Ide Jima Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 In Europa's RP section, we have about 10 active RPers. Of these, we are divided into three all powerful and dominating alliance systems - meaning that it's like RPing with three big nations. Get rid of massive alliance systems, and let nations think for themselves, and declare war betweem themselves without the promise of an international nuke fest. Doing this might get much more political variation, at the moment we are a collection of sensitive monarchies that fuss at the drop of a hat, which is something we could do without, I'd even be prepared to 'go bad' whatever it takes. Just look at other RP forums, and you will see that War RPs, are more common. I've been here for nearly a year and I havn't seen one MT (or realistic) war! In disintegrating The Alliance, The LT and the Coalition we have 10 seperately thinking entities within the nation, which I think we can all agree, is a starting point. People can now do things without being threatened by somebody elses alliance. Link to comment
Liberallandia Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I agree, make love, not war! Alliance systems and militarization both are the main causes of war, for reference, see WWI. I realize that I am the one who is most likley to start selling weapons in the first place, (My nation somewhat specializes in weapons manufacturing) but thats not the point. the point is; I don't want to read about a million pretend wars, when there are enough real ones to go around.

Orioni Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Meh, no alliance here my friend But I do understand your point. Link to comment
Deltannia Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Actually, I make it a point to enter no military alliance, or anything binding except for general trade "agreements". General, I just go with what I feel is right. But, if these people are in these alliances, then I don't think you can change it. This is a part of diplomacy, to make it MORE realistic, I don't think you should change it. Well, the Alliance Systems could lead to our own World War I.... Link to comment
Scipii Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I'm no longer in the League. And I think there are more RPers than ten. Link to comment
Tagmatium Rules Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 And I think there are more RPers than ten. Be fair. Ide's only got two hands. Link to comment
Orioni Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 @ Deltannia: You mean WWII or maybe III already, looking at the archive and historical RP. Link to comment
Upper Strathyclyde Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I don't know, I think they give a new aspect on things. Course I'm new 'round here so... meh. Link to comment
Ide Jima Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 I'm no longer in the League. And I think there are more RPers than ten. Perhaps, but the fact of the matter remains that this region's RP could stand to gain so much more if each nation could think for itself rather than follow allies blindly. Link to comment
Upper Strathyclyde Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 But would this bar anyone wanting to form a system, from doing so? Link to comment
Vanarambaion Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 While a noble notion, in some cases this will make almost no difference. Case in point - Akiiryu and Vanarambaion. The likelihood of them coming down on opposite sides of any issue is virtually nil, as they've agreed on every major issue since their inception. The Alliance was set up to reflect that, so everyone's not surprised when this happens. I don't think we should do away with the alliance system in this kind of OOC manner. If we're going to, there has to be a situation where being in an alliance is decidedly against the best interests of a collection of nations. Link to comment
Liberallandia Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 he has a good point. Link to comment
Haken Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 That's the biggest problem. The Alliance was once the only active collection of nations and their power lay in their same opnions. Problem was that those nations were one of the strongest and most militairiezed in Europa. LT was formed as a counter-weight for them. Personally I'm for this dismissing of alliances, because I no longer put as much time in LT as I once did and many issues just keep laying on the table. To many different opnions, I'm afraid. But I'm very sceptic that the Alliance, even if dismissed, would still in effect live on and destroy the balance. Aw hell, come on, we've been looking at each other belly buttons for too many months now, if we want this alliance system to end let's do it in a blaze of glory. Let's have war. Link to comment
