RPing Questions? Ask Here!

[SquareDisc City]

Several years back I was involved in a good sci-fi race thread on another forum. If I recall correctly it was done with each participant posting their actions over a stage, and then the OP would give a roundup of where everyone was placed.

For your demolition derby you might try mixing it up a bit with the race organisers putting in obstacles. Whether it's just basic stuff like dropping an oil slick onto the track, or something fancier you come up with. Gives people something to RP off of.

You could also try speaking to the sports people here, they've probably run race RPs before.

How do I Rp?

[Zumreed]

Is there a thread where I can advertise a position in an RP? A crucial player (Rping as the CSA) dropped out, and I need to fill that spot ASAP, because he was a crucial element of the RP.

Not that i'm aware of. You might need to TG people in your circle of RPers, and ask them if they want to join the RP in question.

Milograd made a really good thread for people to read about this sort of thing. Here you go.

I think someone is using puppets against me. They calim to be on my side but they show every sign that they are on the side of the enemy.

I suspect all these nations to belong to a nation I RP-ed a war with a long time ago.

Is this proper role playing?

If they are indeed the puppets of the person you were at war against, then no. Puppet-wanking, as it is called, is severely frowned upon on NationStates, at least in the context of roleplaying.

i have a question. Is this considered genocide? --> Recently three countries who are and were members of the WA at the time of the incident bombed an entire country the size of Australia with a population of approximately 750 million people to punish the population for housing a rebel force from my country that broke away and took one million troops and half of my military hardware and resources. Now, by the time they bombed the country i had sent assassins to kill the leader of the rebel force and they had succeeded, the rebels surrendered. Even after two of the countries got the message of surrender from the rebels, they continued with their plan to bomb the country. Both of the countries received the notice of surrender early enough to have returned their bombers to their countries, so far only two countries in the region of 24 nations (i being one of them) have offered aid to the country which was attacked.

[Lamoni]

I would think that that would depend on the number of casualties, and the specific targets that were hit. Bombing civilian housing, schools, hopsitals, embassies, and other such targets would be war crimes, IRL.

However, bombing targets like power plants, water supply systems, military targets, government buildings, communications sites, and the like would be just fine, during time of conflict.

Since you said that the rebels had surrendered in plenty of time for the other nations to recall their bombers, it sounds like they didn't really care who or what they hit, they just wanted to bomb the crap out of something, and they wouldn't take no for an answer.

I have one question and one alone;

I am planning on making an RP about my nation's invasion of Earth.
Should it go on II, or P2TM?

If "Earth" means that you want people RPing the US, China, etc., then it goes in P2M.

Earth means the version of Earth using NS's nations and people can canon their nations into it.

If it's NSEarth, then it's II. Or NS if you'd rather.

Got it, thanks. Oh, and participation is voluntary. If you don't want to join in the RP, then you can ignore the RP and null/void it.
If you participate, then good.

casualties are about 3/4 of the country's population and there was no discrimination as to what was being bombed, everything was being bombed.

[Lamoni]

Then yes, I do believe that that would count as genocide. Though, being able to kill 3/4 of a nation's population without WMDs implies a trule massive bombing campaign.

Like Air Force of a 21+ billion population nation vs. nation of 5 million scale massive.

You interested in saving the NSEarth from my invasion force?

[The Imperium Reich]

In this thread I am in [Invasion of Lolloh], this guy Lolloh officially gave me all his major colonies, which consist of an area called New Tyver, Lollohian Vokolyia, and New Lolloh as part of the end of the war in the thread.

However, someone that I barely even know, Parone92, is saying that the colonies are now his protectorates (without having Lolloh's permission, and Lolloh gave me permission to take them via treaty in the thread) and he won't let me have them. He also claims that he owns and defends these colonies but isn't even involved in the thread, where one of the main points and goals of it was to take these colonies away, which Lolloh agreed to in a treaty but Parone is condemning this even though he isn't involved. He even created other threads, after the treaty was established, stating he had the right to own these colonies, yet, again, he's not involved and I see it as God Modding for him to send defenses into lands he has no control of.

I do not know if this is even possible to do, or if there is anything I can do about it without starting another thread to fight over something I was given for free. I mean, I know I can condemn his ideas of ownership, but I do believe he would start a fight or some other thread about it, different from the regular thread at hand, which is what I would like to avoid. So would I be able to follow the treaty's rules and ignore the claims entirely or would I have to do something else for this? The scenario of this guy owning the colonies by doing nothing prior to the thread, which is closed to him and the rest of the outside world unless said otherwise, is beyond me.

[Tiami]

The Imperium Reich, if someone is claiming to own those colonies, where as you were given the colonies by Lolloh, then the said nation in context can not take ownership of the colonies. The best thing to do is to simply ignore Parone92. If you were given ownership, then you alone, have sole ownerships of the colonies. No one else does. Unless Parone92 has proof that he/she owns the colonies, then you should just continue the RP.

I would suggest that the OP of the thread report in moderation to delete Parone92's post if they are taking up space in the RP. And have the OP ban Parone92 from the RP if he/she continues.

~Tiami

[The Imperium Reich]

Thank you, but its more in telegram that he claims ownership. His claims are strange, just on my part, since Lolloh directly stated I can have them in the thread, so I imagine his claims are based off of either a very, very old deal/thread or direct dislike of Lolloh and a simple want to do something, if these would make sense, but I do not know.

I thought of ignoring him too, but the entire situation of how he can own colonies without the original owner's consent is simply idiotic to me. Thanks for the insight, though. I will take the advice.

Unless Lolloh says Parone can get involved, he is not involved and you can laugh at his claims. I'd stamp it as a troll and if it persists, get moderator support as was mentioned above.

The OP, awhile back, responded to his statements by simply saying "Get out," so I do believe it is a direct God Mod claim, but he has so much long, un-detailed/unsupported explanation to the claims its just strange. I will just take the advice at hand because as far as I know, his claims are not backed at all by anything but what he claims as his, while I'm backed by another nation's permission, this nation owning these colonies, and now, with the insight in here, backed by Mods if it is ever needed if he continues to persist with his claims.

Thanks everyone for the insight on all of this.

[Parone92]

I was following that thread, and I can give proof that I control plots of land bordering Lolloh's if needed. What Imperium Reich wants to do is try and barter for complete control of lands in an RP that I have little friggin involvement in. The whole reason I was even aware of it was being made aware of it by another player. imagine if I hadn't piped in to say anything at all, that Imperium riech would have just taken everything, and after when I found out he godmodded his way into taking my land and land from other players, he would just ignore us ICly.


It looks to me like he wants to accomplish this by using other's opinions to back up what he says, and trying to use moderators as well to avoid confronting me about. Wat he's failed to say also is that the OP was banned for 2 weeks because of his behavior, along with another guy. There is a group that was raging against one random player for 5 months. Then Imperium reich shows up and wants land at some point. For some reason the guy, lolloh, is tolerating their crap, but that's not my business. All I'm concerned about is making sure my land i got from other roleplays is not unfairly taken from me, and then i'm unable to get them back because the guy wants to be "lolmods".

I need to add that he is trying to gain the land in a SEPERATE roleplay, meaning the land he wants was never used in the roleplay he is in. The lands he wants, including mine, are a part of OTHER roleplays, and not even directly linked. Yet somehow he wishes to just take everything for himself without consultation from the OP of those other roleplays or the other roleplayers that participated in them.

If needed, proof can be given of my land claim in one of the colonies. All my actions were so far is that my military was sent to defend a few colonies belonging to that lolloh guy, which was acknowledged ICly by him in that seperate roleplay. I want to know what other players think about the land he wants to claim in roleplays he was never involved in.

WHat Imperiu mReich wants to do is try and barter for complete control of lands in an RP that I have little friggin involvement in. The whole reason I was even aware of it was because my friend made me aware of it. Imagine if I hadn't piped in to say anything at all, that Imperium riech would have just taken everything, and after when I found out he godmodded his way into taking my land and land from other players, he would just ignore us ICly.

That's basically the path he wants to follow now, by using other's opinions to back up what he says, and trying to use moderators as weapons. WHat he's failed to say also is that the OP was banned for 2 weeks because of his behavior, along with another guy. There is a group that was raging against one random player for 5 months. Then Imperium reich shows up and wants land at some point. For some reason the guy, lolloh, is tolerating their crap, but that's not my business.

Sad part is that I have proof the Lolloh accepting my stance on ALL of his colonies, which I am more than glad to share with links. Where is your proof stating you have the right to turn Lolloh's colonies into your's? I do not see any thread in your 28 pages stating Lolloh handing over HIS colonies to you.

I also don't want YOUR lands, I want Lolloh's colonies, which he agreed to, but you claim ownership of without direct permission. That is total God Modding, based on what I see, and you continue to ignore this. It doesn't matter how the OP behaved, he kicked you, so you were kicked. Simple as that.

The fact you claim a control over Lolloh's colonies without doing anything under his consent simply states how involved you really are in what's going on, which is that you're not involved at all, and you simply wish to claim these lands desperately. Meanwhile, I'm actually getting these lands under Lolloh's consent and direct permission.

Yes, although in other RP's, these lands are acknowledged by Lolloh in the thread I am in as HIS colonies and, as a result, under the rules what he agreed to handing over said colonies, I have the rights to the Lollohian colonial territories this guy claims ownership of. I also ask for the Mod permission to ignore his claims because they, again, go unsupported by facts that Lolloh accepted this, while I can easily bring up a link or two stating Lolloh's acceptance to me owning his colonies.
