want to reoleplay regional elections? That seems so natural to me.
Then if you can get the other members of your region to go along, you would post it in either the NationStates forum or the International Incidents forum. Then, if you so choose to take the results of that role played election and turn that into what you want for your region, then that would be a completely separate process.
You'd obviously rather continue moving threads and ticking people off for not understanding your rules, than actually just take an objective view from a new user on board.
Why would your thread being moved piss you off? Its a simple matter of hitting the View your posts link at the top of your page to find it again. And if you do not understand the rules for an individual forum, they have the rules posted and stickied at the top of each forum.
It obviously does make more sense to go OOC in the thread, but if you find it was a problem in the OOC section, why not give the people what they want? Rather than telling them how you think it should be done.
Don't really understand what you're trying to say here, but regardless, the moderators are tasked with attempting to make this game as fair for
everyone that plays as they possibly can. However they cannot please everyone, so they do not go out of their way to change how they operate to do so.
Infact I've even see players manually add IC or OOC on to the title, because it isn't clear from the forum section it is in. Obviously keeping all IC threads together is, to you, a horrendous idea. To me it just makes sense.
They add IC or OOC to their titles to keep out of character remarks from flooding an in character thread. No one is going to post the In-character thread on one forum, and an Out of character thread for discussion of their IC thread on another. Its not needed and is a waste of bandwidth.
And labelling an IC thread as "NOT RP" just because it relates to gameplay is still rude.[/quote]
Welcome to the world. The world is rude. You're going to have to deal with it eventually, might as well do it on the internet.
