Guys if I joined the RP should I like post everyday? I mean is it okay if I don't post for 2 or 3 days?

Like 
Cedoria said, whenever you can is fine! If anything, posting everyday is kinda outside the norm in our RP, so no pressure to post that often; we have a few longer-term things running so everyone has time to pitch in.
Speaking of which, join the RP! We have a World Cup starting up soon, along with action with nationalists in Kasia and Haltêl, the story of a Callidian diplomat traveling in the pirate “nation” of Free Selip, and a civil war against The Eyes, a cult in Braequa. The RP’s hosted by Minister of Roleplay 
Podria on this Discord server, the Assembly of Nations:

Hello, everyone here. I was wondering, what are yalls opinion on the center-left? Are they "true" leftists?
Hope everyone has been having a nice week!
I've been thinking lately, and if anyone wants to read, then feel free. I believe capitalism has seen its widespread usage largely due to securing "integral positions" through funding and (especially for fascists and nationalists), coercion and manipulation, and so for the proletariat to succeed in empowering themselves, we must have systems that support these integral positions ourselves. These, I believe, being widely accessible and deep unionized education and educational resources such as libraries, archives, and recorded lectures, and then selecting the most promising students, workers, and innovators for administration, the second system. As then, children from more backgrounds are available to contribute, instead of only those with the capital or connections to those in power.
Then, the experts on the issues at hand, as educated by their union, can form a council and distribute the means of production of their trade/science/art to their workers, allocate funds towards improvements and thus are able to provide their workers with more efficient and productive means to perform their jobs.
I'm going to join in a few days, just have things to do now and I don't have much of free time
LESS THAN THREE HOURS LEFT UNTIL THE POLLS CLOSE LET'S GO LET'S VOTE COME ON IT'S SO EASY

I just woke up and these are just my thoughts on the matter and I’ve never claimed to be a theorist myself so take all that I say with a grain of salt. Upon reading this, my immediate thoughts are that this is well-meaning but technocratic policies are not the way to build socialism, in my opinion. I agree with you that we must create societal institutions that foster community spirit and growth, however, I would diverge from that point and argue that we should not seek to find who among us are the most skilled or talented or what have you. This isn’t to say that there aren’t going to be people who are just naturally more inclined in the arts or sciences. People all have different talents and whatnot. However....
How does this relate to your argument? I believe (at least what I’m understanding as such) a technocratic system like what you are putting forward would only exacerbate the issue of specialization. People go to their jobs and they feel disconnected from their labor, from their peers, and from themselves. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but instead of looking for the “experts” to lead society, I’d say we need to radically shift our mindset from seeking the highest output to how can we involve everyone? Yes, we ought to make sure people understand these things we’re talking about, and when someone doesn’t, we do our best to help them understand. Especially people with disabilities. That’s another point though. But Tl;DR, I fear this might leave them behind just like capitalism has. And yes, I’m all down for council systems, but instead of a society governed by “experts”, we allow the democratic process to take place and people put their confidence in their peers. That’s not to say people can’t put forward ideas on why they would be able to help the community if they were on the council, rather we aren’t pitting segments of the population against each other, or creating a new caste system.
Once again, I’m not opposed to councils. Just concerned about implementation and how we can be the most inclusive and equitable. Once again, earlier I mentioned disabled people. In any society, despite advancements we make to mitigate their struggles, there will be people who just can’t keep up with everyone else. Whether that’s mentally or physically or both. That’s not to say these people can’t contribute anything. Just to say that they would most likely be left behind in a socialist technocracy, just the same as they are left behind in our currently technocratic world. We want to have open and inclusive spaces for all community members.
I know you weren’t trying to ignore or exclude anyone. And I know that in any system, there are going to be people who do outperform for one reason or another (right, Marxists never argued that everyone produces at the same rate). However, I feel like the wider ramifications is that this structure would not just force us into more boxes, but also create castes (or classes) in society that might inhibit the progression towards a communist society. (This says nothing of the possible international implications with conflicting interests much like we see today.)
The administrative class of society (those I have previously referred to as the technocrats) might argue to everyone else that our current institutions get the job done but once we find a student we think might be promising, let’s bring them over to a vocational program to nurture their leadership skills. And of course, one might suspect their children would be included in this just as the wealthy of today make sure to secure opportunities for their children. So now we have unequal development in education. And sure, this might face some opposition, but if we believe these are the most gifted among us, and they argue this would allow for better nurturing of administrators, why shouldn’t we acquiesce to the proposition? This is all a thought experiment however. I have no way of knowing this would happen but just merely a potential scenario observing how private educational programs often come about.
And as far as the global ramifications, unless we have coordination among the global exchange of goods and services, the planners of each society could be at odds with one another. Although this is applicable within any context. This is something all forms of post-capitalist societies would have to grapple with. The international aspect.
I would like to make it clear that this was not intended in bad faith or to strawman and if anyone feels that I have strawmanned Soviet Catgirls, I am deeply sorry for that. I merely saw an opportunity for discussion and I’d like to share my thoughts. Now if you were to ask me what I think should be done, I might be incredibly vague due to wanting to allow for as much malleability as possible. But generally speaking, I like a system of councils either federated or confederated and whatever way we can make sure we’re living up to the ideals of cooperation, community, and inclusion I can get behind that.
In Unity,
-Grey

📊📊📊📊📊JANUARY 2021 MGA BY-ELECTION📊📊📊📊📊
Voting for the January 2021 General Assembly By-Election IS NOW CLOSED.
The By-Election Committee thanks the Electoral Citizens who voted, and the candidates who took the initiative to run for the vacated seats in the General Assembly. Know that there are many other ways to participate in regional life and residents do not necessarily need to be a Member of the General Assembly to write laws either.
Due to significant time zone differences, results won't be out until after a few hours, we ask that the region be patient. It takes time to check and double-check votes and to verify confirmation telegrams.

Interesting discussion, comrade Greylyn! I actually agree with you, mostly; bringing education to as many people as possible reduces the dangers of uninformed democracy. Though selecting councils based on understanding and skill however, appears to me as a good counter to oppose capitalism, especially in the beginning of revolution, considering the world that we are theorizing for contains capitalist states and counter-revolutionaries and is not globally free.
