I am guessing you do not understand the concept of "godmod"
Everything you know about me is wrong. Or a rumor. Something like that.

I guess you don't understand that what you are saying is a godmod.

Then stop doing it! If you really understood godmods "perfectly," and knew how much people hate godmodders, then you probably wouldn't be godmodding hundreds of invincible humans destroying a nation thousands of times bigger than you.

Definition of Godmoding

1) Saying what happens to other people's stuff.
2) Refusing to take any losses. Or lose. Ever.
3) Having übertech armies that are too large, etc.
4) Having your nation’s geography to your extreme advantage.


1) Example: "Okay, I just blew up 300,000 of your troops!"

Why this is Godmoding: Because in free form role-play, it's up to the person being attacked to determine their own losses. This leads to OOC (out of character) bickering which in turn, ruin the entire RP. Trust me, it’s happened many times. Don’t let it happen.


2) Example: "Oh, well, my soldiers had personal forcefields so none of them were actually hurt."

Why this is Godmoding: This is probably where godmoding gets its name (from God Mode in Doom, where you were invincible after typing IDDQD). Naturally, if nobody ever takes a hit, the fight degenerates into "I HIT YOU!" "NO YOU DIDN'T!", etc. Remember now, roleplaying isn’t about winning or losing, it’s about telling a story. A nation who is willing to accept defeat gains a lot of respect from others, in turn. Refusing to lose could permanently damage your reputation, making not too many people not want to RP with you.


There is no device known or yet to be invented which is perfect. There is no perfect stealth, there is no perfect radar, there is no perfect acoustical protection, there is nothing which cannot be defeated. Therefore you cannot tell someone what their results are in trying to find you! You can tell them how your system works, but you can't off and say "you can't see me nyah!".

> Military Involvement with Nations NOT Bordering You <

You cannot directly invade a nation that doesn’t border you. There has to be a way to get there, whether it be with transports, airdrops, or permission to march through another nations’ territory. You cannot just say that your troops arrived at their border and are invading. That, in itself, is a godmode, coinciding with the “Very Fast Troops” explanation.


> The Effects of War <

Wars on your soil damage your infrastructure and economy in ways not quantified by the game in NS1. Wars abroad typically cost lots of money. Keep that in mind, for those of you who are frequent warmongers. Mobilizing troops, tanks, artillery, planes, etc, takes a surprising amount of money each time you do it. Be careful about how you do it as well, especially for you younger nations out there. Your first action being a mobilization, is definitely not recommended. Other things that’ll cost you money is keeping your mechanized military up-to-date, and refurbished. You can’t just let it sit in the shop, its gotta be checked every now and then for problems, and tested out. Don’t forget the amount of supplies each soldier will need too. They’ll obviously need food, water, and for those of you out there who take things safe, gas masks, and things like that [do not mistake this for needing to KNOW the exact amounts].


I suggest you read that, and all the stickies, before you plan on continuing to godmod.

WHEREAS it is understood that freedom of expression is one of the highest virtues of a democratic society,
WHEREAS those who oppose such freedoms and work in conjuncture to have them suppressed are violating the basic tenants of many previous declarations on the subject of human rights,
WHEREAS warmongering during a peaceful debate is unacceptable,
THEREFORE we resolve to close the current meeting and end such insanity.

OOC: Although I am in support of this, I think that that can only be determined by if the OP decides to actually make changes to it rather than arguing about it.

In other words, it'll get locked ;)

All literary works of art that do not rhyme that were considered a poem before shall now be recognized as uncreative and burned.

All literary works of art that do not have to rhyme include:

All music with lyrics must rhyme and have rhythm, or at least show effort in rhyming

All speeches must have rhyme and rhythm, If not, it will be considered jibberish and unprofessional

This Resolution hereby creates the Creative Rhymes and Educational Arts Tribunal and Entourage (CREATE) to force those involved with public education, to teach and learn to rhyme, among other literary devices, on excessive levels, to the point where the students can't help but rhyme and be poetic.

CREATE shall also Destroy all works of art that were once considered poems that do not rhyme or have no rhythm

CREATE shall also determine what literary works of art are essential for society, works of art that are not essential shall be destroyed in a ritualistic and poetic way to teach students proper irony and poetic justice

CREATE shall never hinder anyones desire to destroy "poems" that do not rhyme or have no rhythm

CREATE shall have all power over creativity

The emblem of CREATE shall be a Red Star

CREATE will take care of everything
The words you hear the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It's one for all and all for one
We work together common sons
Never need to wonder how or why

They are the CREATE
Their great computers fill the hallowed halls
They are the CREATE
All the gifts of life are held within their walls

Look around this world CREATE has made
Equality their stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
Oh what a nice contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand

CREATE will hold the values of the WA dear, its only motive is to mold a world with true creativity

well, there ya have it, can I submit this or what?

Considering 100% of WA resolutions (including resolution #1your own proposal) dont rhyme we must burn all of them - so death of WA...
