Want a un-baised Thrid Party

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)

Actualy I'm not, mods usually never try (or mabe can't those specifications you can bring up with them) to judge relism in threads and usually only stop big flames. I am just tryin to keep people good and have a default relism line to point to.

Thing is, although I commend the thought (which is what is supposed to count), I agree that this will only become a joke. You may attempt (like any real mod) to cool flaming and to stop unrealism, but the fact of the matter is those who are committing that which hurts this forum will only continue to do it. What power will you hold against those who dont take your advise or uphold to what you believe as real?

Keep in mind that there are those who constantly defy the real mods day in and day out, why would they respect you more? Because your not a "Mod" your a "Judge". People just wont buy it, sorry to say it. I am just expressing to you my opinion on the matter, if you hate me for it I will delete this very post and remain quiet.

If you want to come to a region that RPs with realism and doesnt tolerate that which you do not, come to my region and our forum. We DO have the power to uphold those things and people who are not active or realistic about their RPs are quickly dealt with. In fact, you stick around long enough and you could get a position as a judge or mod on our forum. I extend this offer only because I know this must mean something to you, and you must greatly enjoy RPing.

So I say if you want to perform this or come somewhere that will uphold you and help you with this, come to The Honor Guard, if you would rather stay here and try to work it out here at the NationStates forum, I greatly commend you and I support you. However I simply dont see this evolving into something serious nor extensive in this environment.

Nevertheless, I wish you great amounts of luck! :D I am interested to see this evolve into something even though I dont RP on these forums! :D

Thank you, I sadly have a region which is very active and I am very attached to, so I will have to send one of my puppet's which means yes.

It might have helped if you had spelt your thread correctly.

If somone is dissauded by a few spelling errors then I have no need of doing anything for them.

It's dissuaded.

My point is that if I were trying to start something and the hardest part of what you are trying to do is make people take you seriously. So spelling your thread title completely wrong will not help your case. So yes I and I would assume a lot of other people would be put off by the fact that you managed to misspell your title and fail to check it.

Wouldn't that be terrible if people were put off by small spelling errors like Qluestine. Thank you, for showing some spelling errors and telling me the correct spelling.

Well you have received two replies to this thread excluding myself and neither have been positive about implementing your idea.

If you saw an advertisement saying 'Graet New Fantatsic Idea' then would you go for it? I think not.

Okay buddy, move along now, no more good ideas and no more great arguement, just some nitpicks, you'll get over it.

Whilst I synpathise with your idea, I'm afraid it'll come to nothing. You have no power, no official authority. Even if you were to take a case and judge it without bias, you would merely be another poster, with no more power than those who bought the case to you.

Well at least you need to give me credit for the idea....
