Yeah, exactly what it says on the tin. If there's something you want to do or see, just ask! I'll see what I can do 
For example, this idea has been nagging at me for far too long:
RPs in different time periods. Yup, I've tried this before. This either might increase activity by RPing different stuff at the same time, or make it confusing. I'll go and make a rule that stuff happening in previous timelines shouldn't drastically alter your nation in later RP timelines. For example, here's a short history of my idea of a FT (future-tech) CIW:
In the year 2XXX (dunno what the X's are gonna be), the CIW was impacted by a mysterious meteorite composed of an alien crystal. It was named Tiberium, after its discoverer Tiberius. Tiberium was a rare and valuable crystal that, despite severely terraforming the surrounding area, made the CIW an exceptionally economically powerful nation due to its contained growing and selling of Tiberium crystals. However, a militant group known calling themselves Brotherhood of the Black Hand led by a mysterious, messianic individual (name pending), stepped forth to oppose the CIW. The Brotherhood believed Tiberium was the path to salvation, and believed it should be spread among the world. The CIW engaged the mysterious Brotherhood in an extended, horrific civil war, that, through use of the Brotherhood's Tiberium weaponry, devastated large areas of the country. Before the crystal could spread beyond the CIW borders however, scientists discovered the resonant frequency of the crystal, and this was quickly converted into military uses. The CIW decisively beat back the Brotherhood in what would later become the end of the so-called Tiberium Civil War. Though the crystal was able to be contained, it was never effectively eliminated. Large portions of the CIW countryside, though thankfully devoid of Tiberium, left most of the country barren. The Tiberium Civil War also brought immense changes to the CIW forces and doctrines. While the country retains its naval advantage, the ground forces are centered around the concept of armored warfare. The CIW ground forces focus on heavy armor at the cost of speed. Troops are equipped usually with composite armor, sometimes leftover Tiberium field suits instead. Power armor is also issued to more elite forces. CIW armor is pragmatic, featuring only tracked vehicles, with their super-heavy tanks, equipped with two railguns and missile pods and big enough to crush other tanks (which needs a name), being symbolic of their army. Adaptive armor that is resistant against EMP attacks. Railgun and sonic technology are widely used among all CIW armed forces branches. CIW aircraft follow a similar trend, slowly being equipped with new ceramic armor.
Interesting? The other time period I was considering was medieval times, but if someone wants a different time period entirely (or set in space), I'd like to hear it.
Sports RPs are apparently common on the NS forums as well. We could try some of them, if people are interested.
Cheers,
