Are embassies more than an opportunity to RP, or do they serve a game purpose? I've opened up several, and never heard anything more from them.

Strictly RP. If you don't make some effort to entice people to play, they'll naturally die.

Hint: If nobody responds to one or two, don't bother creating three, four and five. Try something else, like joining OTHER people's embassy threads.

Belongs in Gameplay.

Anyway, I started one and found it's more trouble than it's worth to update it. It's basically a way of establishing IC diplomatic relations, but as for me, I generally assume a nation has an embassy with mine and vice versa unless relations are extremely hostile (e.g. nations that have been more or less at constant war with mine) or it did something to piss off my government (e.g. suspected terrorist sponsors).

New NS'ers sometimes use them as a non-threatening way to make themselves visible in International Incidents.
