As good of a feeling as it is to be asked if you'd wanna be given some moderatorship, you really have to show some level of interest in the role for the one giving out the roles to know you'd like it, or something along those lines.
@ChiyomiAnzai
for as advanced as you guys say your countries are, everyone shows anything but...
The railgun, if I'm not mistaken, is very capable of firing across continents in Ace Combat. How? I dunno. Why? Ace Combat.
@HarrisCraft
So, straight ripping a supermassice railgun capable of firing across continents (and probably into space at this point...) from Ace Combat, when current railgun technology is literally in its infancy, and has been for probably over a decade is "somewhat feasible"?
@HarrisCraft
"Fighting fire with fire", while a wonderful means to some ends, is definitely not something to be used in this situation.
If some kid yells they have a billion troops, don't one up them and yell "I have a billion troops and a giant railgun!"
@HarrisCraft
odd to see of all people, you are wanting realism...
I've seen a few times people requesting there needs to be some sorta moderator for the RP, one who'll be unbiased and keeps everyone in check.
For this RP to keep going, without cracking under some petty squabbles about numbers and power, there's going to have to be someone to moderate the RP.
@HarrisCraft
Oh yeah, I well know, I just want people, bystanders, to know I' fed up with this bullcrap. This exact thing is what killed my RP years ago, and I'm not gonna sit back and let it tear apart someone else's.
@ErvenDynamics
If they look anything like they were meant to float in water... You might as well be throwing a brick at the sky and hoping for the best...
Literally any flat surface would cause enough air resistance to destroy the ship just ascending the lower atmosphere
@CptJacobson
The United States attempt at a space plane, the Space Shuttle, is an utter failure when compared to the plan for the shuttle (50 launches were planned yearly for all 6 shuttles, but ended up very quickly to just 4 every year for the entire fleet). A cost effective method of getting large payloads into space, while being almost completely reusable, but eventually ended up as one of the most statistically dangerous space craft, and significantly more expensive than the conventional single-use rockets other countries had (mainly the Soviet Union/Russia)
While the Space Shuttle is nowhere near the size of the ISS, and significantly cheaper, just maintenance bloated its cost over time.
Now, scale that up to the size of whatever warship you have floating in space. Carries large sums of fuel, weapons, extremely heavy armor, and crew of almost 500 people that require somewhere to work, eat, sleep, and perform bodily functions.
Theres no way such a craft could be aerodynamic enough, fuel efficient enough, powerful enough to make it into orbit and still have enough fuel to not require refueling in space, which in itself requires a seperate rocket launch to get the fuel into space to even refuel the ship if it were needing it.
Now, sure, yeah, pull a cop out like technology from 100 years in the future, maybe dark matter or nuclear power (which in itself is significantly too weak to get into space, even with modern technology).
Not to mention that some form of space fleet would be really useless if some form of... oh, I guess some space colony that you probably have.
@CptJacobson
The International Space Station, the largest and longest lasting man-made and artificial object in orbit around space, cost around 150 billion USD... and thats the culmination of over a dozen countries pitching in parts and funding for the station over decades...
Now 35 warships that I presume are larger than the ISS, and we're literally looking at a logistical nightmare; getting parts assembled on Earth in a sterlized workspace, then moving those parts into a shuttle capable of launching large chunks of the warship into space (which alone can cost upwards of a billion per launch, depending on the method used to leave the atmosphere), get the part there without have an admittedly small chance of mishap or unplanned rapid disassembly, just to be assembled in orbit around Earth and hope one of the billions of micro debris in orbit doesn't happen to hit the warship-in-construction and critically damage it.
Just imagine doing this 35 times without a hiccup...
of course you do...
Well, considering it's a massive space fleet, such an endeavour of planning, gathering suplies, building factories and workshops, transporting segments to space, and then building each massive ship would literally have to be a global effort.
But then a glance at how many times each country has been at war with each other, the ability to even assemble these massive ships in space -let alone get them to space- would be virtually impossible without some form of sabotage or blockade.
@CptJacobson
I'm gonna guess you have the required infrastructure and material/supply income to be able to build such a fleet, let alone maintain them, alongside the required alliances/ownership of countries with large enough quantities of these strategic materials to import them?
Because honestly, how would anyone be able to survive in this RP without the ability to spawn super massive factories and mines and workers in impossible amounts of time to just afford their massive fleet of super advanced warships and the such?
@CptJacobson
And what adds to the impressive design is it looks like it was designed in SP, so definitely an excellent amount of skill was put into it.
@Notaleopard
I'd put money on Halcyon for the sole reason the country has absurd amounts of equipment you'd expect from 10 years in the future (which I guess is expected from the RP since everyone likes to throw around "2030" and "2045" and etc in posts), yet has WMDs you'd expect from 100 years in the future with literally no explanation how, or any sort of infrastructure to even remotely support such a super weapon.
Not to mention they apparently have the most advanced transport, landing craft, and resource management systems because they can just manage to land massive armies on small hostile islands with no repercussions to supply, infrastructure, moral, or loss of allied life.
Though, CRV does have a really nice and well put together emblem/flag.
Thanks!
Yea, I'd like to actually see this come Sunday, without those "spoilers" and the such.
Make sure to tag me in the comments when it comes out.
@DemXu
Oh yea, I know this video is old. I just kiiiinda wanted to be up here first.
But no worries, I'm planning on actually posting something recent later today.
@CrashFighter05
Oh, I definitely get users not having Discord or Reddit, but when the most vocal users of the RP don't appear to be using either, then something's probably off.
Also, Ethernal is probably saying otherwise in the comments, considering I've only seen 2 moderators make opinions about Simplelandia.
@xGeneralFischx
(Heres what was cut from character limit)
Later, I tried setting up a system for nuclear weapons that would provide a game-changer; airfields could only be used for nuclear bombers if 20 miles from or within the target zone, and was not near a current frontline. Very shortly after, somebody tried to claim they dropped a nuclear bomb on Berlin, despite there being no useable runways for probably a hundred miles...? I really need to recheck those old maps at some point...
The point I'm making is, nobody wants to use these quality-of-life improvements, and I hope not out of sheer ignorance to them. They'd significantly help out users in coordinating with each other on both sides, figuring out battles and supplies.
Just reading this post lets me figure that this RP is well past the point of saving, qity RP players actively going and calling moderators corrupt for fricks sakes. Seriously? How are any of the Mods here corrupt? They have a job, and when some 12 year old starts spewing eavy vulgar and profane word he can think of, is it suddenly the work of a corrupt moderator to delete that comment and issue a warning?!
At this point, the only way of saving this RP would be to end it on a good note, and let everyone walk away before Moderators and, Göring forbid, Devs get involved with this childisn nonsense.
I feel I need to take a stance on this "debate", considering my experience with RP.
From my probably warped point of view, I'm starting to feel the Simplelandia RP should probably end.
Yes, yes, I know, it sounds like terribly extreme stance from someone who isn't part of the RP, but I have over a year of experience in running a pretty large RP way back. Some ancient Alt WW2 RP that burned real fast after the 1 year mark.
At this point in the Simplelandia RP, it has hit its peak, and is only gonna go more downhill from this point.
As in that old WW2 RP of mine, theres always going to be a extremely vocal minority who will screw things up.
For WW2, one guy was all it took. He started an argument with an very active member of the RP, causing the guy to quit and cause a massive rift in players.
I had to cancel the RP then, with that incident being the major reason. Other things/reasons that led up to this were users magically pulling insanely advanced weapons and vehicles into the RP at absurd levels, somehow knowing of secrets from countries that even citizens of the actual countries didn't know about, and the absolute child-like nature of a small number of users when things didn't go their way! I even had one guy demand I restart the RP because his faction was losing (and the reason they were losing to begin with was because nobody did anything)!
A final similarity I've noticed between the two RP's is a (probably not well) observed number of users ignoring others attempts to help improve the RP.
Weeks back, I saw a post made by Squirrel (I believe) where he went and made a whole Discord server for the Simplelandia RP, but considering how many major RP posts continued to be made on-site, I have a feeling it was ignored.
Another was a decently active Simplelandia user bringing up the idea of inputting [Roleplay] or something along those lines in titles of Simplelandia RP posts, so other non-RP users wouldn't get confused on obviously vague or click-baity titles for the RP. Buuuuuuut obviously next to nobody did such a thing.
Things like this happened in my Alt WW2 RP. Early on, I had made seperate Kik chats for the major factions, Axis and Allies. While I didn't oversee the Allied chat personally, I had a strong feeling nobody used it all too much when compared to the Axis chat.
(Crap, character limit)

@ChiyomiAnzai
And under the same presumption, same with demanding.
Though, it's a crapshoot most the time.
@ChiyomiAnzai
Yeah, @Lahoski107, I'm aware.
I have a feeling if that were true, those who demand get told off just as much.
@ChiyomiAnzai
If a position is open, and despite me not being in any capacity active in this RP, I would be grateful to be a moderator for the RP.
