To everyone out there who has been shocked or saddened when their make-believe forces were decimated, to the nations that are newer than us (NTANTU, better word, doncha think?), and to all interested, here I am announcing how to win in free-form roleplaying:
You roleplay better.
Plain and simple. If you have a war and your enemy smashes you, that's not bad. Because if you RP'd better than he did, in the hearts and minds of the observers, you will have won.

Example:
Nation 1:
my ships attack my plains shoot missiles at you you have no chance to survive make your time
Nation 2:
The Nation 1ian warplanes streaked over the skies. Missiles swarmed from them and hit the Nation 2ian line. Nation 2ian marines fell in the hundreds.
((I know Nation 2's post wasn't very good, I just made it up on the spot))
See that? Nation 2 is kicking Nation 1's butt.

Your reputation improves if you RP good, but even more if you RP mercifully.
Example:
Nation Z:
Help my nation has been Nucked millions are Ded Please Help Me
Nation X:
Nucked? That's not a word.
Nation Y:
Nation Y sends its sincere condolences for this awful event. We are sending 400 million USD and our famed Reconstruction Corps...
See? Nation Y has won.

((Sorry if this has been overposted, I just had to write this))

Yeah but you need to remember to NEVER POST THE ENEMIES LOSSES, you can give them a general estimate, but saying the enemie's losses is considered god-modding, if they exagerate their losses to make them seem meager, then it would no doubt look like they are god-modding, and in the hearts and minds of everyone=They're a god-modder
