Have you considered that the Nation RP section, in general, is doomed to fail because it's pretty dead? Only a handful of people keep it alive. Everyone else just isn't in it for various reasons.

Also, mechanic based NRPs aren't that perfect (as this thread implies), you have to worry about it becoming really number crunching. Then, you have to deal with the people that only join it to win rather than tell a story. [/quote]

You have a good first point, except my article isn't based solely on [b]Roleplayer Guild[/b] within a vacuum but role playing as a whole. Secondly, I would argue that is the point. It is a role playing [b][u]game[/u][/b], not a role playing story.
