10 Downing Street: The British Political RP (OOC) [OPEN]

[The Democratic Marxists]

You could at least try not to copy the Washington RP directly

You can at least try to be pleasant Dentali.
The Washington RP is interesting and has been going on for a long time. Some players want to try a Parliamentary version. It really should not be that big of a deal.

Also, OP, is there an app to apply as CO-OP? I would like to if needed.

Sure, don’t have an app, but you look like good material for a CO-OP.

Biography:

Gross was born into a rich family, his father a businessman and mother a lawyer. He attended a grammar school, performing amazingly in all subjects. He then joined Oxford University, where he read law at Balliol College. Running for Parliament was a breeze for him, winning his first term as a Liberal Democrat.

He’s a quiet man, and many don’t really know his views, although those who know him well say he is socially Centre, and fiscally Centre-right.

Do Not Remove: 84721

I think we should leave the big players, like Lib Dem leader, open to players other than the OP/CO-OP, so more people will want ti get involved.

[Kentalia]

Looks interesting. I'm actually from Gibraltar, which is a British Overseas Territory, would I be allowed in the roleplay as the Chief Minister of Gibraltar, who does come to London often to discuss matters of governance in Gib. Or would I have to RP as an MP?

That sounds like a great idea! You don’t have to be an MP.

I was very inspired by the amazing Washington RP, and really wanted a cool British gov RP to exist, too. However, I did not copy-paste or knowingly copy any of the Washington Rp's format. It’s similar because the WRP's format was what I had in mind, but I didn’t look at what they made.

Tegwen Bridget Llewellyn is a Welsh politician who represents the Welsh nationalist Plaid Cymru party in the House of Commons constituency of Ynys Môn.

She is a staunch supporter of the Welsh langauge, and supports efforts to increase it's importance in the everyday life of Welsh people and British people as a whole.

I'm not a Co-Op, but I also think the same person shouldn't control multiple characters from either the same body or different parties... It stacks things too much in that person's favor.

Like, IMO, there's a direct conflict of interest with one person controlling both a Labour Prime Minister, and a Liberal Democrat MP. What happens when their parties fight? Someone is going to get taken down, and then it is hard to strategize with other members of your party as well, because if they are also in a separate party, they know exactly what's going on.

Per the one body, you shouldn't have multiple characters in the same body because then you unfairly control extra votes. For example- if I created 5 SNP MPs, I'd control extra votes for my party, and of course, extra votes for leadership posts that I haven't earned. So my suggestions for this would be to

1. Disallow players from making characters for multiple parties
2. Disallow players from making multiple characters in the same body(so you can't have two MPs, but you can have a Labour MP, a Labour Mayor, a Labour member of a devolved institution, etc...).

I think that would be the best way to make it fair to all players.

And also, I repeat the following question.

Could we have a seat breakdown?

I don't need constituency by constituency, but just how many seats each party has in Westminister, and the date of the last election, would do wonders in understanding what kind of universe that's being created here. I'm assuming the Scottish Parliament is the same as RL(unless told otherwise).

Also, where's the break from RL? I know there's no Brexit, but did the Scottish referendum happen in 2014?

Dude, you used the same format but just switched US terms with UK terms

And before you removed the 'Do Not Remove Number' from "your" applications, the numbers were the same!

There wont be any official policy regarding whether or not people can have more than one character from a certain area. I think three characters is a good limit, but in terms of conflicts of interest, they will be monitored by the OP/CO-OP.

As per your other question, Ill talk to the OP about it.

You do realize the current Washington RP is the third, albeit most successful, attempt to create an RP like that? There have been two attempts before:

viewtopic.php?f=31&t=333393
viewtopic.php?f=31&t=258925

If the OP used the Washington RP format, congrats, its a good format, its effective and useful for an RP like this and I would say whoever made it did a good job. But if someone is really that upset by the fact its being reused, they need to grow up.

I can concede the point in regards to multiple characters in one body. I still feel the way I feel, but I can live with it.

I do, however, implore you guys to consider banning one person making characters from multiple parties. I still think that is inherently unfair because you can use that to either destroy your own opponents, or unfairly prop yourself up. I control the Scottish First Minister as SNP Leader for example. If I created a Tory MSP who supported my own proposal for devo-max, I could claim bipartisanship when I did nothing to earn it(aka actually trying to get support from other people). It will be much better for the health of the RP.

And thank you. Let me know when you guys get the election results up. I also ask for a backstory for whatever the heck happened between the break from RL and now, so we can understand what kind of world is being built. I can serve as a Co-Op and help develop that if you would like.

The issue isn't the content being copied, because it is not in the slightest.

The reason people are upset is because the format was copied. And it is a good format, that has been perfected over a few OOC OPs.

I think the issue with it being copied could be solved by credit being given where credit is due. At least a nod for the formatting if nothing else.

This comes with no animus whatsoever, and we hope for the best for this RP. After all, you yourself are a former member of the Washington RP. There's no reason why we can't get along.

NS Nation Name: Fronket
Character Name: Marcia Hertz
Character Gender: Female
Character Age: 57
Character Height: 5’ 6”
Character Weight: 95 kg
Character Position/Role/Job: MP for Stroud and Foreign Secretary
Appearance:

Character Constituency of Origin: Stroud
Character Constituency of Residence: Stroud
Character Party Affiliation: Labour
Main Strengths: Composed, moderate, extremely well-read, can reach out to other parties
Main Weaknesses: Not eloquent, not a good debater, not much of a personality

Biography: Marcia Hertz was born to a middle-class family of four in Gloucester. She was an average student at school, and was an extreme introvert. However, she was in love with books; she could always be found everywhere reading them. By the time college application period came around, Marcia wasn’t sure of what she wanted to read at university. She saw that her relative strengths were maths and statistics in general, so she decided to study economics. However, she was not accepted into Oxbridge - she attended the University of Sussex for her undergraduate degree.

After receiving her bachelor's at Sussex, Hertz applied to the prestigious LSE (London School Of Economics) – and got in. This is where she received her master's degree and PhD.

After this, she became a policy analyst for the UN, and eventually the UK Conservative Government. This got her interested in politics. She had always been fairly liberal, so she ran for MP three times as a Lib-Dem. She failed each time, until her fourth try, in which she attained a landslide victory as a Labour Party member. She is now a quite active member of the House of Commons.
