Right all.

ThreeEagles/Vultesia here, your friendly neighborhood RP Councillor. This is a lengthy one so buckle in, troops. For most of you, I imagine next to none of this will apply -so apologies for filling up your feed- but for some of you, your continued stay in the region depends on you taking this advice on board and acting accordingly.

First things first. The RP Guidelines, including but not limited to, the Rules of War, have been disregarded far too often of late. In the last month alone have had to telegram or direct message half a dozen separate Anterian players to issue warnings, stern guidance or otherwise remind them about sets of rules that are clearly highlighted and accessible above the very message board many of these breaches are posted on. If your post in breach of these rules, especially regarding realism, military, decency or violence guidelines, a suppress first, explain later policy will be in place.

Speaking of violence and decency; Kristallnachts and Kaisers, they stop, now. The RPC, is sick to the back teeth of putting down Wehraboos and Prussophiles larping as Authoritarian Germanic Empire (that's totally not a Nazi power fantasy, honest, bro) Nation N°1286158. It's not original, it's not creative; at best it's bland and uninspired, at worst it's straight up racist and brings all the wrong eyes onto Anteria. If you want to build a warlike Germanic empire, stick to Hearts of Iron and leave your Stahlhelm at the door when you log into NationStates.

Finally, the endless parade of civil wars, simply put this has to stop. The only thing more annoying than a poorly roleplayed and world built conventional war, is a civil war for the sake of having a civil war. Oddly enough civil wars are horrendous, bloody affairs with lives and livelihoods taken and destroyed en masse. If you are hurting to play a civil war, you'd best be prepared to play a sufficiently suffering and war torn nation not only for the length of the conflict but for the foreseeable future after the fact.

_____________________________________________________
Quickfire round for those really struggling:

•NO military roleplay, including but not limited to, civil wars, uprisings, coups, operations, insurgencies, battles, skirmishes, deployments, successions or strikes, before you've been in the region for 28 days

•The RP Guidelines and Rules of War. Read them, digest them, adhere to them.

•Please, for the collective sanity of the Roleplay Council specifically and Anteria in general; leave your Germano-Prussian-Bavarian-Aryan-Reich out of Anteria. The precedent has long been set, worn out, redone and worn out some more. You're all talented Roleplayers, I'm sure you can think of something, anything, fresher than that.

Most of this should have already gone without saying however it is clear that between a slew of new arrivals, and some established players pushing their luck, that standards have slipped.

This post is to be a watermark and a clean slate for all those who, reading the above, believe they need it. I ask all ny fellow Anterians to police one another -in civilised and cordial terms- and to flag up any breaches to either myself, the other RP Councilor or our Director of RP.

Many thanks all and have a great night.
