At this school for godmodders and new RPers, you will be taught how to RP correctly. Here is the curriculum:

1: Learn how large your military is.
2: Basic RPing
3: Advanced RPing
4: The Final Test

The Final Test is an RP battle in which you must demonstrate what you have learned in school.

There is a region that does all of this. Role Play University.....

And who does the grading? And what are the grades based upon?

[OOC: I actually took a RP test to be admitted into the ESUS. It can be a very interesting tool for new countries.]

Nobody does the grading, but one shall know great RPing when one sees it.

I'd say the amount of views a thread gets relative to the amount of posts in it.


Divide the number of posts by the number of the views.


The lower the number, the better the RP. Anything under .20 is probably a good RP, either that or just attracting lots of attention for some reason.

Anything .15 or lower is probably getting into very good RPs.

Anything lower is probably either very popular or very excellent.

Good question! I will do the grading! Your grades will be based on:

1. Reasonability(Meaning, did you send a reasonable amount of troops and did you not godmod?)
2. Length of RP(Meaning, did you not send a huge force of 1,000,000 men in one line and did you specify what you were planning to do?)
3. Interest Factor(Meaning, did you make an RP that is interesting?)
4. Battle Outcome of the Final Test

Each grade will be worth 25 points.

Excellent RPer= 100-95 points
Good RPer=94-85 points
Reasonable RPer=84-80 points
Poor RPer=79-70 points
Godmodder/Terrible RPer= 69 points and below

I also need other people to teach when I can't

Just in case anybody whos thinking of what a good rp is and would like an example of one (in my opinion) then they should check out this link

While no where near finished atm i believe that it is pretty good :)


On CM's scale method thingy it comes out as a 0.10

Roleplaying is more than simply open conflict and battles, it incorporates a lot more. Such as the political side of war (Senates and Parliaments voting for delcaration, aims of government in conflict, etc.) and the home front (how the war is taking its toll on your nation's population and economy) to name a few.

Dude. Cheers mate...

Dude. Cheers mate...

Heh nps. I am only speaking the truth.

I may be interested, just to see what Rping here at Nationstates is like.

OOC:I'll do it. Can I do it? Because I've tried to RP and Ive had people call me a n00b. I know I'm new, but i dont think I'm a horrible RPer. I want to do it to see where to improve.

One helpful tip about WMDs: Even if you acquire, say, 1000 missiles, use a few at a time and sparingly. Don't underestimate their effect. Besides, the RP is always more interesting that way.

OOC: Can I do it? Because I've never been called a noob here and i don't want to... But then this would go against by ethics of not letting myself be a part of conformity of such expamples of public schooling. But... This is free will so... Can I do It?
Edit: But I really just need to know what people are talking about when reffering to short names of diffrent kind of nuclear missiles.

OOC:I wouldn't think about using wmds...and on this site they are over-used. Nations come out of the gate saying "I'll nuke you." I'd like to explore the special forces side of war. I'm afraid to respond to conflicts because I'll get nuked by someone's friend. WMD (especially nuclear weapons) are supposed to be a last resort and in NS they are the leading weapon. I have never seen anyone spy or anything like that. WMD I think would be hard to RP because you cant characterize with a nuke. The best thing would be the nation's reaction to sending the nuke and I've never seen that. I figure that everyone had to start somewhere, why is it such a bad thing to be new? I'm new to NS but im interested in world politics and RP'ing. Sorry for ranting, I just get frustrated sometimes.

This sounds like an excellent idea, please advise me as to any other measures our nation needs to take to participate in this exercise.

I also need other people to teach when I can't

If you've seen my RPs and judge that I can teach something, let me know and I'll help where I can.

I'll help where i can. just tel me what to do...

It would be nice to see more realistic RP going on in here, and McLeod03's post is an excellent example I thought.

Enough with the indestructible half mile long battleships, lets get more nitty gritty real world military rp going.
