Recently i have been seeing a lot of a war being declared for no reason. I propose that we clamp down on this is some way. I say the country coming under vialation should appeal to the UN to help, and so the UN make a descision on who is correct and who is not. The UN can then come up with a suitable descision about the two countries. whether reparations are payed etc.

If you agree with my politics please endorse the Armed Republic of Shalalalalalalalalalab. thankyou

I think that to clamp down on this idea is stopping a fundamental right of a nation to declare war. It is a political certanty that a nation can declare war it is there right. Why should we stop this it is mere stupidity i do agree though that it is the purpose of the UN to stop war and such but when talking does not work how else ahould we stop such attorcities from happeneing.

Although war causes much destruction and suffering, there are times when a nation must defend itself and its diginity by declaring war on the offending parties.
War should be used as a last resort for when negotiations have failed. It should be the obligatoin of the UN to ensure that if a country is wrongly attacked, that a force be sent in to help defend that nation. However, if two or more nations are at war for a justifiable reason, the UN should not need to interfere and let the war take its course.

Ping, Ping, Ping.

You cannot clamp down on war, in fact the right to declare R.P. war is a fundamental rule. Its part of the game.

Also, might I add, with the number of R.P. wars going on it would be logistically impossible for the U.N. to handle such rullings as you plan,

That is, if you use current game mechanics, which you must.

And if you propose to change game mechanics, the mods will strike you with a stick. :wink:

And lets not forget, in the event some one declares war and you do not want to take part, then it is a perfectly valid response to declare a firing of I.G.N.O.R.E. cannon/s, so as to signal your intentions to ignore and disregard and war R.P.

As war in this game is defined as an act between mutually consenting parties with one or more nations to each side.

Anything else?

Good point. THe mods are kind of lazy (ignore that I said that) and refuse to change game mechanics. This is because it ill put a massive bug in the game or the game has to be entirely written over again. HTis is why, also I like war RP so why stop it?

We're not "lazy", the refusal to change game mechanics is because of the following:

1. As a mod, I can't do a thing about the way the game works beyond deleting nations and so on. The actual mechanics are way out of my reach.

2. [violet] and the Admin can do things, but they're notoriously hard to convince.

3. Even when they are convinced, a major change like this tends to be put into the "Not Until NS2" basket.
