Hey there! I was just wondering if we could have a university-style forum added somewhere. I was thinking it could be in Sapphire City, but it could be anywhere. When I played NationStates before, a while ago, the region I was in had a University thread. Basically, people re-posted lectures, videos, pictures, experiments, and articles about a number of fields. They also wrote their own articles and lectures. They provided Q&A and FAQ's about a number of things. It was also a fun way to roleplay in some instances. It is largely OOC, although some roleplays can be built around it or take place at it.

Pros: Community Builder
OOC or IC or both
Roleplay Material
Can be used in advertisment Telegrams and RMB posts
Fun way to learn something new

Cons: Debates may occasionally turn in to all out brawls
Possibility of misinformation
Possibly limited interest (I may be the only one who likes this)

I personally think the Pros outweigh the Cons.

We could always come up with a clever name as well, but I have thought up some pretty generic ones:
1. Okatama University (OU)
2. Okatama Regional University (ORU)
3. Okatama College (OC)
4. Okatama Regional College (ORC)
5. Okatama Community College (OCC)

Anyway I wanted to see what the general consensus was. I think this is a good idea, and that it will be very fun and educational. Who knows what our members/citizens do for a living or study or have studied. It could be something great.

P.S. the name list is not all inclusive, like I said above, we could come up with a number of names, some of which are probably more clever/better. I just wanted to outline the basic/generic ones.

EDIT: It doesn't have to be right away, it is just a motion to be considered. It can wait until later if necessary, possibly after Constitution Ratification and/or Government Elections. Like I said, I just want to get a general consensus.

In roleplays (both regional and international) the WA Delegate for Okatama will be called Delegate Joseph of House Aein

After we have the bare bones of the region set up in stone, I'd be all for it. :smile:

Great! Hopefully it occurs soon. This is all so exciting, being here to help make and form a region, as one of the first nations, it gives you a thrill!
