Congrats! lots moving up today. Make us proud!

Thanks so much! Honored to be mentor and happy to help.

I focus mostly on PMT, but I have familiarity with MT and can help with questions regarding the ins and outs of mechanized infantry. I’m also familiar with FT concepts being an avid sci-fi reader, even though I’m not currently active in the FT threads.

I'm happy to help with world building, character development, thread organizing, and with the ins and outs of foreign policy and how to run diplomacy.

Thanks again!

N&I stands for both Nationstates and International Incidents right?

National and International Incidents, but, it's all one in the same.

The Diplomacy boards were renamed to "National and International Roleplaying" not that long ago; it's right there up the top if you don't believe me.

wow! I've probably glossed over that for a while every time I used the Diplomacy Boards. I just always assumed that it said Diplomacy!

The Gameplay category was also changed to "National and Regional Gameplaying," for comparison.

And this was all... months ago, now. Same time the Mentors got new titles (II RP Mentor -> N&I RP Mentor; P2TM Mentor -> P2TM RP Mentor) and colors (N&I RP Mentors are minty; P2TM RP Mentors are spearminty).

This is what happens when you get used to things.

Wait, spearminty is a thing?

You can almost taste the flavor when you look at the color. Think of our names as Ben & Jerry's flavors.

About ti-

I mean... Uh... Great! Thanks! XD

If you plan a conflict in an 1870-1920 RP with many players, and you and your co-conspirators plan it to be exclusive to your clique only, is it fair if some overpowered giant suddenly intervenes?

I also want to see the ramifications of This guy being elected as an II Mentor.

If it's a closed rp, which it should be if its planned between you and your friends, then that person can't intervene. You can safely ignore them.

Sorry for not clarifying earlier but the RP is open. The engagements occurring in the RP right now though, are somewhat closed to other players.

If you and your clique of friends plan an open rp and someone bigger than you comes in and intervenes, that's just how the game works. If you want your plans to be undisturbed you should play closed rps, or you should make it clear in your open rp that some elements of the plotline aren't open for change.

Another clarification(sorry, don't hate me), me and my friends are not CO-OPs or OPs, and the intervener is not one too. We were already in the RP for quite some time(as in my friends and the intervener), and a war occurred recently(the RP is a sort of world politics RP with a huge map). Me and a friend planned the occurrences of a front, and we sticked to it, until the intervener threw a wrench.

Right. Well that's just how the game works, unfortunately (for you).

Welp, time to throw a wrench at the logistics of the enemy then.
Hey, could you link me something? About how to defeat peeps slightly bigger than you and slightly superior(it is okay if you don't want to, just asking).

There are a lot of good military guides here, just scroll down a bit. As for the Mentor thing, you're more than welcome to TG Kyrusia to suggest someone.

One tool that's always at your disposal is communication. It's okay to have a one-on-one conversation with someone and tell them how you feel. More likely than not, this opens up the possibility of finding the best solution for the story.
