Ascensiam Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I meant the claims from yesterday.How can you guys go about determining if new people are fit for roleplaying? (Note: This is an honest question. I just reread it and it could be misunderstood. I\'m just interested as I\'m a nosey git. )I already got that planned, i have some previous methods and experience.It consists of writing a short story, demonstrating some basic political and cultural know-how etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Please, convince me that this cause is not entirely lost.It was very much improved just before it got hijacked; proper moderation was set up, people stopped claiming each others land, and some persistent troublemakers were removed.

Candre Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 That\'s an interesting method. Though we might end up having problems with newbie integration, especially if they are somewhat young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though we might end up having problems with newbie integration, especially if they are somewhat young.Without guidance, there wouldn\'t be any newbie integration, if things were to go the way Ascensiam wants it.Personally I like the method of allowing people a time period to integrate themselves into the RP, if they can\'t manage that after the set time (whatever that may be), remove them from the RP. At least it gives them a chance that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Wasteland Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Alright. Should I start creating some religions, and other stuff for the Kerbal World? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascensiam Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Alright. Should I start creating some religions, and other stuff for the Kerbal World?A few people, me included, already have religions, i believe mine is still the most extensive of those.The problem will be convincing people that their country wasn\'t 100% atheist since forever, because many here refuse to have a religion just because they don\'t follow one in real life, this is detrimental to their culture and history, and is utterly nonsensical, good luck, though!

Some of us aren\'t atheist but had a valid reason for the country to be. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascensiam Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Well... Some of us aren\'t atheist but had a valid reason for the country to be. ;DI\'d like to hear the reason then.The situation is simply that if your coutnry is just 99% atheist, you need to explain what the rest believe in.If you can\'t invent one, then adopt one, which i actively encourage, because it makes more sense to have a \'\'fold\'\' of countries following the same faith, just like northern europe is alike because of this.

Lord Wasteland Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Also for the map, should I take a copy and make several versions indicating 1. Nations 2. Culture 3. Religion 4. Natural Resources 5. Terrain 6. Alliances, and other maps so it is much more in depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that, that was when it an island.I didn\'t really want to put a religion up because there would have probably been a mixture. The most important was the state religion. Of which there wasn\'t one.*EDIT* I didn\'t particularly want to make my own religion either, because it would be surrounded by others. Near the end I was trying to encourage nations in the same area to create a joint history... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
