Unofficial Rules of Roleplay

4,536 Bman01  5.2 years ago

No war for no reason:
It really disturbs people’s peace and gets Annoying

No taking entire continents as yours
Don’t be a terrible Austrian painter,please

Nukes:
Only use them as last resorts in war.if you’re in a minor conflict with 1 nation don’t use them.of someone is gathering a bunch of attention and being aggressive NUKE EM’ (if you want to)

Have reasons for war:
Say Nevada declares war on Mexico for no reason,that wouldn’t make any sense,instead have a reason,say their going to invade Mexico because they have illegal trade going in,that makes sense

Don’t over do it:
No you can’t drop a billion bombs,keep it reasonable

Make or use already existing equipment:
If someone built a plane or anything in game,you can use it(accept for super modded xml 100 cleaver type planes) or if you want your own,BUILT IT!so if you say you own a type of plane you can’t build,you can’t use it

No modded crafts:
Everyone should be able to test it,yes even IOS and AppStore OSX players

    @apfel33
    depends on the people in it. I'll give you my full philosophy.
    There are 4 stages to a discord simpleplanes RP

    Stage 1: Eos Intratere
    Most of the playerbase from the forums join the discord server and the system is planned out and proceeds accordingly.
    Stage 2: Iteram Etiam
    The RP proceeds in a similar fashion to the RP on the forums, players may realize that discord improves the gameplay as one is able to see when another is online and the system is generally more reliable.
    Stage 3: Turbulentem
    A few of the players start to get akin to Discord's actual features and the server starts to become more of a place to socialize rather than RP. More and more people start to get swayed from the server's original purpose. This socialization starts to influence the actual gameplay as the socializers start to create alliances among themselves. A good RP requires alliance but with too many on the hand, it really starts to become difficult to attack or even perform basic actions of the RP. Soon enough these groups of people start to attack in hordes and eliminate players with less allies. Eventually the RP becomes so off-topic that RPing becomes absolutely impossible. Also without proper regulations (such as the ones present on the website) the RP can become much more slanderous than can be controlled. Even with rules set in place the moderation is usually not as effective. Say for here if one were to spew out racism or hate speech against another user, that person would be quickly punished as fit to the moderators. On discord the moderators might not be so reliable, which further ruins the RP experience (given that there is any left)
    Stage 5: Mortem
    The combined result of all these factors is that the RP will quickly start to die. Players may start to get disinterested, they may leave due to hate speech from other users, they may quit in frustration from the unbalanced gameplay, or the server loses its purpose entirely and is reformed into a socialization zone. (I've seen all 4)

    So that was my 2 cents, I'm not claiming that every RP in existence follows this path but I have been in many discord RPs that share a similar arch. The simpleplanes forums keeps the RP on-topic, slander-free, and secure by moderation. The longer an RP exists on the forums, the more prosperous it will be.

    about mods...what about the tracks mod? some of us are kinda tired of using+20 wheels just to make a simulated tank suspension, also the wheels get very buggy when you put them under a +60ton tank... and in past RP's, including the Jundroo war, we used mods.

    I might revise these rules a bit in my post.

    Y'know make the writing more clear, fix all the grammar issues, spelling too yeah.

    Honestly Bman01 these are good rules but if you don't present them in a good way, nobody will follow them.

    @Awsomur @RailfanEthan @Cardboard
    Here's the thing, RP somewhat belongs in the forum considering the forum actually has a "Roleplay tag"...

    Yeah these rules are to stop new players from just declaring war and becoming warmongering world emperors and using 50000000 nukes it really helps to have some guidelines @RedstoneAeroAviation

    Discord is how you kill RPs, I've seen it happen many times before. Simplandia is actually one of the best RPs ever created, and I suggest we strive to keep it that way.

    I agree, also put this in there:
    .
    Any breaking of these results in a warning, then a ban from RP. How? The banned players post has no effect on others, it’s regarded as fake, and ignored. The ban length depends on how bad the rules were broken.
