The Sovereign League (Slavery Alliance)

[Des-Bal]

Ooc: everyone has a say. That's one of our core values, a level platform to express your opinion.

However, we have a lot of IC content on this thread also. Every alliance picks up a bit of ooc clutter through time: it'd one of the things you'll come to realise in ns.

The problem is no time has passed it looks incredibly unprofessional and damages our image as competent players. Still if the consensus is our secondary page, separate from the sign-up, should be the one where IC posts take place then fine.

[Crimson Bloodfire]

Nation Name: The Stratocracy of the Crimson Bloodfire
Form of Government: Theocratic Stratocracy
Stance on Slavery: There are those in this world who are not fit or deserving of freedom. Criminals, deviants, and heretics, among others, fall into this category. They are best used working the fields or fighting to the death in the Arena.
Former RP’s (post as many as you feel like): Well, see what h'happened was... I'm too new to have any. If that's a problem, then sorry.
Were you a member of IASEN at any time: Nope.
Give a brief list of alliances you are active in: Zilch, this'll be my first.
Type of membership you'd like: Full membership, preferably, but I'll be satisfied with military duties if full isn't available.

What are your feelings on roleplaying? I.E. How should it be conducted? Go into as much depth as you feel necessary to convey your opinion:

Detail is important. Flavor text, movements, effects, all very important to an enjoyable RP. Simply posting a few lines stating that this division did this simply doesn't cut it. It is, however, important not to become a long winded wall of text. If it is indeed long, the paragraphs should be separated to an extent that allows for proper detail but doesn't pain my eyes to view, and turn into a blur of pixels. I think any major movements should be discussed long before put into the story, so as not to involve any surprises that turn into an OOC nightmare.

I already did, I just added the charter to the OOC thread and changed the name BP should probably link it in the op.

[The Black Plains]

Alright, we've kept a lot of you waiting and we have enough information to give... definitive answers to some of you. Remember that all votes for entry must be unanimously in favor of acceptance for the nation in question to be admitted.

Omegaopterix - Denied entry.

Marsenbeurg- Denied entry.

New Lusitaniagrad- Entry still pending.

Old Beringia- Entry still pending.

Crimson Bloodfire- Denied entry.


If you have been denied entry try to accrue more roleplaying experience and apply again. In fact you don't have to wait. You could apply tomorrow. But if you act asinine we probably will just ignore you... Also keep in mind that founders reserve the right to change their minds. So a denial could potentially turn into an acceptance.

[The Black Plains]

We have been contacted a while back with a request for a war. We are still hammering out the details in private, but it seems like it would be an invasion of somewhere between a couple and several of our nations by a single nation acting alone. For a first RP we'd like to keep this small. Please leave a brief post or wire me a telegram if you think you may have interest. Tentatively, of course.

What are your feelings on roleplaying? I.E. How should it be conducted? Go into as much depth as you feel necessary to convey your opinion:
I enjoy it, and always try to be as in depth and descriptive in my posts as possible. All posts should be at least 1 paragraph, and contain enough information for the next poster to build on in their post. And, it should be done fair as well, such as in war, no god-modding.

[Vakolic]

The sovereign league is happy to welcome briarcliffe falls into our alliance and hope that the league can provide well for the people and government of briarcliffe falls, and that the people and government of briarcliffe falls will assist there fellow league members in times of need.

TO: Members of the "Sovereign League" | FROM: Minister of Diplomatic Affairs, Enzio Liberatore | SUBJECT: Condemnation of Organization

---

Only the most culturally backward cultures on this planet can justify the abhorrent practice of owning fellow humans. The member nations of this so called "Sovereign League" directly conflict with the Sailsian Declaration of Universal Human Rights, Article II; "All men are equal in legal rights, regardless of race or ethnicity, monetary background, or other physical distinction." It is because of this that we must condemn this organization for it's contemptible violations of basic human rights, and the pure malevolence for which its governments hold towards those deemed not worthy of human dignity.

We bare witness to this unholy alliance despite our apprehension of seeing members of the Human Race brutalized. We do this so that we may someday tell the other members of this world of your sins, and contribute to your ultimate destruction, whether it be through bloodshed , monetary collapse, or some other succession of calamitous of events which sees this ghastly organization die.

We allow Slaving of Wachans, but make sure they get proper food and care, and do not get treated badly. Unrestricted Slaving of Muslims OUTSIDE the Arab Autonomous Province is Allowed. Unrestricted Slaving of Atheists is encouraged.
Former RP’s (post as many as you feel like): Do I have to?
Were you a member of IASEN at any time: IASEN? What's that?

What are your feelings on roleplaying? I.E. How should it be conducted? Go into as much depth as you feel necessary to convey your opinion: I feel the inexperienced RPers should be teached, not rejected, from the rest. RP Examples are not my taste.

[Vakolic]

both applications accepted.

Form of Government: Dictatorship
Stance on Slavery: Most prominently in favor.
Former RP’s (post as many as you feel like):
Greitanian Trials
A Call for Arms to Dioists
FFSO
Conference on Slavery
Not much, but what was done I did to the best of my ability.
Were you a member of IASEN at any time: Regrettably not.
Give a brief list of alliances you are active in: None.
Type of membership you'd like: Full.

What are your feelings on roleplaying? I.E. How should it be conducted? Go into as much depth as you feel necessary to convey your opinion:
I'm of the opinion that a roleplay event ought to be discussed ahead of time, so nations don't get forced into an unpleasant experience. For example, I personally will not ever accept a roleplay where my nation is forced into giving up slavery. Its how I RP, and I like it. I'll lose wars, but I like being a slaver.

Be sure and give us time to get back to you. And remember, all deliberations and votes are kept private.

Havenic Greetings

A communication from the Greater Vakolicci Haven

Gnoble friends and allies,
As the days grow ever darker, it is important for our peoples to work together, to cooperate, to trade and to defend. We must, if it is needed, strike a sickening blow against those who would contredict our sovereign rights to rule over our own affairs.

It is for these reasons, and others, that I am issuing out this summons to our friends in the sovereign league to a conference in Iros, from which we shall discuss many matters of great interest to you all, and, I suspect, the international community at large.

The time when the servants of corrupt ideals ran freely across the free-thinking lands of this blessed Earth is at an end, the time when he interfeered with our trade, our war efforts and our governments cannot be allowed to continue.

I hope to welcome you personally into my glorious homeland, and wish that you will find this offer for furtherment agreeable.

I am,
Ronan O'clane,
President,
The Greater Vakolicci Haven

[Muckistania]

Nation Name: The Rogue Nation of Muckistania
Form of Government: Iron Fist Consumerists
Stance on Slavery: Avidly pro-slavery.
Former RP’s (post as many as you feel like): Slave Market A Gentle Reminder
Were you a member of IASEN at any time: No
Give a brief list of alliances you are active in: A variety of slaver alliances. Usually economic. Slave Market

What are your feelings on roleplaying? I.E. How should it be conducted? Go into as much depth as you feel necessary to convey your opinion: Roleplaying senario should have a game master who is impartial and has the final say on event outcomes. In games like fantasy grounds often a die is used to simulate warfare. You would want to keep it simple. To add a bit randomness to it all.

Additionally I would like to add that I am head of the region of The Bastion of Slavery. I can call on other nations here to join in the conflicts.

[Finium]

Nation Name: The Last Inexorable Dominion of His Imperial Majesty, the Defender of Order, the First Servant of God and Adjudicator of Nations, the Emperor of Finium. (Finium)
Form of Government: Imperial Dynastic Monarchy
Stance on Slavery: Acceptable, though it is classified as "Subjugate" in the Empire. This is a status seldomn used by the Empire and is normally reserved for the first several years of an occupation, if it is ever invoked at all. The Empire's principle reason for joining is out of respect for the national right to decide on slavery.

Type of membership you'd like: Military

What are your feelings on roleplaying? I.E. How should it be conducted? Go into as much depth as you feel necessary to convey your opinion:
I feel that the most important mark of any good RPer is the ability to lose. Knowing when, how and where to admit defeat is, to me, the sign that an RPer is mature and well balanced. Without this ability, then there is purpose to RPs becuase there is no resolution until there is the dignified acceptance of defeat. Additionally, I don't generally believe that people are interested in the details of your nation unless they are pertinent to the RP, so it is best to maintain a focused, realistic style in RPing.
Beyond this I suggest a reasonable use of motifs in imagery, it helps to tie the entire affair together literarily.
