Nuclear Weapons RP

[GreekIdiot]

Being the one who brought this thing back recently, I suggest:

1. Players/nations who choose to RP the development of nuclear weapons, auto-consent to the RP being discoverable - which means it's now an IC public relations game and not an OOC debate of cat and mouse game
   
2. Consequently, they also auto-consent to the actions of the international community on the subject - which also means it's now an IC public relations game, just like in real-life, think N. Korea, Iran vs Russia / USA
   
3. Players/nations in possession of nuclear weapons cannot use them unless the "victim" player/nation asks for it - which means it's an RP vehicle that has nothing to do with power gaming
   

On the 1st point, most of you have probably avoided acknowledging recent WMD RP out of fear of the 2nd point and the players developing WMD skewing and avoiding any of the consequences of being a N. Korea developing nuclear weapons, which ultimately leads to the 3rd point.

WMD RPers are never going to use their nuclear weapons, anyway, unless a victim agrees to being nuked. And since points 1 and 2 are already problematic in terms of OOC consent and agreement, the likelihood of any result kinda proves imperialpearl's self-management counter-point.
