I have a great idea for war, well sort of. a kind of war of regions, so that it would be a way of taking over regions. just get lots of people to go into one region and become the UN delegate and then you could kick out the founder, i know that is kinda lousy but it is a good way of competition. it would also inspire people to start there own regions. :( :mp5:

What a great idea. And -- *gasp* -- it actually is already happening! And has been happening since about December 2002! Someone else already had this idea before you! It just proves that great minds think alike, doesn't it? Wow, I never would have imagined that someone would ever come up with something so brilliant!

Skytzos: invasion/defending is already a part of the game. You should definitely check the One Stop Rules Shop, stickied in Moderation, and the Gameplay stickies, for rules and advice. In particular, you might need to be careful about your idea of kicking out the Founder: ejecting natives is a tricky area, and it can under certain circumstances be deemed illegal. I wish you luck with your Gameplay.

(Czardas: how helpful is this, really? You attitude to new players, despite all your guides to help them, seems to becoming increasingly short-tempered and snappy. There's nothing wrong with being sarcastic, but if people haven't yet got the game fully figured out - which, after 8 months of being here, you clearly have - can't you just try to offer some helpful advice, rather than adding these sorts of jibes as well? It doesn't seem an especially friendly welcome.)

(I was kind of in a bad mood the other day, I guess. I did mention that I'm completely ruled by my moods? No? Well, anyway, that's probably the reason why I have no friends, among other things. I can write a helpful guide for *insert something here* and then turn around and act like this towards people. It's too much for most people to understand. And, on another note, why is it that you seem determined to criticize and dismiss everything I do? TG me, because we're hijacking.)

If you took the idea back to the drawing board, then come back with it, that might be interesting. Such as making an rp war, soley between two regions and their inherent members at the time of the wars start, would be cool. Kind of like a world war, except its a region war.

It might be a bit unbalanced if one region is stronger than another, but then you would just have to be diplomatic and try not to piss people (regions) off.

And just have a person who can (hopefully) act as the impartial GMW to watch over the rp, then it should all be good and fun.
