Sorry I have been away for the past few days and not able to comment on this. I been to drunk to get on here.....
There is no such thing as too drunk to RP/post!
Here, watch me prove that with this post.
This is after all, a game site, not an RP site.
And this is why SL will never really work as an RP site. We all know, it's not built for it.
So what? Clearly that hasn't stopped anybody. Kirk's been here easily as long as I have, probably longer. He's been RPing ever since I first showed up.
I don't like saying "Oh SL doesn't work for RP because it's a game site" because it has "worked" (used loosely) for a lot of people for a long time. In fact, there was a point when SL was amazing for RP.
But something happened.
Back when SL rocked, there was no Rinnegan, Mokuton, Sage Mode, Jiongu, LRA, FTG, Yin Seal, Edo Tensei (save for Oro's single usage against the third, but nobody claimed to be able to use it), etc.
The game didn't get broken, the manga did and the game broke as a result of that.
So what does this mean in terms of the rules?
It means that people can now get ridiculously powerful. So powerful that they can be the undisputed Kyūbi host until they give it away. There are people who can literally be called unbeatable because of what their characters can do.
Which pisses me off.
Why can't I claim Fūinjutsu Speciality, an OP Summoning Contract, Shikotsumyaku Speciality, Uchiha Grand Mastery, Senju Grand Mastery, Sage Mode Mastery, Hirashin and Kekkai Speciality? I know that's my dream character, because then I could go kill Zenaku.
But my personal vendetta aside,
I think we should stop talking and take a vote. Can forums do something like that? Talk is cheap, but if we actually make an affirmation that SOMETHING needs to change on the site, then we can find out if the majority or RPers (not just you "big dogs" of the site, but everybody) actually want this. What about all the people who don't use the forum? How is this sudden decision to change the rules of SL fair to them?
The last thing I want to mention is one technique that need to be
BANNED.
I hate LRA. It's so broken. What downside does it have? It's like a susanoo for anyone who has a raiton affinity and it gives you lotus-like speed. The only thing faster is FTG, and Naruto's plot-armor.
Wtf, no.
Did you know that even Susanoo has a weakness? Yup, it consumes the user's life. So if you spam it, you die.
How many people on SL have died from overuse of Susanoo?
Zero.
How many people should be dead from overuse of Susanoo?
I couldn't count them all.
So LRA is busted, you can't argue against that.
Yeeeaaah, I just realized this became a drunken, off-topic rant. But eff it, I'm gonna post it anyways because I put a lot of thought into it.
