Title: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: KayentaMoenkopi on January 20, 2012, 09:58:52 AM
I bet you guys face this problem all the time, correct? Marvelous leveler that I am, I had to beg everyone for donations just to experience the feeling.

Well here is my story:

Some of you might remember in November my drive to host a real RP Chuunin Exams with Suna as the Hosting village? Well I collected 25K in DP to award out to the participants as prizes.

The response was wonderful, so many people interested. And the results were puny. Still, some people did engage in RP for the event and should get a DP award.

Here is the kicker though; my hard drive died and I lost everything. I can't give it all back , cause I don't know who they all were and what their DP amount was. And I can't give it out to the participants because I no longer have record of who did what.

I am currently compiling new records based on memory and upon that of others to make some award to those who did things. PM me on SL if you remember anything about anyone. That would be a huge help.

However, there is going to be a significant amount left over when all is said and done.

I was thinking to award this periodically to RP that merits it in some manner.

I was also thinking about posting missions here in a separate thread that people could look at and sign up for in order to earn DP for different ranked missions. If that idea took off I would need significant help in creating missions to give out. There could be DP awards for people who write up missions as well. And if the notion took off well enough then of course I would spend the DP and need to have another fund raiser; but that is just hopeful speculation on the success of this idea.

I welcome any suggestions on what to do with the left overs.

No Asadi. I am not just gonna give it to you for being a  cross country streaker, enjoyable as that may be for us all  :D

I don't know. It just sort of hit me tonight after I threw up all over Suna. We don't need another forum for such things, everything has already been done for us here to begin with.

I know, I do frequently miss the obvious, but I get around to noticing these things eventually.

Ah i finally got logged in*failed three times as  the password was gone out of sudden!*

Ideas,ideas  ! I might have some!...or not
Erm..*pulls out the giant box of ideas and pulls out some of the better ones*

Dp for doing missions would be cool,like..killing bandits...or training...others.
Training could be to train how to roleplay ,or techniques.
Or for participating in events,should we ever have events. And with participating i do not mean such post like " Y walks into the town and watches  the big bad Bijuu/order/etc destroying the village"

Tot he missions..sooner or later i have to work on missions anyway.
I will most likely come up with something and message you! I could need the DP XD

I'll show you a good time for that DP Kayenta.

I remember donating... umm... an amount. I think it was 2.5k, but Iunno. Nor do I really care because EVERYONE IS BUTTHURT AND WANTS PAYPAL FOR EVERYTHING EVER.

I recommend donating the DP as a peace treaty between me and every nation on SL. Just saying. Its for a good cause. You're supposed to donate to mikos anyway.

Hmmm.

thank you Silver. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

As Usual just pm those missions to me ons SL.

Rare, brother dear...It is your duty as a Konoha nin and in light of the war to kill the enemy. I hardly think that merits and extra paycheck.

Reimu...everyone knows that Mikos and Demons don't exist. Just take a look at the Suna VIllage board from last night. You astound me. :D

Jounin exams! But make it limited, and an opportunity to teach those who are not too familiar with zone fighting/horrible fighters. But of course, we would need a bunch of referees, one to look over each fight.

I know I donated some to the cause, don't recall how much though. I usually just give my dp away as it is and very rarely need them so I vote for you to just keep the damn dp, buy a bunch of alt(s), and start your own village with these said alt(s) that rival all the others.... or like Fifty said put it as a bounty for the Kage of Kumo. (not kidding  :twisted:)
Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: KayentaMoenkopi on January 21, 2012, 01:05:42 PM
You guys kill me.  Zenny is a sweetheart and you guys finally have something to do now that Kumo has stirred from the mountains.

I already own enough alts, Kirk, to populate a whole village.

Top tier sounds entertaining enough.

My one worry is that, like the Chuunin exams and most tourneys that start out well, momentum will die off and no resolution will occur.
Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: KayentaMoenkopi on January 21, 2012, 01:58:28 PM
At any rate, here are my thoughts about such things at the moment. please comment...

I think that if someone else wished to organize a jounin exam then I would donate DP for prizes as they occur. Be a ind of back for the event and keep donations collected for the jounin exam separate from the 25K of the chuunins.

MY own preference, for the chuunin DP, is to award out what prizes I can manage to based upon my memory and those of others I am questioning, then to host quests/missions that people can sign up to go on and GM them through that. Awarding prizes after completion of said quest.

I used to take people questing all the time and it suits my personality much better than a long drawn out affair that loses momentum and spirals down into incompletion due to inactivity.

When such things are arranged I will post again giving an accounting of Chuunin DP given out and what the remainder is to go toward the questing missions.

*drops mic*
Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: KayentaMoenkopi on January 21, 2012, 05:22:52 PM
All right: TO the best of my recollection and investigative work, this is the accounting for the chuunin exams.

Proctors earned 300 DP for each activity they led.

1]The Eleventh Doctor~ 1 [paid]
2]Silver ~ 1 [paid]
3]Eric ~ 1 [paid]
4]Kotetsu ~ 2 [paid]
5]Renji ~ 1 [paid]
6]InuHanyou ~ 1 [paid]

total pay out = 2100 DP


Participants earned 250 DP per event.

1]Jace ~ 2 [paid]
2]Lucent ~ 2 [paid]
3]Rin ~ 2 [paid]
4]HimuratheFallen ~ 2 [payment pending reply, inactive 25 days]
5]Temari- 1 [paid]
6]Suna
7]dosu - 1  [payment pending reply, inactive 49 days]
8]Zaku - 1  [payment pending reply, inactive 49 days]
9]KinTsuchi - 1 [payment pending reply, inactive 51 days]
10]Ozil - 1  [payment pending reply, inactive 39 days]
11]RaikonKAmina - 1 [paid]
12]Zack Fair- 1 [paid]
13]Kyle Hyuuga- 1 [paid]


Total = 4.250 DP


As you can see there are some names missing and that information will hopefully be filled in for me by the Tsuchikage.

Additionally, anyone I missed should complain to me and I will fix the over sight. through PMs on SL.


so....25,000 - 6,350 = 18,650 DP left over for other things.

Post by: Eric on January 22, 2012, 04:09:49 AM
The idea I'll throw out there, since I was redirected to this forum via PM, is that rather than a Jounin tourney, wouldn't it make sense for more of an arena sort of thing?  A place for jounins online to gather and just duke it out.

I know, the Main Zone is a decent place for that sort of thing, and the perfect location to host this sort of thing, but to make it more interesting winners of fair matchups by appointed referee(s) could be awareded DP or a "point". With DP, simple enough, you get DP.

With points, if you get enough points, you get to be "invited" to higher levelled fights where others with similar point values are matched up against you.

Yeah, complicated I know, but this is all brainstorming no?
Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: KayentaMoenkopi on January 22, 2012, 05:56:29 AM
That does have a certain appeal to it Eric.  Some how to allow a person time to garner experience while having incentive to progress.

I did some talking with people today about the Jounin Exam idea too.

IT was thought that if such a thing occurred that the contestants would face off against each other 1 v 1 to demonstrate their power and skill. In order to evaluate them for leadership qualities and intelligent strategy, each would have a 3 man chuunin NPC team with no KGs to control too.

That should be much more scheduling friendly than actually trying to get 8 people together all at the same time.

It was also suggested just to have some fun events and give out DP randomly based on no skill at all, just participation. I think on SL it is awful easy to forget that RP is much more than just zoning.

Post by: Neji on January 24, 2012, 01:44:21 PM
I'd like to enrich this thread by two things:

1. Prizes

SL will offer additional DP/items/whatnot for such events - as the first one went really well and had a great feedback, it is something that we should help players with =) like funding or more.

I'd also put in other currencies or special prizes - a first prize could be a personal weapon +2, an item named after you (which you might suggest what it does, like Chouji's pills) or something like this.

2. Spending of DP

If you have an idea what you would spend DP on, and is contributing positively to the server, suggest it.
Things like "exchange DP for gems/gold" won't come, but I am not against "renting" special RP zones, giving the renting party possibly rights over the text posted there (similar like a moderator).
Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: Reimu Hakurei on January 24, 2012, 03:19:14 PM
Perhaps it would be possible to spend DP to purchase an extra PVP a day, to a maximum of 3 for 250 DP? If just to benefit sitters/new academy students that made a friend that blessed them with DP. That being said...

20,000 DP to reset KGs sounds legit and fair to me.
Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: KayentaMoenkopi on January 24, 2012, 08:28:46 PM
That is astounding. Those kind of things would be really appreciated and make the event worth even more. Some people just don't need DP...like that miser Reimu over there...


I am not gonna talk about resetting KGs. You guys have at that one on your own. IF I want new powers, I just create an alt.  I nearly have fits every time I see a new avatar or name, am horrified by the meat market  and hate change in general when it comes to identity.

I merely bring it up, because I am a boring bland miko with no personality, that blossoms when no one is around to witness it and withers away leaving an unpleasant feeling.

Or simply put, I'm too loopy to think of ideas right now and people are still bothering me about shutting down KG Switching.

I wouldn't really mind being able to spend DP to advance a cityhouse. Y'know... extra rooms, extra keys, a personal coffer that the other roomies can't reach, being able to finally store gems and not just be teased by it... I'd spend DP to upgrade my cityhouse.

It would be nice to have castles in 'standard' villages (i.e. Konoha, Kiri, Suna)... of course purchasing the privilege/permit could cost a hefty amount of DP, but hey, it's totally worth it.  8)

Back to the Jounin Exams discussion. A plot and setting RP-wise should be established. As for setting gameplay-wise, it should all take place in the zones, since they're easily accessible from every village.
Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: KayentaMoenkopi on February 01, 2012, 08:31:10 AM
Yes please...we need to hash out some details.

First of all. I am going to attempt to pull a Jounin exam together.

Kage has suggested we use Amegakure as the hosting village due to its current neutrality.  I think that is good.  I suggest we take over Ninja Central as the RP location for Amegakure during this event so people can hang out and not interfere with the actual exams. Comments on current fights can be made in NC and all occ-ness if one feels that sort of thing is needful to express between the spectators.

Actual exams will take place in unoccupied fighting zones.

I should like the following. Please comment and feel free to provide ideas, opinions and suggestions. I prefer that all name calling be done behind my back ...but then I am old fashioned that way. :P

1] Jounins should demonstrate intelligence with respect to strategy and leadership in addition to fighting prowess. So...I think it would be good to have each applicant use three NPC Chuunins with no KGs as the team they are leading. I would like the applicant to submit their NPC teams on the registration application. Chuunins should be limited to how many affinities? 2? This will allow for approval or denial of the team before the match occurs. I don't feel the actual application should be put in the official thread because it would have spoilers about the NPC team each applicant is using. I should like to keep that information confidential.

2] I would like time zones listed on the applications so that people will at least have the chance of being online at the same time as their opponent through the first round of fights. For later fights if time zone differences are a HUGE issue...maybe THAT match could end up here in a special RP thread for the exam?

3] Examiners/ referees/judges will be needed. *taps Kamui on the shoulder* "That offer to get involved still open?" All offers to serve the event in this capacity should be sent to 'she who doth cause the sun to shine' on SL. >.>

4] I like for the applicants that are paired up to set their own date and time to meet to fight. Save me having to Schedule the world. BUT once this is scheduled I would like a notification in order to get a judge lined up on the scene to attend.

5] DP awards would be made based on the number of participants with a base fee for all who enter and complete a fight win or lose. more to the winner and then for second round a larger DP award for winners only and so on until the big dog at the end gets the largest award. I also like to pay the judges a fee per match they judge as a small perk for their time and effort. This award is the same regardless of the amount of headache involved.


6] No shows to a scheduled fight are auto disqualified and the one who shows wins by default.

7] Judges can be contested. In such a case two other judges would come to confer. Their final ruling is that. The end of it.  ANY BS will result in disqualification for both  participants unless one is behaving and it is clearly only the other who is being an idiot mouthy rude argumentative poor sport deserving of a good spanking and being sent to bed without supper!

8] The Exams are only open for....WHO? Can resets enter? Can those ranked higher than jounins either by DK or RP?

9] Once registrations close a waited list will be kept to serve as replacements on a first come first serve basis in the event the original contestant can or doesn't show. Should this occur in an secondary or higher round...I would like to have the alternate applicants go through a round one match before entering the upper round.

And anything else that needs to be done....

when do we start?

The offical Jounin Exam thread will have to be spammed to all clan heads and villages and anywhere that such things can be promoted.

Jounin exams with shinobi higher than jounin as possible competitors as well? Oh i like that. Can Jinchuuriki participate too without having to go through the annoyance of ones challenging for their beasts in the middle of the exams?
Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: KayentaMoenkopi on February 01, 2012, 05:26:00 PM
An interesting notion, Zenaku. the question of Who may participate is still open for suggestion. That is the main thing that needs to be settled. I would think that if Jinchuuriki wished to participate, they would have to do so without access to any benefits of the bijuu including the extra chakra. That would seem fair to me since it would not be a challenge match. If they are not risking the bijuu then no benefits from its being?

What exclusions will we be making regarding who may enter?
Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: Moonfire on February 01, 2012, 05:55:17 PM
OMG! I am two years on the page and never really found the Bounty system!...Seriously..the bingo Book..last time i checked,someone had me in the Bingo Book with the note"Captain of Sunas Defense" ...I am not the captain...of Sunas defense i think we don't  have this title...yet.

However to the Jounin exam...Does it mean..Chuunin do this exam to become Jounin. Or is it more like a tournament,to test the skill?
Right now it sounds more like a tricky tournament,then i would suggest that also higher ups could join..but keep the OP-ness to a ...Jounin limit..so we are..fair to each other?

Maybe we should say..only one Kg please and no Bijuu extras ? Sounds to restricting to me,but it is an idea to keep all at bay.

I think you got most covered already,Kay.

But i would call it Jounin Tournament and not exam..exam is..so..school like..as if we would make a class test.

To bounty hunting..i personally would prefer this as RP MISSION.This is maybe far more effective then with the in game system.I bet it is barely to never used !
But then..we have barely a thing we could spent DP on...

Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: Neji on February 02, 2012, 10:18:50 AM
DP as bounty ... why not. I'd fix up a system relatively easy if you want that.

DP for the houses ... the system is quite huge, extra rooms might be an addon - I believe.
An extra coffer might not be the problem, storing gems - well, it becomes "farming for the main" then, which I don't really like... some things should stick to a character. I don't allow item trading for the same reason.

DP could be spend for a guard, like the one you have for gold. I am not against paying with DP for some services.
DP for an extra room to talk i.e. would be okay, but the rights management (keys) would be a big task (the current key system is complex enough).

Organize your thoughts, label them, and if in a discussion there are many backing it up, we may have a deal  :twisted:

As for the Jounin Exams - DP does support this with whatever Kayenta and I will agree on.
Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: Kage on February 03, 2012, 04:13:19 PM
We should probably set up a thread and list people who have officially signed-up for participation in the exams, and a list of referees.
Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: KayentaMoenkopi on February 04, 2012, 01:43:59 AM
I wish to have all the details hammered out here before doing that Kage.

Everyone, please review the following text with which I propose to start the Jounin Exam Thread.

JOUNIN EXAMS

In the interest of spending up left over donated DP from the Chuunin Exams and general fun and or bragging rights, Jounin Exams will be hosted this season by Amagakure.

Since there is no village board for Amagakure, Ninja Central will serve as a general RP location for spectators and participants alike while the actual matches of the exam will be held in available zones.

There will be a two week 'get your act together' period in which registrations will be collected. To register one must fill out the registration form and send it to KayentaMoenkopi on SL AND reply to this thread on the forum saying you have completed a registration form.

All registrations need to be turned in by [insert date]. After applicants are assigned an opponent, notifications will be sent out at which time each paired match-up will have to set a date/time and place for their exam. Notify KayentaMoenkopi when these arrangements have been agreed upon so that a judge can be assigned to your exam.

Copy and paste the completed form below into a pm to KayentaMoenkopi on SL.

Anyone wishing to donate DP for awards to be given during this event can send them to KayentaMoenkopi. An accounting of ALL DP will be displayed on the forum. Currently there is 17,400 DP in the Jounin Exam Pool.
RULES

1] No God modding. You may not use powers you do not legitimately posses either through DK rank. resets or verifiable RP events/training.

2] No Auto-hitting. You may not post the successful completion of ANY action. This prevents your opponent from having the opportunity to use their abilities to prevent your action from succeeding.

3] No Character Control. You may not post an action or response of any kind for your opponent.

4] No Metagaming. Any information that you as the player knows is off limits for your character to act upon. For instance...if your opponent makes a bunshin, you had better have a valid explanation of how your character can tell it is not the real deal.

5] If you do not post it, it does not happen. Nothing will be assumed based upon the history of your character or standard definitions of your jutsu. It is your duty as an RP-er to leave nothing up to the imagination of your RP partner and those of the spectators.

6] Manners: Oh my yes. Do not OOC your match up with  a bunch of rude or insulting behavior. Disputes or concerns should be discussed in pms. If you and your opponent come to a stalemate concerning the validity of an action, take it to the judge and let he/she handle it. If the judge does not make a ruling that both parties find to be agreeable, then two other judges will come in to review the match and a ruling will be handed out. This will then be the final word upon the matter. Failure to comply with the accepted manner of behavior will see you disqualified.

7] Failure to show up for your scheduled match will result in disqualification unless arrangements to reschedule have been made. The person who did show will be paired up with another opponent. Only victory in a match will get you to a higher round in the exams.

8] DP will be awarded based upon the number of contestants. All first round contestants who complete a match will receive an award with the victor of each match gaining a larger DP award. For each progressive match the same scenario applies. Each round will have a larger award until the final victor who will receive the top tier amount. Examiner/judges will receive a DP award for each event they moderate regardless of the ease or difficulty of that particular match.

9] Late entrants will be put on a waiting list to be substituted into an exam on a first come first served basis. Do not expect to get your chance. Hell might freeze over one day and so too all entrants might just actually show up and this thing go off without a hitch. If you do get called up to stand into a second round or higher match, you will have to win a first round match against another wait listed entrant before being placed into the upper round event.

10] No second chances. If your opponent is able to get away with something during your match, you may not come back later and contest this. No one is going to point it out to you and say this is not a valid move. At this level of RP it is YOUR responsibility to know what is and what is not possible. So, if you do not catch a fast one that is pulled on you before the end of your match, too bad. These are Jounin Exams, not Academy Exams.

11] Who may enter? come on guys...are we excluding anyone? I think that Jinchuuiriki could participate providing they do not use the Bijuu or its additional benefits such as chakra pool. Loss by a Jinchuuriki will not result in loss of the Bijuu as this is not a Bijuu contest.

Question: Should the number of KGs per person be limited? If so under what criteria?

Question: How many affinities do the Chuunin NPCs get? Are there any other restrictions that need to be placed upon them?

Jounin Exam Application:

Each participant will be asked to demonstrate the following skills: strength in battle, leadership and intelligence with regard to strategy.

As such, each participant will have to create 3 NPC Chuunins with no KGs to take the place of a shinobi team they will be leading into battle. The Jounin participant will also join the battle and not just stand on the sidelines.

The details of this entry form will not be viewed by the general public in order to keep your sensitive information a secret. However, the details will be reviewed to guard against unfavorable powers and each contestant will be asked to modify themselves if something is found to be outside the generally accepted zone practices.

That could work. One thing I thought of (though it might make things more complicated) Is to have one non-lethal and one lethal section. Since the lethal one would be more dangerous the prizes would be higher. Maybe even make it so you HAVE to kill your opponents in the lethal one.  Being King of the Deathmatch sounds like fun to me.  :twisted:

I believe that players should not have their KG's limited in the contest, however perhaps each match could have a set of restrictions, such as 'You may not use Katon or Raiton', or 'You may only use taijutsu' just to add in a little variety?

Each should only be limited to possessing one Kekkei Genkai max, if any at all. That being said, one NPC should possess in my opinion, only one chakra affinity. They aren't necessarily going to be doing all of the player's fighting for them.

@ Yumei

I really don't want the CHuunin to have KGs. We will see what other people say too.

@ Bocchiere...

I know you love to kill, but people might take it too seriously, cop an attitude and then what was supposed to be fun turn into this argument festival instead. I think the loss of one's character...potentially years of RP down the drain is a bit too serious for what I have in mind with this exam. Potentially, all the entrants but one will die. and that is a lot of people getting the red ring of death.

Question: Should the number of KGs per person be limited? If so under what criteria?

In my opinion, The number should be limited to two at the most, but it has to be directly proportionate to the Keekei Genkai they have in SL, if the matches are to occur in the Forum. Futher more, I think it would be kind of interesting to ass it to the point where the person can decide to hold two Kekkei Genkai, or give one to one of their Chuunin NPC's, and keep one for themselves, as in any actual team, it's not one person who holds all the special abilities, but it is normally separated within at least two members of the group. That's an idea however so...

Question: How many affinities do the Chuunin NPCs get? Are there any other restrictions that need to be placed upon them?

The Chuunin NPC's should each get one affinity, as that is more then enough to use combination attacks, if you have multiple NPC's attack with different affinities, or even with all the same. Either way, one is more then enough.

Who can participate?

Anyone with the level of Jounin and above, excluding the current Kage's (Kaze, Mizu, Rai, Oto, Tsuchi, and hokages.) should be able to participate. If anything, The Kage's with other select people should be among the judges.

@ Bocc... I am leaving the killing option in the application. Those that wish to fight to the death certainly can. But they will more than likely face those who do not wish to. And thank you for volunteering to mediate.

@ Shadow...ONLY the discussion and registration will be held here. OR if getting together due to time scheduling for those who have that problem...they could start a fight thread somewhere perhaps. As you can see I am still a newbie on this forum and I don't know if there is an RP section.

Question: Should the number of KGs per person be limited? If so under what criteria?

I think they should be limited. My character is on the weaker end so that just may be that talking, but the last thing I want to do is actually enter and be sent to my doom against someone with kaguya, Sage of Six paths, and Uchiha resets. I would certainly be butthurt after that match sort of matchup.

Question: How many affinities do the Chuunin NPCs get? Are there any other restrictions that need to be placed upon them

They're NPC"s': things are going to get hectic enough. I know how to post with character aside from my own using different color schemes, but controllin four at a time will require me to know some different color codes. XP. So if anything, the chunin should, for simplicty, have just one affinity per individual. There ARE three of them, and I can think of a least a few combination techniques that could work with the main character having two affinities, then the chunin each having one of the other three elements.

"You may not post the successful completion of ANY action."


I'm not new to RPing, but when you say of any action, does that mean you can't post that you hurled a kunai over the wall and it lands successfully onto the ground outside the wall? Is it that down to earth "see plains zone to get the joke" or are you just trying to tell people not to claim a successful scorching the post they declare they are trying to scorch someone?

"Who may enter? come on guys...are we excluding anyone?"

Well, technically since we are giving out DP, we have to be fair and allow anyone to actually join don't we? Excluding a group (despite misgivings) would probably not be a good idea for a tournament of this sort.

Although, I would like to know who's participating or not. If I have no chance of winning against ANYONE, then I won't even bother signing up.

Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: KayentaMoenkopi on February 05, 2012, 09:18:44 PM
I will try to address things the best I can.

@ Arpax: Thank you. I will pencil you in and take all the DP you can throw at me.

@ Reimu: you should have plenty of time. I do hope so. Once I start the Jounin Exam Thread, registrations will be open for two weeks. I should like to restrict each round to one week to schedule the fight and get it completed. I do not think that is too short a time. Of course there will no doubt crop up special circumstances where rescheduling will have to occur. But if this is done through a notification, no disqualifications should be issued.

@Eric: I prefer a more realistic acquisition to gaining and actually using KGs. This issue has been hotly debated for years, I suspect ever since KGs first became available.  Genetically speaking a person should only have one KG. I do not believe if my mother is a Kaguya and my father an Uchiha that both would manifest themselves. I believe one would be a more dominant trait. I also realize that many feel this is unreasonable.  Since this is RP...I really don't care how many times you sat here over the years and pressed a button to earn the EMG. You still didn't kill your best friend and endure all the drama that came with it to activate it through RP. HOWEVER...the trouble with that is a person can just create his character and claim all of that through background information and not even actually RP it here. SO essentially with that rationale, a brand new player could claim any power and that is just not fair to those of us who have put in the time and done the work to earn these things. You can see the point is arguable for both points to be valid. And that is the huge trouble here. Any decision that is made is going to be viewed unfair by many people on either side of this issue. I suppose I could play the part of 'big bad meanie' here and just make a decision...for this event...and not for general RP outside the event.

So....I am not even gonna touch HOW you acquire a KG. That is someone else's nightmare and serves no purpose in this exam.  You may have one KG and three affinities for the exam in use. Chuunin NPCs may have one affinity and no KGs.  Jinchuuriki cannot use any benefits of the bijuu during the exam.  And God help anyone whose opponent has the Rinnegan.  It just seems like an auto win situation to me being, through canon means, an OP KG.  The reason I am saying One KG is because I feel genetically that is how it would be.  I also feel that even if you had more KG, to actually use them would not be possible at Jounin levels due to the amount of training you would have to put into each one.  Despite opening up the exam to everyone regardless of RP or DK rank, for the purposes of this exam...you are all Jounin wannabees.

Feel free to express your many KGs in the zones outside this exam. Some leveling of the playing field has to be made. Think of it as being a music major in college and being  in a music appreciation class. You are not being tested on the wealth of musical knowledge that you already possess but ONLY upon the material presented in that entry level course.

@ Isamu: Jounin are the upper crust of the village. They not only have to demonstrate power in battle but an ability to intelligently plan battle strategy as well as show leadership abilities. So...you will have the three person NPC chuunin team to use so that you may demonstrate those other two Jounin abilities in battle. It would be really cool to have real players in those slots. To have combined the Chuunin Exams with a Jounin leader taking his Jounin exam sounds like a dream come true to me. However...it is near impossible to coordinate everyone's schedules to meet and perform the event. So...you get NPCs instead and then only have to coordinate your schedule to meet with one other person rather than 7 more.

@Eric once more...I think you are quite capable of employing three extra color codes to represent your chuunins. Rita....she is a summons? I know you have more of a partnership relationship going on with her than that of a mere summons. I hate to hurt her feelings...but you may want to sneak off and leave her home for this test. I will not push the issue though. You decide what you feel is fair regarding her and I will back you 100% on the issue.

I am scared to go look in the plains now and see what it is you are talking about. Technically...I could do something to stop that kunai from hitting the ground. I know that sounds ridiculous but it is a valid point. Just try to be reasonable. I don't want this turning into the following...

"I try to walk across the street.  Attempting to lift my right foot, presuming that no one does anything to stop me, the muscles in my legs contract, presuming I am not hit with a neurotoxin that prevents my muscles from responding to the synapses occurring in my brain that makes motion possible, and then extend my leg...assuming that no obstacles are suddenly placed in the way and room still exists for my leg to extend into, and then try to plant my foot down on the street...in the likelihood that a sudden sinkhole does not appear and the street still can sustain the weight of my foot.

Upon the successful completion of this first step, I would then try to lift my other leg for the sole purpose of extending my leg and setting my foot back down upon the street that was there when I first thought to cross its width. Should I actually succeed in taking these first steps unimpeded I then would proceed to try to take the next pair of steps with the aim of changing my location toward my destination. Unless some unforeseen series of events occurs, I reach the other side of the street after repeating the required number of steps in order to do so. Feeling pleased by successfully crossing the street I proceed to plan my next course of action assuming this event did not induce a stroke and I am not rushed off to the infirmary instead."

You can see how fun that would be...just please shoot me now and I will go read a book instead.

I feel that for actions that occur against the terrain...the throwing of that Kunai...you could safely assume it hits the earth. Your opponent can always say something like..."Unfortunately despite the wishes of Eric, I intercepted the kunai with one of my own in an attempt to prevent his kunai from reaching the ground.

HOWEVER...that does not mean you can cause massive destruction to a village and just succeed either.  A give and take exists between RPers. Try stuff out, what do you get away with? What is foiled?

@ EVERYONE:   I plan to go ahead and set up the Jounin thread and try to get this balls rolling. Please post the link to the event...which I will post here as well...all over the place. Clan halls MoTD...Clan Mail...Spam your friends list in PM and all that good jazz.

It's funny that a non-great shinobi nation is hosting these exams. Just saying. >.>

In regards to the kg limitation, I personally think it should be non existent as long as it is validated by resets. Since it's something generally acknowledged. You don't see anyone calling Zenaku out on him having 3kgs and sage mode, specifically cause they were owned in-game. As for the genetic possibility of such, we've already seen a person can have 2kg. So it would be up to them to decide weather they want to look like idiots and claim all 4 to be from their families or look acceptable and have some of them implanted instead, like how Madara from the series has 3 of the in-game kg.

It would be somewhat a discrimination that favors those with little to no resets and does the opposite for those with many.

Well, just sharing my opinion here, it's really up for the "moderators" of these exams to decide.

I suppose I could act as a judge of sorts seeing as I have a decent level of prestige, if such is required/accepted of me. However, not for the following week or so due to college.
Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: KayentaMoenkopi on February 06, 2012, 03:48:01 AM
My views on the KGs have been stated above. I do not go around calling anyone out because it is rude. Especially when that someone is a friend. I personally do not feel it is my place to put other's in theirs. Now...if I was asked...well then that is another matter and you get what you ask for.

As for favoring those without maxed enhancements over those that have them? So what? in a match skill should be the deciding factor, not how many toys you have to play with. I favor whatever gets the most people involved. There are plenty of people who will never zone here again because they feel that with the stacking of KGs there really is no point in even trying.

You and I have debated these issues before Rare. To some pretty heated ends. What is accepted is not always in the best interests of all or even necessarily right.

As for this event...

There are too many justifiable options on how to proceed. In order TO proceed, I have set out the criteria that will be in use for this event. Next time someone else should arrange things to provide variety.

There are two weeks of registrations to deal with Rare. You won't miss a thing. And of course I will put you to good use as a judge.

In literally terms, implants WILL kill you. The auto-immune system attacks the implanted organ and destroys it. Simple as that. If they are taking pills to suppress the immune system, sneeze on them, throw some moss at them. Wait a month. Read a newspaper and find their name. OR if you are a Medical Ninja, you can kill them easily. Just have one of your Chunin as a Medical. Solve everything.
That is if we use real life logic, and not anime-rationality. 
Title: Re: So much DP and nothing to Spend it on!
Post by: KayentaMoenkopi on February 19, 2012, 04:46:50 AM
@Yimura: Many transplants are successful without a life long suppression of the immune system, especially eyes. It didn't take me long here on SL to learn that logic has nothing to do with anything in Naruto. Don't even get me started on how the Kaguya bloodline is even possible at all. my bones are dense so I can rip out my spinal column with not so much as a nervous tick being the result? please...

My personal feelings are that people should earn their KGs through resets.

Yes I know that transplants and bioengineering are canon but there is a lot about the canon series that irks me.

But I also feel that people who have been RPing Kgs before the resets were even planned, let alone created, have valid claims to them; maybe even more so than people who just sit around clicking buttons. and that is because we are talking RP.

I am divided on the issue clearly.

Since we are talking RP here...well look at the Uchiha line for instance.

Each new tomoe activation is through some personal trama/ turmoil event.  Shouldn't those who have these rests and who do RP go through some event before they realize the benefits in RP?

Take my ex-husband. He earned his MGS through killing me.  Ah, it truly was a match made in heaven. lol

To summarize...

I feel the justifications on both sides of the argument are too varied to have some sort of blanket ruling. Certainly sitting the fence like I have been doing over the years has gotten me nowhere, but I find it hard to look at this issue on anything other than from a case by case standpoint.

To make a blanket ruling we have to make a fair and balanced system in a realm where none exists. Numerical codification of the rules would be required and that is just not occurring. What we have here is off the cuff RP, not DnD, which requires sensible-reasonable-compromising-levelheaded-concessions between ALL players.

Everyone cannot be the 'one-man army' or the genius. Genius is a rarity but on SL it seems to have become the norm.
