The International Incidents Stickies

[Michael VII]

So is there any explicitly International Incidents events, and explicitly NationStates events? Because I would be interested in starting an RP about natural disasters hitting one of my largest cities, and I don't want it to go in the wrong thread, or be seen by the wrong sort of people!

Also, please tell me if this is spamming, and I'll delete it...

Nah, its good. More or less, you can rp an endless number of things about your nation in the roleplaying forums, provided you are creative enough.

And actually, natural disaster roleplays generally end up being quite interesting, and I've seen several of them since I joined NS.

That's good advice, but it's not answering his question, which seems to be where he would post an rp about a natural disaster hitting his nation. Almost all of the ones I have seen have been in International Incidents.

Lol, I guess I never got around to that*.

I pretty much meant to say that it could go in either forum although I'd do it in II, but thats just me.

If starting a war, do it have to be on an existing nation, or can you make up a nation? I have seen many that declares war on nation that i never seem to find. So can you fight agenst non-existing nations, that was made up for that very roleplay?

Short Answer: Yes, you can make up nations just for roleplay.

Longer answer: Yes, you can make up nations for roleplay, but there are several things that you should keep in mind:

• Using puppets/fake nations to boost your population in roleplaying is known as puppetwanking, and is a general 'no'.
  
  
• You should never have imaginary nations in a roleplay that also involves your main nation, for the most part. If you are in a one-on-one conflict with the said imaginary nation, that'd be fine. But having your nation and your imaginary nation on the same 'side' in a conflict is not cool. Having them against each other may be alright (for a roleplay with a large number of rpers), depending on whom you are roleplaying with, but I'd advise against this for simplicity.
  
  
• This imaginary nation should not be larger than your nation.

Does that answer your question?

Yes, it does. Thank you for the reply

Using puppets/fake nations to boost your population in roleplaying is known as puppetwanking, and is a general 'no'.

Would using a puppet as an colony of your nation without boosting the population be accepted?

Yep. It's a generally done practice, actually. << Short answer.

Yep. It's a generally done practice, actually. << Short answer.

The population boost isn't the only thing that is frowned upon however. Essentially, if you want the colony for historical and political flavor, it's okay, but the moment you start using it to gain an unfair advantage over other nations, you're stepping over a line that's been drawn in the sand for years. You can have the puppet as a colony in name, but its population, military, economy, etc. cannot be used to aid your own nation. The one exception to this is in an RP where every player thinks it's worth having involved.

One of the ways players handle this is that they have the puppet state and they then disperse their main nation's gameplay population across all their nations. Basically, this just turns your main nation into what the combination of all the states owned would be like. Gives you all the flavor you want and prevents puppetwank. While you might still have to deal with kneejerk accusations, you have an argument that is actually valid, now.

Longer answer.

I see. Thnak you -Deus- and Santheres.

The difference is generally difficult to actually quantify, but for the most part, a Newb is someone who is new the game, and, whilst not neccessarily good at RPing off the bat, will or may ask for advice, listen to what is given and yes, try to take it on board and learn from what advice they've been given.

Whereas a n00b/noob would be someone who flouts the guidelines of established RPing - i.e. by godmodding - because they generally refuse to learn.

May I suggest adding this, NS Military Realism Consultation Thread, to the list of links.

In our countries view we need to be able to have more of less world awareness or special bank holidays to allow for our countries economy and welfare to grow! We may not be a big, powerful country however we are a part of the United Kingdom, we have the pound sterling, we speak english and we are a polite and graceful edition to the south pacific! Thank you for reading

Great! However this thread is not intended for such use. You're free to ask questions, discuss roleplaying policy, offer suggestions regarding stickies, offer advice or criticisms to the existing stickies, or answer questions here. Please refrain from unnecessary posting in this thread, thanks.

Way back when I first joined NationStates there was a thread that paired a Newbie RPer with an experienced one for a "test run" RP. Is that what the Mentors and Trainers do?

The Mentors and Trainers do a lot of RPing with inexperienced RPers to help them learn how to RP and get comfortable RPing within NS, so yes, they do do those types of RPs. They also do a lot of other things as well to help out newbie RPers in addition to just RPing with them.

Ok, because I was the sign-ups for the mentors and trainers, but that looks like sign-ups to be one. Do I sign up to RP with one or how does that work?

[Kagetora]

Mentors and Trainers Hub is the best place for doing that.

Depois de anos de guerra entre a Rússia e a província da Leoússia, o líder leoussiano Leonadro Camboskchayev após fazer um acordo com a Inglaterra ele liderou 1 milhão de soldados para a vitória e a declaração de independência, criando a República da Leoússia.
Os anos se passam e a Leoússia conquista mais territórios, já sob o comando de Leonadro Camboskchayev II, conquistam toda o antigo território russo e ainda mais, toda a região do Urais onde foi fundada a nova capital leoussina, Mirnnow, essa nova capital fora fundada para sediar o governo do novo Estados Unidos Socialistas da Leoússia
Todo o território leoussiano é formado por grandes áreas nevadas no inverno, durante o verão e primavera o sul tinha grandes bosques e pradarias, no Cáucaso e no Urais haviam montanhas enormes como o Elbrus, no extremo norte há sempre desertos nevados e no centro norte, as tundras parcialmente nevadas predominavam em toda Leoússia.
O governo é absolutamente socialista, seu atual líder é Leonadro Camboskchayev VI, o atual patriarca da dinastia Camboskchayev.

If you RP with your nation's actual population, two million soldiers is a huge god mod. Also, why did you type this in Spanish, or translated it?
