That would make this tip-toeing around thing interesting for a change.
Still, as is IC and OOC often run toward the void monster. It's not exclusive to either one. I think that is more a behavior problem than a system failure.
I disagree, how often is it we see an OOC match get gobbled by the void monster? I don't see it very often, albeit, I don't see alot of OOC challenges either.
... seems quite doable to me. Both are valid lines of hosting a bijuu. One is not just a badge while the other is legit. To have some who are just zoning champions while others are just RP champions seems a good compromise...
But the latter can't just be RP champions (unless as Trev point out making it next to impossible to be found/ lured into a match, which is practically against the rules, is considered RP) they have to also be able to zone in order to keep the beast.
By not bearing the responsibilities of a tailed beast, sure, the OOC route seems stupidly easier, but not being able to use the beast and then getting killed IC is likely to complicate that route fairly quickly. Does the killer get the trophy? And if so, that seems unfair to the OOC people who may or may not have had been fighting a challenger at the time.
If the mentalities, the players, are the problem, then that is one creek that just can't be waded. A turtle doesn't stop being a turtle if you break open its shell or if you put it in a cage. It's still a turtle, just in a different condition than if it were left alone.
Truth be told, the benefits of the tailed beasts being in the game are outweighed by the harms, especially since the people who hold/go after them seem to be the issue rather than the system. Alas though, the focus here is on adjusting the fights themselves or the rules in order to better clarify things. I for one suggest for more specifity and clarity in places, along with more consistent enforcement of the rules. If that doesn't minimize issues I don't know what will.
