things, but I'm personally in favor of it being aesthetic. What are the mechanical impacts of policies or currency in the game? Nothing, but they're there.

Adding a mechanical impact for religions would certainly poison the game. If a game mechanic behind religion is really desired, why not we give same benefits for all the religions (and may be a religious civic, which gives different benefits) and an entirely different benefit for Free Religion, something like Sid's Civilization series? The simple fact is that if you really care about people knowing your religion, you can place it in your nation bio. We can do the same for currency too, why create another option for it? My opinion is, lets have pros and cons for currencies and religion/free-religion, just RP is boring without proper game mechanic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malice Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I don't think using RL religions is going to cause wars. People should be able to use custom religions though, since there are so many real and fictional that people might like to use. Same goes for nationality, perhaps take a leaf out of Victoria 2's book and have a primary culture/nationality, and accepted cultures/nationalities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spite Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I vote for two religion options: "Dioist" and "Heathen" Heathens get -50% economy and they have to wear big red noses on their avatars.
