A Brief Introduction to Allanea
Greetings, NS player. This is a brief, and constantly-updated guide to the United States of Allanea as it pertains to our interactions during NS roleplay. Before you set off to read this thread, I would like to explain certain OOC realities regarding my nation. These, if not clarified, may cause misunderstandings during RP.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask them and I will add more things to the factbook.
About my Relationship with Realism:
In brief, me and realism are not friends. Even at the barest minimum, you're dealing with a nation ruled by a demigod. If you insist on entirely realistic RP, you will probably not like this nation.
About my Relationship with MT and FT:
This is not a solely FT or MT nation. This is a multi-tech nation. As such, it operates simultaneously in all time streams, rather than maintain an alternative continuity for each tech level.
Therefore, as far as my nation's perception is concerned, and to what extent possible, events in my nation occur in the vague order they were RPed in. Suppose I were to fight Stoklomolvi (an MT nation) in a war, and then go off to attend a peace summit with Sskiss (an FT nation), and then fight GWO (another MT nation). As far as my nation's internal narrative would be concerned, the events would have occurred in that order.
However, for the purpose of RP, I will utilize a dialable-scale system of wank – i.e., the power level of my nation in all war RP's will be kept appropriate to the RP. Alexander Kazansky and other demigod characters will not cast magic spells on your tank armies. FT battleships will not graze you from orbit.
The only exclusion from this rule is if you make an I MAKE WAR ON ALLANEA thread without clearing it with me first. I reserve the right to fry you with any insanity I see fit, or ignore you outright.
About my relationship with time:
I operate on a faster scale than most roleplayers. This should normally not be an issue during actual RP, as fluid time is generally employed there. Otherwise, I try and employ a 1 day/1 year storefront system.
About my policy on nukes, planetkillers, etc.:
I do not use mass-nukings, planetkillers, nation-killers and similar weapons without clearing it ahead of time with the other roleplayer. This is because, no matter how IC justified its destruction may be, people put a lot of work into their nation and are loathe to see them destroyed. I will also ignore/handwave away any mass-nukings directed at myself without clearance. In this matter I am entirely fun-over-realism.
