I kinda got worried and got rid of it already px its saved so I could put it back up.
Though I might not, I didn't really contribute much to the scene anyway.

I don't watch Hetalia, I prefer SATW, but I still reference Hetalia in regards to personifications because it provokes immediate understanding of what is trying to be described.

The concept of Hetalia is good, but I can't bring myself to watch it because of...ugh, it enrages me.
Also, the fandom is just awful.
That said, I love Polandball. Kurwa.

Yeah, it goes a little too far with the "girly boy" thing for me. Not that there's anything wrong with girly guys, I do play Willow after all, but the whole, "Yeah, let's hardcore push the fact that they're somewhat effeminate with constant blushing, sparkles, gay implications, and embarrassing situations!" thing just turns me off. I like it when a male character is allowed to be "feminine" without being constantly turned into a buttmonkey over it or losing his self-respect, you know, just be a person with unique interests, not a walking punchline of "AHAHAHA! LOOK AT HIM! HE DOES GIRLY THINGS! HE'S SLIGHTLY SHORT AND HAS SOFT FEATURES EVEN THOUGH HE'S A GUY! ISN'T THAT FUNNY?! ISN'T THAT WEIRD?! A GUY WHO ISN'T TOTES ALL MANLY! FUCKING LAUGH!!"

Nah, to me it's...well...
"Like, oh my kami, you stupid baka, isn't, like, Prussia so fucking kawaii, like holy fucking shit *sips bleach*, and Italy-Kun is so sensitive. The Axis was totally misunderstood by Russia-Kun and the western allies. Sparkle dance~! Pokie pockie."
And I sit there with a vein popping out of my neck about to give them the "No you fucking troglodyte, now let me tell you why you're fucking stupid and then go over the history of the Second World War. Oh, and the HRE wasn't a happy party like you think it is because motherfucking Austria has a gay relationship with Bohemia like in your fanfic, now lemme tell you about my homeboy Gustavus Adolphus."
Hetalia Physically hurts me to bring up. It must be purged. Deus Vult.

We've built it up much more than any one city and we owe it all those who built it to keep playing in it.
Its fun but some parts do seem so big to be unapproachable or so distant that they don't offer alot.
I think if we can fix that then it will have a little bit of something for everyone.

Beyond worldbuilding, I believe that training best occurs through popsicle play through the gates (since those are controlled environments where participants can learn specific techniques or see consequences applied to their characters' behaviors specifically.
I would be for access to Bielfield through a gate for relaxation or also to run stories in the city as well. Bielfield has a lot of worldbuilding that can be used for stories if done correctly, I think.

*hmph* I know you have one, er, two.
I don't specifically care about the setting if it's just a base area without OP/Co-OP-driven stories, and players have to entertain themselves. I do care a great deal about the Gates and an overarching story (currently the God War). The Gates give storytellers a canvas as big as they want, and they can run stories in alternate words without having to worry about the "main" setting or uninvolved players. I really like this set-up.
To go with that, if we continue to play in Galli, I'd like to move Ascalon to another of Demens' pocket universes. Oh, he only had one? Uh... an undetected instability in Galli mostly hived off Ascalon. (Or other suitable technobabble.) Yeah, that's it! I like cyberpunk. I know a few other players do, too. But cyberpunk settings are challenging... which means not everybody likes them, but on the gripping hand means they're good for learning certain kinds of skills.
I have... problems with the God War, or at least the way it's being implemented now. However, I think RPs benefit from having overarching stories, unifying goals, shared antagonists, or some other "built-in" source of plot direction. Other stories can then be tied into that main plot as makes sense. The overarching story should make people want to participate in it or the stories tied to it, but not require every character to be constantly involved with it.
