For now on, in character, the kingdom of the Crescent Pirates will remain in isolation from all other kingdoms. All Crescent Pirates are to refrain from any in character discussion with any non-pirates.
We will remain nuteral IC with all kingdoms. This means we break any alliances or hosility we have IC with kingdoms.
In a sense, a very major sense, CP will be like a seperate role-playing game.
This is because all kingdoms have their own standards of roleplaying. We like to have the strictest, with no exceptions. If you refer to our rules, you see ALL players in CP must be in character ALL TIMES WHEN ON KINGDOM TAG UNLESS they have "-OOC-" in their name. We feel these are traditional ways of roleplaying and are simply commonly accepted as well as being common-sense rules. We will now enforce this rule even more. We understand other kingdoms may not necessarily require RPing on tag all the time. We will not waste our time trying to change this. Some people seem to enjoy these systems better. However, if we try to make our system work with these others, it does not work well at all. It is in our best interest that we discontinue doing so.
{~~~addition~~~}
I forgot to say this...
We will not simply ignore the rest of the world except our island and the members of CP. IC, we will still acknowledge the other islands, kingdoms, and their existence. However, we will not RP any encounters with them. If we go to their island IC, we will roleplay as if noone ever saw us on the island and we stealthy came on to the land and went about whatever business we had there.
{~~end the addition~~}
This action will bring CP closer together and cause it to be more active. Everything will of course be imitated in some way. Instead of having international RPing conflict, internal RPing conflicts may arise; Captains may have rivalries and battles which the Governor must then try to fix, if possible. We will have many adventures within the pirates that we will roleplay from. We will deal with the natural threats of life, the supernatural, the inevitable, and even those from our fellow man.
Hereos will be created. Antagonists will battle protagonists. Roleplayers will be rewarded for their efforts. And the kingdom will continue as a roleplaying group.
We will be more than happy to of course acknowledge a group as a roleplaying group. This means kingdoms as well as indepedent roleplaying groups. However, for this happen, we will need them to meet certain standards we have in order to not interrupt our own roleplaying. We don't expect many or any to come to this, but would be pleased it others would take up our ways. We will be happy to aide indepent roleplaying groups though and let them make their home upon our island.
I hope those who support us will continue to do so. And I hope noone will cause us problems with this decision. I do realize people in other kingdoms follow the style of RPing we require in CP, yet we cannot make exceptions for these people. We will only acknowledge a group IC as a whole.
Though IC relations will be non-existent now, I hope OOC relations can remain the same. Nothing has changed as for my feelings towards people OOC (Nayoko I still like for being a kind kingdom leader and being helpfull to all as to create a productive environment on Graal Kingdoms, Wren is still that person I don't know and seems like a kind person to people, on the few occassions I've stopped to watch her,Chris I respect for being the guy that sounds as if he's crazy for RPing [actually insane...mad...etc] and the person I share an old friend with, Padren I still respect and like as being one who actively pushes for roleplaying while doing other good things.).
That should be all. I will add on to this if I left something important out. The first "chapter" of our roleplaying will begin soon. |
