Regional Factbook: Fatal Terrain

INTRODUCTION

Long ago, a wise one spoke: "Where if your enemy fights with intensity he will survive but if not he will perish, it is called 'fatal terrain.' On fatal terrain, always engage in battle."...how each one fights will determine their survival...and their respect...

Fatal Terrain, a collective of nations that have come together for the sole purpose of a single goal. To gather character RPers in one place. Tired of having to search for fellow RPers in their hosted threads, Fatal Terrain offers a constant flow of RPers who are almost always willing to participate.

*********************************************************

MEMBERSHIP

Entry and membership in Fatal Terrain is screened according to the following criteria:


(1) Must have established a record of roleplaying using characters. This is to be submitted to one of the following:

Tarlachia [regional founder]
Ancient Assington (or Assington or Arithon)
The Golden Simatar
The Gothic Underworld
Gorgamin

Submitted roleplays may be from non-Nationstates sites. Please state at the beginning that it is to be considered part of your application to join Fatal Terrain.

(2) Must exhibit fair roleplaying. Do not take control of another person's character without their permission. Do not type out one line post responses. They're no fun, and offer very little to react to. Think your posts out, take your time, and provide at minimum, decent-quality posts.

(3) Must be able to create a decently thought out history of each character, and maintain fluidity in their RP timelines. Major changes in one's history are encouraged to be at least roleplayed in a story thread or a multi-person RP.

(4) Each applicant must not be a spammer. If discovered to be one, you will be ejected from Fatal Terrain.

(5) Your characters must not be "all powerful gods of the universe who can put up an indestructive shield to deflect even the craziest attacks.". In other words, if you're a godmodder, you will be rejected immediately. Note: If in the course of an RP you are participating in, you are called foul on something you have done, and you do not willingly change the 'mistake', then you will be labeled as a godmodder by those in the RP, and word of your actions will undoubtedly spread. Thus, it does you well to know how to COOPERATE.

(6) No hijacking of threads. Nobody likes to see their RP on a lovely little dance ball turning to a multi-person sword fight (unless that is the intent of the host)

(7) In the course of an RP thread, you must make all attempts to keep up. If you happen to fall behind because of real life issues, just explain that and withdraw. Otherwise, the thread will continue, with or without you.


UN Delegate status is rotated on a monthly basis, so everyone with a UN stamp will get a chance at the position.

REGIONAL ALLIANCES
This is more of an informational alliance, for people to look for other RPers to roleplay with. However, if an RP comes up with a war or something, it could be used as a traditional alliance.

OoC: Excuse me, I'd like to ask if I could join this group but not as a region member, because I am currently a member of Haven and that offers me much fun RP. I'll proffer my RP sample. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=393477&page=1&pp=15)

Also, I'd like to apologise to TGS for not participating in his AvP thread as well as I should've, RL issues came up and I had other things on my mind.

In the future, I'll only join an RP when I can give it my 100%.

Anyway, if I'm not allowed in, thanks for looking and I hope to RP with you even if I cannot be in the RP group.

I like what you've got in your sample. Good stuff there. As for being a part of the group, perhaps you can set up a puppet nation, and then TG me and let me know it's you, and I'll give you the password to move your puppet in.

There are some in the region who've done just that, so you wouldn't be the only one.
Kriegorgrad
25-02-2005, 20:10
OoC: Thank you, that would be all well and good, however, could I make on query: do I use the puppet for the RP or would I use Kriegorgrad. I'm only asking because I have a tendency to let my puppets die, I often forget the poor little guys and they die from lack of attention. So, could I send a puppet into the region on my main nation's behalf?
Tarlachia
25-02-2005, 20:14
Yes.

EDIT: Preferably if you use your main nation.
EDIT2: You mean parent! How could you not feed your little children nations?!! :P
Kriegorgrad
25-02-2005, 20:26
OoC: Oh great, thanks for that! I wanted to use Kriegorgrad anyway.

And for the children...well, what can I say, I just lack that maternal instinct! =)

I, too, have been looking for a new region to join, though I really have no interest in the UN stuff. Tarl, Velmora, Arithon have all RP'd with me, so you know that I can bring some decent entertainment to the table. Please let me know!

Gawdly...give me some time to consult with the rest of the council...

Understood and appreciated. If you need links to my character RP's, I have plenty available.

Please keep in mind that while my characters are rarely lovable and often piss others off, personally I'm a big teddy bear o' love!

Also, feel free to say "no". It's not a huge deal to me, and I will still actively seek many of you out to RP with, or even just read and enjoy your own adventures. I apply to your region simply because...well...like most anyone else, I prefer being part of an interesting group rather than playing with myself, so to speak.

Logistically, I have two nations, Gawdly and another, both with populations of 1.8 billion each.
Tarlachia
05-03-2005, 14:18
We are familiar with your RPing style, so we won't be needing examples. Based off how much I know the others in the council, I am going to say that you have been approved for your membership.

Check your telegrams.

Greetings,

Gawdley sent me a message about joining your region. I would be interested in doing so. I have five nations actually, though three of them are very closely tied together. One I've not done anything with yet but would like to. If admittance into the region is acceptable then please let me know. An answer either way would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you.

New Quandary
17-07-2005, 11:44
This would be my application then, quoting the explanatory telegram I just sent to Tarlachia.



Interesting.

You certainly set exacting standards! The inner role-player rubs his hands in silent glee. Unfortunately, I no longer have my ancient RP efforts stacked away, real life has been a little too... er... distracting. But Thulzarr Verde, AmandaTheGreat and Caebhersiobh no doubt remember the original Quandary from Unity in Peace.

Quandary was a nation dedicated to utopian and scientific experimentation. It dabbled in UN politics for a period of time, but the server got me down as often as itself. RP-wise, Quandary's high-end research eventually endowed it with the ability to flick in and out of existence, which, as it happened, fitted in very well with my online behaviour. It spawned several related puppets, including its own buccaneer commonwealth predecessor and cosmos-bound heir.

New Quandary is the small-scale revival, and I haven't decided on a profile for it yet-repetition, continuation or alternative timeline? I confess I wouldn't be engaging in too much RP because RL matters. My motive for sniffing out Fatal Terrain was primarily the company of old friends.

Could you, under these circumstances, countenance my membership?

Your application has been recieved, and will be discussed amongst the board members of Fatal Terrain. We'll let you know how well you float in these waters lol.

"Sinker."
"Floater."
"Taking on Water."
"Light as air."

The debate rages...
