[War_ooc] Okay, so...

[Michael Downey]

I would say to perspective applicants:

----
Hey, welcome to war. We are a creative writing game grounded in
realism, but the main point is to have fun! When writing a post, take
the following things into mind-
1) Has anything like/similar this happened before? Has anything
like/similar to this happened in this particular country before?

2) How left/right is this action? How left/right is the country in question?

3) Is the quality of writing good enough? Are my arguments logical?
Have I given credible justification?
---

I do prefer this instead of telling then "in this creative writing
game we base everything on a political/economic/military/social scale
system of 1 to 10." The 1-10 system isn't stupid, it is logical, but
it would be too cumbersome to be the main system in our game, IMHO
