The reason she won't RP with Bocchiere is the same reason as Suna and Konoha have made votes regarding voiding Bocchiere entirely. Though I won't get into that; sticky business and the sort.
As principle yes; the improving of one's self is a basic thing in roleplay. If a character exists a character must grow. If a character grows then the character becomes stronger. To become stronger takes form in a multitude of manners, from Uetto's training sessions, to Eric sparring with Alucard, to Bocchiere's hunting and gathering of rare and powerful artifacts and weaponry. That in itself has nothing wrong with it. If X is defeated and X had said weapon or item on his person, it is free pickings and spoils for the winner.
It's the very same concept we use when it comes to the eyes we pluck out of people's head, yet at this point one has to question how many times someone has to pluck an eye out of someone before it's actually gone - I've seen regenerating eyes.
I do understand what you're saying Raifudo, and my disputes against them are not in spite or just being a jerk. It's more of... adding the unneccesary.
Canon items did not need a ruleset in my view, simply guidelines - whoops, I said that word. If someone has a canon item, they -should- have it involved sometimes at least. They should use it in battle, why wouldn't they? If you have a strong weapon why would you not use it? Kisame would use Samehada, even against someone that turned Samehada against him simply for the fact he had better chakra than Kisame.
The issue becomes 'gorging', as I call it. To become strong you learn jutsus, you sign a contract, you do X and Y and Z. But there becomes an issue of limitation.
A shinobi cannot gain past three natural elements without Rinnegan eyes. They can pretend to have it by copying techniques they otherwise can't use by sharingan, but ultimately you can, as a normal shinobi, only learn three of the five.
One does not expect someone to enfuse themselves with two bijuu either. They would simply explode, as it were. The body cannot take two tailed demons at once.
But there is no such kind of limitation when it comes to 'gorging'. When someone recklessly rushes people, issues a challenge, if they win takes their item(s), and goes on immediately to the next one. Bocchiere, Kage, Seiya and such could gain every single canon item in Naruto if they never lost. And with each of these weapons they always have something for a battle, in a sense.
This ruling consists to keep the inactive from hoarding weapons, such as Mioku with the whatever sword he has. If he's inactive then give the person who has the -real- calling, the Mizukage, to strip that weapon off of him and give it to the next Mist kunoichi or shinobi qualified to be a Seven Swordsman member.
But, I'm not going to go into that. That's also sticky business I'd rather not be in.
It's stupid when you say it outloud. If you have a canon item, you are under the influence of these rules. This means you do not have the freedom to own canon items unless you abide these rules that Game Masters did not create. Game Masters, who are the head of roleplay, as it were. Going to democratic talk, it's these people that have the final decision on things like this. Zenaku, Tracey, Enishi and Kayenta. I can understand suggesting things but it should be them talking it out.
At least, if you're talking about server power that's how it should be.
Like you, I stopped roleplaying Raifudo. Namely, I quit because I cannot willingly accept this many rules. I could understand the bijuu ruling because that is basically how it goes. People are power hungry and they hunt the jinchuuriki for their bijuu. The Akatsuki did this very thing.
Suigetsu hunts the Seven Swordsman swords himself, and the Seven Swordsman made their own website and rulings regarding that. That's what they, as Kirigakure, have the right to do. And if the kages - and more importantly Game Masters see this as just then there it is.
But the canon items ruling already clashes with -their- ruling. You took away their freedom through this, if this goes through.
Yes, the imagination works in mysterious ways. Just because Person A wants a canon item doesn't mean Person B wants it, Person B can make their own item if they truly wish. But what of those that claimed canon items already? Do they now have no choice but to either get rid of their item, or accept a rule that came up that they either didn't abide, or didn't know about?
Or what about those people that just don't want to -deal- with some people. Kayenta for example, doesn't like Bocchiere. But at least one of her characters has a canon item. If Bocchiere challenges for the item, Kayenta has to roleplay with him. Something she doesn't want to do. This, breaks a -server- rule. When you harm someone's freedom, that's breaking a rule that Neji himself made. The entire SL Roleplay rule system breaks the rules of the game itself, in fact.
Or to cookie cutter what I just said.
Someone can challenge for the items all they want, as many items as they want, and no one can say no because they had canon items thus they have no freedom on their own to decide if they want to defend their item or not, only the freedom of giving up their weapon to avoid fighting that person. Someone who doesn't roleplay with someone else for personal reasons can't avoid them because they have X item.
You have a milkshake but I say if you have milkshake you must defend your milkshake or give it up because I want a milkshake too.
