points of clarity which I would like to see addressed.
1] rules for inactivity being voted in. I recall a discussion we had about making that a thing, about editing out claims from the wikia and as I recall I said that I didn't want people's claims just deleted for all eternity.
2] what is inactivity? The SSM are all still active. Not one of them has been deleted for failure to be on SL. And they are the ones charged with testing for new members and dishing out the swords. I saw it written that Gitsune was taking the sealed swords out and using them in sparing matches. But I read Bocc saying that he was not going to let her use that as a loop hole to get away with this. Well...uh, if the auxiliary using the swords of the SSM is not activity, pending the testing of competent swordsmen to fill their ranks, then what is? Oh but Bocc just gets to decide this is NOT activity. He is not going to let them get away with this. I am sorry but being admin of the wikia doesn't make you judge and jury of SL and what's going on in our RP! Yumei, the creator of the wikia sure as hell never got away with that crap. what makes you think you will? Or even should? This is NOT the purpose of the wikia.
WHEN DID WE EVER VOTE THAT THE WIKIA WOULD BE ANY AUTHORITY OVER OUR RP?2.5] What is activity? The SSM swords belong to that elite group. They are not inactive. As long as activity exists within the SSM then their possessions are still claimed by them. That the seven swords are not awarded to individual seven swordsmens is moot. There was a time when multiple swords were claimed by one or two of the swordsmen, leaving active swordsmen without any sword at all. No one threw a fit about that. And I was one of those without a sword...Shima Umioso...for quite a long time until Cmage finally gave me the Kabutowari. Active swordsmen using their elite force weapons. Who cares if they are evenly distributed among seven people? I can tell you who. People who do not want to earn the swords through the process laid out of creating a Kiri nin, applying to be tested, and earning a seat and a sword. Whose fault is it the SSM do not have seven warriors? Everyone who did not try out for the position and actively seek out this goal to its completion, that's who!
3] The rules for how the swords are handled have been in place since 2010, as per the SSM site. WAY before this wikia was even created. Now why then do those not part of that elite group have say so over how they are handling their organization? Hell, their own Mizukage doesn't even have ruler-ship over how they pick and choose their members or who gets what sword. And yet some admin on a wikia for record keeping does? Please...
4] I applaud the point that those who made these so called rules for everyone to follow are the ones benefiting from the theft of the swords. Corruption in a nut shell.
5] As for rping their recovery, when was their theft rp'd?
6] the basis of this decision seems to be a vendetta against Kiri for not bowing down to the attacks made upon them for items of power. The bijuu. And the behavior associated with that whole debacle resulted in the Kiri hosts just giving the bijuu away so as to no longer have to deal with the drama.
7] Given that Kiri has already given over on the bijuu, why then now must they give over on their 6 year old organization just because the drama is starting all over again? Isn't it enough that the bijuu were trolled away from them but now you have to tear down the SSM too? Why did you come back? You have been quoted on numerous occasions of having the agenda to come here and tear down as much as you could. For Pete's sake, take up cooking or knitting instead. You seriously need a new hobby in life.
I say enough is enough and those who are not getting their way...as Kiri has been accused of...in the matter of this theft need to just step off and stop being so high handed here.
One of the things I said about claimed items was there should be discussion. Well there was none. It was just...oh this is Kiri so screw them, we hate them, we all know how this is going to go, so swipe swipe swipe...here you go my good buddy, have a sword! Yet when I dare to call you out on this behavior, I am the one accused of lashing out under the motivation of my hatred for you! Which is rich...Who nominated you for a GM slot on SL anyway? Oh yeah...that was me. Clearly I am an idiot, but hate you? No. What I feel concerning you is extreme sadness that you do not use your considerable skills to build things up and to make SL great, rather than tear it down at every turn you are blocked in your ploy for world domination. Here is a clue for you. You are not going to achieve your world destruction and restart of SL. EVER!!!! There just are not that many SHEEP on SL to be herded around, even by YOU!
And if that is not abuse of administrative powers then I do not know what is.
