Feature Requests / Dice rolls

« on: January 25, 2015, 06:15:46 PM »

I was thinking about the differences between here and most tabletop RPGs, and I realized the clear difference. Here, when people are RPing, they just say whatever they want and people respond unnaturally. Things like god-modding and meta-gaming are buzzwords that are thrown around here often. In order to solve these issues, why not implement a dice rolling function?
That way when NinjaA says 'I attack you with my super-ultimate, undodgeable jutsu' and rolls a 1 while NinjaB rolls a 20 they respond accordingly. Of course, this does not need to be used, but if two people agree to use it then they can be able to. I don't know if you would go with a D20, a D6, a D4, or D#, but it might help out to add fairness to the game.

Spam / Do you listen to music while you exercise?

If so, post examples of what you listen to.
Doesn't matter if it's from video games or regular music. No judging other people's songs negatively. Contribute if you have any.

Spam / Manga/Anime you enjoy

Being on this site, we know that everyone at least reads/enjoys Naruto. But, what other manga does everyone read or anime does everyone watch?

Naruto / Your favorite heros and why

« on: January 18, 2015, 04:15:33 AM »

Like the sister thread I made, this time just post your favorite good guy in the series and post a little bit why.

I'll start by saying my favorite good guy is Shino. Even though he never really had any major roles in the series, he was still my favorite. He had really interesting abilites and was basically a mix of Gaara and Shikimaru who used bugs. Unfortunately, he never really had a chance to shine outside of filler. Even in the final chapter, we see that he just ends up being a teacher for the academy students. Despite all this, he and his clan still remain my favorites.

Naruto / Your favorite Naruto villain and why

« on: January 18, 2015, 03:42:13 AM »

Just a fun little topic to see who likes which villains and why. I'll make a sister topic to go with this about the good guys too.

I'll start with saying my favorite bad guy is Kakuzu. The reason why was because of his extremly unique abilities. The whole taking the hearts of others in order to have a larger access to abilities was really cool. The whole tendril aspect of him was also pretty neat and made him seem like a real monster. Not only that, he seemed to not really be an evil guy, he was just in the business for the money. I wasn't too happy with how he was taken out considering he was 91 years old and probably had an extremely large amount of experience, but the manga is called Naruto and he served as a way to show off the rasenshuriken.

Game Related Discussions / How do you make a page on the wikia?

« on: January 17, 2015, 04:38:31 PM »

I'm trying to go through this game the right way as far as RP goes. But I have legitimately no idea how to navigate the wikia and build a new page. Is there anyone who would be able to help me out or possible link me a tutorial on how to use it?

Naruto / Last Naruto movie, not really last.

Don't know how accurate this info is considering that it's a wikia, but another movie is scheduled to come out this year. That with the continuation of the manga as a miniseries this year around spring shows that Naruto as a series still has some life left in it.

Village Square / Comments from a newbie

« on: January 16, 2015, 05:46:14 PM »

I'm making this topic here, because it does have to do with RP. Now, let me just start by saying this. There are problems with this game and we can all see them. I haven't been here long, but they're painfully obvious to me. The game itself, RP-wise, seems pretty good but unfortunately is pretty dead. But when you come to the forums, it's pretty active even though it's just a few people but it's a crazy mess with all the politics and issues. But how do we fix these issues?

For the forum, I'm a little unsure on how to fix it because people would just have to get along. But, why not extend an invitation out to the new players by putting reminders in the MotD? That's something that pops up universally for all players. I didn't even really know about the forums until I accidentally opened them while I was in the graveyard. It didn't really appeal to me before them so I never bothered clicking on it.

Another quick thing. The lack of MotDs. Last one was when the santa Neji event was turned off and because I don't know how to look back at the MotDs, I don't know when the one prior to the Santa Neji alert was. The lack of MotDs is a good indicator of freshness of this site. Even if the MotD is something simple like "If you want to get more familiar with the people playing, why not visit the forums?" or an inspiring quote/joke or something. Just something more often than once a month or more. Another issue is the staleness of the site, but that can only be fixed by introducing more players.

Another issue is the RP aspect of this game. I'll use an example from my actual life in this one. A while ago, I was stuck in the barracks because of crappy weather and a couple of nerdy guys in our company invited me to play Dungeons and Dragons with them. I figured since I already worked out and there was nothing to do with this weather, why not. I had never played it before, and never played it again, but I had fun. We had a crew of a Paladin, a giant dwarf, a middle-aged Japanese businessman who fell into a toilet wormhole, and a sentient bike. The thing was that we had fun, and a lot of it. We had a good game master and let the dice rolls control our fate. What I believe might be lacking here is the lack of creative freedom. That is unfortunately the nature of the site with it being based off Naruto, but why not extend those borders a little bit?
If someone wants to be something like a shinigami from Bleach, a mage from Fairy Tale, or a lizardman like Reptile from Mortal Kombat, why not let them? So long as they apply the Naruto rules, it should be alright. Example, the mages from FT. Each one has a gimmick, and can't really do much else besides that gimmick. If they follow those same rules and don't do a myriad of abilities, why wouldn't that be fair? If they chose to not have chakra and just use magic, then they close themselves off to the ability to use ninja skills. So long as characters aren't running around spraying Spirit Bombs everywhere, why not let people RP as what they want to RP as instead of restricting them. That might also help keep the newer players from leaving and make them feel more welcome when RPing.

That's the end of my rant. TL;DR, Game's stale. Forums are a mess. RP is too restricted. We need more people to come here and join in the game. Have more activity from the person in charge through MotDs. Let more creative freedom be allowed. We need to make the game more fun.

Character Profiles / Becquerel

« on: January 16, 2015, 05:03:59 AM »

Name: Becquerel

Wiki Page: http://narutoprofile.wikia.com/wiki/Becquerel

Appearance: Usually seen wearing a pair of cargo shorts and a plain t-shirt of a lighter color. His broad shoulders and large frame are an indicator of his physical strength. He always keeps his hair shaved, keeping his head bald.

Affiliations: None

Brief background: He has recently appeared, almost seemingly from nowhere. He is frequently seen traveling through the streets of Konoha or the streets of Suna either just browsing the current going-ons or gathering information. When he is not out in the cities, he spends time within the lab he inherited which is in a secret location.

Personality: He is very approachable, but does not seek out attention. He will gladly strike up a conversation with anyone who requests one and rarely turns people away if they ask him for help. Though he is willing to help people, he does not go out of his way to help them and will not attempt to stop someone if they are conducting 'evil' actions unless it is directly related to him. He is a passive observer.

Hobby: He is a man of science. Using the lab he inherited, he has access to a large variety of tools and inventions but is often making new ones depending on what he needs. The actual contents of his lab are also secret and only to be revealed to those that he grants access.

RP: Always open to RP, whether it's in the zones, the cities, or in PM. Everything is in character when in the the cities and zones, and is usually in character in PMs unless otherwise specified.

Unique info: Byakugan is relatively useless on him. If someone with the byakugan were to look at him while using it, he would appear similar to a stone or other inanimate object as if he was completely lacking chakra. For someone using the sharingan, they would not be able to use any ocular or other genjutsu on him due to his lack of chakra. The reason for these things are currently secret and will have to be revealed through RP.

Everything else is currently classified and will be revealed through RP to the players and will be updated as it is revealed.

OOC: I really have no idea how to navigate the SL wikia when it comes to making a page. I'm a bit computer illiterate when it comes to things like that.
