Tentatively accepted. What’s the history behind this nation?

Is it okay if I just start all over again? I feel like this specific country that I was about to create likely would have stayed out of the war.

Well, look at Ukraine’s IC post and you may think otherwise.

[Valtrona]

Also, we really need a France. So keep that in mind for anyone who’s browsing and gotten to this point.

the thing is...playing france when someone is doing germany is scary...i was originally planning to do a french one but then switched to russia because i had more freedom there

[Deutschess Kaiserreich]

It’s been a roller coaster. From Konigsburg to Jutland I’ve never felt so much excitement before. It’s been fun riding the roller coaster with you guys. But I’ve got to get off at this stop. This is my resignation letter and by most solemn goodbye. You may be asking me why I’m leaving. So I’m here to answer all your questions if need be but I’m going to list my reasons.

For me, the Game lost all it’s tension the moment Italy switched sides. I should have expected this to be honest. The player was Italy after all. Before you say I’m a chicken I was never supposed until I found out Austria was a close friend of the player behind Italy and planned to collapse. No problem, I can take over for Austria and prevent the collapse. That never happened despite everything I’ve tried. It was so far fetched for me. Imagine Batman and Robin. Robin just got fucking stabbed and all of Batmans villains teamed up against him and batgirls turned on him. Again not Italy's fault but I really felt detached after Austria collapsed so soon into the game.

Then I made a stupid, rash, and foolish decision. I got Russia to join my side. Which happened so soon. I was shocked by how fast Russia surrendered. I expected my surrender letter to be rejected and the war to go on. No, for the return of Ukraine he joined my fucking side. I am entirely at fault here.

For me, the best time was Jutland. It was exciting to write and read. But the stagnant posting of UK killed it for me. After Jutland, something didn’t feel right. I felt less and less inclined to go to the keyboard for this RP. But I just told myself that was college doing that to me. Now I know that I was wrong.

For me, the breaking point was after Australia and the US switched sides. Australia was fun but the US was not. It shattered any semblance of realism for me. How can there be tension in a tale when the villains (or heroes depending on your player) can switch sides the moment they have the faintest hint of losing. On this logic, Nazi Germany should have joined the allies when Berlin was under fucking siege from the godless communist hordes. This was where I lost my will. This was where my spine was broken.

After the US switched sides I could barely bring myself to post anything. The last post I made? Took me a fucking week and a half to finish when It only should have taken one day. I just lost the will. And that is why I have to step off the coaster.

I don’t know what will happen once I leave. I don’t know if this was even the best way. But I just can’t go on any longer. I’ve literally locked myself in my room and told myself I can’t leave until I’ve written a post. Took me an week and a half.

Not to speak about the other NS projects I wanna do. I’ve recently thrown myself into many RPs and I just can’t do them and this at the same time. So I’ve had to make the choice

I love all you guys. You guys are what make NS great. Our time talking to each other has been as fun as if I was talking to real life people. You guys let me on the first station to this roller coaster. Alright, I’m getting emotional now so I’ll wrap this up as fast as possible. You. We the best thing that's happened to me this year and I’m so sad that I have to leave.

You guys were my New Years wish and I got it.

[Metal on Metal Resignation Letter]

I honestly never expected to be writing this letter. I’d figure that if everyone left then I still be the one person remaining in the RP. Still, I think this is a long thing coming. If you aren’t aware, this is my resignation letter and my greatest goodbyes. You may be asking “why the hell is this guy leaving?” Well, I’ll be giving my explanation and will answer any other questions in a later date. I guess I should thank the Kaiserreich for this, as they opened my eyes up to what I should do.

Honestly, I never expected Italy to get as powerful as they are a quickly as they did. I expected to get bogged down in France and Africa and fight a grueling war til Germany showed up to relive me in France. Instead, we got an overpowered Russian and Ottoman Empires who can seemingly take on the world and win. I still don’t know why Clarcia allowed for that, but I shrugged it off and played through it. The Entente was also always inactive. Through most of the RP, we almost never had a France, and the UK barely posted anything worthwhile. Inactivity always degrades amazing RP’s, especially when it’s also the OP. Still, I had hope that this can continue. I basically took over as the unofficial co-OP, as I was always the most active person in the RP and the one most interested. I wanted this RP to continued and be active and vibrant, but deep down I knew that couldn’t last.

I have been blamed constantly for Italy’s betrayal of the Central Powers, and how it’s a stupid and nonsensical decision that ruined the RP experience for a lot of people. I am here to give my clear and concise reasoning for such a move. For one, the Entente was basically inactive, and needed some kind of advantage over the Central Powers or the RP would be over much quicker than anyone would of wanted. The Entente also offered the Italians all the land it wanted plus land in the Central Powers, primarily in Austria-Hungary. Also, this is Italy we’re talking about. If they got an offer that good and all they had to do was betray their allies, they would do it in a heartbeat. Italy’s Betrayal had IC and OOC reasoning behind it, so I won’t take the blame for ruining the RP experience for anyone. Regardless, I will take some of the blame for starting a chain of reactions that ended up worsening the RP as a whole. Like the collapse of Austria-Hungary, but that was a long time coming. When their much stronger ally launched a surprise land and naval attack on their much weaker self, it’s no surprise that they collapsed. I will apologize for this, but for me it seemed to make some sense.

Then the betrayals started to settle in. First it was Russia, which to me seemed spur of the moment and made little sense. Then a lot of time passed, and no major betrayals had occurred. Australia’s was planned and executed well, so I thought that one was ok. Then the US betrayed the Entente, and that in of itself ruined much of the RP potential. Combine that with a France player leaving again, and the complete inactivity of the OP/UK, that honestly ruined much of the RP experience for me. I found it suddenly difficult for me to write any new posts. To think, I was the one who could write a decent and detailed RP post in just a couple hours couldn’t find the will to write one post when they had a week off. What was Italy supposed to post about? They already achieved their goals for the next few decades, so what’s next for the great Italian Empire? I haven’t figured that out just yet, but maybe I didn’t want to. Even if this continued into the Interwar, what would Italy do in the Interwar besides just sitting around and solving internal issues. I found it rather boring and uneventful, which didn’t really work for me. I know no one can fill in my shoes as Italy, and I think Italy should be left alone to its own devices one I leave.

This was my first ever RP experience with other people. Metal on Metal will always have a place in my heart as my first ever RP, where I grew my skills up and made myself even slightly better. I can say I had fun with this RP throughout most of its run. Many people say that other RP’s are what drove them away from this one, but it was this RP which drove me away from other RP’s I tried to do. I love this RP and I love the community behind it. I may of had my rough patches but everyone has gone through the same. I honesty wished I wasn’t writing this, but I think it’s better for me this way. I honestly hope the rest of you have even the slightest amount of fun and entertainment in any future RP’s like I had taking part in Metal on Metal. This RP and it’s people were the highlight of my otherwise shitty year, and I’ll miss you all. Maybe I’ll see you guys in another RP down the road. Maybe I’ll make my own RP sometime and I’ll see some of you taking part in it. I hope you guys have fun and I’ll see you again soon!

[Barapam]

Well, I don't know much what to post about either. Just as for Italy and Spain, it's all just internal affairs...

If this means the RP is dying, I would be the first one to join a sequel, set in 1939, as long as we work out a good interwar lore. I liked this rp a lot, even though I sometimes didn't have much time or inspiration to post.

We could end up doing a WWII reboot. Where it’s the 1939 map but using punk technology. I would definitely join a sequel though.

Same, there'd certainly have to be some retconning though

What do you mean? There would be a fresh start of sorts, basically what Metal on Metal was originally but for WW2 instead of WW1.
