Here are some questions we have been asked.
(Feel free to ask more here in the comments section)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1. What is this RPG about exactly?
It’s about the world’s history, using its nation-tans, in a office setting.
2. How old does my character have to be?
It’s in an office setting, so your character must be older then the age of 20.
3. What are the character limits?
Character limits are used so that everybody has the same chance of applying. The limit is two canon, or one canon and two fanon characters.
4. What do I do if my character didn’t get introduced in Hetalia?
Well, learn your character’s history, and plop him/her down.
5. What are logs? And what’s the Personal Journal?
Logs are in Third Person roleplay, kinda like a fanfiction, except for the fact that there are two or more writers. They are like the third-person example.
On the other hand, personal journals are first person examples, emails, phone calls, or text messages.
6. What are the requirements for a director or as a co-director?
Your character must be one of the main characters of Axis Powers Hetalia.
7. Does it have to be concrete history?
While we encourage a characters back story to be influenced from actual history, feel free to change the history as you see fit, only stay in character!
8. Do we have to go in order?
No, unless the previous event has to happen. Like World War I must be before World War II.
9. Do I have to include all of my country's history?
Nope, add and subtract as you see fit.
10. Are there bathrooms?
No, we all squat in the corner-- OF COURSE THERE ARE BATHROOMS, SILLY! XD They are next to the elevators on every floor.
11. What does Nation Corp. do?
We sell computer software and accessories. The NPC (Non-Player Characters) floors are the software developers. Think Microsoft in its early stages.
12. What is the best way to become close to the other Muns
Since MSN/AIM is not required of our Muns, the best way to get in contact with one another is to come to our 24/7 active IRC chat. I can be accessed easily on the main website.
13. What is the address of the main website?
http://kichiru.ho8.com/nationcorp/
14. If I need help, who should I contact?
You can message this journal or one of the mods (Kiku-mod is online the most frequently)
15. How does the time line work? Does it go by date? What Season is it now?
Have you ever seen a soap opera/DBZ? Well, it kind of goes like that.
eg. Regardless of the fact that a person was held hostage for one day in the show (or Goku only had 5 minutes to get off of the planet Namek) it took a month or two IRL to watch on TV, and as such, Thanksgiving decorations turn to Christmas ones even though the date in the story had not changed by more than a day or two (as you watched all of the sub characters talk for hours).
Basically, the timeline is based off of the events. So if the current event is week 6, all post after that, unless set in the past, would be after week 6. However, the date it is posted is the season we are in. So, it may only be week 20 of the RP that started in March, and it could already skipped to winter weather again. When you post, whatever season it is where you are IRL (winter, fall, etc.) that is the season it is at Nation Corp.
16. I never have anyone to RP with. What should I do?
This is a serious problem and if this is your current situation, please contact a mod.
The best ways to get actively involved in an RP would be to post in the bi-weekly events-- as they are open to everyone and easy to jump into. Also, a very popular and fun way many of our members have chose is to engage in the online Nation Corp. web chat. Found here.
17. How do I tag a log?
At Nation Corp. all tags (for mysterious reasons, really, I don't know) begin with !, so type that in first, and then the countries that are involved in said log!
18. My countries tag is missing/misspelled!
Inform a a mod to have it added/fixed.
19. My country is fanon and just became canon-- what do I do?!
It sounds like it is time for you character to some changes. Sex change optional, but if there is an official name for this new canon character, have your character go down and have it changed/ adopt a new nick name/ etc. and have them go in for a make over at the nearby salon.
If the character becomes majorly official and also has a personality added, even a character profile that is very different from the character you created-- please contact a mod.
20. My country used to be played by another mun... what do I do?
If this is your situation you have a few options. Please consult a mod.
