Ruling time!

Moving forward, all 2019 RP is considered voided, unless unanimously agreed by all parties involved to be maintained (this sounds simple, but most RPs involve a lot of people at least on the periphery). Solutions will have to be found by players where both sides have different opinions. This ruling becomes necessary due to the wide ranging consequences of the cessation of the Engellsphere as a concept in RP, a concept that has dominated much of the international RP this year. We will try through our new ruleset to prevent such events from happening again, by intervening earlier when similar situations might arise.

The Burgundian War is obviously voided specifically due to none of the players involved in it having any interest in pursuing it any longer for understandable reasons.

During a grace period of two weeks there will be an opportunity to move established nations to new spots as part of our general soft reset.

Finally, the current year of RP and the present day tech level are not subject to change at this time.

This feels like a really nice breath of fresh air. So to be clear, the RPs are voided but can pre-existing historical partnerships be maintained?

Does that include internal nation building or is it just foreign policy-related roleplay that gets affected?

" Moving forward, all 2019 RP is considered voided, unless unanimously agreed by all parties involved to be maintained (this sounds simple, but most RPs involve a lot of people at least on the periphery). " I think this pretty much covers both of your questions.

Does your RP affect other players? Then seek their approval. If not, then I assume it's good to go. I think everyone wants things to be clear going forward, but I think Xen's quote already answered your questions.

On second thought, I have a question.

Finally, the current year of RP and the present day tech level are not subject to change at this time.

Until last week, the rule was that the military tech level was 15 years before present-day, and that all other military tech levels are present-day. Is that still the ruling, or is the military tech level also present-day from now on?

I mean I still consider 15 year old stuff present tech, as war machines haven't exactly developed at leaps and bounds the past two decade. I wouldn't hope to see people trying to apply theoretical & equipment that's only just entering the testing phase/drawing board so nobody knows what its even really capable of (civil or mili) but stuff that was tested & has some real world results that just never saw production as it was cancelled would be a different story.

Yeah I don’t see there being a harsh time cut off date. We’re in “modern” and I think the general rule is more or less nobody is the USA and can afford some of the monsters of military hardware they create. Until we have a better system in place we’ll continue with this don’t be a dummy and go overboard approach. Community police so to speak.

People keep getting this idea, but it was never a rule. At the present time I do not feel comfortable making any further ruling regarding this, so tech defaults to a RL 2019 level until established otherwise.

This means that I have some more Rafales than I originally thought. But then of course Serenierre will have some more successors of the MiG-29 than he thought.
