Overall, I am looking at the thread which a host keeps, as being a catch all of information.
They could provide a short bio, which would provide a resume of sorts for skills and abilities.
They would contain a preference list, with the understanding that these do not negate the official bijuu rules: is - Well I prefer to take 6 weeks for a grace period...uhm, no.
They would contain a challenge list for OOC matches, current hunters for IC hunts, and an activity log to prove the activity clause is being met. They would contain notifications of challenge by prospective contestants, notifications of who is up next on the roster. That acknowledgement that notification has been received that you mentioned elsewhere in the discussion. They could contain number of tails mastered and notifications of intended absences. They could also contain notification of training sessions...
ex: between matches...I am taking 3 days off to heal and commune with my beast.
anyway, the preference list is just one post of information contained in the host thread. some bits would be required, others would be optional. Shoot, they could contain recipes for their host's favorite ramen.
Also Eric, I forget where the question was asked, but I referred to something as idle time. And you questioned what was the point of that? When I said idle time, I meant--the time in which a host is not actively defending his beast. And there will be times this occurs. not all beasts even have people on their challenge lists. But during that time, when they are not engaged in combat for the beast, they are idle from their commitment, so to speak...and must still maintain activity with an rp post every 14 days minimum.
I also had a typo somewhere and spelled stripped as striped? It might actually be fun to stripe a host for offences. Like with a whip? But that might be stretching things...
