RPing Questions? Ask Here!

[Kylarnatia]

Well, what did you generally like to do? You can just start right off the bat. There isn't really any general procedure for returning roleplayers :P

Hah most of the stuff in II seems to be going on for awhile, can't just jump in. I don't really mind RPing anything really, just anything that doesn't involve my nation getting nuked or blown out of the sky. Is there a place where one can organise some RP here? like a thread for ideas etc?

You can create an OOC/Organisation Thread where you can state your idea and then let people sign up and/or discuss it with you. Sorry for the late reply.

If you want to get your name into circulation, try putting up an embassy thread. You could secure some buddies for future RPs that way.

Hey guys, I'm looking for someone who can help me on my quest to create a painstakingly detailed map of my country...would that request be better off here or in F&NI?

F%NI is your best bet, IIRC, there's a map maker thread somewhere, or you can TG a map maker or you could make it yourself.

A while ago (about a year) I was involved in a Harry Potter RP, then I went inactive for a while, and I was trying to find the old posts so I could possibly talk to the old participants about starting a new one. I can't find them in my posts, and there are posts in there that I know are older than the RP.

Did JK go all UN on us and ask to be removed from the site?

Hey there,

I didn't know anything about this Harry Potter Roleplay and how it worked, but I have a feeling that JK Rowling wouldn't have come onto this site one day and ask them to be removed. If anything, I think she'd be quite happy.

But if you can't find them, I suggest perhaps approaching a mod and asking if they were removed.

It was probably deleted because of Forum 7's autoprune. Any Forum 7 threads that have not been posted in for a week are automatically deleted.

Yea I'm sure you're right. Ah well might have to start this one from scratch...

Thanks!

Hey, what's up you guys.

So, this is more of an IC question than anything else, but I can't really find anywhere else to ask it, so I guess this will have to do.
Unless you guys know. Then you're free to move it as you please.

Anyway,
My question was: Is it "in bad taste" to, in PMT, control the equivalent of all of Earth's territories? I understand we can't roleplay as actual nations, and I just want to clear up that that's not what I'm doing; I'm simply using their territories. For lack of any patience (or ability) to make my own map, mostly.

So, yeah, is it "in bad taste"?

Depends on the RP, it can be Earth VS another planet.

No, it's PMT. Earth-Only.
See, the thing is, I know Planet-NS is hundreds upon thousands of times larger than our current planet, if we place all of us in there. Even if I were to utilize Earth territories, it'd still be small, compared to the rest of the world.

If it is only a small amount, and doesnt give you a God-mode advantage I would be fine with it.

Small amount? Of what?

Land compared to the rest of the world. NS world.

[Grand America]

Land compared to the rest of the world. NS world.

Oh, well, no one has a considerable size of the NS world. We're all tiny compared to what the size of the planet is.

The thing is that people feel as if I'm godmodding in PMT if I have Earth territories. Say I'm too big and all.

If you dont give yourself a billion troops because of Earth than it really isnt Godmodding.

I don't. I actually only have something over 12 million. Considering I use a population of nearly 1.6 billion, my military is just .9% of my population. I just wanted to get that cleared up with multiple people on here, to know what to do.

This has nothing to do with godmodding. Please stop posting erroneous information.

Edit for Grand America: it is best if you do not use real locations, just in general for all of MT, PMT and FT. Everything is smoother if you don't. However, there is nothing saying you can't use any of them. You can have all of RL Earth if you want. There is a problem, though, if someone else has overlapping claims, which can lead to disputes over how it all works out. For that, you'll have to discuss it with those people rationally. To avoid this entirely, then do as I said at the start and use fictional landmasses.

Now, you said you have no ability or patience to make your own map, but do note that you don't really need one in most cases, and in the others, a splotch of color in Paint and a few dots will suffice. You can also find other people to make a map for you based on some information you provide.

Unfortunately, if you want to stick with RL locations, there's not much to be done about people not wanting to deal with overlapping claims.

Thank you, I appreciate your input. However, the main problem that people bring up to me is not that our territories are overlapping. I've dealt with such a situation, and I generally make it out to be that Planet NS is a phenomenon, and, in our case, gives us exactly-similar land plots.

While I do note that said situation can be made difficult, again, the main problem is that people believe I'm too large. I'd decided to ask here, simply to use as either proof or make changes to how my nation is in PMT.

Also, the "no patience or ability" was a joke, as, like you said, all I really need to do is make some random figures on Paint (or Pixlr), and use that.

I think your biggest problem would be a population of 1.6 billion (though your NS page says 500 mil, I see where you're going though) over a territory the size of the earth. Realistically you'll find your nation will instinctively back off to the most productive areas, it just wouldn't be logistically sensible to have every area tilled for production, especially in a PMT setting.

Best idea: Take a smaller area of the world.

Here's a guide to realistic map-making if you wanna hazard an attempt at making your own map.

Well, I actually use the population of my other nation, Xanixi. Linked for easy access.

While I realize it does seem a bit weird, I had figured it didn't really matter.

Edit:

Allow me to rephrase my question, as I feel that I'm not getting the exact answer I've been looking for (though I appreciate all of your answers).

The reason I ask this question is primarily because some people think I'm too big. I wanted to see what the answer for that specific part of me controlling Earth's territories is.

What you're doing, with your puppet, that's generally associated with Puppet-wanking, and it's not highly looked upon, could be the cause of peoples consternation.

Sorry! I know this isn't really my place to intervene, but I think you aren't quite understanding his question.
The question has nothing to do with his puppet or his population, but his size in general. He wants to know if it's considered 'bad taste', or even godmodding, to be as large as Earth (in terms of land/water) in an RP.
Like, if you just took all of Earth, maybe renamed some places, and then copied and pasted it onto Planet NS.

I know this because we were discussing it earlier.

How would that be puppet walking? I don't use Xanixi anymore.
