Invasion of the RPers

The Gameplay forum is less than a week old, and already RPers re trying to take it over for their not strictly IC threads. Could you wonderful people please move the following threads into NS or II? :)

(I'd have asked earlier, but I was up in ME, without web access.)

I know that some of these threads seem to have been moved into Gameplay, so I'll explain the situation (please here me out):

The reason that we got this much support was because so many people who play the game did not feel comfortable discussing it in NationStates, which was being taken over by RPers, and became wholly their territory. Now that they have two forums just for RP, they can use one of them for discussions of concept and recruitment and one for the RP, leaving us our forum in In-Game activities (crashing, mottos, regional recruitment, etc.)

Concept of RP Threads (More NationStates I'd say)

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=108980
http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=108571

That's all that I found so far, but as I see more I'll add them.

Happy Holidays,

Also: Two more threads that are about RP:

I posted.

And as the mods are apparently not allowed to intervene, let us petition the admin.

Neut has intervened

I've gone ahead and stepped in. There are already two forums devoted to RP - II is IC, and NS is OOC. Gameplay will be for those who wish to discuss the playing of NationStates, but is NOT for RP.

Ah, so NOW NationStates is back OOC, the description said [In-Character] last time I checked... then I have no problem posting my threads there now, I just didn't want them locked for being OOC, and Gameplay seemed logical.

It's not mandatory IC, there for classified as OOC.. Using common sense when 100% detail is not used is good..

Game RP is region crashing with a theme, not at all like the RP that was taking place.

And regional RP is pretty muchly limited to "I hate so-and-so's region/the delegate in here sucks/so-and-so invaded so-and-so/move to such-and-such a region!" ... not like what was appearing in GamePlay.

Thanks and praise again to Neut :D

I've posted this in a different thread, but the posting about Role Play University is Gameplay - not and ic posting.

RPU as we call it does not participate in RPing as a region, but rather promotes the knowledge needed to operate in the other forums.

I believe that recruitment to a region is allowed in Gameplay, and thus this moved post should be allowed in the new forum.

Ahh yes, my apologies Wolf. I saw "Role Play University, and my reaction was "concept of RPing. *cut* *paste* *submit* *report*"

Although I'm not sure that posting this on three threads would be more effective than starting one new thread for it. . .

ahh. Too much wine - overreaction. My bad. Thanks for being open though.

I'd rather it in Gameplay if that doesn't meet any objections. It relates to regional politics.

And I'm moving it from Gameplay back to NationStates where I first moved it.

As it more closely relates to forum RP, it will go in the OOC forum ;)

I'm glad your being so vigalent with this Qaa. In all honesty, all the RPing does keep my out of some forums, and likely would discourage me from spending much time in the new forum, if it were to be overrun that is.

Haven't made it to the new forum yet, few more threads to read, looking forward to it.
