So here's the thing a large group of people are unsatisfied with the way things are going in an online RP I've been in for about 6 months. The big problem, no rules. Yep not even a mod. So after talking about this the majority came to the realization we needed to rework the system.-(Well make a system) I being the only one with any work ethic was nominated to build a system from scratch and balance it. So . . . any help in designing , fleshing out, and balancing this would be well appreciated :smallbiggrin: . What I already have is below.

Playing the Game-Point Development and Conflict Resolution
Peace Time Point Development-Every IRL month if a player was at peace and pursuing growth they gain an NP which may be spent to advance in any category. They may also gamble the NP by rolling 1d20 to advance in some category like so 1d20 after counting in 1/5 or the player's bonuses in that category if they are at 20 or above they advance in that category and keep the NP. If they are not at 20 or above they lose the point and do not get the bonus advancement .
War Time Point Development-If nations go to war they forfeit the chance to gain peace time points but if they gain "victory" over the nation they went to war with they gain a number of points equal to half the number that the opposing nation lost.
Conflict- A nation at war with another nation rolls 1d20 like so 1d20 with bonuses and penalties applied against the other nation who does the same thing Ex: Spies vs Surveillance
