1991 Role Play: Brainstorming and Planning
NOTE: THIS THREAD IS A CONTINUATION OF: 1991 Role Play (Original Thread)
**NOTE: THIS IS JUST AN IDEA FOR NOW UNTIL ANY CURRENT FORUM RP GAMES END AND IF WE GET ENOUGH PARTICIPANTS**
Here we can discuss ideas about planning the roleplay, including what bloc nations should be in, landgrabbing issues, bloc balancing, etc. I'm going to put down people's names here who want certain nations, although nobody's locked in just yet - everyone has an opportunity to sign up for the nation they want. Major powers, such as Russia, USA, UK, etc. will only be given to trusted community members who have previous RP experience.

Also, so this thread doesn't turn into a 20-page off-topic s**tshow, please ONLY DISCUSS THINGS RELATED TO THE PLANNED 1991 RP HERE. Thank you.

Yeah why not. I also believe that 12hours is better than 24hrsGeneralTanke wrote:

Tell that to @Amotahβ¦ but provided Claudio has the time to be active Iβd agree that he is perfect.noblebright wrote:
He deserves it. He didnt commit any rulebreaks in the last RP (apart from a few instances of minor NP articles which were too short, but so did Zaktty, Carking, Kadeko, Zhukov and most of the other mods.) Some of the other Mods did completely ignored the rules and abused their powers.Claudio NVKP wrote:
Me applied for Russia.
We did 12 hours in the last small map RPβs, and that worked. Thing about all these cooldowns is that they are technically worthless. If you just find when the enemy will be asleep and declare war then, you can just attack them when they are inactive anyway.The Mister Class wrote:
That makes the rp boring. There needs to be a surprise factor. 24hrs too long.noblebright wrote:
Yes. It wont work at all if people just attack in the middle of the night leaving you no time to respond.GeneralTanke wrote:
I insist that nations should not be able to fight without a 24 hour war declarationZaktty wrote:

I am still deciding whether I want to request that countries can make tensions for allies and have to do so for a joint war declarationI think a simply solution to the declaring war on allies is that people in public alliances (it must be specified exactly who is in them) then they may join their ally at war immediately as they do. Secret alliances should be allowed, but they should have to build up tensions to a lesser extent (2 instead of 3 days) to declare war and join in.TheZhukov wrote:
They must anniunce the alliance in public 48 hours at least before war starts

I disagree. At this point the defender has a ridiculous advantage. The attacker already gets the element of surprise completely removed, allow this and the defender may as well automatically win 90% of the wars they join.Joe Bartolozzi wrote:

No idea, he did literally nothing wrong from what I knew.

For the sake of RP, I think there should be some time before invasion occurs, it can be reduced from 12 to 8hours. 8 is the best number.Carking the 6th wrote:

Why Amotah?Carking the 6th wrote:
He seems to think you broke a few rules, I forgot which ones. Or maybe Iβm just talking out of my ass.
CarKing the 6th of the Abrahamic Caliphate
Amotah didn't say anything like that.
It wasnβt in a place where you could see it.
CarKing the 6th of the Abrahamic Caliphate
I don't think he'd say that though. Maybe someone else?
Maybe. I could see the whole war warping my memories since I was so focused on Brazilian fleet movements and such.

How about the defender can initiate conflict within the 24 hours after the declaration, or choose to wait.
Thatβs what the mods were thinking. Still, it gives more power to the defender to control where and when the fight will start when the attacker should be the one dictating all of this.
CarKing the 6th of the Abrahamic Caliphate
Why will the defender initiate a conflict, he will wait in all cases. Agreed with carking, gives the defender unfair advantage.noblebright wrote:

Look at the first page. None of that has changed.
CarKing the 6th of the Abrahamic Caliphate
Brand can u update the country page so im uk?
I suggest there should be a limit for how many units you can put in a single stack. maybe 30
to prevent godstacking which would be very unfair for smaller nations.
Objection, no more limits than necessay for armies
