While I'm not an advocate for animal cruelty, I just can't stop laughing at this.
It's just so awful XD

Just remember, folks. When life seems dark and sad, and it looks like there's not love in the world.......you don't know the half of it.

...but that shouldn't keep you from laughing :P

And, as you should well know by now, it won't. If anything, it'll help

Man, all of this talk of Equestrian Politics makes me want another RP, but all the players are the political leaders of their own country.

Nobody gets to bitch when my admiration of Machiavelli comes to the fore

It'd be kind of great. Since I think most of us have ideas on how the best way our individual countries should be run, we put our theories to the test with our own new countries and see if our ideas would work out or if there is a reason governments are how they are in the real world.

And it's totally not as if my 'when I grow up' as a kid was to have my own country and I still kinda want it more than anything.

While an interesting idea, I think I'd prefer something more collaborative. I've seen these go on other forums where one person will write ten pages about their country and another will write six lines.
Maybe pairs of people running their countries? Or something smaller, like nobles running territories under an overall king who, I dunno, is dying without a heir?

Alternatively, for anyone that's read any Lunaverse, the night court seems like an excellent stage for something like this.
...but I've never successfully run an RP, so I've never been sure what it takes to make such a thing compelling.

Well, it definitely helps for me, as I've already stated :P

Actually I have a pretty good idea. Hold on nobody make a thread yet, I'm typing it out.

[Scyto Harmony]

Guys, wait, does this mean my idea counts as "A good idea."

Holy Fucking Shit, I've never had one of those before! This is the best day of my life!

[cb5]

Hold on guys. Let me finish typing before someone jumps the gun. I'm having to use game theory so no one has a unfair advantage.

[Frost]

For reference, I'm of Polish descent.

You could use that tried-and-true Canadian tactical/strategy technique.

"Uh, would you mind surrendering, if it's not too much trouble, please? If it is, I totally get that. Sorry for wasting your time."

[Scyto Harmony]

It's just that there's so much to a country. So much history, religion, ideology, language, social structure, law, etc.

Yeah, I forgot that most people aren't obsessed with a new country like I am. I've spent hours and hours thinking of all of those.

[cb5]

Almost done, just typing up my country as a example.

K done.

The rules are pretty simple, cause it's mainly open ended and I haven't rp'ed much so let's make the rules easy for me.

Looks good Cb, just have a few questions. Not sure if I should ask them in the thread or not.

Gotcha.  I'm adding something.

Added in a basic economic and resource principle so that people can't god mode.

[Scyto Harmony]

I read your edit, Cb. I think we're fine for now while introducing countries, but unless we set down a lot of rules this could fall apart really fast. I'll post my country tonight, then I'm free all of tomorrow if you want to have a pow-wow to best run this thing, I have thought about these a lot. But it's up to you, I'll totally step back if you want.

Nah, nah I'm totally okay with this. I'm new to this really. Any input is good.

I also added a "act of god" action so if someone is trying some bullshit and it's agreed that it's total bs then a "act of god" can be declared to do a crisis cheaters have to deal with. So if someone is cheating at war a military coupe can be declared or such.

[Scyto Harmony]

Well I'm going to bed, I'll talk to you tomorrow Cb.

[Kattlarv]

Re cranial crackage : yes, you did mention it.

Oh, okay. Just failed to find it when I rummaged around my old post.

@Frost: Doubt it. Haven't read any in the news, but guessing they are dead.

[Tytan]

Kat, A lot of us are interested to know if you've read the story yet.

[cb5]

Sorry, call me pessimistic, but I've participated in enough RPs centered around the idea of seven or eight different players trying to control their own countries in every given way, from national policy down to individual troop movements, to expect any attempt at the thing will result in the same general confusion, mishandled economics and multiple-page arguments regarding the outcomes of battles that all the others did, leading to the victor being the last person willing to continue the RP at all.

Let alone trying to keep everyone at roughly even levels of technology. Without a firm grasp of the world's setting the whole thing just falls apart all the quicker with no one able to justify whether or not gunpowder or some other revolutionary invention is available.

Okay I'll add in a "economic conditions" to the rules and shorten the rules a bit to be easier to read. Like "the global economy is having a problem with a massive surplus of food and as a result the food industry internationally is seeing a economic slump in the food sector"

Also I'll add in a "technological advancement" to the rules. Like "The discovery of the steam locomotive" so that technological advancements do come into play.
