I gotta be honest, guys.  I am actually finding updating and constantly following this game to be a tremendous consumption of time and attention.  Frankly, I am seriously considering either dropping the project altogether or passing it off to anyone who I

btw there are npc nations out there. this is ooc btw :)



dunno if we're lookin' at the same map cause i aint seein no npcs

and to reiterate, i mean npcs that are able to act as active combatants and competitors upon our little theater of politics and warfare.

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.

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.
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?

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

do you just want to be first? I'm sure you can complain your way to the top spot

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!

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.

you win some you lose some. I guess the ass pulling thing is the downfall of nation RPs in general.


but guys I just got a great idea to get a bunch of land! get your friend to join right next to you, have them play for a day, then they leave, and you inherit some land! rinse and repeat. obviously you need to use different friends each time so if you don't have any then it can get a bit difficult (sorry swat 3)

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.

and i mean, he did join later than everyone else tbh
