[Milograd]

I would like to note, while i am still reviewing Neo's app, the claims that they are all OoC are not true, he just tends to use [box] codes alot, therefore making them look like quotes, and he includes OoC outside of the box, making it look as if it were a quote. While I am still reviewing his application, he seems to be the best applicant currently, so Hold my vote until I finish reviewing.

[Neo-Sincostan]

Yes, as Milograd has said I use [box] alot. I assure you that there is genuine RP content in those posts. Please reconsider your decision.
(And make sure you're not confusing the "conflicts" section with the RP example one.)

Oh and Western Russians, I am working on that requested RP post.

[Milograd]

So far...it seems like a bunch of scattered diamonds in a beach. You got some good stuff, but it seems quite scattered.
But I +1 you for using the actual app, and filling it out extremely well. Not sure yet though...

[The Western Russians]

South East Europe - Nay - No RP examples given and your application looks incomplete.

Gandoor - Nay - RP examples given were poor in quality. if you come up with much better ones, my vote might change.

Voek - Nay - I do dislike rule-breakers (Even though The Western Russians is/was) and that is a factor in my vote. Also, your RP quality needs some work.

Neo-Sincostan - Nay - All the RP's you listed (beside the MDW2 thread which didn't link to one of your threads) You were just posting OOC, which isn't what the application was asking for.

My ban was on an account but a few months old, a month older than this. I was, and still am, slightly, juvenile. I've learnt from my mistakes, greatly. I was ignorant then, too; you can only learn from mistakes.

I also noticed, and appreciated, the application. The only applicant to actually use it, and I'm sorry, I must have mistaken his posts; the box threw me off. I shall review it, and look back, and thank you to Neo-Sincostan for attempting the request I made - that alone shows you are worthy to do what is required for this brotherhood and is more than enough to convince me.

[Wolny Kraj]

Politics
Nation Name:(Full Nation Name) Rzeczpospolita Lwowiecka z Wolny Kraj
Nation Location: (Region) Wolne Regionie
Population: (Population of Your Nation) 4.5 billion (we haven't had a census in a while. The nation page is not correct because we've absorbed several large nations, so we have 4.5 billion instead of 1.1 billion.
National Government:(Type of Government) Lwowskist (my adaptation of Marxism)
National Leader:(Your Nation's Leader) Szczepan Lwowski
National Stability:(How stable is your nation's current government?) we are a very stable government. Any corrupt politicians are sent to prison for accepting bribes as well as the person/group offering the bribe.
How Does Your Socialist/Communist Government work?: (Self-Explanatory) we are following Marxism (Lwowskism) and working on specific areas at a time, bringing them up to standards with socialism. We are working on economics at the moment.

Military
Military Command: (Describe your military chain of command) Similar to the US, though with more generals and high ranking officials to spread power evenly. The First Division generally has the most power in decisions, and it has even become its own branch.
Military Stance:(Offensive or Defensive? Explain) Pacifism. We don't like war. We avoid it unless completely necessary.
Military Specialization:(What Is Your Military Best At?) peacekeeping
Military Activity:(Conflicts that your military is currently involved in) none
Strongest Branch: (What is The Most Powerful Branch of Your Military?) the armed forces, followed by the First Division, which is the most talented and best of our armed forces.

Economics and Social Issues

Type of Economy: (An Example answer may be a planned economy) command
Storefronts (If Any): none
Explain your economy: we are eliminating money and capitalism in general, and we are nationalizing anything that was formerly privatized, so we are beginning a transformation economically, which takes time and effort, usually not a golden age when it does happen. That's what's going on currently, though in the past, we were an economic superpower in the region.

Other
RP Examples (Preferably your best two): I'm in Planet Earth. I've posted in many RPs over the years, but they've been deleted because they ended a long time ago.

How did your rps get deleted? What time period and what forum?

[Tartonica]

Neo Sincostan, I'm a bit iffy on your RPing skills as well. Your RPing certainly seems above standard, and you have a certain flair in your speeches that cannot be detected unless you actually visualize the scene. However, the boxing makes everyone unfamiliar with your RPing to do a double-take. Additionally, this makes me reconsider my vote, especially with the

The SSR thanks the Empire for its appreciation. We will fight hard to defend Lien from Zonolian forces.

thing. Had there not been a follow-up "Status Report", I'll have stopped my consideration of your application right then and there. For now, I'll ABSTAIN. Lower the amount of times you use the [box] code, improve your RPing skills a bit, and that "Abstain" will eventually turn into an "Aye".

Wolny Kraj, all threads are preserved regardless of date, unless if it was in F7 or deleted by a Mod due to rules infractions. Please, provide two RP examples, I'd assume that you don't want this to be the main reflection of your RPing skills. That post is the equivalence of a one-liner, but due to the fact that the thread is a conference, I'll overlook that particular thread.

Oh, and for Voek, I'll stick with the Abstain vote.

[The Western Russians]

Wolny-Kraj: - Nay

---

The only Role Plays in which I've ever encountered you in were Role Plays in F7, and even then they were not the best I have ever seen. Your lack of Role Playing examples is worrying, and your excuse is pathetic. It is a Nay from me until you can prove you are a good Role Player by providing me with Role Playing Examples.

[Neo-Sincostan]

That seems fair. I'll cease the [box]'ing, just an odd habit I developed.

[Soyuz 11]

Wolny Kraj - Nay - Ehh... I don't see you as having the RP skills that would help the Society prosper.

Finnish North America - Yea - RP examples given are promising. I feel like you will be able to help the Society in the future. Although, your F7 history is incredibly annoying and a possibility for me to change my vote, I will hold with my current vote at the moment.

[The Western Russians]

Finnish North America: - Abstain

The RP examples supplied were substandard, however, to quote Milograd, 'like scattered diamonds on a beach'. You have some good Role Playing examples, and the odd good post, however, they are incosistent and rare, and to avoid voting Nay - so that you may receive a second chance - I will Abstain until you provide good Role Playing Examples.

Your examples are easily capable to being something much better, perhaps just a little bit more content would sway me. The majority of your posts are quite simply letters, and I feel more actions and descriptive posts would benefit you greatly; perhaps you could add a few lines before and after letters, for example:

'The man sat behind his desk, staring intently at the paper that lay in front of him. The words filled his head, swirling around, yet he could not quite pluck them, nor could he construct them; mould them into something that would benefit him. The words grew larger as they flowed, and in an instant the man knew what he would write...

-Insert Letter Here-

The man, content with his writing, smiled to himself. He always had a way with words, and now proved it more than ever. He turned in his chair and gazed from the window, considering the outcome of his message...'

Just a quick example. Until more content and description is added, I'll Abstain - but as I have stated, just a bit more will sway me.

No more abstains, aye or nay from this point on.

[Finnish North America]

Thanks for the tips on letter writing. I have never been very good at that.

[The Western Russians]

No more abstains, aye or nay from this point on.

Damn, alright then. I vote Aye, because he has some potential, we just need to harness and refine it. I feel his broad outstretch of both F7 and II could benefit us.

[The Western Russians]

Thanks for the tips on letter writing. I have never been very good at that.

On the contrary, I feel diplomacy is one of your strong suits. Just because you don't add description in before and after doesn't make you a bad diplomat. I find your letters to be swaying, in some ways, and very fair. In some of the Role Plays in which we've engaged, I found your letters to have lots of good content. I just think you need more Role Playing than letters in your Role Plays.

[Milograd]

Finnish North America: nay (rps merely average quality)

[Soyuz 11]

No more abstains, aye or nay from this point on.

[ooc] Why would being active in F7 help us? I find that sort of activity the direct opposite of helpful.

Firstly, sorry to be OCD, but please Spoiler quotes. It keeps the thread clean. Secondly, because any RP experience will help in skill, so if he spends time on F7, he's still going to learn. I worded it badly, really, but I guess having a member active in the F7 community is good, as it shows our ability to RP seriously and have fun in F7.

[ooc] My opinion on RP'ing seriously in F7, is that you can't RP seriously in F7. My opinion, and I don't want an argument de-railing this fine thread, so I'd be happy to see the debate end here. :)

I, too, feel the same way. I'm just saying, any experience is good experience, and practice makes perfect. I was mistaken, it's probably not best for the alliance, but I admire your ability to end a debate before it becomes heated! I sincerely doubt that this one would have, because it was more of a discussion, yet I admire it nonetheless; a fine quality!
