In my moderate length of time here at NS I have seen many threads, mostly good, but some bad.
The saddest thing though, that has leapt up at me is that just one little encounter between two people and/or two opposing forces can lead to bad blood and the gradual death or immediate lockdown of the thread. It usually is over these two things...
1.) The combat abilities.
2.) The political implications.
Let me explain, the first pretty much means one side thinks he is better even though he may (or may not) be better. This can lead to a flame war as most players devolve into just calling each other idiot, or stonewalling the continuation of the thread..
The second on eh other hand is the same yet different. This is usually seen less because most battles with no official moderator is usually bang em up with little if any thought to “political“ implications on either side. This means if one player suspects that the opponent’s people/troops/whatever is near the breaking point of running or other deeper political motivation, like communism spread but the other may think the population is still strong and supporting the monarch government.
Those two are the deepest foes of a good RP, so that is why I am making this thread to combat
loud mouth fools who think they can have their way solely for that or a big post count and anti-realism.
I will attempt to use as much facts as I can and use real life incidents for a base line to judge everything off of.
I will not moderate any threads with their own moderators, this will only make me look incompetent and offend he other mods (they would now think that you think that they can‘t think, get it?) Also I am not trying to be the official mod, I will not condemn anything other than anti-realism. That means flaming wars I will try to stop with facts but some or too far gone and will need official help. Some people have voiced concern about me being like a self-appointed mod, I am not. I don't think I am better or worse than he people I am judging, just not biased against one section. That ,I hope, will be enough for all and any RPers (with the facts of course).
I am human (surprisingly) and getting my attention is easy, just telegram me or post it here. Once you do I will skip over to your thread where you may imply whether it is a one event or maybe the entire battle. I will
not try to be the permanent mod of any RPs as then I would surely be stretching m abilities to get on the internet. Once I have made my decision I hope everyone will abide by it and not to flame me. I will of course listen to arguments in favor as my view is far reaching not all seeing. I will excuse myself if the RP involves me directly and/or I had past (positive or negative) RPs with the nation(s)
