I suppose I could ask something now that bothers me, after reading Kayenta's post.
We are free to roleplay as we wish; we do not have to obey your rules, as you say Raifudo. However you also say if we claim a canon item, then we have no choice but to obey your rules. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.
But the way I see that, it tells me 'You are free to roleplay as I wish'.
Pretty much, yeah. Considering someone of your caliber of imagination is very skilled in using custom things in replacement for their resets (I.E. your sharingan is "Heightened Reflexes" or something of the sort). I don't see why you'd go about trying to claim something like the Gedo or a bijuu.
I mean, the basis - to me - is simple: build an atmosphere both parties can live in by appealing to both parties. The way to do so? Rules and regulations for one party to follow in a more strict and guide-lined (yes, guide-lined is there again and I'll explain why shortly) manner, and another atmosphere where I dare not tread as to not affect what has been established by others before.
Now as far as "guide lined", I keep saying it and with proper reason; it's a principle. A fundamental establishing for a system that can justify one's behavior or reasoning. You have one too, I suppose. Those yours is more on the basis of "Use your wildest imaginations and make them a reality for you. Enjoy everything you can make of your ideas and put them to use." Mine is more of a... "if you want something, fight and earn it."
It's probably my Spanish blood that gives me that infamously stubborn and arrogant attitude that so many people hate as much as others love.
Back to "guideline." A guideline is a statement used to determine a state of action. Kayenta, please forgive me for using you on this one, but I figure using you, you can help me clarify much more since you're here -- Demon Child TanarriNayeli. Now, we've had many people attack and regulate Bocchiere's inability to die for being a Jashin, that much is certain. Even though the show showed that's how the worshiping worked, we still had issues with it. Now, TN (I'm going to abbreviate her name for the sake of imminent carpal tunnel) is on the same boat in some cases.

The difference between TN and Bo? Bo loves to claim many things. It's his hobby. He's like the assassin bug (for those of you who love learning like I do:
http://us.gizmodo.com/5908188/unbelievable-assassin-bug-wears-its-victims-corpses-as-armor). Once he beats someone, he takes something of them to better himself even more, which is understandable.
My point: Here we have two separate individuals from two separate atmospheres. TN, from a more lenient structure that proposes using your imagination more and also advocating the use of custom things, and Bo, from a more strict area of the site that has set boundaries and rules for the things he has on him.
Now, Kay, you've also said you didn't want to RP with Bo (really, not many people do, so no one blames you at all); but why is that? Is it because of his claim-fest of things? Is it because he's an
assassin bug? That after he beats someone for their things, he proudly boasts about his victory? I recall you have many issues with the things he's done, though in his defense (with your principles), he's free to do just that. He's free to go about and make those claims (and even more) because no one should be regulating him or preventing him from RP.
You want historical references? M'kay. I can do that: Segregation. I'm doing it right now to please both parties, you're doing it to protect yourself from his attitude.
I am not fighting Bocc for anything or EVER going to rp with him knowingly.
Segregation!
"The action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things or being set apart."
Would you accept him if he toned down all that he claimed? Would you accept him if he stopped fighting people and following your principle of wanting to better himself and get stronger? If we REGULATE him and GUIDE him into a more appealing individual?
Though, this catches my eye:
~No auto hitting
~No attacks on an entry post
~No auto exiting
~No endless supply of actions during your turn
~No Character controlling
~No metagaming
Nowhere there does it say "no endless amounts of claims", "no claiming immortality", "no claiming something else someone else has without permission", or anything of the sort. So, in all fairness, Bo is in the right. And on the basis of your own mentality, you have no reason not to RP with him besides his attitude (which stems from the things he has and how much we're trying to regulate them).
Now, as far as being the "elite group" you say we are, how are we so? You keep saying it, but I don't understand (sorry!) what makes us that. Because we make regulations for an RP we prefer? I mean, I don't even RP anymore. I haven't in months. That was one day that I did, when I finally acted out my "release", and then something ruined it -- I don't remember what it was. Before that, it was more months that went by. I haven't zoned in ages and people know this of me. So, am I elite because I'm helping people make decisions on an RP that doesn't even influence me? I gain no benefit from doing so. I'm happily content not RP'ing. I lurk around like one of those alley kittens that likes to cause mischief.
(Though, I am much more cuter.)
God, I'm so annoying. I should be a lawyer.
You know, how about we just stick to this: If you want a canon item, seek out the person and fight them. Even if it means to attack a village in the process. That should spark some activity here and there. As for Missing-Nin, well they're pretty much regarded as rogues and criminals if they're unaligned to any village.
What are your thoughts on this?
It's what we do now, sir.
