RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

Rules of the Game (UPDATED 4/3/2014! Updates in Red)

So here are the rules, these are pretty much the same rules as before, however I created a new topic so I can change the rules, and add them when needed.
New Rules are in Red
Rules for this revival in Yellow


General Rules:

- Nations cannot be claimed under your power if someone is already ruling it. It's as simple as that.
- If there are no nations to be claimed, you may do the following: a) post in a league of nations meeting and ask for a new territory for yourself, or b) be the resident of a nation.
- Building on a) from the last point: you can ask for a new territory that is created from: a) a secession from an existing nation, or b) a piece of unorganized territory.
- Unorganized territory can only be claimed during league of nations meetings.
- Meetings shall occur every other day.
- If the nation you want is open to a governmental system where there is more than one leader, you can ask the existing leader for assistance in leadership. Then you must change the nation's topic accordingly.
- If you want to address a nation directly, it must go in its own topic.
- You can't change your country's name until a league of nations meeting.
- You can't update your country more than 40 times per day.
- No Choosing the moon, yes that means you too brainiac.
- No bringing up information from Geography of Wintreath, into the game, unless you are a player who is playing the same nations and player as you are in GoW, in which case you can pass off any information from GoW as a Dream

IF YOU ARE CREATING A NATION:

- Notify me, the mapmaker, through PM. Tell me the location and size of your new nation.
- Create a new topic telling the following details about your new nation:
1. Leader
2. Flag
3. Residents
4. Government system
5. Economic system
6. National anthem

WHAT HAPPENS DURING MEETINGS OF NATIONS:

- We discuss what we do with unorganized territory.
- We discuss the potential creation for new nations, should the subject come up.
- We try to settle disputes between nations.
- We declare war.
- We change our countries' names (if we need to)
- Meetings happen every other day.

Recent Changes:
  • Geography of Wintreath occurs in a desperate universe and as such there is no need for interaction(although dreams can be done, to tell of information from GoW). This *WILL NOT* change in the future (4/3/14)
  • Update rule voided as the way the game is played in this revival is less like Civilization, and more like a giant Roleplay. This *MIGHT*
    change in the future. (11/20/2013)
  • Moon is not a location, this only because of the fact that the moon is not really supposed to be part of the gameplay. This *MIGHT* be changed in the future. (11/07/2013)

oh and also No one has any rights. We're free, rights create invisible restrictions. But we live in a society where the majority accepts rights to be true.
