Tbh participating in Stuff organized by other users is usually pretty much hit or miss and often organization tends to be a mess; especially getting ppl to pick countries (and then actually join as the right country)
also: favoritism is kinda to be expected when mods are the ones to decide who gets what country; nobody would want Radomdude0815 picking country X when their friend/someone they know is requesting it ... cuz y'know they're only human after all
so yeah unless they're already really really established in terms of RPs it tends to be a pretty messy affair
tbh that sounds to me more like a mix of an arbitrary reason to refuse ppl + a way of stroking your own egos; not to mention how silly a "rating" is to determine who gets to pick his country... you're pretty much creating a vicious cycle cuz the "good" players get a higher chance of countries that they deem "good" or are comfortable with while the "bad" players get stuck with the leftovers
In that regard i'd pretty much recommend sticking to stuff organized by ppl who are somewhat established within the community (i think cptamerica was it that was somewhat renown for his RPs? but tbh im not thaaat much in touch with the RP scene).
Another option would be to simply socialize more and thus bend the favoritism more in your favor if ppl know you they're more likely to listen to anything you say then when youre just the RandomDude0815
pretty much what i already said: If nobody knows you then the chance of them giving a single fuck about what youre suggesting is pretty low...unless the idea is really really interesting/appealing to a lot of ppl
and lets be honest: just because you think its a great idea and ppl should give you feedback on it doesnt prevent other ppl from deeming it random bullshit not worth a single thought
I think i already said that earlier but I'll just say it again: who gets what country + them also actually picking the country are already insanely complicated tasks; simply cuz it requires whoever is running the game to A: keep track of who wants what country and B: devise some way to determine who actually gets what country ... and then also get them to actually pick their country (the chance that really everyone actually picks the country they're assigned to is almost nonexistant)
welcome to the cesspool that private discord severs can devolve into

The Discord server had a channel that was specific for submitting suggestion about the gameplay, tech tree, etc. I submitted a #suggestions following the suggestions chat rules/format that they had created and never heard back about it...
A player that seems to be known in the community submitted a suggestion also and got addressed like right away. I contacted the Main Admin of the server about this, and even after that my suggestion was never approved/denied/replied to.

After all the Country Applications mess referenced before, I was offered to join the game as Poland. I accepted the offer and started preparing the RP but some days later I check the server and find out that the same Moderator that offered me to take Poland had assigned that nation to someone else!
Tell me, is this not a clear message of “I don't want you here” after the 3 points stated above?
I contacted the main game admin again, he was cool during the conversation but managed to resolve nothing. Once again, am the new guy that doesn’t matter.

. Every time I logged into the RP server I find either drama, insults between players or non-CoN related stuff going on... If I wanted to talk about Taylor Swift or Hunger Games I would search a group about that.
