... It may take a while, but it is a lot better then doings things OOC.
I completely and utterly disagree with you on this. More in detail later in my post on why.
While my example was extreme, I was pointing something out. It's called interpretation Trev...
http://forum.shinobilegends.com/index.php/topic,8015.0.htmlWe could get rid of the biju altogether and solve it once and for all.
But that is too radical. Let's instead come up with some more rules that will indefinitely have interpretation issues and loop us right back to where we started.
We are not back to where we started ,yet but we're getting there.
... Personally I would void the IC hunt option, biju stuff is already confusing enough with so many arguments of challenges. Why add something complicated like IC hunts that typically involved whole villages arguing, hunters using cheap tactics, cause the jinchs keep their host status top secret. It was suppose to be people do what Kage suggested as a guideline, and leave every two weeks, but that doesn't happen.
It really shouldn't be an issue since you should just make the challenge IC...
Now hold on, these challenges are supposed to be entirely OOC, including the actually challenging part. If RP is at all included in this, then issues of the recent sort are almost bound to arrive...
I recall the Temple RP with Warren and myself being hunted. Anyone who has forgotten or simply was not present can either use the search function or ask someone who was there, but long story short, one of the issues was how the aforementioned hosts were even found in the first place.
OOC fights for the tailed beasts are simpler, less complicated, and usually produce less player on player fighting and bickering. Almost everytime the tailed beast has been involveld in RP it has only brought about more and more issues in RP, leading to issues out of character that would loop back to issues of RP because of the price of letting the wrong issue(s) slide in a serious RP.
OOC fights with an ultimate judge, from my experience, just plain work better. More clear cut, less purple and red tape. Send to the icy bowels of the Shades the hunt RP because a quarter of the time (especially as of late) not even that portion of the challenge has been completed due to conflicting RP issues.
I have noticed that more and more people are doing ic hunt with their beast. Thats all good but where do we draw the line with refusing peoples rp who come to get the beast? Like could one turn down or void an rp if said person was wrong about a small detail?
Ex. Pam uses the telescope tech to find the 35 tails Pam states seeing or maybe seeing a fence. Yugi is the host and said that the fence was taken down and is no longer there. Should yugi be able to void pams rp just because there was no fence?
If the fence was critical (or even important) to finding the 35 tails, then yes. If not, then no, that void is just plain excessive.
If I remember right a bit of the Biju's chakra is left behind in every Jinch whenever they are split from the beast, right?
That's the way it seems to work in the canon, and since this thread exists:
http://forum.shinobilegends.com/index.php/topic,7936.0.htmlIt has also existed in SL for quite awhile and is nothing new among forum discussion. Because it was around before this rule could be enforced really at all, the retention of tailed beast chakra in former hosts has been one of those things overlooked, though it IS technically against the rule:
Tampering with the Biju, meaning: destroying it, editing its affinity, parting its powers into multiple entities, etc. & anything that changes it is prohibited.
By the definition of "power", the tailed beast's chakra falls under powers, so yes, making clones or sealsl with a portion of tailed beast chakra is also against the rule if you want to be hardcore on the semantics.
The intention of the rule, however, was to prevent a Minato-style split-up of tailed beasts to the point where there are multiple hosts (more psuedo-jinchs than actual jinchs). Combined with the impracticality of trying to force all of the previous hosts to give up that token of their power acquisition, even for our experts from Hasbro, only in that Minato case has the rule, to my recollection, really been enforced.
