^ That is what getting rid of the Bijuu is as an option.
It literally won't solve anything, it'll probably actually cause more problems, if anything, and is the cheapest and easiest way out.
We are not really taking the problem and moving it somewhere else. If the "Death to the Twins" thread is proof of anything, it is proof that we are only removing one of the many problems that we have around here, not merely shoving the issue somewhere else.
Some hosts unwilling to give anyone a fair (an arbitrary and ambiguous term it seems) chance at the beast started this latest arc of "let's get rid of tailed beasts", along with the reaction from certain challengers to it. The tailed beasts should not be as easy as a drop of a coin to obtain, but at the same time, they should not have been as impossible as certain claimed items either to get a even a shot at it.
... Just amend the rules, keep it simple. And anyone who can't seem to deal with conflict nicely and creates a rabid-flamming-personal-hate-filled mess is absolutely denied access/stripped/banned from bijuu participation for 6 months. We need to decrease community sanctioning of such behavior that only further complicates and promotes drama and division over the issue on and off the site...
That's funny, wrong-doing involving RP (especially tailed beasts) often is not challenged around here without a rabid-flaming-personal-hate-filled mess from my experience. I feel I need not bring up examples both recent and in the past of this, but when "good" people do nothing, "evil" people prevail. I put "good" and "evil" in quotes because it is clearly a matter of who's side you're on when it comes to who is right and who is wrong.
...I also notice that not all of the hosts have even voted. I for one will not stand for 'US' making a decision for people who are the most involved without their agreed upon recognition and participation in this process.
It is still early, plenty of time for them to give their input.
I've seen lots of people today that I haven't seen on the forum at all too. So it seems like a lot of people are coming out of the woodwork to void the bijuu. I don't know why. Like I said that seems like the worst option to me because it is the one that will further segregate the community the most. Maybe there is just built up vitriol over the bijuu I didn't experience though...
Let's put this into perspective. Most of the time, the biju are RP'ed either as internal companions or not at all outside of combat. As far as non-combat is concerned, there will be little to no divsion, because the tailed beasts rarely affect other players IC outside of combat.
It is during combat where we have the most problems with people agreeing, and it is during combat where you will indeed see some division. Those who void the biju will void any claims to tailed beast assistance and power (which few rely on anyways nowadays) while those who don't will accept it. Already you have in various camps people who will jump to void and invalidate stuff just because it's against their local view of what is good RP.
Getting rid of the tailed beasts will neither change that nor exasperate that.
...Not only that, but what everyone says on the forums isn't the law of the land. There's plenty of people who are competent RPers that don't ever come to this place...
Last I checked at least 3/4 of the total jinchurikii, since the latest round of rules was brought up to amend the situation, have had forum accounts (regardless of overall forum activity). Therefore it seems reasonable to assume that most of the people who have a stake in the fate of the tailed beasts will trend towards people who at the very least have a forum account and are capable of putting their input into this matter one way or another.
...It is beyond my comprehension to understand or believe that now, that we collectively are so much older and mature than we were when the bijuu were first introduced, that we cannot manage to figure this out without throwing it away altogether...
Kay, you have surely been here long enough to see that we have been trying to figure this out for years now, amendment after amendment, system change after system change. SL RPers wanting to have fun even at the expense of other RPers has fractured the effectiveness each and every single time.
