[OOC] A New Age - Ancient Era NRP

[Alfhedil]

Nothing to see here.

[ASTA]

This...OOC discussion has gotten a little silly at this point.

Dearest chaps and fellow RPers, care to relax a little bit?

[TheSovereignGrave]

I would like to relax; that would be nice. Because as of now I have no idea what the hell is going on anymore. O.o

We need an RP-related topic to chat about that won't result in an argument. I don't know... Would any of your guys' nations find it indecent that most of the women in my nation don't wear shirts unless they're in the northern parts of the nation?

There should totally be some kind of alliance between our nations.

Tarix-Na are completely alright with this. Completely alright.

Disregarding the... situation... that was unfolding above and bringing things back on topic a bit, could I just confirm that you're still accepting?

The Daemonrexa are completely fine with that. In fact, most of them are stark naked, so the women from your nation would likely be considered conservative to my race.

Boerd or Ender I did not want to say this but I can not watch anymore. -sad face- I watched you abuse my friends in the group, I watched you insult me some times too, I watched you abuse my boyfriend and be toxic to almost every one, I watched you try to sabotage the real life relationship of two of my friends with lies and deceit. -angry face- I did not respond for years because I could not bring myself to sink to this level. You are an evil and abusive asshole and I can not watch you do it again with out talking now.

[LadyAdanae]

I will do. Thank you.

Look no further than the Minoans! Although I'm not sure if their open-bust attire was more so a cultural thing than a climate one.

Also, would you rather establish formal contact with Palmyong during the RP, or start out with amiable relations?

Huh, that's actually a really interesting outfit. And not just because boobs. I don't think I've ever heard of a piece of clothing that was a shirt that just had no bust. Now I'm curious, and I'm going to go look this up; I wonder if there's a name for that kind of outfit.

Hmmm, I don't really care either way. Though as I've mentioned earlier most nations have probably at least heard of me and if you trade with the Dominion then chances are you've bought Kişi goods. If you want, we could start off knowing about each other, but not having actually met. Maybe your leader gets curious and sends a diplomat to these people that supposedly live around a sea of blood. Or we could start having already had contact. Either way is fine with me.

[Slamurai]

Khaganate of the Bleeding Sea: Neutral
-Palmyong’s knowledge regarding the Khaganate mostly stems from recounts told by its Dominion allies. Because the Dominion and the Khaganate seem to get along, it is likely that positive relations could be cultivated. Accounts of the Kişilərs’ honest and open society are looked upon favorably.

I'll go with that option; I'll make it a priority early on to send envoys your way.

Awesome. And just so you know, Kişi is the singular version while Kişilər itself is plural. Hurray for strange languages!

[Slamurai]

Urk! In that case, how would you indicate plural possession?

[TheSovereignGrave]

Since we're speaking English, you can just say Kişilər's.

EDIT: And if any of you want, you can just say Kisi and Kisiler, without the strange letters.

If you can find a free bit of land, go ahead : )

On the issue of slaves: Can it be presumed that there could be members of your race that don't dwell in your country? Could members of your race never be discovered outside your country or without official protection? Or perhaps the government sends criminals as slaves to neighbours for a small pile of money or supplies?

Raptor: Answer the above questions
Shimms/Alf: I do not see how this issue concerned you in the first place. Please, only bring up issues relevant to your nation. Pretty please?
Boerd: It is preferable if you ask before slave-taking. I would rather you sent a PM to Raptor first, or asked him in the thread so we could all see.

Boerd, Alf, please stop arguing. I can see this is a rivalry from an RP long ago, but I need you to drop it. The past is the past, and as JFK said "Those who look only to the past, or the present, are certain to miss the future"
He probably didn't say that, but that's beside the point. New RP - New issues. Bury the hatchet.

If you would read into the OOC, you will see where it is he that keeps bringing up the old issues, and I am the one who asks to keep such issues out of this RP. Honestly, you seem content to let him do as he pleases in this RP without saying anything against it, making me think that you really don't care about whether the RP continues or not. You let him do this to the previous thread, and you are continuing to let it happen to this thread. Honestly, do what needs to be done instead of let someone cause conflict and hostility in your thread. And for fuck's sake, appoint a Co-GM so someone can actually deal with this shit as it happens. That is another reason why this thread keeps spontaneously catching fire, it's because you aren't here to do anything about it, and we're all pretty much left to deal with it on our own.

Furthermore, it concerns me because it was a fellow player who was being taken advantage of, something you should also find offense to, but instead you seem to be siding with him on the matter. This thread is quickly looking to be not worth my time, nor anyone else's unless you can learn what should and should not be done.

[HazmatMedic]

Gah!

Look, I really want this thread to continue. I'm sure everyone does. And we were doing so well.
If Raptor and Boerd can work something out, great. That will be the best outcome for all involved.
If not, one of the two of you will be dissapointed. I won't say who (That'll just stir up more hostility) but in the meantime, can I ask that Boerd remove the Iorenvolk from his racial demographics?

[Darkraven]

I agree with the principle of swift justice. Conflict can easily lead to the failure of an RP, if Alfhedil's disillusionment is any indication. I was in an RP once with a GM who's too timid to make a final decision on who's right and wrong. While the RP continued up till roleplayerguild collapsed, they lost me. What can I say? Eventually, it's either choose me or some guy who's been with him for several iterations of the same RP. Anyway, the point is that the GM's indecision lead to weeks of pain and suffering for everyone.

EDIT: Nobody has to quit. I'm not advocating that. I'm hoping that a good decision could be made on the fly. That is a mark of an effective leader indeed.
