Hi everybody, I am a noob. I say this because I cannot create an International Incidents thread that will last through to the end. I've tried everything that I thought sounded cool and I can't tell what causes them to die so soon. Here they are:

i dont rp, but i would guess they need to be more global and more political.
YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG (internets reference for the astute reader)
Unfortunately, I can't help you with RPing. I can come up with great ideas, but I'm just never able to get them to be properly roleplayed. Maybe you could practice in some of the General RP threads (if they ever come back?) to get a feel for the II roleplay and then try again.
Welcome to general, though and best of luck. :cool:

I thought you were only able to rp in the International Incidents thread.

My suggestion would be to read the stickies in International Incidents and in Nationstates; to lurk and get a feel of how RPs are done in these here parts, and possibly to ask nations whom you see are helpful and are good RPers if they can make any suggestions for you.

Honestly it isnt you. Most people on NS dont really care about RPs that arent about
1) Massive war because of injustices to humans in that and other nations
2) Suitor RPs where nations get to play Elimidate
3) Various Past Tech and Future Tech that usually has war in it
Ill say this, I like the AntiChrist thread. Hell if i werent on hiatus at the time, i would've joined.
Also it helps to be a good storyteller.
It looks like alot of the player hijacked the majority of your RPs. That can always end a potentially good RP.
