Ok I'm a newfag, I just joined this iteration but from what I've seen from a lot of discussion about this subject is quickly derailed into shit flinging over old memes and just general faggotry. What this place really needs next iteration to reduce drama and overall cancer is a sticky with all rules concerning every aspect of the server, exceptions to these rules if they exist, and a separate list of rp related rules and guidelines. This way rules aren't memorized and interpreted differently by varying players and I feel a concrete list could cut down a lot of this shit by quite bit.
This isn't my main point but:
I personally feel a cut down in administrative involvement could end a lot of this shit too. Events are OK I guess but anything aside from that and enforcing fail rp shouldn't really exist including gifts and changes to nations. The rule list would help with this because in my 2 months here I've seen a bunch of shit go down as a result of backtracking on decisions about whether something was rp/against the rules or not by administration.
