<-- Crickets!
edit:
Forgot to care about the thread; just saw 'summonings' and decided to post mine.
Any how:
A tournament for summoning contracts.. no. I mean, I understand where you're coming from, "Chika", but, as you have said, this is really unneeded. You can't prevent people from claiming your things -- as it is, you can't even guarantee someone's RP-background doesn't include that certain summoning. What if it's a direct essence to their character? Who are we to deny that person something they worked hard on simply because we want it for ourselves? I mean, as it is, right now, everything is a claim fest. The moment something new comes out in the anime/manga is the moment someone claims it as first and snarls at the second person like a rabid hound.
This game has been around for many years, and so have many of the people within it -- that said, I've seen summoners come and go, old summons brought back up and, etc. happen. Not something one needs to control nor can control, for that matter.
Lastly, Yumei's site, as forsaken as it is by the majority of people, does show a bit of bias in it; I can't really say much as, just about, everything does. But, in short, I point that out in my offense against this to say: what if the person with that contract doesn't want to *share*? Who's going to make them do it? What if someone else wants it? Etc. What if someone who has ties with the site claims something after someone sort-of unknown does? They'll believe the site over the person because of credibility. Such as the fact that lots of people say they have Totsuka blade, but Yumei states that Mioku (last time I checked) had it. Zyeta had it before him; did Zyeta just give it to him? And, even if he did, what about when something else new (overpowered.jpg) comes out? Do we message Yumei as a first-come first-serve or can he choose? Etc.
