[PASSED] Repeal: WA Environmental Council

Game mechanics does not reflect roleplay.

Unless you roleplay it that it does...

Thanks for the support everyone; keep your eyes peeled for some improvements and changes to the replacement draft in the next few days/weeks.

No, no it does not. You can use game mechanics to influence your roleplay. But if you literally roleplay the GM effects of resolutions, your roleplay will be unrealistic and inherently low-quality. No matter how you spin it, a resolution requiring us to go back to the Stone Age and a resolution establishing a research body do not have the same effects in any decent imaginary universe.

My apologies, I forgot I was addressing the roleplay police.

Keeping roleplay up to snuff since 2008.

[Ardchoille]

Zonked on snuff and roleplaying in a devotedly indecent imaginary universe since 2004.

OOC: WA GAR #42 is Environmental - All Businesses - Therefore it results in a hit to ALL INDUSTRIES while doing nothing parctical to help tjhe environment.

Citing in-game effects is useless.

OOC: Not to my nations stats. It's the only thing that matters to them.

Game mechanics does not reflect roleplay.

OOC: I'll matain this simple statement until I die. If you are "role playing" in a game but not using the stats of that game, you might as well play a game of magical tea party.
Seriously, half of the mod work is to make sure that text matches category ... making at least the resolution somewhat match the category stat wank.

The categories are never reflective of the text. I don't see how you can roleplay the game stat effects of a research council the same way as the stat effects of a resolution all but banning the industrial sector. Going by game mechanics, they're the same thing. Obviously, if you're going to roleplay, you need to address the limitations of game mechanics. A roleplayed universe constrained by game mechanics is a boring and illogical universe.

OOC: Oh really? So would you also try to insist that Bears Armed's population must be a bit over 10 billion, as the game mechanics claim, rather than just the 19 million (or thereabouts) that I say is the case instead? Do you realise how many complete Earth-sized worlds it would take to house & feed 10 billion Bears at an acceptable population density?!?
