Nuclear Weapons RP

[GreekIdiot]

@Zanz,

And IMO this is just a restatement of the already-existing rule that RP requires consent.

To me it reads as if you're just arguing that we should apply rules that already exist. That's fine and I agree that we should - but how, both in these cases and in general cases should we do so, when everything I have said above applies? Your approach here would leave much to community enforcement and subjective interpretations of intent. These can work fine on most things, as we have seen, but on weapons of this caliber (and particularly insofar as they are seen as means to international relevance), it's just going to be easier for everyone - mods, community, and players, if we say "nope, nobody has those". It's fair, it's impartial, it's easy to understand, and it's enforceable.

Agreed, I also believe that everything needed is already available on the current game rules and community guidelines. However, as nuclear weapons seem to be this super hot point of contention, what harm is there for a special sub-section repeating the general rules, specifically for nukes?

You've known me for a while now, I'm basically against bans of any sort. Banning an RP vehicle, at least to me, feels like that last resort in the face of general community failure. Players just can't handle nukes properly in RP, so let's ban em. Where do we stop, considering?

However, I'm no longer the active player I once was, I'll grant you that.

If a player is RPing something that is undetectable and refusing to face any realistic roleplay consequences of the story, they aren't even playing Particracy, they're just writing a book on their own.

Precisely.
