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

I like NRP because most of the times if a storyline isn't working and provided it's self-contained enough I can drop it and move to any of the other half-dozen I'm operating at the same time within my "nation". And then when so much time has passed where I feel I can reboot the dropped story I can go back to that on the drop of a hat.

There's something liberating about playing NRP as a multi-character RP and not a stat-based, text-based version of Civ 5.

We are in a Giant Robot anime now

When do we get the weapon to surpass Metal Gear?

How does someone like you end up in here with all these other freaks? :^)

What is your favorite Time period

Ronald Reagan was president

@Pfroggy1

You may want to rethink your priorities if Reagan is a good thing.

That is of course if your current social status is on the benefiting side of his trickle-down policies and not among the majority of us.

I love free-level RPs if you can trust the players. You can make great stories on the tip of a hat with new CS's or extensive lore. It can be fun. But I think the only way I can have a RP like that is if I restricted it to my friends/people I know.

@Gowi

Really you can do anything with friends or people you know more than random strangers. In that sense you know where your partners can or are willing to go and what their experience and skill lies. And it may be me, but friends are someone to trust to not blow up pre-planning to end up serving their own self-interests as I'm afraid strangers might; so I can reveal all or most to them beforehand and we can collaborate more closely to put together a more coherent story.

Habits/Tropes You Utilize

Trying to do this more serious beyond my Rice and Roads joke (which is a qausi-legit trope from PoW), one legit trope I've been utilizing in Precipice of War recently is the Vestigal Empire, taking part in the former Russian territories.

In PoW the Russian tzar and the royal family was killed off by a pair of Finnish badasses. With the czar's only heir and daughter is killed, he has no direct heir and no replacements could be made before he himself is killed with throws the Empire into a medieval collapse. It's now home to a bunch of squabbling petty states, and in some cases these quasi-states are themselves home to even more squabbling sub-nations, or defacto independent factions fighting over Imperial resources, now cut-off from the rest of the world politically and economically.

And as well the main Chinese agent I'm using to explore the depth of the Russian depravity is probably close to a Sociopathic Soldier. He's something of a spec ops intel agent sent to originally coerce a ghost of a general to assist the Chinese, but he turns gets sent out by the general to kill the Mafia agents ruling Russia. The character in this is socially distant and doesn't really make an effort to connect with anyone, only really engaging in conversation to get information in the field. His clinical immunity to pain might also lead into another trope.

On the flip-side his partner is also divided from him to go on his own grand adventure. But I don't know what sort of character trope he might tippify. He's a soldier, but he's misplaced in his field being more suited for desk support work but the same ghost general sends him out with another guy to kidnap the president of the main Russian sub-state they're all fighting.
