Well after laughing, it's on to phase two of my plan. If you'd actually read the FAQ you'd know that you can't technically go to war with another nation. You can role play it in this forum though, if you really want; for information on RPing, check out some of the stickies in this forum. I haven't looked yet, but I'll assume that your nation is new. I'd advise against declaring war on anyone in this forum until you're a bit bigger.

Official Imperial Statement

Emperor Alexei has decided that the nation of St Heliers is so pathetically uneducated that it deserves nothing less than full annexation. Upon incorporation into The Empire, St Heliers will be taught skills such as proper grammar and spelling, common sense, and how to tie one's own shoes. If you refuse, your lands will be consumed with fire, and your women mercilessly violated. This will be very uncomfortable for you. Have a nice day.

You'll also find a lot of people get unnecessarily worked up over spelling, and the way you're typing right now is actually physically hurting them. I personally don't care about spelling so much, so long as I can read what you're tying to say it's fine by me. But some people, a lot of people here in fact, will actually ignore you for making excessive mistakes and/or talking in 'txt'. Just some advice... try you're best to spell properly, and you'll have an easier time of it on the forums.

You should really start out playing this game by reading the FAQs...And you should also read some of the other "good" threads to provide yourself an example of how to play. I would recommend on looking at a: War thread (i.e. The Shivian Menace (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=350464)) , Non-War thread (i.e.Eve of Spring (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=344134)), and a Store-Front thread (i.e. Quality CM Weaponry... (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=351398)). I would recommend on starting a Store-Front, and start to learn RPing from there...Try selling what your country is good at producing (i.e. Uranium, Autos, etc, etc...)

And you better fix your grammar if you are seriously going to RP here.

To the rest of you, countries, quit harassing this new country and try to help him learn the game!

You see, you can tell us your troop movements, you can tell us the layout of the land, your strategy, and your losses, but if you can't tell us the movements, strategy or losses of another person, that's their job. Otherwise, someone could just say:

"Hey, I go into your nation, and I kill everyone. No-one survives and you loose! Now get outta the forum, 'cause you don't have anyone left alive!"

That's an extreme example of an excellent way to be ignored. You should also look into the armies of similarly sized nations to get a realistic balance.

You post your actions, ie:

"My tanks open fire upon your tanks, behind a headgerow"

Then they post their losses:

"Shells slam into my tanks destroying three of them. Two of my tanks return fire and the other eight turn wildly attempting to avoid your shells."

Except obviously better written than that so it's more fun.

What you cant do is post the enemy's losses:

"My tanks open fire on yours, destroying eight of them. Your tanks cant fire back because they're stunned"

And the enemy can't post really low losses:

"All of your shells bounced off my tanks' armour. The tank crews werent even slightly bothered by your pitiful anti-tank cannon." (unles of course you're firing a really crap anti-tank cannon)

That's called godmodding and can get you ignored. When you're ignored the other person doesnt recognise your existance and it's bad because then you have fewer people to RP with. If you godmod a lot then everyone will ignore you and you cant RP.

What's your MSN? Mine is mike9993@hotmail.com, add me if you want and I'll teach you to RP.

Now spelling and grammar are generally important in NS. They make a post look better and definately more enjoyable to read. Even a terrible spelt absolutely correctly isnt too bad, because it looks better and is easier to read. At the same time an excellent post which is badly written is viewed as bad because it's hard to read and therefore not enjoyable to do so. RP is like story writing, but more dynamic because there's someone else on the other side.

I agree, it's not a game everyone enjoys because the rolplay aspect is much different from your average RPG. However, that doesn't stop people from trying to help their fellow Nations to learn the ropes so they can enjoy the gameplay we do. I'm sickened by the way people were treating that Newbie, surely you must all remember a time when you were that young? Do not deny it because everyone must begin somewhere. Whether you had the intelligence to read the FAQs and adaptation to learn from others or not, you were still daunted by this huge experience at one time or another.

Whether you listen to my preach or not, at least go away and think about how you should treat new Nations in future. Part of the fun of this game is the huge interactivity you don't normally get, and the chance to meet people from all over the World.

I agree, it's not a game everyone enjoys because the rolplay aspect is much different from your average RPG. However, that doesn't stop people from trying to help their fellow Nations to learn the ropes so they can enjoy the gameplay we do. I'm sickened by the way people were treating that Newbie, surely you must all remember a time when you were that young? Do not deny it because everyone must begin somewhere. Whether you had the intelligence to read the FAQs and adaptation to learn from others or not, you were still daunted by this huge experience at one time or another.

Whether you listen to my preach or not, at least go away and think about how you should treat new Nations in future. Part of the fun of this game is the huge interactivity you don't normally get, and the chance to meet people from all over the World.

Well, yes. First you have to find the book Max wrote. Then you go online. Then you find this place.

Takes time to read the book. Particularly when you have to hunt it down because you're in the southern US... (insert your joke here).
