(Need 4 more players) Alternate Reality Geopolitical Roleplay

8 Mar 2016, 21:07

INTRODUCTION

Hi,

So I've been trying to put together a RP in order to find new players for my RP alliance, but this game has encountered issues with players not RPing properly, so I will be creating a new RP game. There will be more rules than the last one, since it's apparently necessary to maintain good RP. This thread will also serve to keep track of the game events, so that there is a record that I can put on my alliance external forum and players who want to join later in the game can have a grasp of the current situation.

Once I get at least 12 players interested, I'll create the game. This might take a few days. (see available countries in next sections)

Requirements:

- Minimum player level: 18

- You must have roleplayed before.

- Before joining the game, you MUST talk directly to me, either on this thread or in private messages in the forum or on the CoW site, so you can present yourself, reserve your country and give me an idea of how you intend to play your country. Then I'll give you the password.

- If you want your friends to join, they must meet all those requirements. This is not the game to initiate someone to RP.

Rules:

- You need to RP everything you do in a realistic and politically consistent way.

- You must start the game by posting an article clearly explaining the current internal political situation of your country.

- Daily article posting, unless you have good reason outside the game for not posting or playing that day.

- Respect of the balance of power: Please take at look at the definition of BOP given here, it gives a good idea of what I'm talking about (might as well read the whole thing since this is exactly the kind of RP I'm trying to establish) : The Don's Guide to Role-Playing

- Max gold spending: 1500 for the whole game, 500 per day. I'd prefer if no one spent gold at all, but I cannot completely keep you from spending your hard-earned gold either.

- The in-game chat will be for casual discussion between players. All formal communication between countries has to be done within the game messaging system, in order to give a chance to enemy spies to intercept your communications. No whispering or group chat for topics pertaining to the events of the game themselves, unless it's relevant to the respect of the rules. I WILL be strict on this, however annoying it might be.

- No invasion of other countries (yes, AI included) before Day 3

- If you stop playing the game, please at least leave an article giving a political explanation in the newspaper, so I can start searching for replacements ASAP.

- No wolfpacking. You may NOT bring people in the game just to get allies.

Settings:

- Map: 22 players - Europe Clash of Nations

- Type of RP: Alternate history

- Time scale: 1 day = 6 months, so 1 hour = 1 week (roughly

- Starting year: 1930

- Current day and year (last update --

Just an update for y'all: I'm still very set on starting this game. However, we do NEED at least 12 players so power can be more or less balanced across the map. So I'm gonna wait until there's 12 of us in order to start this. In the meantime, it couldn't hurt if you invited other good roleplayers to join us.

Player: Galindor

Avowed ideology: Socio-Capitalism

Capital: Algiers

The country as well as the state are entirely fresh, thus they lack a history that would make them a rival or ally of any other nation.
