Is there anything worth reading anymore other than wars (or related) and store fronts? What would happen if an exploration thread was started or something that was different, would it be read? I will sleep on this and see what happens.

Good night all

It sadly seems so, i open up trade threads for example and nobody cares, they just want to fight it would seem.

I know what you mean, my national reconstruction thread got no replies, and only like six views that I saw. (It particularly stings, as that was one of the longest Rps I've written in my life >_<)

I do not belive it is true at all. Al Khals is yet to go to war, and it looks like we shall pass a hundred million citizens living in the republic without firing a shot in anger. We have however negotiated various trade deals, and are keen for more. Al Khals is at present attempting to administer the construction of oil refineries in the nation of earlier respondant No-Dachi Yo, while covering up religiously motivated political unrest at home.

This does not mean that Al Khals will never go to war, the military is an important corner stone of republican life, but still, there are many states out there with more than one track to their national mind. There are character RPs floating about, though most will not be found in this forum, as they do not tend to be international incidents.

(I also note that this hardly appears to be an international incident..)

I'd take part in something like that. It'd be a welcome change of pace, since I don't like RPing wars too much; everything is so arbitrary.
Side One: "I ship 300,000 troops to your border and attack!"
Side Two: "Oh yeah? Well, my orbital defense platforms burn up all your soldiers with lasers!"
Side One: "Oh yeah? Well, my 3,000 B-2 bombers drop nukes on your capital!"

And so forth. Quite exciting, as you can see. Not that there aren't exceptions, mind you. It's just they're so few and far between.
Anyway, I digress. If you start up something like that, TG me; I'd love to take part in it, or at least follow it as it develops.
