NationStates Jolt Archive

I know I am a newcomer here, perhaps to this universe of Role Playing, this style, expect I've been here longer than this nation has actually.

-Tulrania
-Anagonia
-Rovan

Those are most of my long-planted nations in the dark, which I never rp through. Anywho, I came to ask if my skills from many Boards and many Styles of RP can be used as either a Moderator, or perhaps a helper to Mods, unofficially. I ask that I be able to assist you Mods in your duties of preventing spam and unfairness in Role Playing, as with disrespectfulness in the Forums.

I do NOT blame any Mods for not trusting my words, for I have no actual proof of being at other boards, just being here with these nations names. I know its hard to believe, but as a Veteran Role Player from many types of Universes of RP and a Newcomer to this RP, I ask you consider, perhaps not a Mod, but someone that can help instead of standing by.

If not, then I shall go my way, be happy as I always am here, and go about my duties of being a Fair Role Player to my Fellow RPers, and being respectful to those whom I speak OOC, or in General, to.

Thank you.

I know about that, and I know about dedication of time. However its my belief that Authority above me, for example the Mods, deserve not my intrusion into their territorial bounds of "law and order", so-to-speak. That is why I ask, because there is no specific why I could do something without fearing a Moderator telling me to "please leave this to us" or whatever, not saying in a mean and rude way, just that it would be terrible for me to have such a thing said to me.

I like to make good examples of my Role Playing Abilities, Respect for Others, and Helpfullness, yes, but I RESPECT Authority, Offline and Online, and I will by no means insult a Moderator by stepping into his or her boundry of work. I am sorry about that, I do help here and there, just not to be noticed. I show the respect to Authority by not disrespecting or saying something out-of-truth or order.

Intern, thats why I ask this.

Well, at this time we are not looking for any new moderators- however there is a player-organized effort for a sort of 'roleplay mod' group- players volunteering to serve as referees in roleplay wars and the like.

Reppy- When we get the new Jolt hosting, will there be new mods? I shudder to think how many people will be abusing the unlimited amount of forum time and making trouble... :shock:

Thanks Reploid, I'll do what I can in the meantime about the Group thing, if I find out about it.

You need any mods, I ask you look into me, for I would like to help out any way possible, even if its just going about my business, like I'm doing now.....or fixen to do....anywho.

I'll second that question. There is tha potential for spammer attacks.

I think a wait-and-see approach would be best. Get the better hosting, then introduce more mods if and when they become needed.

Jolt hosting whats that? I have been in isolation in the Heartland to long.

Also, :cry: :wink: Rep, I accidentially deleted your TG to me, when I deleted the UN TG. LOL! So if you could resend it I'd appreicate it. Thanks.

Jolt hosting is where NS II is going to be hosted when it makes it debut.

[20:10] <Scolopendra> From Goobergunchia: "What are the upcoming plans for improving the forums?
[20:10] <MaxBarry> lol
[20:10] * Karmabaijan sets mode: -v Goobergunchia
[20:10] <MaxBarry> A very good question. :)
[20:10] <MaxBarry> The funny thing with the forums is that I really just stuck it on the game as an afterthought
[20:11] <MaxBarry> I thought, "I guess people might want to talk about their nations, so I'll add a bulletin board"
[20:11] * Baud has left #nationstates
[20:11] <MaxBarry> And they've been so popular that, well, they've really struggled in terms of reliability
[20:11] * Starry-eyed has joined #nationstates
[20:12] <MaxBarry> Despite everything we've tried to do to keep them responsive, they've been getting worse and worse
[20:12] * FelixAvinn|Konania has left #nationstates
[20:12] <MaxBarry> However, I have some good news on this front :)
[20:12] <MaxBarry> For the last few months I've been talking to a British gaming company called Jolt
[20:12] <MaxBarry> www.jolt.co.uk
[20:12] <TheSLAGLands> [/shamelessplug]
[20:12] <MaxBarry> At first about creating a sequel game, NationStates 2, but then also about this game
[20:13] * BaudegundisTheBloody has joined #nationstates
[20:13] <MaxBarry> Jolt run a variety of online games at the moment, and have the kind of juicy hardware and bandwidth that we need
[20:14] * Konania has joined #nationstates
[20:14] <MaxBarry> We've come to an agreement whereby they'll code up and manage NationStates 2, based on my plan for it
[20:14] <MaxBarry> And they'll also take on hosting of NationStates 1
[20:14] <MaxBarry> I.e. this game :)
[20:14] <MaxBarry> This means that while NationStates will remain essentially the same, it will have professional level hosting
[20:14] <MaxBarry> and WORKING FORUMS
[20:15] * Menelmacar|Siri yays!
[20:15] * Reploid_Productions cheers
[20:15] <Neutered_Sputniks> Told ya guys it was comin :P
[20:15] <MaxBarry> which will be a relief to most of you as much as it is to me
[20:15] * DreadLadyNathicana cheers loudly!
[20:15] * FS has joined #nationstates
[20:15] <MaxBarry> Jolt and I are in the process of getting ready for moving the game across right now
[20:15] <[violet]> And of course, when we make the move, the site will be down for a few days to make sure we move everyone's nations properly
[20:15] * Scolopendra holds up the "APPLAUSE" sign.
[20:15] * Menelmacar|Siri applauds.
[20:15] * Treznor applauds wildly!
[20:15] <Karmabaijan> OK! Thanks for the question Goober, some big news on the forums front!
[20:16] <[dredd]> Finally.
[20:16] * MaxBarry snickers.
[20:16] <TheSLAGLands> Oh, and if I may supplement here, Max...
[20:16] * DreadLadyNathicana sets mode: +v Pergutoria
[20:16] <TheSLAGLands> Will the Jolt initiative cost money for the players of NationStates 1?
[20:16] <MaxBarry> No, it's the same game, same setup, just on a different host
