TL;DR Nizza and tyi feel that they are entitled to success without intensive work and get disappointed and blame the game and other players.

I'm going to ask kindly for your silence and to stop harassing players.  I don't want to have to impose a ban if I don't have to, however, it looks like things are resolved.  That being said, even Agent puts up with harder stuff than you two did and he's still willing to improve himself despite losses.  I don't think he's anywhere close to experienced, but I think that quality at least deserves recognition.

Updates are coming.  Sorry for the delay.

yeah basically

*sigh* I don't have time to deal with this right now.
I have an essay due in an hour, I'll catch up afterwards.

Then don't, its not like there is a moderator here half the time anyways.

But yeah, I'm going to stop my bitching and complaining since it won't change a thing anyways and I'm clearly wrong and just an starfish who is trying to cry my way to the top and irritate people. So yeah, as I said before, it was nice meeting almost all of you, hope to see you on another nation RP again.

I actually wasn't friends or even thought of maxwell when I made Nyn. also don't complain you got some land from that too ;)

okay okay, I'm sorry I called you butthurt.

I don't want your apology since I know it's not sincere at all, and I really don't care either way. First impressions stick, so I just know the type of person you are for future reference. I don't really care that you called me butthurt, just so much as you retorted to trolling me and ignoring any point I made.

I never claimed to want to help new players, and I never wanted to join the war to my east until I realized Conservatia was about to join. The war then was between a brand new nation with an older but smaller nation, versus a strategically located state with a solid population, high quality weapons and a large military - hardly the puppy kicking you claim. I never mocked any nations for helping Sunyong, and I would invite you to find the post where I did.

I don't understand why you are having problems with nations that have joined first having advantages in size - that is the benefit to starting early, is it not? But I suppose it matters not if you're leaving.

I think and hope that the shadowy overlords of Sunyong and Conservatia, blazerblock2 and grunterdb1951, understand none of this is personal nor is it due to a problem I have OOC, as I don't have one. It's simply the nature of nation RPs.

Seriously, dude?

Alright, so yes, they certainly expanded a bit fast. And Waru was dismissing your points, but he's not entirely wrong here. You're essentially rage-quiting the RP because someone else expanded faster than you (note: all the land still available) and that "ruined the RP" how? Rather than whining about it until everyone is irritated with you, maybe you could have dealt with it in-character, as is the entire point of this game. Form a coalition of smaller nations to fight against the perceived oppressors! Expand eastward! Trade with other nations!

Come on, it's not like you can't do the same things they could.


I'm not Swat, but I'm voiding the land donation. Land donations are really just kind of cheap in general and it's a form of metagaming.

All that happened was he called me butthurt and trolled me until I left basically.

He didn't expand faster than me, he expanded so quickly it is handicapped. Now all of the sudden he is a super power and can do whatever he likes whenever he likes -- which isn't fair at all, dude. If you think that is fair, then you shouldn't be moderating this. We tried to form a coalition, but we got wiped by the "far superior infantry". Everything you suggested, we did, and the big super powers wiped us because they can and it's okay.

we had people leave and donate nation land a tad bit too much for my tastes now tbh

I'd rather have Swat one decide what happens to my land. If he doesn't want it to go to Conservatia, then he can do whatever he wants. It's not my call.

Anyone could have earned the same amount of arbitrary stars if they had expanded the same. It was supposed to be a helpful guide for players to judge their basic prestige and prosperity for reference purpose, not a richard comparing contest. I don't know why you're so unhappy about this - I expanded, I acquired trade, I grew my military and I conquered a prosperous region with another prosperous ally. The outcome would be the same whether or not CypherX and Kyrev had that spot or you did, if you took the same actions. Grabbing future tech is a different matter entirely and should be called out, and I would have been called out if I had done it too.

However, just for you, Swat is knocking down my stars one each for fairness. Does that satisfy you? Or would you like me to become your vassal so you may hold the reigns of power as you so desire?

You were supposed to help new players? So, by trying to help new players you joined a huge group of Imperalists then when a new nation was trying to expand to get mining stuff, you attack them because your friend got mad he was going into his invisible line, then proceeded to mock other nations for helping the small nation. Way to help new players. Honestly, I am happy about the stars being put down, but Swat or someone else needs to be more involved in how nations are developing, because a lot of the nations in this RP are just pulling stuff out of their ass and are trying to have the biggest richard in the land as quickly as they can, which is ruining it for other players.

That being said, I'm not really angry as much as I am sad that I was hyped for this and it was ruined by others who want to have big richard in this RP (Waru, CypherX, Juncoph). It's not really cool to just ignore my points and act like a richard, Waru, but you've proved your points and you're right -- I am just trying to complain my way to the top. I'm going to withdraw my nation and I'm leaving the RP due to what was stated above. Conservatia can have my land and all of it's assets, unless Swat says other wise. Thanks for playing with me, guys, it was fun while it lasted. Hopefully the next RP I get involved with will be better, though I have a feeling I'll just get stuff from all of you now that I'm leaving. Either way, see you then!

Nice to be mature, Waru. Funny how you're apart of the same group I'm talking about.

because its how the dice fell. kyrev was lucky that he showed the might of his military, made friends, and made an economy based on his iron/steel.

You really think that is luck?... How is that luck? Swat One approved it and it happened. Luck had nothing to do with it.

And the reason that a hermit could be able to win against unbelievable odds is due to winning from attrition, from simply turtling, or at the very least put a serious hurt on the enemy war machine.

What would be wrong would be a small hermit's army besting a major power's army in a line battle. Even with a deftly handled battle on the power's part, the enemy should eventually be at the very least forced to draw simply to attrition and failing morale due to the era and size difference. Obvious exceptions, such as extreme elite units versus militia, I'm not talking about, but when it is just line troops versus line troops the outcome should not be in question, for now anyways.

I get that, but a better question is: why the forget do we have superpowers only 8 days into the RP? Just because someone walks in and starts setting up trade shouldn't make them the big richard bully of the map where they can do whatever they want. I saw that you had five stars, and I honestly thought that was handicapped. Your friends can defend that you earned those stars all you want, but when you turned around and said to Swat that Conservatia shouldn't be ten years ahead, that's just stuffty of you. All of the power shouldn't lay with one person or group of people -- and yes, it does, regardless of whether you control the north or not. If I started a nation in the south, I shouldn't have been able to expand anywhere because I would have had big richard bully Romek say, "excuse me you are in my imaginary line of influence and you cant do that. if you cross that line me and my friends will beat you and your weaker friends up lol" and that is exactly what happened.

That. Is. Horsestuff.

Yes, it's happening, but to be fair this did happen often historically. Great powers would be bitter rivals until a newcomer popped up, in which case they would all beat them up to keep them out of their special great-power club. The solution to this would be a coalition of the non-military-industrial-complex nations fighting a war against essentially the Axis. It's not an impossible fight so long as you get enough people on your side.

It's not really realistic to have everyone have equal power.

I'm not saying everyone should, but one super power or one group controlling the game is handicapped.

what are you talking about. he has multiple trade agreements, tech contracts, and has a buttload of land, along with a ton of allies and a vassal. i don't see how he wouldn't be a 5 star.

I got told to slow my roll when I was trying to expand my nation, but it's okay for him to just do everything? Yeah, totally fair.

I just don't like that fact that all the bigger nations bully smaller nations with their "sphere of influence lolXDDDDD" which is absolutely handicapped. Then, when that handicapped idea is challenged, the opposition gets beat down so hard by superior technology and the whining from the other side that their bigger armies aren't crushing the smaller nations. There needs to be a balance with NPC nations maybe stopping this bullstuff?

This type of stuff is honestly ruining the RP for me and it really isn't fun anymore when I basically have to suck the fat richard of nations like Romek and Kyrev or be their bitch like Sonodine because if I don't, I will suffer the consequences as Sunyong is now. Don't act like this doesn't happen, because it did. Sunyong was trying to expand his borders to get minerals and Romek got butthurt that he was going into his imaginary sphere and so when Sunyong challenges this handicapped idea, all the other powerful nations attack him. How is that stuff fair?

Don't act like this stuff doesn't happen. Basically, I want to see the people who think they are hot stuff knocked down a peg and surprise, surprise -- the people who can do that are siding with him.

Fight fire with fire.

I have no interest in starting wars. I said before -- nations that just want to build up. That's what I find fun, and I don't think it is fair the Kyrev gets five stars right out of the gate when I'm over here struggling to build my stuff up.
