Well, I have a problem: I would like to get into an RP, but I lack the skills to start one. So I would appreciate any help you can give. If you need more information about my nation(unintentional), just ask. Though do keep it relevant.

Well, what sort of government does your nation have? Capitalist? Communist? Dictatorial? Democratic?

Or you could host a reception in your nation for government representatives.

Or you could tell the story of the arrival of your nation's representatives in the regional capital (Rillanon) on Christie Island. (see the map).

Or you could talk to just one nation that isn't fighting and seems like you and see if you could arrange an RP of diplomatic relations.

A diplomatic relations conference with a country(s) currently not at war would be a good start. It would be simple enough for a novice.

Well, i could do it if it were that simple. The reason I can't is because my nation is a bit more complex than merely a nation. I don't have time to explain it now, but I will explain it later.

This will be done in bits due to...well, I don't know what it's called.

First off, their tech level. It is FT in interplanetary travel and domestic devices(and a bit off the weaponry) but its prettry low-grade in travel. Higher in domestic.

next, the location. They aren't really a nation. They mostly live in small communities spread across planets and space.

Sounds almost Craftworld Eldar-ish. Perhaps they used to be a nation, but were defeated by another (cough *Pack* cough) and are now scattered and looking for vengeance and a new homeworld/land to call their own? Nations don't get scattered by accident, you can really play up the tragic hero role if that's your style.

No, that's how they do it, establishing small colonial communities.

does your nation have a specific location? If any are in the cantauraus arm, its highly probable they have been overrun :P

I think most of my suggestions still apply. It might just happen on a smaller level.

Hmm...the colony on earth is on the Lofturior plot...and they're isolationist, so something would have to disturb them...but what? An accident with a ship?

After checking your location, Lufturior, you could always try a maritime-related RP or have one of your neighbors disturb your slumber. Or, have your leader meet His Excellency the President of the Republic of Blanchettia.

I think I'll go with a slumber disruption. Any volunteers?

Well, to start off, as RP Admin, I should explain...most of the nations near you are inactive, Lofturior. And that area to your left isn't an ocean (I don't think...I'll ask Kellsek to be sure), its just the end of our area of the region. Point being that theres not a whole lot of hope for someone else starting something with you.

But theres a heck of a lot of hope of you starting something with yourself. If any of the nations near you are inactive on NS, they can be considered NPNs (non-player nations). Meaning that other people can take over their RP (so long as the other person ultimately plan to either take over the plot the nation in question owned before leaving, or plans to totally withdraw after the RP).

So, if one if your neighbors is inactive...well, you could have them invade you, collapse into anarchy and ask for help from you, etc. etc. Chances are, you could get some other people involved through a major international incident (of any kind, not just the warlike) between your nation and an inactive.

As an alternative...in the case that that is a ocean next to ya...I could always have an FPS Supertanker have a major malfunction and start slowly leaking its millions of gallons of oil off your coast line...
