sounds good. so...
Is it to be the old list of rules as is or do edits need to be made?
I like these from the new list of rules too..
◾Jinchūriki have an obligation to be active, and are stripped of their bijū if they cannot get online and do their round (1 post in public a fortnight), regardless of the reason. The leader of their clan will inherit the bijū; if the jinchūriki wasn't in a clan, then a tournament/event can be arranged to determine a suitable host.
HOWEVER...one post every two week? shoot me now. No less than one a week please? if you can't manage that then you are not able to meet the demands of being a host. Perhaps you will get free time later on? well make a new challenge once you are free but let life go on for the rest of us.
I think these are nice too.
◾Unless a jinchūriki has outstanding life force (from being either an Uzumaki, having Wood Release or from being downright immortal), they will die when stripped of their bijū. Else they will be left in a crippled state.
◾Tailed beasts must be sealed within a jinchuriki within a week of capture.
Kirk made a point somewhere once that if this fight is challenge due to OOC match ups, then why rp the sealing at all? I think that aspect should be up to the host cause RP might be important to them. However...see it is timely.
Two weeks had been the limit out of reasonablness, we had agreed on that back then. One week seem to be cutting it a bit short, but considering that the biju fights are OOC anyways, I guess one week is not that shallow.
Dying when being stripped of the biju, even in an OOC challenge? Well shoot, no wonder someone would want the fight to be to the death, if you lose, you're very likely to die anyways, as even with outstanding life force you would eventually die anyways (maybe not as fast, but you would die yet still).
I actually vote that losing the challenge (or being stripped for whatever reason) does not kill the host automatically. It will decrease the incentive to hang onto the beast for dear life, at least in my opinion, which might reduce some nastiness that comes along with fighting for dear life. We have seen by now how even normally decent people get extremely on edge when their character's life is in mortal danger. At least this way, if life does get the better of you, you can more willingly hand off the beast without worrying about dying because you got too busy in RL.
Personally, I would rather keep my list either here on the forum or SLS, simply due to famaliarity. If required to use the wikia though, I would just attached it to the bottom of my character profile rather than creating a new thread on the forum, and then just link it both at the top of the profile and on my SL bio page.
And how about tailed beast must be sealed immediately upon victory? I mean, we are not talking about IC sealing here, I'm talking, you win, you become host after the last post. No wait time before you become host in order to delay the grace period, no RP even for sealing the beast. Just make the whole thing OOC and get it over with. That away, once you get out of the RP that you are in, you can get you tailed beast powers and be like, "I have been graced by my victory in so-so land, since the old host is dead you know you know."
People have to join the 21st century sometime.
What about the people who hate the internet?
They can just pm the old fashioned way and get info direct from the hosts I suppose. It seems reasonable to have a more efficient means of verifying publicly that a host even has a list of challengers by some means. As long as it isn't vandalized by tricksters it should be pretty reliable.
Folks who hate the internet would not be a factor here, because they wouldn't even be able to get onto SL.
Just had to put that joke in there for relax factor before continuing.
If we are going to go with the wikia forum thing, why not just have the invitation be replies to the main post? Undeniable and convenient proof that indeed you challenged the host a certain number of times, and that their denial is evident to all that you were not added to the list. Whatever mod exists on there can notice shenanigans, but it's a suggestion.
Please remove "other hosts" and "onlookers" from those who may support the arguments of either side. One reliable (activity-wise) judge to rule the entire thing.
If god-modding occurs, the opposing party "May" object. If they don't object, then that is their business, and discussion may occur after that.
"Hosts are allowed to use thier tails" section seems like a subsection of "Rules" rather than a separate thing to discuss. But that's just me.
Since there is a challenger list, should waiting challengers get any sort of dibs on the tailed beast? I know it's abusable, but throwing that out there, as I don't like the idea of the clan/organization getting it anymore. It used to be cool, but then entire organizations/clans could be just as inactive or unable to host it. Toss it up to a tourney of the challengers would probably run smoother.
What does the "one round" of activity count for anymore, I have to ask? Before the host had to leave the village, but now, is it just some post in public in order to prove that they are around? That's the gist I am getting, but just want to clarify for reference.
The last thing we have to do before these rules go into effect is to gather the jinchs (half of them being Akatsuki) and have them either agree to the rules or at least put in their input on how to change it to better fill the role. Incomplete biju challenge list from those who didn't even participate in the debate are going to be a problem if this is not brought 'round the table.
