[War_ooc] John gets to thinking.

I agree bout the World Reports. They seem to always cause stress, and be spoken of like a chore. I think, provided people exercise common sense/realism, they can define their own rate of growth, population, approval ratings (obviously if someone keeps saying they're 98% they need to be pulled up on that!).

It's a slow Saturday morning, I have nothing to do, not even anything for WAR, so I've gotten to thinking.
 
Oh, stop hiding.
 
Thrown out ideas:
 
WAR FAQ - the more I think about it, the more I think WAR is best explained by watching posts come in, the WR go out, etc. Put more succinctly, I'm not sure how to go about writing such a FAQ. However, I mention it in case someone wants to take a crack at writing such a thing.

 
Next up, ideas I'm considering:
 
The WR. Bluntly, do we even need a World Report? If we do, how should it be structured? Are there any ways in which we can automate the process (in my dreams only, I know)?
 
Activity requirements - I'm increasingly in favor of this, but it's a decision I want to leave up to you. Should WAR have a formal activity requirement?
 
If we do, I doubt I would enforce it as a hard requirement - more of a "reach this point or be nagged", with only people turning in nothing becoming eligible for removal.
 
Post counts - One thing I'm definitely thinking of borrowing from other sims is posting a weekly or biweekly post count to the OOC list. People, I've found, are naturally competitive, and want to reach the top of that list. Keep in mind though that only public posts would count. Secret Actions would not.

 
Is there anything else that comes to people's minds?
 
One brief thing: Even if you have no plans, no chance of playing a country yet...Your opinions, your help on the OOC side of this endeavor would still be welcome.
