"Reset RP" , its more or less a meaningless sentence, its just a set of text-based minigames played by the community, they don't have to have a coherent plot together either, you can say each new RP is a reset.

You clearly aren't like the other players.
There are people on this forum who take the RP VERY seriously.
To a point where the term 'game' isn't even adequate anymore.

Well so they try to link all RPs together ? Its physically impossible, if you talk about ACH behaving like an owl that is just another game, all RP characters exist within a game, perhaps within a less regular scope than others.

Empire RPs are taken seriously, even though usually they just disrupt any established lore, have godawful format, neglect non-players (cough), stuff like that.

Truth is the empire RPs are actually the most coherent out of all RPs plot wise, from the simple reason they are actually set in the same universe, and not only this they are actually the ones that build the lore, we didn’t agree on any other kind of lore after all.

As for the format, don't like it - don't play, if you don't play it how do you expect that some other nation will address you, the non-player ? You just don't exist in that game. Want to exist ? Play it then.

As opposed to the personal ones that last a whopping two days on average?

Ok. Short form is, no, there will not be a subforum for faction pages.

Also, given that this discussion has moved offtopic and isn't really required, thread locked. If you want a faction page, put it in the RP subforum. If we get enough, I might even sticky them.
