Does make me wonder what people think this next 'something' people'd fight over would be. On the fly I can't really think of much anything unique besides SSM swords, and even out of those its largely just samehada's fusion nonsense that couldn't be replicated with relative ease.
Sword of Kusanagi, Yata mirror, Samehada, Edo tensei, Summons, Clan ranks, custom stuff that imitates any of the previously mentioned Items
I could go on for ever.
You can literally ignore anybody's claims to 1/3rd of that stuff (Yata mirror, custom stuff that imitates previously mentioned items, summons, and clan ranks) without anyone but the RPer who has it (and a few of their associates) getting too upset over it.
I agree with your earlier sentiment that people are problematic, but people can be ignored. Issues compound with bad reception when the issues can't just be shoved aside (biju, the
only thing in this entire SL game that most forum goers as a whole have not voided/worked out at will/convenience). Edo Tensei, hiraishin, techniques don't even get all that heated anymore (even then they were far less frequent in occurence).
Other than character death, there is no other issue I am aware of besides biju (and RP involving it) that swirls such a negative stir around here. Not even when Zenaku was around to pretty much lord over the beasts and swat his lessers in zone fighting.
I just find this entire poll to be hilariously idiotic due to the number of people who have argued vociferously to be rid of the Bijuu when, they do not Rp with the general public, haven't played SL in a number of years, have never been apart of the Bijuu affairs, and now come out of the woodwork and are rallying for a change that literally has no effect on them. Like honestly, some of these votes need to be reconsidered and then made null.
Oh I know I'm going to grab some heat here for this, and for those of you who know I'm speaking of you in this post, crawl back into the corners of obscurity where you belong and please leave the things that so many people hold precious alone.
Not that I agree anyone should be returning to a hovel of obscurity, but I would not doubt that there are those on the other side of the coin (amend the rules) who fall in that same boat.
Honestly, It is really difficult to explain why this is just a stupid idea when people have no intention of listening to an opinion that does not cater to their ideals, but I’m gonna give it a shot.
First off, getting rid of Biju is unfair for those who have spent significant amounts of time fighting just to get a chance at earning a beast. This is a painstakingly long process that most of us have had to go through, and to throw it away is literally a slap in our faces...
And it's a slap in the face of the caring lot when those who want the biju around still cannot stand higher than the pedastal they put the beasts on. Some hunters and hosts alike have been guilty of being crap at being civil, but most importantly, at actually setting aside whatever to actually keep a RP moving. Without getting out of hand, it's painful having to actually moderate a discussion getting out of hand, or even contribute when, as you have said before, the two sides are adamant about not giving ground on absolutely anything.
In my case at least, I'm sick of the crap coming from those who want to keep the beasts, but are doing everything possible to make keeping them a living hell (for those trying to hunt them usually, but hunters have been pretty obnoxious too) for all who suffer the misfortune of wanting to see the conflict resolved.
The idea that anything will be fought over as hard as the tailed beasts when everything else can be copied into oblivion with custom techs to me is unimaginable.
