Rule Inquiry, Regarding RP Regions Forum Location

[Solm]

Hey, I would just like a little verification on the right place for my thread: Judea: A Region. I had originally placed the thread in International Incidents, because it will be used for voting, IC declarations, and applications. I had thought International Incidents would be the right place, since even though it was partly for regional recruitment, was for IC voting, declarations, and applications. It was moved from international incidents to gameplay by a mod, and I am just wondering if that is the correct place for it or was II the correct forum.

Thanks so much in advance!

Regional recruitment threads go in Gameplay, any roleplaying doesn't.

Your problem is that you've got a mixture of stuff there, and it's not really suited for any forum at the moment. You had an old regional applications thread in Gameplay - that was fine. The IC voting and declarations should either go in one of the RP forums, your RMB, or on your offsite forums - it's not appropriate for Gameplay. However, the regional recruitment aspect of it is fine there.

I'd recommend starting again with a new recruitment thread in GP, or asking for a load of the posts in that last thread to be split off.

Ah, well I do not think splitting the thread would really work, it is really built to be as it is right now, to be the homepage of the Judean region, which is an RP region, which will include application voting and for other nations in II to discuss or do things ICly and in an OoCly way as well. I think the majority of the thread is suited perfectly for International Incidents. The thread, itself, was not designed to be 'regional recruitment' per se, as we are not advertising the region, but the thread is used for voting, declarations, and applications as well. In addition, to give explanations of the region in an IC way.

I think it makes it very confusing due to Judea being an RP region so the thread itself is kind of stretched between the two. But, since Judea is fully designed around RP, I would say that the thread should just go in II, so it won't disturb the gameplay tranquility in Gameplay, since the only reason to be in Gameplay is that it is a thread for a region. I had originally put it in II, and I don't think splitting it would be a good idea for the thread itself. But, it's always your guys's decision.

I can understand wanting recruitment in II, because that's your target audience, but we've always insisted that regional recruitment goes in Gameplay, otherwise we'll have a Generalite region recruiting in NSG, a Forum 7 region recruiting in F7 etc.

The vast majority of your thread is suited to II. If you remove the applications part of it, and put that in a separate thread, the main thread can go back to II. The applications will have to stay in GP.

Ah, okay, so I will go ahead and create a new applications thread and post it in gameplay, and then remove the applications from the main thread already setup and leave a link there. Will that be suitable?

[Sedgistan]

Yep.

[Solm]

Okay, so I have created a new applications thread. So now, will the applications thread remain in gameplay and the original, "Judea: A Region," be moved to International Incidents?

[Sedgistan]

Done.
