Screw Realism! (2nd thread, RP Group, Open)

[Durmatagno]

I won't have time for it with three, four RPs already underway or about to be.

I have....

Like... Two RP's. And one is slowed down a lot and probably about to die. Neither of them are MT or FT rp's.

[Durmatagno]

Come to esper and #GESO, we have a ton of stuff planned, all on varying scales.

Linkage?

... Could I hijack your Ashes thread and take it for myself?

Wait, never mind, I've never been an OP for an RP.

[Grand Libertia]

Nation Name: the Commonwealth of Grand Libertia and Her Overseas Territories

Preferred Tech Level(s): MT, PT, PMT, FanT

Ideals (things seen as good): Universalism, Libertian Deism, and Protestant Christianity which are the current dominant 'faiths' in the Commonwealth, laissez-faire Capitalism, Freedom with large exclamation marks, ultra nationalism, democracy, jazz, guns, parties, most white people except the Irish, airplanes (the new invention that remarks our new century!), women suffrage (the remarks of our new century!), gunboat diplomacy, libertarianism, benevolent oligarchy. New World Order.

Things frowned upon: Extreme libertinism, slavery, the Catholic Church, the Irish, Blacks, the Natives, Yellow Peril, Communists, Communism, the Jews, basically almost anyone un-Libertian, anti-intellectualism, Fascism, any those tinpot nationalist dictators because our nationalism is the only good nationalism, monarchy, most organised religions, alcohol in some regions, theocracy, social-democracy, democratic socialism and all thinly veiled children of that communism whore.

Anything else we should know? I attempted to mix the age of Roaring Twenties in the United States of America where both reactionary Protestantism and libertinism waged battles against each other with Cold War era (evident with anti-communism paranoia), and my own views and preferences as a classical liberal parodied to its dark take up to eleven. Then I inserted the French Revolution-esque like history that still run and affecting the nation until now along with recycled version of French civic cults.

This nation is MT-PT with some anachronistic stews parodied for the lulz.

Hm. You and I would not get along. Mostly because I am a Fascist Dictatorship with a side of No-rights-for-anyone.

[Planeia]

I'm debating whether I should join.

On one hand, my nation is inhabited by ten foot tall, blue skinned, hyperintelligent, telekinetic, sex crazed space kitties/monkeys/elves who have been around for millions of years and whose lifetimes last a millennium, and have achieved utopian status through endless advancement in technology and society, and yes even the gods from their religions actually exist despite my nation being mostly sci-fi, otherwise, being the intellectuals they are, they would have no reason to continue practicing the religions.

On the other hand, since my nation is sci-fi, I like to explain and justify as much as possible with real science, such as the application of Einstein-Rosen bridges in interstellar travel and trade, shields that use electron-positron annihilation discharges to deflect objects, and the transportation of quantum entangled particles through a tachyonic signal medium to create what is effectively the early stages of teleportation. I also sometimes like to approach situations thinking "what would most likely happen if this situation was in real life?"

While I value not being limited by what is possible in real life, I still value having a little bit of practicality.

Thoughts, anyone?

You should still join. Screwing Realism offers for much more fun scenarios. You can always keep the science part, but you'll always love the screwing of realism.

You know what, what the hell. I'll join. Shouldn't be too bad. You all seem fun.

[Planeia]

Nation Name: The Democratic Utopian Republic of Planeia

Preferred Tech Level(s): MT/PMT/FT

Ideals (things seen as good): Utopia, democracy, libertarianism, science, knowledge, intellectualism, sexuality, pacifism but with emphasis on non-aggressive self-defense, mixed economics (Planeia has a combination of socialism and capitalism), consent of the governed, a healthy combination of representative and direct democracy, diplomacy, and equality.

Things frowned upon: Fascism, authoritarianism, dictatorship, anti-intellectualism, prudish, aggressiveness/warmongering/offensive 'defense', economies that are either purely socialist or purely capitalist, government that does not reflect the will or consent of the people, injustice, tyranny, and oppression.

Anything else we should know? In my nation's canon, we have not yet discovered any other sapient life in the galaxy besides what we've found on Earth. I would really like to play with others, and so for the sake of RP, I will try to make a flexible interpretation of that as having to be on Earth, but not strictly human, or at least humanoid or human-like, or having to be human but not necessarily on Earth, at least being a colony or separation descended from Earth or Earth humans.

A bunch of racists, ultranationalists, feminists, libertarians, benevolent oligarchs, anti-fascists, fundamentalists, republicans and anti-social-democrats who call communism a "whore"?

... this is gonna be fun.

I am a democratic socialist country (largely inspired by the Industrial Workers of the World and the Congress of Industrial Organizations circa 1930s) located in the Carpathian Mountains of Eastern Europe during the early part of the 20th century. I think we could RP together as enemies in a rivalry with each other somewhat akin to a "Cold War".

Excellent! I am thinking that we could begin with rival exhibitions at a "Screw Realism!" World's Fair.

Methinks I made a future-successful RP. Yay me!

The thread doesn't exist yet, but I already have an idea for my exhibition. I would appreciate if you or someone else could post the OP, because I am very slow at writing OPs.

I'm thinking of creating two new nations, just because one of them I feel like I will be dedicated to and the other is fairly interesting imo.
