User blog comment:The Emperor Nexus/My Opinion on this new "Roleplay"/@comment-3064571-20150423001944/@comment-24705028-20150427165949

Anon was me.

Don't act like you're the Patron Saints of all roleplay that goes on in the Internet. If you actually looked a little more into it than going into a region that has 1700's RP, or even just a forum RP, you'd see that it's completely different from what we do. It's essentially like some sort of "Novel". Are you going to rip on Roleplay that goes down in EVE Online, too?

You're pretty dense if we should thank a bunch of guys completely unrelated to the majority of us. I don't think you realize Roleplay has gone down there since 2003, when the site was established. Not only has it been a place for Roleplay, "Gameplay" is insanely popular as it has a player-made "Raider/Defender" Game, which is not quite In-Character RP. It's also a political debate forum, which has been recgonized by several institutions as a legitimate learning tool to learn multiple points of view.

Also, you don't realize the timeframe that the RP there goes down in, or even the setting. Some regions (essentially groups), like mine, have completely different worlds from Earth, with our own custom militaries and histories. But, it's still Modern Tech (MT). No Spain, No France, we don't allow relation to those nations there.

I'm going to have to conclude that you don't know what you're talking about, given your little passionate paragraph plus the reasons you're mad. NationStates is completely different to what we do, and is almost solely connected on the fact that we both "RP" in some way.
