All non-planned wars ignored

A lot of idiots have been attempting to force me to RP with them, godmodding their way passed my full red alerts and my constant aerial patrols, my SAMs, etc, breaking all NS rules and CM rules for RPing with CM.

The only person currently planning a war with me is Axis Nova, and that is only because him and I agreed to start planning (We start planning via messenger soon)


All other wars are ignored and I urge you all to just go away and crawl back under the rock you came out of. You don't like it, tough...

It's been said before, but bears repeating.

If you want to roleplay a war with someone, contact that player in advance. Take some time and discuss the rules you both agree to, whether or not any other players will be permitted, what technology is allowed, etc. This takes time, but helps prevent the thread from degenerating into an unsatisfactory flame-fest.

Regardless of what your IC or OOC opinion of CM is, you have to have his agreement to get involved in a war with him on a free-form roleplaying forum.

TEO, this is a different thing. He won't even RP a legit surprise war. It's bloody stupid. He could quite easily RP taking it, but he won't, because he'll lose.

If you have all that then why don't you just take the attacks and defeat them with your SAM's, constant aeriel patrols exc. Half the fun of the rp's not knowin whats going to happen.

Ignoring properly roleplayed wars or attacks is a bad thing. Trying to force a war or attack upon another player without consulting with him before hand is also a bad thing.

Try talking to one another. TG everyone involved and start an OOC thread over on NS to discuss the problems. If CM refuses to allow more than one player at a time to attack him because he's worried he might get overwhelmed, that's a good reason to ignore him. If he refuses to RP with others because they're the wrong tech level or some similar excuse, that's a different story.

If a player isn't willing to roleplay for OOC reasons, just ignore him. In a free-form RP forum, you can't force anyone to game with you.
