Listen, this is not directed at anyone specifically but we really need to make some changes. We are not near as organized as we should be, everyone wants to have things their way and it is just not how it works. We have things happening on the NS page and other things happening on here. We can not have a battle without one person disagreeing about what should or should not be allowed or what should count or what should not count. Clarity and organization are they keys to success, not just on NS forums but in life. We can't all be the biggest and best nation. Not only because it does not work, it is not fun because it takes way from realism. This is not about the civil war, that is just a rp thing for fun but we really need to take a step back because this is turning into a third grade class with the teacher not showing up all week.
If people want to have battles, that is fine but we really need to find out a way to have a specific system that makes it realistic. If the real world was like our forum, Vietnam would have been a 12 hour war in the favor of the US, but as you could see from history, the big guy is not always a guaranteed winner. War, battle, raids and everything should be closely looked over by a secretary of interior. And when it comes to sec of interior, it should be the most important position on this site besides the president and in many ways, even greater than the president because it is the referee.
Role play in itself has to be done more realistically and somewhat in a time frame. When a state decides to succeed or break a law, they would not just be thrown off the face of the earth. If thats how things were done, Iran, North Korea and so on would not be here anymore and instead we would create a cotton candy theme park in their place. I am not saying we need to be 100% realistic, but we really need to be close as we can because thats what makes things fun. If we are going to be a nation and not a world union, I agree, the national government should have more power and really states would not even have militaries. But if thats how we want things to be, there needs to be a large war or people have to given in an no longer have militaries.
Bottom line we should all take our egos down for a few days, sit around in congress, ooc even and put things back in order. I am not saying wipe our the government or change everything but as a manager in real life and as someone who watches the news more than anyone probably, this is not how any world would run. I was part of another region once a while back and it was amazing how well controlled it was and how realistic it was. I would wake up in the middle of the night because I would want to post something or had a role play with someone and wanted to see if they posted back. People are going to move from the NS page and see the chaos that is going on here and feel so overwhelmed and decide " screw it, not worth it." I have even came on a few times and was about to create a huge role play even just on my own for my nation and I have said to myself, "whats the point, it won't matter and it will just be shrugged off."
Just wanted to bring this up because, it is important to the survival of the region.
