Old news. Read before.
I'm working on it. Just hard to find the time. These ISIS training camp guys aren't as easy going as I assumed.

Rapidly approaching Hugs level.


Nigga we need you.
I fucking see you lurking Byrd. Status update.
Sheer laziness is the only thing preventing me from posting at this point.

That and I really haven't felt like writing something massive like the Gods of PoW require.

Do not witness him.
Does Greece even internet anymore?

They clearly don't have any money to pay their bills after all...
And then a roughly hour's worth of Wiki jihad was committed. There's still much to do and lord over.

Also Googer, I would have updated the Spanish page more than I have but I need more info and shit. But that's a sort of material I can probably dig up if I go through the old posts, but anything that could be said in regards to Spain not explored in the posts would be good. Also some shit about Tejero and company would be swell as well, since he (and later Sotelo) deserve nice healthy pages.
I think the big thing with WW2 RPs is less they're military but because being based on real events it can be awkward to try and keep true to the source for most people and usually requires a good deal of knowledge on the subject matter at hand. It's not enough you have a casual understanding of the topic, especially when the bar for such a setting is raised by experts in the field. And this is true also for alternate history, where the believably and organic nature of the plot and setting can hinge on how much one understands the circumstances that lead to the alternate history. Otherwise it can become forced and silly to anyone who has any serious appreciation or knowledge of the matter at hand.

On the surface it doesn't mean much to the casual RP'er. But it still doesn't rule out that an RP like that will likely attract people who specialize in that era or are big fans of it. And this can steadily raise the informal bar of participation. Though you may outwardly welcome anyone to try, there may still be a subconscious concern of people going to join when the OOC and general chatter is filled with high-level amateur or professional debate and argument over certain aspects in t he RP's setting.

So that may be a contributing matter in such a topic. And also a death-nail in it: too much talk and peacocking and establishment in the OOC to the point people spend all their energy talking about they're going to do X and Y so that when it comes to IC they have no energy to write about it, or the ideas have lost their magic. But this isn't strictly related to war-RPs or even WW2 RPs as a whole.
