Say, here's an idea. How about we challenge for the title of Shinobi Legend? The winner can be an immortal edo tensei that can't be sealed and has all of the bloodlines and items to ever exist.
Y'know, ages ago, back when SL was active and always had at least 60-70 people on at a given time, people didn't care about having the best of the best or hell, even the Sharingan.
In fact, a good number of people did what I like to call, being creative, and created their own bloodlines and balanced out their own jutsus and techniques accordingly. The bijuu weren't claimed, canon items didn't exist on a grand scale like they do now, and everything was just peachy.
And then someone decided having bijuu would be a good idea. And look at how things are now.
I've watched five academy students join and quit SL in the two weeks I've been back, strictly because of the state of the roleplay as it is now. Iwagakure doesn't exist, it's Bocchieregakure because it consists of nothing but Bocchiere and his alts. Constant threats of 'You have this item? I'm gunning for you then' are being made, and rather the fact they are inactive and thus, hoarding said item so taking it away from them with Bijuu-esk rules makes sense or not, it also doesn't.
Can someone show me someone who cares? Someone, that can honestly say that this is a good idea, where hey, you could be roleplaying, but no, you have this item, I'm challenging you for it, too eff-ing bad exists? I don't want to seem aggressive or anything, but this is just excessive. For the past two days that these rules have been placed, I've seen two challenges immediately made by Bocchiere for Mioku's sword, and Shima's Kabutowari, two swords capable of sealing anything and breaking any defense respectively.
And now talk of challenging for the Mazo is showing up.
