The moderation team has updated section 3A.6 as described below. This was done without a consultation period because the change is simply of rule wording rather than rule intent. The new wording better reflects the way the moderation team has currently and will continue to interpret this rule.

Very basically, we are being more clear about how we define "direct and/or impactful manner", as the previous wording used.

New wording

3A. Requirements
To be eligible for a primary slot - meaning to be granted full control over the roleplay content and direction of a nation - you must:

1. Have above average sportsmanlike conduct - meaning you are generally cooperative and collaborative with most players, engaging, helpful and especially understanding of the difficulties, limitations and different points of view and roleplay styles of other players
   
   
2. Have exceptional respect for prior and established roleplay, especially if the nation you seek to control is not obscure/underdeveloped
   
   
3. Have exceptional respect for the cultural aspect of the game and cultural composition of nations
   
   
4. Have great standing as far as the community guidelines are concerned (here)
   
   
5. Have good standing as a player who does not abandon stories involving multiple players and/or jumps frequently between nations
   
   
6. In general, not roleplay with other nations you control as a primary or secondary controller in a way that changes the established characteristics or territory of either nation. Players may request moderation for input ahead of time on RP plans if there is any question.
   
   

If you're new to the game and the community, joining up as a secondary, first, is generally the way to go.
