How to Lose

[Biggie]

Ok, so you've fought a huge costly battle. You and your fellow RPers will be drawing this battle to an end. Who is going to lose?

NOT ME!!!!! I've just done all this battling and I am not about to lose!!!!

You know what, no one likes a sore loser. Everyone has to take a bullet every now and then. It can be fun too. Here are ways to make the bullet a little less painful.

Trust me when I say that when you lose, you actually gain respect. You will be more respected for being willing to sacrefice your nation in the RP than for continuing to drag it on. Yich, Juz, Holstria, and myself all have suffered some major losses. One time, my whole planet got nuked in a Space/Future RP. You know what, I had a great time coming up with a new concept for my nation. Now, I know sometimes the costs seem so great that it doesn't seem worth it to lose. Guess what? At some point you will have to realize that you have lost. When you are obviously out of troops or money, just let it go. Do not godmode.

Here's how you lose. Don't make it stupid. Here's how to make it happen:

Make it epic. Make it so that everyone feels for you. Everyone likes a good story. Also, remember that the characters are important. Make our heart strings tug as we see the last man die. Also, do something unexpected. Be original. Just remember something though. If you choose to nuke yourself, your nation is toast for a long time. You lose everything.

What to do now that you've lost. Well, ultimately it is up to the loser. Their nation, means they decide. However, don't make it lame. Form a treaty with some negative conditions or change up your government drastically. You can even become a Colony or Protectorate. However, there will be negative effects even if there is no extra condititions. Your nation will be destroyed with huge loses in your economy.

If you decide that your nation is going to be a colony, RP a resistance movement. Get other, large nations to assist in your goals.

If you decide to go down the rebuilding path, get other nations to help. Get money and other forms of economic aid.

What not to do:

-When you lose you lose, there is no denying that. Don’t go back in time, or try god moding your way out of it.

-Don’t get noobish, and launch thousands of nooks at the invading country.

-However don’t just give up, follow the tips and advice displayed here.

-Don’t go tech wanking and expect to win. Same thing with dog piling and number wanking. I’ve seen a hundred million pop. Take on a coalition that numbered 10 times it’s size.
