| What is New Hyperion? New Hyperion (NH) is a region of NationStates. It is an empire built on the principles of Hyperionism, our guiding philosophy. Great! How do I sign up? Hold on there, buddy, you haven't even registered yet! You'll have to scroll up (or just click here) and take care of that first. After that, take a look at those four forums at the top of the list. The Low Orbit Welcome Wagon is where you can apply for Plebeianship and introduce yourself. You can undergo Patricianship if you're interested in leadership. For everything else, go to Imperial Service. What if I'm a diplomat? Go to the Immigration Desk instead, and we'll get you masked. What's the government situation look like? Our region has three main levels of command: the Imperial Council, the Inquisition, and the Hyperion Senate. The Imperial Council (IC) consists of the Autarch, Chancellor, Lord Inquisitor, High Lords, and military command. It assembles when sensitive or secret decisions need to be made. Its members otherwise act separately as department heads and administrators. The Inquisition is the law enforcement of the region. Inquisitors ensure that all members are complying with any requirements currently set in place, and, along with the Lord of Development, also controls admission into the Patrician caste. The Judiciary, our courts system, also exists as part of the Inquisition. The Hyperion Senate consists of all our Patricians, and is the primary body of law and policy. The Senate operates somewhere between a democracy and a mob, and doesn't necessarily need hard votes to get things done. While the IC is technically superior to the Senate, it is more common for the Councillors to participate as Senators. As such, the Hyperion Senate tends to be the most important part of the entire government. Is that it? Of course not, that would be dry and boring. Granted, the Hyperion Senate is about as boring as a discussion on abortion, but you probably don't want to deal with its squabbles and silliness 24/7. That's why we have the Imperial Service and the military. The Imperial Service consists of the various departments, such as Foreign Affairs and Recruitment. All departments are volunteer-only, though enlistment and training in the Hyperian Guard is highly recommended for all members. In general, however, you will be encouraged to join under-staffed departments. Oh yeah, didn't your recruitment telegram mention an RP? Why yes it did! While we allow other RPs, of course, our main RP is the one that sets the standard of our theme and culture. It's kind of complex and involved, but once you get the ball rolling it's about as smooth sailing as any other RP. What if I need help? Pop us a question. Our patience is legendary. You may also check the Great Library of Trantor for answers to some of the more common questions. |

Okay, so there's a new RP. My first question is... how the fuck does this actually work? |

Okay, edit that post, or I'm ignoring everything in it. Firstly, my fleet was only half-way when they turned around. So we were still in our air-space. I stated this IC. Secondly, you violated a rule, which I'll quote now. "Do Not Auto (Autohit, Autowalk, etc) Autohitting is when a player performs an action without giving the affected players a chance to respond. For example, running up to somebody and saying *Stabs in the heart* then running off would be autohitting. Auto also applies to non-combative actions to which another player might have a reaction. Saying, *The black knight slips past the guards and into the castle,* while white knights are guarding the entrance to the white knight's castle would be autowalking on the premise that, in all likelihood, those knights would stop you before you got past them. This can easily be fixed with a simple rewording. Add "tries to" or "attempts to" to clarify that your character intends to perform said action, but his success depends on the responses of those around him. More advanced role-players will go into detail with their actions and emphasize their attempts. This is a frequently broken rule by newer role-players. Non-Example: *Melissa throws a lit match onto the bed of her unfaithful lover and his mistress, then watches spitefully as his hair quickly catches fire and the two begin to burn.*" |

Ok. Unfortunately I will not be editing my entire post. Yes I see the rule I broke, and yes I do apologize, but I will not be changing the entire situation just to satisfy that. I meant what I said in there. So I will give you or whoever a chance to respond. That is fine. |

So you are going to take the executive power postiton and delete my post as I'm editing it. Very classy Laurentus. I wouldn't expect anything less or more for that matter. |

That one is much better. I apologise for my hasty action, but it sounded like you weren't going to change it. Considering my main problem was the auto-hitting, this new one is fine. I also didn't just delete it without giving it a second thought. I saved it and was about to make it available for editing. That will no longer be necessary. |

I now understand the: "So I'll give you or whoever a chance to respond" part better too. At the time I interpreted it to mean that you weren't going to change anything, but just allow us to adapt to it as we see fit. |

Thank you for working this out peacefully, guys. Now please allow me a chance to respond to both of your posts. EDIT: Miri, your second set of coordinates put Laurentus' squadron over India. Could you or Laurentus tell me the actual location of his planes at the moment? This matters immensely. Thank you. Edited by Colberius X, Feb 7 2015, 04:36 PM.

What the hell. That was an accident. I really didn't mean for that. I could have sworn that I did it in the Atlantic Basin... It should be 14.466596 N, 40.078125 W Edited by Miricano, Feb 7 2015, 04:55 PM.
