Hello again. My return has finally happened now that I have a new computer. I have read up on what I have missed and will begin working on my return IC posts soon.

We await your contribution and your addition to the great calamity to befall us. And will there be Bersaglieri?

Greedy priest took all the coffee =p

Yea, I noticed that. :P

But by that point I couldn't really do anything about it.

Nationbuilding Roleplay?

Well, what idea did you have?

Fictional World, fictional peoples, all of that. If you need tech similarities think along the lines of 17th-18th century gear, supplies, and concepts. As player character's we're forced into a greater and massive area of unclaimed land thought too empty and barren by our homelands to feasibly survive. But our groups, acting independently, manage to come upon a land beyond the steppe wasteland and set down to establish their own society.

Disconnected from their homeland and its institutions they/we then must build our own institutions to serve whatever sort of ideology that our groups were otherwise exiled for. By pure need these groups will most likely have to adopt a sort of proto-socialist/pre-monetary economic system.

In short: no "Our World" past or future. I get the impression you didn't read my last post.

Because dubs.

American, not African American?

What are you complaining about? American racism is probably the lightest stuff around in comparison to everything else.

Hell, East Asians I've learned pretty much hate each other. Taiwanese distrust the Mainland Chinese, the Mainland Chinese are spat on by Hong Kongers, these three Chinese groups dislike the Japanese, the Japanese loathe the Koreans (and frankly all Japanese given their immigration policy), and the Vietnamese don't like anyone north of them.

Shit, even in Europe there's the Hungarians who group everyone into two group: Hungarians and Jews and Jewish Sympathizers. Gotta save Magyar homeland from Israeli subjugation.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

My bad, but if you keep throwing a wrench in peoples ideas no ones gonna wanna rp with you. No offense but on my first day here on the site I thought you were really uptight. I'm not trying to attack you or anything, but when you feel you got a great idea and some guy comes along and debates why and how it can't work it makes me hate the rper community.

It's in part called criticism. In some form or another it's all over, and the point where it really goes south is when and if it involves personal attacks on the person, and not to look at the idea and to raise a concern. A critic in that regard is probably one of the most healthiest things that can happen. If he were any other person - and if I was honestly any more evil than I am - he could abuse the loopholes in the concept to his content and really damage the RP. I don't know if you're trying to refer to any instance of me going in to critique a concept or not, but I'm sure I can defend myself since I do have legitimate concerns when I do break something down and turn it around.

Throwing monkey wrenches about may at times be the reason I step into something, but there are moments I decide the RP is good enough to stick around in and I want to see it better. What really falls short is when the responsible parties for the RP's administration doesn't show up to discuss the point. I do have my concerns, and I do want to see a loophole closed.

I could just as well totally gore the entire thing based on a consistent lapse of explanation that everyone appears to unironically be taking at face-value without realizing the open sore that it is.

And discussion is healthy. It could affirm and reaffirm a decision or help highlight an oversight in the RP's lore or mechanics. I'm no stranger to revisionism in that respect. But to respect something as a final draft and affirm that it's solid as iron to me makes the entire structure brittle.

I'mma have to nope out of that.
