How about an adopt-a-newb program? Do we already have one?
One has already been created, though I've seen these 'programs' being created before, and they don't usually stick around for too long. Only thing I can really suggest is that if any RP'er in II has time, offer help to a newer player that is willing to accept it. I personally don't think there should be any sort of 'exclusive club' for it.

The one thing that I strongly dislike about some of the earths is the fact that someone created one just because he wanted a specific territory, rather than looking at the rest of the earths to see that there is a lot of territory left. Also, the fact that some of the Earth creators decided to give themselves the most territory, while limiting others to a smaller amount (Not saying all Earths are like this, but there are a few out there that have done this). I suppose I could go in more depth on each Earth than I have previously, but I probably won't create a new thread for it.

Keep in mind most of them don't even exist anymore. I would do just a general thing on what they are, their usual purpose, and the like so people might be able to figure out what is the deal from there and then be able to say yes or no.

Roleplay is in the NS or II forums. More people tend to use the II forums. So, yes, just start a thread. One good way to start is to an embassy exchange thread, and get some allies. Or, you might want to announce your latest government move, and get some reactions. Or, of course, you can join an Open RP, if you don't want to start a thread yet.

Sure! It's freeform RP and as long as all parties understand what's happening and what they're going to and not going to do about it, then it's possible. Just make sure everyone actually knows what's happening.

No, it's just like international incidents, only some say better roleplays go there, although as far as I've read there's not much difference in terms of quality, just in terms of activity, in which I.I. is superior. Also, there tends to be more in the way of character RPing on NS, as opposed to wars.

That's a good summary, Mac.
I've never seen much point to the NS forums other than non-nation RPing.

I haven't either; as far as I've seen it's elitist and they only role play within themselves. The success of II can be attributed to the fact that we're much more open with newer role players, although I've seen inconsistencies with that and a lot of players turned away from I.I.

I am really frustrated with this one guy who is Godmodding and I need a way to deal with him. Any tips?First of all, explain OOCly why what he's doing is Godmodding and suggest how he can avoid doing that. Second, if he refuses to follow that suggestion, let him know that certain actions are going to be ignored. If he still persists, ignore him.
That's the sequence I usually follow. Then again, I'm not exactly known for my patience or my ability to forgive.

Hello. I have been looking around but there seems to be nothing on how to establish yourself as a certain tech nation or rules on it anywhere. Whats reasonable for the different tech levels for example? Do you just make a thread saying this is my nation, what should I change? Somewhat confused here.
Well I don't know as much on this as other people might but i'm willing to help.
PT or Past Tech is based from primative times to the Dark Ages and the advent of Gunpowder.
MT or Modern Tech is all the stuff that is used today, you can base it off real life weapons and equipment or make it up based on real life principles
PMT or Post Modern Tech is slightly advanced Modern Tech, the way i've seen it described is tech capable of colonising Mars
FT or Future Tech is wierd in the way that it seems to bend so many rules, ray guns and the like, Faster Than Light travel is a guide
the there are the more obscure techs like PreMT which is based off the age of the British Empire, NFT or New Future Tech which is based off Starship Troopers and there are other techs which have vanished over time.

You do what interests you; if you like the future, you do that; if you like ancient warfare, you do that. Then, you just start a thread in the mindset of whatever technological era you chose and hope that someone gets involved.

There are really no bounds to what you can do in a roleplay as long as you respect your opponent. In other words, it's fine if your opponent agrees to it. Roleplaying in general is oftentimes the cooperation between multiple roleplayers, and it's the same case in this scenario.

Excuse me if this has already been considered but why not merge this thread with the consolidation thread? It would ensure that Euroslavia's help reaches the RPers, and it would be space efficient.
We were talking about this on General, and wouldn't it be cool if we had some sort of visual presentation to supplement the ESHH? The ESHH can be a bit intimidating to newbs when they first get here, so why not give them a powerpoint (or something similar) loaded with helpful stuff, with links to the threads on NS?

I'd really like to see a NS Diplomatic Handbook type of thread -- for explaining all the various quirks and etiquette of diplomacy: who to send; how to write trade agreements; the various types of alliances; how to create a favourable impression at a peace conference; and so on. I haven't seen anything similar around here, but I might be wrong... Mostly to help us newbs who have gotten past the basics and want to move on to more complicated stuff. :)

OK, so I think it is time to make an addition to these "Helpful Hints."
Too often these days I see people who go over budget, or combine budget, to buy weaponry for their army. We need to let these people know that if they use all their law and order budget on guns, then they won't have a police force that year. Also, that their budgets include the cost of maintaining weaponry, not just purchasing it. An economy calculator doesn't do you any good if you don't know how to use it...

Well, really, this thread needs to be unstickied because it can be linked from the consolidation thread. I swore there was a guide to military procurement, but I can't find it on the consolidation thread. This comes close:

What's the troop percentage for a nation? I thought it was 1% of population and 4% at wartime.

It depends, it really depends. A nation in a complete war being invaded can bring up to 5% of their population into the armed forces, but they will be low quality conscripts, and equipment will suffer equally. Most nations have below, sometimes well below, 1% of their population in the armed forces. The lower the better. Remember that the more people in the armed forces the less are working on the economy, which means your economy suffers. As well, the more in the less is put into individual training, or better equipment as more needs to be spent on simple maintenence and of course there is just more people around.
One of the stickies details it quite well.
Edit: Linkey.

It always confused me that the U.S. put so many men and women into the Armed Forces, at around 16.5 million of them, and yet their economy thrived, unlike the Doom economy you are describing. And I think it was around three percent of their population.

Umm... the US has just over a million men in it's armed forces, total. In fact, at the height of the cold war it didn't go much higher then that.
Unless you're talking durring the second world war, where there were rather differing circumstances, like comming right out of a depression, and imediately after where they had a lot of skilled labour suddenly infused into the economy.

I was talking about WW2. Currently we have 2.4 million, IIRC.

Including reserves and civillian workers. And look at how the economy needs to bring in illegal immigrants to continue. And that is not an argument I will keep going with here, it's an NSG thing go debate it there.
Edit: 2.2 million by any source I find.

In regards to role-playing it you have to write it out - that's assuming that region role plays. Otherwise, I don't know the rules of region invasions [where you flood the region and take control] - I don't play that sort of game here.

Who, exactly has been ignoreing you? From what I read of the conflict, you've really realized the error of your ways, and look to be a good RP'er. If you RP well enough, people should be happy to go to war with you.

My guess is he's unhappy about your assaulting him at the beginning. My suggestion would be to TM him an apology, and if he ignores you, that's his loss.

My suggestion is to go through some more threads here, read 'em, and telegram someone who you believe seems like a great person to RP with. Majority of the people here would be glad to roleplay with you, and help you learn more about it.
