Message from Flaming Souls:
Concerning - RP Exams

As I sit here, I contemplate the purpose of RP tests as admissions into alliances or anything RP related. Nowadays it seems standard fare. So, what is the true purpose of an RP test? Is it perhaps for elitists to have a reason to laugh at those they deem lower than themselves?

Don't think so. Is it to restrict entrance to only those with excellent RP skills? Hopefully not. So by now you must be wondering yourself. Well, in my opinion, the real purpose of RP tests is simple.

It is merely feedback for you. Wether you pass or fail, you are giving constructive criticism. You should take that criticism and look back over your past RP's. Say to yourself 'Is this a consistent problem or is it just developing?' and 'What can I do to use this criticism to better myself?' So, there you sit, about to take an RP test to get into an alliance. They present you with a scenario that would never happen in your nation for whatever reason.

Ok, what do you do? Say 'I need a new test, this doesn't apply to me?'... I should hope not. You should say simply - 'Interesting, how can I approach this' and give it your best shot. If you pass, congrats, if you fail. Retry later when you feel ready. So why should you not say 'Conform your standards to my abilities?' Well that is simple. RPing is never predictable, you must be able to adapt to situations you never expected. So take what you get and run with it. If you can't do it, you are not unimaginative, you just haven't looked that way before. Do some research and retry. But if you give up on a test before you even try, then why are you even bothering the testers time? Think about this...

The Imperial Dynasty and the Coalitionist Congress are interested in this alliance. We shall undergo approval to enter this alliance as soon as possible. However we must state that our 'open' boarders may not be as open as others seeing as we have always been a isolationist and paranoid people. However we will allow IUSS ships to pass if they have correct IDen.

Thank You,

Approved By The Imperial Ministry of Affairs
Approved By The Congressional Council of Foreign Affairs

OOC: The Imperium and Congress are just different branches, they both represent the people (although the Imperium is the military)

The Allied Union of Velkya (FT Version, of course)'s Senate has become interested in the alliance and has voted 239-402 to approve Velkya's entry into it.

We would be possibly interested in joining the IUSS as a provisional member.
Also in relation to articles 3A/B, 4A, 6B/E we have a few questions:
3A: Does this require trade between member nations?
3B: If there is no trade between member nations, is this required?

4A: Should a member nation not have any territory, how is this article dealt with?

6B: What would be the required forms of contribution either military or economic?
6E: Is this to fall outside of the member nation's control, essentially putting members of a nation's military under foreign control in which the nation has no control over said soldiers?

ooc: As to the tests, how would they be dealt with if not relavent/possible for situation to arrise in nation?

ooc: As to the tests, how would they be dealt with if not relavent/possible for situation to arrise in nation?

1: Yes and no, you have to accept a certain ammount of trade, as in, you cannot close all doors.

2: There has to be a measure of trade between members.

3: Special Circumstances

4: It can be a crumb of bread or an entire battlegroup

5: The soldiers are under the control of the Senior Council, who virtually represents your nation. It helps if you are actually ON the senior council. There are actual political partys, which makes the entire thing more fun.


Tests guage RP ability, nothing more.
