Introduction
Hi there! I'm glad that you showed enough interest in this particular RP to read this post, so let me introduce what we have planned!
Myself and some other writefags are organizing a Geopolitical Nation RP. Tech is modern to post-modern (present year in the RP is 2025. One of our former constituents had sci-fi airships, and that was REALLY pushing it, but it was still allowable. So take that into consideration). Some mysticism is allowed. Wondering whether any other writers/role-players are interested. 4 people, including myself, are in our group, but we wanted to create a more stimulating experience with more people involved. You're able to create your own nation, own geography, and, hell, even your own ethnicities.We have a map that we update regularly with modifications and additions, but it is not final. We're willing to accommodate to any reasonable request to better fit the geography of the nation that you want, so if you don't really like ANY of the land that you see, we're certainly open to modifying the continents currently on the map, or even adding new land.
Writing/Posting Method
Basically, we're going to write in an "entry post" system, which is actually pretty similar to what happens in RPs here. You write in a post the perspective of an individual that represents your nation. And when your post ends, another nation either responds to the actions of your nation, or just continues the roleplay's "storyline." Although (ironically considering our stance on over-aggression in this RP, which will be stated later), we do like to write about military conflict. But we also focus on other aspects and interactions as well. Some of us have done interview formats where we did a joint Google docs session, and solo entries of the political and economic actions of our nations.
But, yeah, half the things we're gonna come up with will probably be military conflict roleplay. Just a forewarning.
Oh, and it's recommended that you keep a guide or codex of sorts that contains the information and history of your nation, as writing it down makes it easier to retrieve and remember.
Note
Our group understands that roleplaying and writing can be a very fun and emotionally-invested experience. However, we have had a past history of writers that have created militarily-aggressive nations, and liked to take things rather too far as an extension of the characteristics of their nation, like acting over-aggressively/passive-aggressively OOC towards other writers.
This is an RP that likes to focus on the results and repercussions of actions, so over-aggression and intense focus on war production can very well result in the economic instability of a country. We also tend to personally frown on unnecessary over-aggression. As I have stated before, we have had a history of inexperienced writers basically creating militaristic socialist states that focused their entire economies on warfare, and conquest of other nations (in the modern day, mind you). There was even one nation that particularly liked to drop nerve gas on its neighbors at random. I mean, historically, nations have formed and consolidated themselves on the invasion of other lands and peoples, but it doesn't exactly create a very fun writing experience. What do you think this is, /pol/?
So, if you ARE going to have a militarily-aggressive state, please keep it to a certain level.
Requirements
Sadly, there are a few requirements.
1. Don't be a dick (Of course, this is implied and does not need to be stated, as you all are probably some pretty nice people. But we like to keep it pretty mellow in our group.)
2. Make sure that you have Discord. This is primarily the method of communication we're going to use.
3. Please visit the Discord group and write on a pretty regular basis. RPs aren't fun if there's nobody to write with!
4. Please respond below this post:
-Your name (what you want to be identified as. Though, in our Discord group we tend to use our real names, don't feel obligated to do the same if you feel uncomfortable sharing personal info)
-The name and short description of your nation
-A sample of your best writing. Although this is suppose to be an RP for fun, we wanted to maintain a certain standard of writing. And we felt the best way to do that is for new people to showcase their abilities!
-Your discord address
-Any questions
Hope to see some people join us for a rowdy, good time!
Also, no relation to Aldous Huxley's work.
