Now this is clearly not a small scale RP. This is quite big and is against the rules. I therefore ask moderation to enforce the rules of RP on these three players: Doc=Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK). VonHabsburg=United Kalistani Worker’s Front. Chitin=National Conservative Party.


The GRC will review this.

After discussing with other members of the GRC, it has been decided that indeed the basis of the RP is invalid as of 6 players with seats, only 3 support it which is not majority. While I admit that the RP Rules are lacking regarding the necessity to create a bill and vote for (something we'll immediately rectify) it has long been a tradition that players approach RP in a constructive, consensus based manner. It is also generally used to garner consent so its solidified.

Therefore, all this RP is considered to be retconned. Normally, I'd try to sort this out but right now the amount of players that are jumping onto this and several others issues that have arisen with this RP, we're going to state that the RP has been deemed invalid and ret-conned to just before the outbreak of the civil war. I envision that if something can be worked out between everyone, it would be advisable.

There has not been a civil war. Only limited civil disobedience and limited sabotage.

No Government forces have been engaged. As a matter of fact, 4 of six seated Parties HAVE participated in the RP, so essentially, what the GRC has allowed here is one player to veto the RP of other active players in Kalistan, so he doesn't have to be active. It's alright: He's focused on Alpha, I understand, and is just sitting in Kalistan. But given the proclivity of moderation to pull things like this, it is no surprise that they refused to act on my complaint for like a week, but acted on this squatter's complaint in like a day.

That's fine. Your decisions are entirely unchallenged. you don't even have to offer any sort of justification for your uneven moderation decisions or your apparent favoritism. I can't say I am surprised.

We will continue to RP within the rules found in Section 6 clause 2, which allows for small scale civil disturbance without consent of any other players, and will refuse to follow that particular player's ridiculous and game breaking laws.

Aside from our discussion via Discord, which I'll leave to be private, I've explained to you the situation and notified to you that there are other circumstances that have caused such a ruling. However, there have been several posts, both by players within Kalistan and players outside of Kalistan that have quite frankly given off a far greater scope and scale of this "limited civil disobedience and limited sabotage". I can understand that you have vested interest in Kalistan, however, there are rules that are to be followed and we'll enforce them when they are brought up.

I understand your point of view and appreciate that you're upset with the decision and I have given you instructions on how you might correct it. I hope you all do.

I'd like to object. Both the Patrotic League (Stuff44) and Liberal Democratic Party (MustafaKemal) participated in the RP.

http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=92&start=660 Here is a news article written by The Caliph (LDP)

http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=592966 http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=592964 These are two bills written by the LDP in response to the civil war. Both the PL and NLP supported these bills.

http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=592965 Here is an RP bill written by the LDP which states clearly their recognition of the RP. The PL writes "The government has approved help from Keymon" in the debate section of the bill, clearly acknowledging and participating in the Keymon affairs part of the RP.

I also believe it is incredibly unfair to let Stuff44 (PL), a player who contributes nothing to RP in Kalistan, get a RP, which we had spent our time working on, retconned when he realizes that it isn't going to go his way.

As I stated to Doc, you guys are welcome to pass that authorization bill, clearing up a significant amount of issues raised by several players and we'll be able to take it from there. One player isn't doing this, there are a number of circumstances, if you all have the consent that you are presenting to have, passing that bill and effectively clearing up the issues, it'll likely be good to go.

Thanks.

We'll cross that bridge if we get there. Otherwise, I'm definitely working to implement some RP rules that might clarify and make things easier in the future.

But as an addendum to my comment:

I would add that it is BS when one Party who does not otherwise RP on ANYTHING outside of bills and elections, should be able to veto what 3/4 active RPing players are doing, because they don't think we ought to be RPing anything. And it is BS that the GRC should have made this decision without even asking any of us to have any input on the question which may have at least mitigated your decision until we COULD comply.

This whole situation has been handled poorly, admittedly by our side as well as Moderation's, who seems to have jumped at the chance to intervene on behalf of one particular Party who is little better than a sitter in Kalistan, over the actions of several active Parties, both in and outside of Kalistan, and completely ignoring evidence we have presented, which moderation surely had which demonstrated an acknowledgement of the RP by 2 of the 3 Government Parties in Kalistan. I don't understand why you have chosen to intervene so decisively upon the complaint of this one player, while, when I made a similar complaint, it took the GRC almost a week to act on my concern, and then their act was basically mediation. I don't know what he is to you, but to three of the 4 active Parties in Kalistan, he is nothing but a troll.

As I stated Doc, you can put the conspiracy and theorycrafting cap away because quite frankly, it's a old at this point. There are other factors that we are not going to openly discuss and that factored into this. Great, you're unhappy with the decision. We get it. It'll be over and done with when you get your authorization bill passed and we'll be able to move past this.

As a note, this has ZERO to do with Moderation and everything to do with the GRC that is responsible for management and oversight of RP and you're welcome to PM me and discuss the complaint that took over a week to handle, if it's a reference to the Kazulia-Lourenne-Kalistan RP, that took far less than a week and was done by discussing with what all players want, discussing the factors that went into it and doing some background research on RP. Unfortunately we cannot live at our computers and being able to just immediately handle stuff. This current situation once again, had other mitigating factors and circumstances and once this gets all solved and squared away, we'll be able to look and review and fix the issues that are had with the RP.

As of now, this is the end of this discussion.
