This again? Well if I may quote myself...
I don't think the problem here lies with claims to your own resets, but rather the person who you choose to RP with.
I remember bijuu fights were either In-Character or OCC and this was even before it was agreed upon to make it "officially" IC, but this doesn't necessarily make everything more productive, since now if you worked so much time on your character to get he or she to where they are now; to only have that character die in a IC confrontation.
I would love to ignore it.
But when your intent is to bust up my rp I kind of am forced to acknowledge you and others whom I just do not see as having a valid character build.
I recalled you busted up my RP with Raifudo and I tried to ignored it myself, but it's like you said; you get put in a situation where you are forced to acknowledge that other user, rather then ignore them but I digress from the subject.
I don't consider real-life time is applicable here on Shinobi Legends, since if a gameday equals one real day then in thirty-day month, three months would've passed; meaning that four months is approximately a year within SL's own time.
Naruto was only gone for about...a couple of months to learn SAGE MODE, I don't recall it taking
years to master a perfect Sennin Modo; unless we're speaking of the SOSP's Senjutsu.
Edit; I'm not defending anyone buuuuut if there was a way to stop the power-craze on here, then would it really mean that we would be able to resolve our difference, despite how we Role-Play? Not really.
It's like I always say, "There is always a critic out there."
