General Requests

[Auditorii]

I'd like to formally apply for control over Dorvik, I've been putting it off for sometime. I've been in Dorvik for more or less 10 years and have developed, I think, a pretty interesting system of governance somewhere between the German Empire and the Weimar Republic, maybe with slightly less civil war.

In regards to the additional "parties", for now, I think that it might be best to leave them as "Independent State Council Deputy(ies)" so I can reflect the sort've fractured nature of the current Dorvish political spectrum.

Your request has been denied for two reasons:
1. Your activity in Dorvik does not necessarily justify a ProNat status for that particular country. We've felt that you've been relatively inactive in Dorvik, which could impact your ability to commit to the long-term roleplay that a ProNat-status nation would require. Your roleplay in Kafuristan, for example, currently includes being a major player in a war on a continent with possible regional/continental consequences—and such roleplay there has been sporadic compared to Pontesi and Istalia and others (in terms of that roleplay).
2. Per criteria two, which is quoted below from this page:

2. You must have a history of good sportsmanship, especially on international RP and with other players.

We don't have much confidence that your prior history of poor sportsmanship with other players will not become a problem in the future. We need to see improvement there and in role-play activity before we can have confidence in giving you a ProNat in Dorvik, especially.

If you've been improving in the former, then that's great, and we really appreciate it, but for now, we haven't seen much there to brush over our hesitancy.

If you have any questions, please ask them privately to a member of the moderation team.

I’m not quite sure why mine is labeled as having to be private when everyone else here has been quite openly discussing their protect nation status. Quite frankly, the activity as of lately has been down due to the approach of the holidays but, irrespective of this minor blip, I’ve contributed 10+ years and thousands of posts as one of the largely sole players in Dorvik. Both Greek and others have offered as much that protected nations are meant for the players who’ve built nations up over the years and have generated RP, to which I’ve done. You seem to forget that just before slip into inactivity for a week or so, I was a major player in regional tensions with Seleya, Majatra and Artania and a whole crisis in Migrant’s Pass; following that I’ve been focused on the outbreak of a war in Kafuristan, all of which has involved both IC work and OOC work.

I’m not quite sure anyone could realistically doubt the long-term RP I’ve developed in Dorvik, some storylines dating back IRL years that have been utilized continued. For or better or worse, I’ve conducted hundreds of story arcs in this game and just recently, again, concluded one with the Migrant’s Pass and JAMS RP. So I’m not sure where you’re coming from with recently? Past week or two, sure but I there have been other players who’ve disappeared for years and then come back and applied for such status, and those nations where people are brand new and have applied. Quite frankly, I don’t believe your judgement is correct at all.

As for your second part, quite frankly, 90% of the “Old Guard” could be excluded from that and several players who are active would be precluded because of bans and behavior. So I’m not really sure what else to say there, I’ve also very rarely had issues with players on the basis of RP. If you’re utilizing my duties as moderator, I’d flat out say that’s unfair because on an RPer to RPer level, I’ve very rarely had issues.
