[New Nassrau]

Well... I have indeed moved onto another alliance... however if this alliance is formed again IC, then I will certainly join

[The Republic of Lanos]

Well... I have indeed moved onto another alliance... however if this alliance is formed again IC, then I will certainly join

Speaking of which, AUH is dead too.

Yeah... it takes too much to run an alliance... thus, i've shaken off some ponyist tendancies...

[Lotus States]

Nation Name: Lotus States
Why do you want to RP with CoPS?: My friend told me about it, I like MLP, and RPing is one of my past times.
Please link us to Some RP Samples you have: (Yes, I sue IMVU for RPing oh well =3=|||)

(Most were ignored or inactive.. I haven't made any new RPs recently. I have longer, more specified ones that I never published due to past rejections.)

If none exist, please write a short story in order to demonstrate your writing abilities: --

If none exists, please tell us a little about your nation: The Lotus States rely on a strict safety system and allow the people to vote, but as an option. 81% of deaths in the kingdom are natural and the top three government spending topics are administration, education and welfare. Although there is few political freedoms and some civil rights, we are new and still getting on our feet.

[Tel]

I know that I'm the new guy and I don't have a ton of say yet, but I vote to give both of 'em membership. It couldn't hurt. Edit: Well, it could, but they don't look bad. You haven't seen bad 'till you've seen someone RPing Han Solo's father on SWTOR. [...]

I believe this is the appropriate response to that...

Want to hear something fad?

It's funny, but it's sad. Having no word in the english language to accurately describe it, I borrowed another one and altered it's definition.

That situation in swtor?

That... Wasn't the worst RP I've been through. I've had worse. Much, much worse.../thousandyardstare

I can share these tales some time over a candy bar, if you'd like.

[Tel]

And if the Ponyist Alliances are IC dead, Tel'Avos is probably going to try to bring them back together under it's wing. Teh Emprah likes stability and progress, particularly involving Equestria or scientifically progressive nations working together.

Hm...

No, no, I shouldn't try to make an RP yet. Bide my time, bide my time. SOON

And for the new guy... As I've said, I've seen horrible things. Things that would make your keyboard cry. So I say sure. I'm not a big fan of Imvu, but everyone has different steps and different places, and the only way to find new ways to RP and see your flaws is to... Well, RP.

Edit: Oops, double post.

1. Why do you want to RP with CoPS?:
   Because I've haven't tried Pony RP before, and everyone has to start somewhere.
   
2. Please link us to Some RP Samples you have:
   http://www.rpgtopia.com/viewtopic.php?p=147957#p147957 - This is from 2009, and I left the RP shortly before it, sadly, ended and was archived. Unfortunately, this is the only *major* RP experience I have, outside of just random tavern RP in WoW (which I can't prove since I didn't keep a log).
   
3. If none exist, please write a short story in order to demonstrate your writing abilities:
   These have nothing to do with pony, but it's all I have. Feels odd to look back and see my old Jurassic Park TF stories, which look pathetic now.

5. If none exists, please tell us a little about your nation:
   For the sake of completeness, I'll say that Xarxis is a Past Tech (1950's) nation that has a 2-to-1 human-to-pony ratio. It should be noted that Xarxan ponies aren't Celestia-worshiping pacifists. Compulsory military service, an economy that relies on furs and arms manufacture, and the lack of tolerance of other religions in Xarxis tends to do that.

I'm surprised the rules didn't say "If you read these rules, type <word> in your app. post to prove you read them." Most threads I've seen that require applications have something like that - it makes sure people actually read the rules before jumping in to the RP.

[Urmanian]

I like the RP samples, Xarxis, so I think you're good. Also you will find out that most ponies around here are hardly pacifists...>.>

Past-Tech is something new as most nations here are Modern, but I do not think that will be much of an issue when it comes to roleplaying. Anyways, welcome, grab a seat and enjoy!

Soo.... If you're not Harmonist, then what are you?

I only ask because I'm Discordian.

[Xarxis]

Well, since Schaad has capacity for both good and evil in equal measures, and decides between the two randomly and without reason, I suppose we have something in common with you Discordians.

((To Urmanian: YAY! I didn't expect to accepted so quickly - thanks!))

[Tel]

I used to play WoW, but Blizzard's inability to go back to the 'Fun above money' and 'Time and effort over money' model drove me away. I loved Vanilla through Wotlk and Cata/Pandas killed it for me.

Like the RP example. I approve of your joining us.

[Vorradia]

Shame to see CoPs still hasn't banded back together.

A thousand thanks.

Also, am I incorrect, or is the IC thread dead?

The IC thread is dead, yes. So is the Coalition as an in-character entity, too.

Regardless of the coalitions demise, shouldn't a central thread for IC communication be made if the former nations are still heavily involved with one another?

[The Republic of Lanos]

We haven't had a convincing RP reason to band together again?

[Vorradia]

We haven't had a convincing RP reason to band together again?

Is there a general desire to do so?

If there isnt then of course it's never going to happen but if there is then an RP reason is the easy part.

Regardless of all the varying governments and ideologies of the former CoPs nations, a cold war with some powerful enemy could bring everyone back for mutual protection.

I think, ever since the large-scale anti-pony craze died off, that's a bit hard to come by these days.

Especially since many nations here are specifically protected by at least one of two major space-faring, god-like, Future-Tech nations.

[Danarian]

Well, I'd hesitate to call ourselves 'major' - I know I haven't been around here long enough for that - and the pure idea of Danarii calling themselves "God-like", would be horribly ironic... However, I am sure that if the proverbial feces were to strike the primitive, oscillating, air-circulation device, that the pony nations could count on whatever fleets the Third Federation of Danarian Clans had available, to assist them in their time of need!

Yeah... if we were to do such an RP, we would have to cut off all outside allies...

[The Republic of Lanos]

The allies we have that are uberFT and such probably scared away all those wanting to engage in war with us on the grounds of super destruction facing them.

[Vorradia]

Perhaps a rogue Vorradian terrorist pissed off by the new democratic Vorradia, emigrates to pony nation and obtains their weapons of mass destruction? Threat of total annihilation is good for bringing nations back together for mutual protection.

Well, of course, Lanos and I are the awkwards from other regions... so we'll think of something... besides, IC-ly, i've seemingly pissed off all major nations here...

[Vorradia]

what about the necrons?
