Ampharos said Like, holy hell. Some of you people need to go outside or something because this is no way that a normal person interacts with the world.

Care to give an example of precisely what's been said that you don't agree with the tone of?

If you've never ran into someone calling someone else stupid, YOU need to get out more.

Well, if you go outside, chances are that it's going to be similar to this topic.

Mali Empire... well to be fair they were quite a regional power around the 12th century if I remember correctly. They were so rich that they made the gold market in Cairo crash because one major merchant came in with a bunch of gifts.

Weren't you the one who said I was functionally brain dead?

I don't know about you, but I spoke to my boss, landlord, significant other, anyone of relevance the same way that some people speak here, I'd probably be out of a job, house, and a girlfriend. Hell, walk into a bar and speak to somebody the way that some of us are talking. I promise you that you'd be leaving with a black eye.

THE BOMB HAS BEEN DROPPED

[So Boerd]

There is a reason we say "Realistic" not "Historical" decisions.

Let's say we made a Hamlet RP. A historical decision is one Hamlet made. A realistic one is one he could have made. For example, he could have killed himself, or killed his uncle while he was praying. Those are within his character.

What we're talking about is his uncle giving him land and him accepting it and then they braid each others' hair and argue who their favorite Jonas brother is.

We aren't asking you to repeat history, just acknowledge history had reasons and acknowledge and incorporate those reasons. Solame wanted to be buddies. Had I said yes I would be torching Vienna right now. But it would be unrealistic.

Very reasonable Treaty. Any secret articles? :P

@Ampharos: You're not my boss, landlord or significant other.

[Giant]

Also, Outcast, can you RP as the other South American nations so they sign/decide not to sign? We did send out an invitation to them.

@Nex: We tried. And no, check the final phrase. A big "Haha" to Europe.

Which makes it okay to speak to somebody however you want? Because that person is not an authority figure or has a stake in your well-being?

Giant said A big "Haha" to Europe.

Europe doesn't care about you and your treaties. :P

pffft

That's because you don't have colonies here.

You cannot trump the king of treaties. ;)

Yeah. :[

Pasta! Let me have one of those Dutch islands after the war. I want to care!

Probably a little late, but...

I'm going to agree with Nex and Narco (to some extent). I think too many of you are brushing illogical things aside because "it's just a game". And I agree, it's just a game. But I'm pretty sure even the rules state you must be somewhat realistic. I don't think anyone here is expected to never do something ahistorical and questionable, but if it's crazy enough that people are doing double-takes, wondering if they read that right, you're probably way beyond the boundaries of what should be acceptable.

When you do weird, unrealistic shit for your own benefit, it comes off as you trying to save your ass through illogical means. Which in turns makes people feel like you're just trying to win the game. Which is another one of those things Outcast has stated you shouldn't be trying to do.

If you're in a bad position and there is no realistic way to get out of it, do what Outcast's signature says and accept defeat. Don't look for an unrealistic way out of it to save yourself.

Just my two cents.

Only popping up to state that no one should respond to Peppermint!s statement as it will only ignite more conflict as this time. This issue is over with.

@Pepperm!nts I thank you for your interest in this RP we are all creating, but would kindly ask you to delete what you said. The argument has passed for the moment and bringing it up now only causes another possible shitstorm. Thank you.
