I'm not happy with this thread.

I don't like this thread one bit, it seems as though this (possibly) puppet nation is asking for others to gang up on another nation.
However it seems a little too OOC and looks more like it's ganging up on the player.

Could you have a look please?

I know this is you thread Valkrja, but it seems like a good idea to ask right now.
Mods, can you please check who is using the nation who started this thread?

We don't 'out' puppets on request, especially when it isn't obvious whether this is bad RP or OOC attacking. Also, there is no nation "Valkrja" alive or dead.

I'll leave the actual ruling to a mod who is more familiar with II roleplay. In the meantime, I gotta say, it looks pretty iffy.

Well, it's not as though it's getting much support now, is it? I'd treat it as the joke it is, and laugh it off. I mean honestly now - it's just silly.

I'm just really concerned on who is actually threatening me. But if you can't help me with that, that's fine.

Again, I fail to see a real threat here. Just some kid yammering to himself, and getting you all in a stir over nothing. Seriously, let it go and laugh it off. Giving it any credence is far more than it deserves.

Well ok. But whoever it was was threatening to go to war with me, wich is suicidal because of their nation size.

... and your point is?

Anyone can numberwank. Numbers aren't everything, nor is (nation)size. And all this here is a prime example of how not to run war rp, or why to run it, or if one uses the examples at hand, who not to get into war with, though perhaps not for the reasons you might immediately think.

Anyways, bedtime is now. Hopefully, in spite of some unknown gunning for you, stirring up dissent, and having the audacity to dare challenge you, you can move on. /very dry tone. After all, moderation is not the place to argue RP.

Well, in all seriousness, it HAS become a thread for spam *coughs*

Anyway, unless were allowed to do a continuation RP for senseless topics, then I have no idea what other use that thread would be for.

Thats just my point-of-view.

Agreed. I fail to see how this thread is offensive. It happens all of the time in II. Consider how many times it's happened to Automagfreek, and see how he deals with it everytime. He takes it as a challenge, rather than getting upset about it. That's what you have to do, if you want to roleplay in II long-term.

However, after looking over the thread, it has turned into spam, and I'm going to lock it. If they want another thread for it, they'll create one.

actually, I never actually thought of it as offensive, I just felt a bit threatened, and I already have enough RPs to go through, so I just wanna know who this person is and then deal with them later

You felt 'threatened' by a brand new unknown who made one post and then left it while you scrambled around looking foolish? I'm getting the impression that perhaps the lesson that could be learned of this won't be, from all your subsequent posts. Alas.

Jolt has an ignore function. Use it.

If you have enough RP's, telegram them saying that you don't want to get into another one. It's as simple as that.

so I just wanna know who this person is and then deal with them later

As Frisbeeteria said, that information isn't for you to know. Case closed.
