NationStates Jolt Archive

Solenial is already reasonably well established in the world of NS already but, I want to start a small war with say 2-6 nations, which will have no effect on your Economy or Military to help raise noob's and my RP'ing skills. When we get a reasonable amount of people, it will take place in the thread called 'The Regional Predicament'

THis is an excellent idea. I'll join.

Thanks :)

me too, ofcourse.

Yeah okay :):):)

I'd love to join


but just so i'm clear


this is COMPLETELY practice, there are no actual consequences, and this does not reflect my nations current state of affairs?


if that's true, i'd love to get a chance to stretch my legs and build up my rp'ing

Am I too experienced for this?

i'll join

How do you feel about a PMT nation joining?

Welcome everyone...

NO consequences will occur, no-one can turn around and say "Oh well you've just had war" because this is COMPLETELY Practise

I guess a PMT Nation would be okay, as long as you accept it's not a huge advantage, thing's like a New & Improved 2012 Challenger 2 would be okay, but no light-sabers or anythin dodgy :p

New Britonnia, no-one's TOO experienced, Practice makes perfect, remember that...

Okay we'll split it into two sides called,

RE-

Solenial
One World Alliance
Bredford

CO-

New Brittonia
Kirav
Cazelia

Neu-

Green Hawk



It doesn't matter what kind of Political Division you support, just think of it as Side 1 & 2... there's 6 of us so 3 on each side (For a Politician, i have good Maths!! :P)

i go with Republicans. but i think you better do a story before we start.

I'd like to join if i still can

Green Hawk uses nano technology, unmanned walking mechs and some other stuff, but as long as MT nations use their most up to date stuff then it should be fair. If everyone is okay with that then I'm in. :D

you CAN join Cookesland, so we need one more person

I'll join the Republicans.


But I second the motion for some sort of a backdrop to all this, a story leading up to this war if you will.

-snip-

i'll be communists

At first I'll be on my own side then I'll join the Republicans later in the rp. If that is okay.

How do you feel about a PMT nation joining?

I'm PMT as well, but since there's very few PMT rp's, I rp as a scientifically-superior nation.
I'll go with the Republicans.

Okay we need some Communists, everyone else is a communist... :p

Sorry Kirav can you be a communist?

Sure.

I have no experience at all of NS roleplaying but I do have experience with character based freeform roleplay on online forums. Is this a good place to start? If so I'll join on any side.

I saw you mentioned consequences. Might as well ask this right away... I'd like to roleplay an entirely different kind of nation then the kind I like to play NS as. Would that work or are people going to protest and say "Wait, you said you have 15 million citizens but your NS nation has 570 million." or "Wait, you claim to be a direct democracy but your NS nation is a dictatorship with fake elections and little political freedoms."?

i don't think they're is really anything that would restrict you from doing so


but why would you want to rp with a smaller pop than your ns nation shows?


that would mean you would have a smaller military (and a lot less fun)

Because 570 million would be a very large nation in reality. I think a smaller rogue nation would be more interesting to play then a superpower. And at the rate it's growing it'll enter ridiculous numbers eventually.

Compared to real nations 15 million would be about right. But on second thought I should compare to NS nations instead. How much population can an NS nation have before becoming a superpower?

Can I roleplay higher stats compared to NS? My NS nation has very high taxes and has hurt business in other ways as well while I'd like to roleplay a more pro business nation with good economy.

OOC: To me 1 billion population is a power and anything above 5 billion is a super power, but the definition is mostly on the point of view of the nation/rp'er.

EDIT (Didn't see the other question): Again on the point of view of the rp'er. To me you can rp your nation as you please, but others (mostly stat wankers) want you to rp as what your NS nation tells you. So it's mostly on who you are rp'ing with and if they are okay with what you are doing.

and since this is all practice, i can't really see why anyone would have a real big beef about it
