Guide: Roleplay in Pacifica

Rules

Pacifica not only follows the same rules as TSP and all other RP, but follows some different rules and procedures from the other two canons. In addition to the rp rules, there are also the map and claiming rules outlined in the first post of the map topic; if you don’t follow those, your claim will not be processed.

  1. Permanent nations retain their identity. Permanent nations are not simply NPNs for community usages like in other canons; they have more strict usage. Major historical interactions such as wars should be consulted with experienced rpers who understand the context of these nations and what their actions will be.
  2. Pacifica is not Earth. While there are some major intentional similarities, Pacifica is not earth. Do not mention IRL cultures or events in an IC fashion unless there happens to be an IC version with the same name.
  3. No technology more advanced than the modern day. In pacifica, tech is restricted to what is currently possible and proven in the modern day. What this means is; no advanced space tech, colonies in space, and also no magic.
  4. All nations have embassies unless stated otherwise. In Pacifica, we generally assume that every state has some sort of contact with each other unless stated otherwise. If your state has isolationist policies or has some other reason to not have relations with some or all states on Pacifica, you should be sure to explicitly mention so.
