IOT Developmental Thread

[Weik]

Yes to 1, 2 and 4
No to Athenian democracy

 

[Cull]

Yes for everything.

 

[Joecoolyo]

Alright, here are the totals.

-Establish an IOT "etiquette" IIIIIIIIIIIIII
-A summary section with each update IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
-Athenian Democracy, i.e. players vote to kick people IIIIIII/000000000
-Lands of people who quit are made into neutral NPC IIIIIIIIIIIIII/00

("I" is yay and "0" is nay)

It seems as though the only one to be booted out this round was the "Athenian Democracy" idea, with, should I say, overwhelming support.

Time to move onto the next round!

Voting: Round 2

An IOT Sub-forum - Not necessary, but it would be good.
NO RL politics - Definitely
Limit posts/Scratch the post limit - Unlimited posts, but ban the spam
Defeated countries - Not bothered, but must be completely fresh if doing so

Repost it once all the voting is done, I've asked the same from tailless and omega. That way we won't clutter the thread n'stuff.

My suggestions for etiquette:

1. Do not flame, troll, or personally insult any other player OOC or IC. At all. You may comment on certain things negatively, but don't take it further than that.
2. Stay on topic. Make sure all comments are relevant to the fictional world of the current IOT and have nothing to do with your personal religious/political beliefs.
3. No powergaming. By definition, powergaming is making your country surpass every other country by all terms including armed forces, technology, etc. There was a problem with this in IOT I, but other than that I'm not sure there's been a problem with that.
4. Keep your actions realistic, and don't declare war on someone for a personal reason.

That's all I have so far, may add more later.

Seems fair.

Yes please.

NO RL politics
Sure why not.

Limit posts to only 3-5 every 24 hours
No, but if you spam too much you get penalized.

Countries who have been "defeated" can come back, but with a different personality
Huh? Whatever, I'll abstain on this one.

What did I just say?
