If you guys could direct house recruitment elsewhere, it would be much appreciated. This is still an official topic on improving roleplay in the region.

  Sorry 'bout that...

Hehe...it's not just your fault.

I'm still hoping to get some insight on how we can promote RPs to the region outside these forums. I think there's a lot of interest in RPing, but we don't do the best job of promoting what you can get into to them.

Well, there's the RMB, and the founder has the ability to mass TG the region. You could use those resources as ways of promoting this Particular RP. If there's as much interest as I think there will be, we're gonna have a huge boost in members belonging to houses.

The Family system might not be so unique as I think it is, but its definitely a new experience for me coming to this region. One of the first steps in promoting this RP could be (and might have to be) promotion of the family system.

If they're to become successful, I foresee houses taking a role in a lot of regional affairs, especially in attracting new members and integrating them into the community. Who better to do that kind of work than people that are motivated to grow and maintain their families? Especially if there's a competitive component to it that would motivate houses even more. In that same vein, I don't think it's the system that needs to be promoted as much as families themselves, and it is probably best done by the houses themselves.

For regional telegrams, I really need to find people to help write those. We don't send them often enough for much of anything because I get too busy with other things. I think the last one we sent out was for the last Underhusen election.

Sounds like a task for the minister of informa...oh.

Unfortunately, even at the height of its activity, the Ministry of Information never took on anything beyond putting together the foreign dispatch, although they were supposed to do a great many other things. I imagine these particular dispatches could be written through the Ministry of Culture, or just by freelance writers as part of the Civil Service.

I guess I would have to join a house to participate in a house-based roleplay, huh?  Hmm...

Nope! Joining a House allows you to make one, two or all of your characters a member of that House should you so wish. If you're not a member of a House, you're unable to make any of your characters a member of one Lineage without prior permission from the M/Patriarch or in-RP confirmation of marriage (or along those lines).


Obviously I'd advise joining the Meindhert Line, but that's just because I'm Wintreath's only current Duke and my sister, Amalya is one of the few Countesses of Wintreath. We're obviously doing something right

Oh Mootles, now we're talking If the Houses do expand to fill a position beyond just the House RP and general fun, I'm sure we can work something out!

That's what I hope will be the beauty of it...there won't be much to work out. Houses will want to take on these sorts of roles out of their own self-interest, in much the same way regions do the same for NationStates for their own self interest. It'll be a huge boon to the region if it works out, and relieve some of the work that that government has to do now.

I've also been contemplating making a house-based browser game that would also encourage new and larger houses. Basically it would involve exploring, controlling, and expanding domains in the region, developing them to gain more resources for use or trade, building and expanding towns, raising armies (or perhaps family members would be the army), and fighting both NPCs and each other for domination in Wintreath, somewhat similar to the Daimyos of feudal Japan.

Or the family members could lead the armies, but then that would make it pretty similar to Heroes of Might And Magic.

That sounds cool

That sounds like an idea, I'm guessing, most of us would maybe like to implement.

The only problem is that it would take a significant amount of time to code such a project, especially with my current workload in the region, so my immediate goals are to close other projects and to offload some of the stuff I'm doing to others, especially things that are simple but take up a lot of time like recruitment.

Are there any other coders in Winreath that can help with the ongoing projects that you're planning to offload? Surely there must be... right?
