Proposal for the Revival of Roleplaying at Apolyton

Although I am new to NationStates, I am a dedicated member of Apolyton. There has been (I am sure you are aware) a major decrease in roleplaying (RP) here(aka-NONE). I am proposingthat we revive the life of NationStates at Apolyton. My proposal will call for the following if possible:


A) The formation of the Conference of Apolyton Nations (CAN)
I. This will serve as a regional international organization.
II. This will allow nations to debate and determine conflicts (both through war and diplomacy) in a regional setting.

B) The creation of a News Broadcasts thread.
I. This will serve to inform region of both domestic and international issues related to the region.
II. Serve to report national goals or future plans to the region.
III. Serve to post regional statistics and reports.
(such as a monthly report from http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseco...egion=apolyton)

C) The current or updated map and registration of nations.
I. Update of individual national stats on the Registry thread.
II. Map updated to give accurate regional picture.
(I would do this myself, however I do not possess the software)

D) Participation from Apolyton Nations in regional affairs.
I. Would not require a vast amount of time.
II. Will enrich the playing of NationStates for all at Apolyton.
III. Any other suggestions or comments to this proposal are welcome and appreciated.


We can breath new air into NationStates at Apolyton. Please PM me through Apolyton, Telegram me through NationStates, or post here any thoughts /comments /questions etc. Thank you very much and your contribution is appreciated.

- The President of the People's Republic of Ekathora

I'll participate and thanks.
I don't want to join U.N. though.

[Mr. President]

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Regarding, however,

III. Serve to post regional statistics and reports.
(such as a monthly report from http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nsec...region=apolyton)

I seem to recall that there were some disputes a while back about national statistics and the calculation thereof, especially during the last war (in the now defunct Azan; you may have read some of the related threads during your investigations). I think an essential step as part of the first stage would be to find an agreement on what system is used.

Edit: Clarity.

No need to join the U.N. to participate in the C.A.N.

I was not aware of this.. I too think we should find an agreeable system to be used if this one is disputed. Being new, I have not heard or seen any others. Thank you for bringing this up, Sounds like an excellent first action of the Conference!

[ElConejo]

Pending further support for the proposal, I (or someone else) will start the threads for the News Broadcasts and the Conference of Apolyton Nations.

For now I shall show you what I have for the CAN flag so far:

Good luck with that.

Every past roleplay here has run up against an inability to agree on such things. If you can find a system that everyone will play by, you will forever be in our debt.

Take some time to read through the old threads (especially the topped Rules thread) to see where we were at before, but don't let that limit you. Sometimes starting fresh is better than getting bogged down in stale debates.

I agree and will attempt to bring just that. And I have been getting familiar with the rules and some of the past threads (there are a lot... ) However, is there a specific thread that addressed the problem with the economy site? If so I would be very interested in learning the problems with it. Thanks! and I hope that we get some more support

P.S. I would like to find some 'standard' military and economy calculator for the CAN, but I have found few others than those already here... is the NSEconomy been found to be flawed in some fundamental way? or is it simply a matter of opinion? Like I said, I believe that the first rule of business of the CAN will be to get those types of things somewhat standardized for international relations.

Regarding other post

Many of you who have seen this thread (even if you did not post) I am sure have already seen the first CAN Action thread. My plan for the revival of the Apoly RP is 1) to build a structured base from the elites such as yourselves (to come here at all any more you must still care) and then 2) from that structured base get interesting things going (like reports, discussions, News, even wars ) to draw people back into the community. After that the entire process will snow ball into itself, at least this is the hope of the operation.

I appreciate your continued support and I am willing and ready to recieve any ideas from you! Long live Apolyton and the gamers!

[Heresson]

The only way to revive the roleplaying at Apolyton is to give Heressonia the fourth province, the former Ming's Tran or whatever. Hurry before it's too late!
The province of Ming's Tran's in chaos since the fall of their gouverment. Heressonia can no longer not reply to their desperate pleas to make them happy citizens of our safe and prosperous domain.
The nation of Heressonia and Ming's Tran demand CAN to allow Heressonian peace-keeping forces enter thisforsaken land and assure safety of its citizens!

[joncha]

No.

[ElConejo]

A system of appeasement is not something that is being attempted here in the CAN, however, I am sure that through RPing there may be a way...

from CAN Action 1: Revisited Rules
1. Further expansion (beyond limit) should be RP only.

[Lazerus]

If you want to roleplay anything other then the discussion of what colour napkins are to be used at CAN dinner functions then imo it's going to have to be turned into a game of some sorts where there are numbers that can't be argued with like the NES games they play in the stories forum here on poly.

I agree and thats why I made the Military Calculator, for that very purpose of making the numbers consistent.

[Rasputin]

I have an idea.


If we truly want to Role play in Nation states here at poly, then i make the following proposal.

We all start a new nation from scratch.

Only these new nations can be roleplayed.

We formulate a military calculator to decide numbers.

Any skirmishes that occur, the majority votes of all Role players wil ldecide the outcome, based on posting.

Any takers ??
