THIS THREAD IS DEPRECATED, NEW THREAD HERE.
This is the general RP thread for the Kerbin region. If you would like to join, please see the region page here for more information about applying and joining the community!
Important Notes:
Old posts are not necessarily consistent with modern RP canon. They can be used as an inspiration or guide for post formatting and standards. However, please check the Wiki, and if not clarified, ask related members to find the current state of the canon.
Kerbin is a realistic setting. NationStates stats are not considered, and only extant technology is permitted. Biological weaponry is banned due to the impossibility of accurately predicting its effects, and all other WMDs exist at the discretion of the executive council.
Remember to follow good RP etiquette and always consult with others before canonizing things that affect their nation. The use of alliance servers and chats is heavily discouraged, as OOC secrecy is not conducive to an atmosphere of mutual respect and collaboration.
The executive council is the final authority for all disputes, though resolving matters at the lowest possible level is always encouraged.
Rules:
1. Rules are law. Any and all posts and nations which do not comply will be removed.
2. No one liners, in general you are expected to have at the very least a paragraph for each post.
3. As described above, Kerbin is Modern Tech. The only technologies that are allowed are those which exist in the real world, or those that which are/would have been feasible to create by the present day with different funding priorities. Also remember that not everything will be feasible for your nation, with your particularly budget and priorities. Discussing with others on the Discord is the best way to be sure.
4. Respect your fellow Roleplayers; you are all just trying to have fun here!
5. All posts, like wars or invasions, must be discussed with all parties involved. If it is not, it will be removed as per rule #1.
6. Some actions can cause very large scale and long term effects on many people in the RP not directly involved in any particular action, and may permanently damage their ability to RP (Ex. Some kinds of chemical or nuclear attack). You must consider ALL of those who may be impacted like this by any of your actions, and include them in your discussion of all involved parties.
8. As mentioned above, contagious biological weapons are prohibited, due to the infeasibility of practically limiting their effects. The possession of nuclear weapons is heavily regulated, if you have questions, please ask around in the region, or the executives directly.
9. This is not to be confused with a Fall of Kerbin type RP; battles are fought with posts, and the outcomes are determined by agreement and not in-game victories.
10. Though the Discord is an important part of the region, this is not a Discord RP. Important events must be noted in the threads, and important aspects of canon should be noted in the thread, on the wiki.
11. This is a serious RP. If your nation, or your posts, are not serious, you will be immediately removed from the RP.
12. In order to post your application must have been accepted. Check out the region page and the Discord to learn more about how to join.
13. Have fun!
