I have been trying to stay out of this, but obviously I can't so I must speak my mind. Firstly, I agree, that there should NOT bt inactive people claiming countries they can not defend. If you cant get on, you cant, but Role Play takes place in game like it or not. A little page saying you have a bazillion bazookas does not justify your true power in game, because when theres a war, you fight it out in SvS. IN GAME. Don't slam John for being King of England, he is a successful role player! You're not agreeing because he is the friggin King of England, you're agreeing because it has truth. Secondly, In all honesty, Role ay Council does bother me, I act like it doesnt, but it does. The people who man it are great people, yes. But I believe the council should not have any authority of anything anymore, rather, a United Nations type council in which all leaders meet up and decide "Should Albert the Stupid get Malta?" (Example). Because to be honest, these people on the council are not ideal in my opinion, they may be my friends, but not ideal in making decisions. Id gladly say why each one probably shouldnt be on it, but something I find in common is all of them seem inactive or ARE inactive on the game. And this goes back to "Role Play happens on game". Next, the fact to claim a country title means you are accepting the fact you could lose your land at any time in war against Spain England or whoever. If you cant accept that mere fact, then dont join role play at all. Because in the real world if Japan says "Hey Korea were at war with you now" Korea can say NO NO NO NO all they want, but theyll lose their land to Japan, which we have in game. You can deny war all you want, but if you dont defend yourself, dont claim to be King of Lala Landia after England beat the crap out of you and took your land. If you are going to claim a country, be ready with a military to defend your title and be respected. Thats what John has done, what Pearson did, what I have done. We ALL accept the fact if we lose in war that we will lose our title and land, like it or not, buthurt or not. It is just the fact. We all loved the EITC, Pirates and three countries times like Bobby misses, but sadly its gone and were gonna have to accept the new rules and facts of today, or leave. Just a mere fact. Like it or not.
