Regional Map Rules Open Debate

So, as everyone knows, our regional map and its IC thread currently lack any kind of set rules. Various rules have been discussed and applied in the past, but nothing official has ever been made. And as it's obvious by what happened to the other maps, roleplaying can't happen in the absence of rules, or it will degenerate in arguments and chaos.

This will be an open debate to propose, discuss, and argument the various rules we need to put some order in our regional roleplay. However, knowing our usual behavior, we must set some rules for this particular debate.


  • All members of the region can participate.
  • The MoRP and the members of the RPC will act as moderators, with the full power to suppress people or eject them from this debate.
  • All talking will be done in a calm and respectful manner, with arguments for your opinions.
  • Joking, shitposting, flaming, and other in that area are strictly denied.
  • Respect the basic forum etiquette.
  • Basic roleplaying rules, like godmodding, can't be rejected.
  • Try to post only if you have something useful to say.


And here it goes.

  • Realism must be maintained, in regards to all aspects of roleplaying.
  • Metagaming is strictly forbidden.
  • ICly, characters can act however they want, but a basic etiquette will be kept between the roleplayers.
  • All posts must maintain a minimum decency in regards to quality, so no one liners.
  • Expansion will be allowed in moderate limits.
  • Wars between two nations can't happen unless both nations agree. But if one nation has done something that justifies an attack from the other, it has to suffer the consequences.
  • The use of Weapons of Mass Destruction, especially nuclear and biological weapons, is strictly forbidden. They exist and can be mentioned in the IC world, but any usage of them would destroy the roleplaying experience.
  • The MoRP and the members of the RPC will act as the OP, respectively the CO-OP's of the roleplay, with full power to apply these rules and punishments for breaking them.
  • Breaking a rule leads to a warning. If three warnings are accumulated, the RPC and the MoRP can decide a temporary ban from the regional roleplay, or if problems persist, a permanent ban.
  • As moderators, the MoRP, the members of the RPC, and their decisions must be treated with respect by the other players.

And I'm going to push specifically for it to pass, because from my experience, the use of nuclear weapons especially will only result in a sh!tfest of destruction which will destroy the roleplaying experience for everyone.

I really like these proposals, especially where it states wars have to be agreed upon by both parties except when they are clearly justified.

I completely agree. We don't need another Celibrae.

I would agree on strictly forbidding nuclear and biological weapons (to prevent Celibrae Mk.2 from showing up), but I'd keep a hold on chemical weapons - and by those, I mean white phosphorus - since this will be up to debate.

I feel that for chemical weapons, 20th century gases like mustard gas should be allowed, but the new more deadly type of chemical weapons should be banned. I also support the ban of nuclear weapons

Chemical weapons should indeed be allowed, as long as they are not used as WMD's.

I mean, you can't deliberately provoke a nation to war, and then when it comes to it, hide behind the rule that it needs to be agreed upon. All actions have consequences.

Should we out down that what the MoRP says is law and that they should be respected?

That would be a nice addition. The RPC members should also be respected since they serve as CO-Op's.

Whilst this is certainly the correct thing to do, there should be a system where these people are held accountable if there any wrongdoings (such as using their position to godmod).

This concerns the CO-OPs too.

I'm glad this discussion exists. I just don't think I will participate, given that I don't particularly mind either way.

It's quite obvious that these rules apply to everyone, including the MoRP and the members of the RPC, and that if they break the rules, they will suffer the same consequences.

What kind of realism are we expected to maintain, has to be some leeway on this. And no nukes or other WMDs, "oneliners"? quips or short answers? Are we really worried about each others feelers?

Realism? Basic realism, taking into consideration especially the technological and physical restraints of the modern tech and modern era. No futuristic tech, no space ships, no tanks that destroy entire armies. No armies that suddenly teleport to the enemy shores. Stuff like that.

No nukes and no other WMD's, yes.

So, in accordance with their definition, the WMD's are created to damage the enemy as much as possible. Nuclear weapons especially, in a roleplay, if used, will usually start a response from the other nuclear powers, which would, like in real life, lead to the a MAD situation, which would be the end of the map. Crappy nuclear wars and apocalypses aren't exactly fun to roleplay.

Oneliners and short answers, obviously. We must maintain a basic standard of decency and quality. Oneliners are a disgrace to roleplaying,and show disinterest and lazyness.

In terms of nuclear weapons, will they have ever been used in our history?
