AVA: The act that gave Vista's military powers to root out members of a nationalist party. Obviously his government did not listen to Katerina's demands that it end, but maybe they would have listened if their southern neighbor said the same thing. Regardless, his First Minister is in my capitol of Shanghai right now, having very tense discussions with Katerina.

I'm not gonna send the whole Navy just yet.

And, no, I haven't killed anyone. We're not allowed to. The Nationalists are being detained until a proper trial happens or AVA is repealed. Whichever comes first.

I have an idea! What if we started a second Confederacy General from scratch, but this one was way more lax with rules. Just as an experiment to see if we enjoy it more.

I second that. If sentient locomotives can be accepted as canon in our RP universe, then surely it wouldn't be too much of a challenge to include anthropomorphic equines and other fantasy/furry creatures; if anything, I think nations like Ono and Russkov should be easier to incorporate into our RPs, since they at least have hands and are (probably) comparable in size and abilities to humans. No offense Percy, but organizing a diplomatic conference with sentient locomotives must be a massive logistical headache. But, I digress.

That's enough ships to fill up a solid quarter of the Black Sea!

Talk about overkill/overpopulation!

Think about how much fuel it would take to deploy even a fraction of those ships!

It takes +7 million per day just to keep a nuclear CV running, not including aircraft operating costs, and not including the increased costs of a deployment!

So many rules? I count four including the branch restrictions as seperate ones and five rules including the war agreement.

I recommend not trying to take on three regional powers while two of them are backed by the strongest alliance on the planet is all.

Taller than the average human, but not unreasonable. At least they could probably fit through most doorways, with only occasional bending required. Good luck getting a standard gauge steam engine through a doorway.

That's enough ships to fill up a solid quarter of the Black Sea!

Talk about overkill/overpopulation!

Think about how much fuel it would take to deploy even a fraction of those ships!

It takes +7 million per day just to keep a nuclear CV running, not including aircraft operating costs, and not including the increased costs of a deployment!

3,681? I think that was a mistype on my part. I should only have around 30. (22 in dock/ 8 active)

Lemme go fix that

Sizes do change between the races in the Federation, but there's definitely not any 8-9 foot tall monstrosities or 3 foot micro peoples. The smallest "Khyrovian" are between 5'2 and 5'8, the tallest between "Nyko" 6'2 and 6'10.

Try tearing down then rebuilding a 1/3 of a Major League ballpark in less than a week for a bunch of sentient engines to see a game....including special tracks, booths, ect.

You're not wrong. We try to avoid sending engines to diplomatic conferences, but when we do, we either need to make special arrangements with the host country (temporary tracks going through the conference room, having the conference in a railway station, etc.), offer to host the conference in Percyton where we already have things set up for engines, or we send Rex (since he's a miniature engine, it's much easier to accommodate his size than it is for a big standard gauge engine like me or Thomas).

Like I said before, I'm personally OK with it so long as they aren't treated any differently to humans in terms of strength or speed.

Beyond that, most of the problems come about in that Percy and Peng don't RP really. It’s one thing to be acknowledged and quite another to be involved in a war with creatures that aren't human, you know?

Yes, I've heard that before, but it still seems like a bit of an inconsistent standard. I feel we should either accept non-human nations, or not accept any at all; little exceptions like 'only if you don't actively RP' just open us up to allegations of double-standards, especially when, like I said before, these furry creatures and equines are probably comparable to humans in terms of strength, speed, and abilities.

FT would solve this, but I know people don't wanna do that. Hell, PMT would solve that; the only problem is deciding what's OK and what's not.

Something more PMT would work, IMO; it could accommodate more non-human and technologically advanced nations, while not leaving behind vanilla modern nations like myself and most other nations here. We would need to establish a definitive technological ceiling and limitations, but once we work that out, it could work.

I'd love PMT. I can finally do some biological stuff

Well yeah, like I said so long as they're in line with humans then it's fine in my mind, but the point is that in general Peng and Percy don't RP and ergo aren't really comparable to a nation of potentially much differently able creatures who could (In the hands of a poor RPer) be said to be massively stronger/faster/bullet-resistant unless explicitly stated otherwise. So long as it's kept to Human levels, it's chill.

I mean, personally speaking, to me that opens up way to many holes for near-magitech but it depends on how people want to swing it.

I really don't think it solves much of anything since it makes more problems than it solves in my mind.

This is why I think we should set up a Roleplay Council, set some initial standards for whats acceptable, I think if we were to allow slight PMT we could totally fix the Ono and Equa animuncli problem.

Hell I think we should do a lot of things, like set up a starting system for new players so they're not suddenly thrust into the game, because, tbh what happened with Kohalo isn't really his fault, he didn't know what standards we accepted and wanted to do things that simply aren't possible realistically due to inexperience, I was the same when I just started out here.

I think slight PMT should be allowed but we'd need some sort of governing system, such as a council, clear cut rules and general guildelines, and sufficient moderation

I don't think we need to extend PMT so as to allow Ono or Eq. Realistically since we allow talking trains with unexplained origins we don't need a scientific base for furries, and so long as they abide by the standard human limitations they'd be set (Note, if they don't, you're looking at unsustainable militaries and populaces due to logistical limitations).

I can agree to clear cut rules (Personally, in my biased way, I think the admins are fine enough -though we could do with another member since Unf is dropping out- but the more people you add to the mix the more factionalism will play a part in the choices that are made and as such whatever "Council" would be created would need to be kept to a small number of respected members) though I'm not quite sure how much more clear they could really get. Aux did hostile stuff to three regional powers which should have been the wake-up call for it being a bad idea since he ain't really Napoleon, I don't think stressing the Five Rules we have (Army limit, Navy limit, Air force limit, Tech Limit and War Agreement) could really help him anywhere near as much as advice from senior RPers.

Aux/Ko didn't figure I would get involved because he didn't know my nation's relationship with Andy is really positive and because we're ideologically imperialist.

So, what about just making an RP "database" where people can get caught up to speed about who is what?

Andromitus, Percyton, United Continental States

I'm 100% used to being left out of RPs anyways, so it really doesn't change much for me if we keep things the same.

I don't have a dragon race in Onocarcass, there are 2 Chymyrtist gods who are dragons, and the majority of Kzaric citizens follow Alanyxia, one of them.
