[quote=@The Nexerus] Loons and morons operating this RP as a grand strategy game, so I figured I'd pipe in with a pointedly timed and worded call for sanity. [/quote] Probably my favorite post so far. [quote=@Keyguyperson] I've got this bad feeling that the IC will eventually just turn into a world war between people who think that the war makes sense and people who think it's going to kill the roleplay. Have we forgotten about the whole "Roleplaying" thing? I mean, the point here is to PLAY a ROLE, right? [/quote] Keyguyperson for GM 2015. [quote=@MetalLover] You are an experienced Rp GM it seems, have you ever had a problem like this happen in one of your sci-fi rps, and how in the name of God did you fix it. [/quote] I had a sci-fi RP like this, but thankfully there was one nation so powerful that if any other nations stepped over the line too far they would be eliminated. And that one nation didn't abuse his power (too much). [quote=@Keyguyperson] Most of my roleplays have been character-driven, which tends to just erase the problem of "LOL I NUKE U U DED LOL". That said, it did happen once. It tends to be a death sentence if it's not the sole purpose of an RP. Of course, I'm a terrible GM, so you might be able to avoid that effortlessly. [/quote] If my opinion matters, I say we just let it happen. Nukes away. The rest of the roleplay for them will probably have a storyline similar to Fallout, though. Trying to put the pieces of civilization back together. It could be an interesting chain of events. [quote=@Monkeypants] Anyway.. Gray warden, if you're going to take back Vietnam, we gonna have to work out some history as to why they would join France and not china. [/quote] Just a shout-out that Greater Russia is probably one of the main counterpoints to Chinese power (besides the nuke-crazed USAE) so we'd be open to an alliance if you come to the conclusion that your Southeast Asian colonies are under threat by them.
