Title: An idea I have been having
Post by: UettoSenju on August 13, 2013, 03:13:22 AM
Recently I have been considering of getting back into the Forum RP side of the Naruto based RPGs. I have been out of the game for a long time and it would take me sometime to get back into the swing of things...

I was simply wondering if there would be anyone that would be interested in adding in creating a site. Usually it is good to have a crew of people working behind the idea to increase the site from being up and running faster.


The will be following some old systems I constructed back when I use to help others create/remodel their site.... things like chakra point systems, missions system, banned jutsu list, character build system, ranking up system, village invasion system, ect.

Basically I plan to keep he character builds more simple of course. Meaning less OP characters and characters powers actually reflecting their ranks... stuff of that sort.

I'm not quite sure about the plot as of yet. I had an idea about revolving it around a Shinobi World based off the time before the villages. It would perhaps be a little harder to organize then that of one that involves around the Villages but just a thought.



Anyways, I'm try to create the site and am gonna ask people I know from SL to join me in the rp. I would rather rp with you guys then strangers... because it is easier to rp at a new site with people you already know in my opinion. But if anyone would like to lend a hand I am just throwing it out there.

I could give Naruto forum RPing another go, it's been years since I last did and the current state of SL RPing it is be Overpowered or risk dying.

Anyway I like this idea and I can try to help any way I can if possible.

I actually fear a lot of SL will shun the idea due to such things like Rinnegan, EMS, 8-gates, FTG, ect. will be not be allowed the list will be long.

Like I said it will take me some time to get this rolling though... I have to remembers how to create and function a forum first lol.

As long as it is like that from the start it is fine. I wish SL could be like that but it will never change here.

You know i'm down with the Forum RP! Count me in as help...we actually ran the other Forum site together for the Konoha patrol if you remember and with more people willing to join, more fun.

I can trust you to come up with the full list of KG and Techniques that will not be allowed. There is a good list I can come up with besides the ones you listed but I will leave it to you.

I can trust you to come up with the full list of KG and Techniques that will not be allowed. There is a good list I can come up with besides the ones you listed but I will leave it to you.

Of course the list will be much much longer. An I will also be asking for others to weigh in their opinions on others that should be void.

For instance no EMS and the MS will be made rather hard to earn rp wise.  There will also be a system drawn out for the MS so that it is not spammed.... for instance 'x' amount of post with it until you become blind.

Most KG will be allowed but nerfed if needed. Like Mokuton will be allowed but not all the crazy jutsu that evolves around it.

Genjutsu is a tricky one that you have to create a very solid system around. This one actually is not my cup of tea... it is very easy to auto-hit with Genjutsu so in-order to prevent this from happening you have to limit exactly what Genjutsu is used in what ways.

Raiton no Yorio and anything of that sort would be a no go. It is one of those things that you start debating well this is fast and this is faster... so to avoid that nothing like the sort should be allowed.

Sage Mode, maybe. I am not fully sure how to go about this one yet. I think with some proper nerfing it could be allowed... and it would be one of those things that is limited to like 2 people at the whole site, to which the character can not have any KG or Hidden Jutsu.

No tailed beast... they just cause to much mayhem. If a proper system can be worked out in the future perhaps but for now I'd say no.

No more then 2 elements. Unless a custom clan is created to allow such or they are Sharingan copied... in other words it want be common to have more then 2 elements, with the exception of a elemental KG.

Characters will be limited to either no KG, one KG, one Hidden Jutsu, or curse seal, that being if a system for curse seals can be worked out. In the event of no KG character will be able to choose stuff like Sage Mode if that is allowed or something along those lines. In other words no stacking of powers.

Implants will be allowed and there will be a very drawn out system for it. Meaning not easy to obtain.... plus they will be made to where you can not spam... for instance 'x' amount of post before you are wore out. Plus you will have to write a long training post before being able to use the implant rp wise... I'm thinking or around 3000 words or so.

There are a ton of other things that will have to be implanted.... I just have to get started really.

Post by: UettoSenju on August 13, 2013, 05:44:51 AM
Just to throw out there a few of the other systems, so that people will be aware of what to expect.

Chakra Point System- pretty easy concept. You have 'x' amount of chakra points and it takes 'x' amount to perform a certain jutsu... when you run out you die. When you are low you are tired... depending on rank will determine how many you start with and they can be built up through training.  Naturally the higher ranking a jutsu is the more chakra points it will coast.

Ranking System- The system in which you will rank up either by getting points from missions or through earning character points.

Mission Points- Basically you perform missions and can earn 'x' amount of points for completing said mission, amount will be determine by rank of mission. For example: Mission 'Teachers Aid', D-Rank, consist of helping the Academy Instructor for a day, no less then 500 word, possible points to earn 10+2= 12 [note d-rank missions are worth 2 points, c-rank 4, b-rank 6, A-rank 8, S-rank 10; these are points automatically given.]

Then the extra 10 points that can be earned are broken down to be graded, by quality, quantity, grammar, creativity. So therefor each is worth 2.5 points to combine in order to make 10.

The person submits there mission to be graded and the moderators do there thing: Quality- person showed average rp skills in post giving okay details, out of 2.5 earned 1.5; Quantity- out of the 500 word minimum the person posted 510 words, out of the 2.5 earned 0.5; Grammar- person showed perfect grammar, out of 2.5 earned 2.5; Creativity- although the quality was average the writer showed some rather creative thought flows in their post, out of 2.5 earned 2.0.

The person earned the automatic 2 points for a D-rank mission, and 6.5 points out of the possible 10 points that were graded {I hope that math is right lol}. Therefore for this mission the person earned 8.5 mission points to be awarded to their character.

Character Development Points- Basically all rp can be submitted to be graded for the possibility of 10 points. You can also rank up through earning these points but it will take many more then mission points in order to do so... this is how rogue nin will have to rank up. These points may also be spent in-order to train new jutsu and skills. In other words this is to prevent people from stacking up there skills without doing other rp... this will encourage people to rp other things then just doing nothing but training their character up.

It will be graded similar to that of the 10 points from the mission system.

Records will be keep as to where the points were spent and a total earning of the points: example, Uetto has earned a total of 85 Character Points with a remaining 43 left.
-(date) [link to rp] 15 points spent to training in Speed.
-(date) [link to rp] 10 points spent to training to learn blabla-jutsu.

Stats System- (this is one I have actually never done but would like to try)

Basically each character starts with 'x' amount of stat points, depending on rank, to spend were they wish: Strength, Speed, Durability, Endurance

This will be used to determine in battle who would be stronger or faster. If person 'A' has more speed points then person 'B' then they would be faster... However their Durability points may be lower then person 'A' and persons 'A' have a high strength. Simply put if person 'A' can hit person 'B' they would deal a good amount of damage.

[this is just something to test as I am not certain how it would work out... there are other methods as to which one could go about this which I may use those instead.]

I wasn't saying that my character does not push the limits lol. I was simply saying you act to innocent in the matter lol. It was more of a joke than anything. Meh, take it as you wish.

Also I never entered Sage Mode in one post... I summoned my mounts and started to merge then in the next post I entered Sage Mode. That is totally legit as Pervy Sage entered it the second he had his summons. I ran this by several others that have used Sage Mode for a long time and what not and they all agreed it was legit..... of topic but this is the spam section so blablablablabla

Thank you. I hope I can actually find time to do it and all. Plus running a forum is a chore in itself if I recall correctly... regardless I posted it here so that others could take the lead or aid in on it.

As we can see Rai already has a sight and all. The question is what interest would he have in all of this.

I just think your logic for why it is fair is dumb." You just got to knock them off my shoulders and I instantly exit, go ahead and try, NOT LIKE I'M IN SAGE MODE OR ANYTHING." I personally don't agree with it. *bounces a tennis ball off your head* I would still like a site where people are not forced to be OP to be top tier.

Really that is the whole point of banning jutsu and limiting characters as to not being able to stack. Plus the Chakra System actaully helps a ton when it comes to no more spamming... and it makes you actually think about how to use your jutsu more wisely.

And that is good. With SL you can say you are going to do that, but you can't stop the people who want to be OP, so you'll lose. It's just an un-winnable war. A fresh start would be good.

I would just like to point out that I am not trying to replace SL or anything of the sort. I simply want to start up a forum again and get back into that rp.... I just don't want that to get confused.

I plan to still rp here at SL and all as well.

Okay so until I hear back from Raifudo let me just get a count on those that could possibly start aiding in building a site within the next few days.

Of course we will need someone that is experienced with building and designing forums. Someone that can work the layout and add in all t cool pics and what not.... it has been to long sense I have done it... I'd probably get lost if I went at it solo.

Also we will need a someone to proof read things and rewrite stuff so that is is more readable and to check for grammar issues.

Really I'm just searching for a few people to help me get this thing going.

It shouldn't take long to get a site up and running if we can get a good team to working on one. As we go more systems can be put in and what not.

Oh it wouldn't hurt to have someone that could do a really good plot as well....

... and of course the thing I am worst at, naming the site.

I am distraught at the claiming that this site will merely be an alternative. Unlike SLS, with all of these aforementioned limitations, it will actually be a challenge to get powerful, which is something many of the new players (and veterans alike) seem pleased with. Given enough time, this will replace SL RP in its entirety except for playful stuff.

Not that that is a terrible thing. I mean, Gyru could hand over the reigns to SLS, since it's already linked right on the home page anyways, but I digress.

To support your idea, and encourage creativity, make this a time right after the Sage of Six Paths introduced jutsu (or some time shortly thereafter) and the shinobi world is just getting started. No villages, few jutsu-oriented clans as of yet, still plenty of samurai (maybe NPC) running around doing their thing.

That's how the story can start. Once some people reach a decent enough level of power, then we can enter a sort of alliance formation thing, where clan creation is not only highly encouraged, but even rewarded in the form of boards and organization.

Next, if it hadn't already begun, have the clans start to go to war almost by defacto.

Next, unban the creation of hidden villages. This would in theory take a long time to get to, since hidden villages in themselves require a variety of clans to come together for the sake of mutual benefit.

Finally, a Great shinobi War. From there, things just... go. A complete list of 'dos' and 'donts' is required.

How will custom techniques be handled? I am addicted to customizing things when it comes to RP, and would like to know what kind of stance would be taken on that.

Even more important than the storyline is how it will be treated. SLS was probably supposed to contain a lot of the hardcore RP of SL into one, so SL itself would be a little lighter, but that didn't quite work out for some reason, and from that we get to about what my char came back to.

Who will the moderators eventually turn out to be? Likely those who start with the project from the get-go and are not on Kirk's shit list (if he even has one).

How much from SL can be ported over if at all? Is it a complete, fresh start? No lineages, no previous histories, not even summoning contracts previously created?

Post by: Raifudo Oppa on August 14, 2013, 02:33:56 AM
"Legend of Raifudo", anyone?

On a serious note, this is an example of my stat system:

Stat-point System
Brief Summary:
The stat system is based on a “hard work pays off” process. To guarantee players will have an advantage from dedicated work, they will gain perks for beginning at a lower stage than the highest allowed rank. To do so, there is an established list that allots a certain amount of stat-points (SP) per rank located [here]; each rank, on the basis of which is higher, increases in SP available for use.
Going by the system, once a character ranks up, they will be given the base points of 10 plus 2 more for their work (the +2 accumulates with prior awarded rank-ups).
Example:
Academy Student – 10 SP
Jounin – 40 SP
The above is the SP-base system for Academy Students and Jounin, meaning beginning at that rank will allot you that many points. Now, assuming one begins at Jounin (Player B), they are given 40 SP to spend as they wish. Now if one were to begin at Academy Student (Player A), they’d be given 10. As they progressed to genin, they would acquire 12 SP (10 for rank-up and 2 for role-play bonus); once they reach Jounin, A would have 46 SP (10 from the beginning, 30 from rank-up, and 6 from accumulated role-play bonus).  Although it may seem miniscule, those 6 points can greatly make a difference in combat between B and A.
Extended Summary:
Stat Descriptions
When a player chooses their [rank], they will be given a set amount of points to distribute along their stats as they see fit.
Ninjutsu: Ninja techniques; placing points into this stat increases the power of your ninja art techniques and increases the ranking of jutsu you can use.
Taijutsu: Body techniques; placing points into this stat increases the strength of your physical offensive and defensive abilities.
Genjutsu: Illusionary techniques; placing points into this stat increases the capabilities of your jutsu and how well they can fool your opponents – likewise, increase the difficulty of breaking out of them.
Intelligence: One’s mental capabilities; placing points into this stat increases the adaptability and perception of a player; it also advocates the ability to learn at a faster pace.
Stamina: Endurance; stamina points exist to extend your chakra pool. It is the key source to durability and execution.
Hand Seals: Molding and precision; hand seals are the foundation for chakra formation and manipulation. Usage of the hand seals stat increases manipulation of chakra as well as the ability to form it into techniques. Likewise, this attribute allows the player to weave through hand seals faster and, eventually, use only one hand for techniques.
Speed: dexterity; the speed in which a player can maneuver. Reflexes and perception of physical motion is also augmented by this stat.
Fuuinjutsu: Sealing; sealing techniques, which includes summoning, is used to augment the type of sealing you can do, which can range from basic weapon scrolls to chakra capacity.
Base SP and Stat Caps
Each attribute above can have a maximum of ten points placed into it; however, ranking also plays an important role within them. A cap (listed below) is set in order to prevent a player from matching abilities with someone of a much higher rank (I.E. An Academy Student placing ten points into speed and matching that of a Kage).
In order to avoid everyone choosing the higher rank right off the bat, a system has been made that awards more for the effort of ranking up than simply choosing the higher title. To go about this, after a player has chosen their ranking, one will progress through means of [missions] and [role-play bonuses] that help advance a player to reach the needed [Experience Points] in order to rank up. Here is the list of base SP and their stat caps.
Academy Student – 10; Cap is 4/10
Genin – 20; Cap is 5/10
Chuunin – 30; Cap is 6/10
Jounin – 40; Cap is 7/10
Anbu – 50; Cap is 8/10
Kage: 65; – Cap is 10/10
After a rank up, a player receives 10 Stat points [SP] as a minimal number to properly advance to the abilities of the higher; because they successfully ranked up via role-play, they will be awarded 2 SP more (which [accumulates] with ranking) which tally’s up to 12 per rank-up via role-play. Although two may seem insignificant, it’s the combined effort of the rank-ups that make it worthwhile. Simply said, no matter what, ranking up by means of role-play will make you stronger than your higher, default-ranked, peers.
Jutsu Clashes

Conclusion
One can begin at any rank, except for prestigious ranks such as Anbu or Kage, and excel through means of role-play. As stated above, a significant number of times, beginning at a lower tier allows you more possibilities in your character’s prowess.


By the way, @Eric: I already have a "time frame" kind of story. Two, actually. One that proceeds with the canon story after the sage of the six and everything is just clans right now in certain regions of the world, and the second where it's a sort of spin-off from Naruto where the tailed beasts are actually legendary weapons and the sage is known as the Constellation's Blacksmith; essentially a man who was known to even be the ones who molded the stars themselves and so on -- pure legend.

Next, unban the creation of hidden villages. This would in theory take a long time to get to, since hidden villages in themselves require a variety of clans to come together for the sake of mutual benefit.

Finally, a Great shinobi War. From there, things just... go. A complete list of 'dos' and 'donts' is required.

How will custom techniques be handled? I am addicted to customizing things when it comes to RP, and would like to know what kind of stance would be taken on that.

Even more important than the storyline is how it will be treated. SLS was probably supposed to contain a lot of the hardcore RP of SL into one, so SL itself would be a little lighter, but that didn't quite work out for some reason, and from that we get to about what my char came back to.

Who will the moderators eventually turn out to be? Likely those who start with the project from the get-go and are not on Kirk's shit list (if he even has one).

How much from SL can be ported over if at all? Is it a complete, fresh start? No lineages, no previous histories, not even summoning contracts previously created?

If I am to make a site then nothing will be carried over from SL. The site will be related to SL by no means... just another random forum I guess you could say.

And there would have to be many systems put into place to assure everything was covered. For example a custom jutsu template would be made. Creativity would not be frowned upon but be closely looked over as to assure no one was to slip by with any OP in terms of what I would like to set the site to be.


For the time being I would like to spend sometime to get use to Raifudo's site and his systems in order to fully understand his forums style and see if I would like to buy into his ways... So far the system he had presented seems rather interesting.

"Legend of Raifudo", anyone?

On a serious note, this is an example of my stat system:

Stat-point System
Brief Summary:
The stat system is based on a “hard work pays off” process. To guarantee players will have an advantage from dedicated work, they will gain perks for beginning at a lower stage than the highest allowed rank. To do so, there is an established list that allots a certain amount of stat-points (SP) per rank located [here]; each rank, on the basis of which is higher, increases in SP available for use.
Going by the system, once a character ranks up, they will be given the base points of 10 plus 2 more for their work (the +2 accumulates with prior awarded rank-ups).
Example:
Academy Student – 10 SP
Jounin – 40 SP
The above is the SP-base system for Academy Students and Jounin, meaning beginning at that rank will allot you that many points. Now, assuming one begins at Jounin (Player B), they are given 40 SP to spend as they wish. Now if one were to begin at Academy Student (Player A), they’d be given 10. As they progressed to genin, they would acquire 12 SP (10 for rank-up and 2 for role-play bonus); once they reach Jounin, A would have 46 SP (10 from the beginning, 30 from rank-up, and 6 from accumulated role-play bonus).  Although it may seem miniscule, those 6 points can greatly make a difference in combat between B and A.
Extended Summary:
Stat Descriptions
When a player chooses their [rank], they will be given a set amount of points to distribute along their stats as they see fit.
Ninjutsu: Ninja techniques; placing points into this stat increases the power of your ninja art techniques and increases the ranking of jutsu you can use.
Taijutsu: Body techniques; placing points into this stat increases the strength of your physical offensive and defensive abilities.
Genjutsu: Illusionary techniques; placing points into this stat increases the capabilities of your jutsu and how well they can fool your opponents – likewise, increase the difficulty of breaking out of them.
Intelligence: One’s mental capabilities; placing points into this stat increases the adaptability and perception of a player; it also advocates the ability to learn at a faster pace.
Stamina: Endurance; stamina points exist to extend your chakra pool. It is the key source to durability and execution.
Hand Seals: Molding and precision; hand seals are the foundation for chakra formation and manipulation. Usage of the hand seals stat increases manipulation of chakra as well as the ability to form it into techniques. Likewise, this attribute allows the player to weave through hand seals faster and, eventually, use only one hand for techniques.
Speed: dexterity; the speed in which a player can maneuver. Reflexes and perception of physical motion is also augmented by this stat.
Fuuinjutsu: Sealing; sealing techniques, which includes summoning, is used to augment the type of sealing you can do, which can range from basic weapon scrolls to chakra capacity.
Base SP and Stat Caps
Each attribute above can have a maximum of ten points placed into it; however, ranking also plays an important role within them. A cap (listed below) is set in order to prevent a player from matching abilities with someone of a much higher rank (I.E. An Academy Student placing ten points into speed and matching that of a Kage).
In order to avoid everyone choosing the higher rank right off the bat, a system has been made that awards more for the effort of ranking up than simply choosing the higher title. To go about this, after a player has chosen their ranking, one will progress through means of [missions] and [role-play bonuses] that help advance a player to reach the needed [Experience Points] in order to rank up. Here is the list of base SP and their stat caps.
Academy Student – 10; Cap is 4/10
Genin – 20; Cap is 5/10
Chuunin – 30; Cap is 6/10
Jounin – 40; Cap is 7/10
Anbu – 50; Cap is 8/10
Kage: 65; – Cap is 10/10
After a rank up, a player receives 10 Stat points [SP] as a minimal number to properly advance to the abilities of the higher; because they successfully ranked up via role-play, they will be awarded 2 SP more (which [accumulates] with ranking) which tally’s up to 12 per rank-up via role-play. Although two may seem insignificant, it’s the combined effort of the rank-ups that make it worthwhile. Simply said, no matter what, ranking up by means of role-play will make you stronger than your higher, default-ranked, peers.
Jutsu Clashes

Conclusion
One can begin at any rank, except for prestigious ranks such as Anbu or Kage, and excel through means of role-play. As stated above, a significant number of times, beginning at a lower tier allows you more possibilities in your character’s prowess.


By the way, @Eric: I already have a "time frame" kind of story. Two, actually. One that proceeds with the canon story after the sage of the six and everything is just clans right now in certain regions of the world, and the second where it's a sort of spin-off from Naruto where the tailed beasts are actually legendary weapons and the sage is known as the Constellation's Blacksmith; essentially a man who was known to even be the ones who molded the stars themselves and so on -- pure legend.

This is certainly all something I could buy into.

While I don't RP anymore I'd say you'd limit the amounts of Kekkei Genkai the players can get. Kekkei Genkai isn't something easy to get in a sudden poof in the Naruto manga. It is limited to quite a few people. Take Kimimaro, Haku, Sakon and so on as an example. Nobody likes a RP Forum with a bunch of Mary Sues/Marty Stus.

Aye I agree mostly.  Strict limit of one KG max per character (not what SL does with the 1 dojutsu and one elemental.  And sometimes more)

I'd say bar the Rinnegan completely except to one user perhaps.  Though with a chakra system it would limit it's devastating power a bit.

I do say that a timeline that takes place before established villages would be fun.

Most of the sites I have been involved with had a cap on Clan Member counts. For example only 3 Uchiha at the whole site, 5 Nara, ect.

This was to limit to many people being of one class and KG were never allowed to be stacked.

For characters that had other special traits such as Sage Mode they were not allowed to be of any clan nor host any form of KG or Hidden Jutsu.

I'm not gonna go into details about Rai's site as I feel it is not my place but from what he has told me I think everyone who joins will find it interesting. And I am most certain he will keep the rp fun and fair for all.

I myself have already started to develop a character, which I hope will fit into the plot of the site once it is chosen and what not.

What about summoning contracts, in SL you have people hogging the animal summons by having two contracts and not letting people sign it all too often. Will there be some way to where you have summoning contracts but also avoid people keeping it for themselves.

Just have it be realistic where the animals hold the contracts? I don't see why we don't do that on SL, I could understand if you invented the blooper shloop creature yourself but it's not like anyone here invented snakes or monkeys.

I'm not bowing to anyone.

I lack the ability to juggle all these things that have been thrown at me in RL right not along with creating a forum and stuff of that sort.

Title: Re: An idea I have been having
Post by: Raifudo Oppa on August 20, 2013, 02:17:47 AM
So I wrote up this system this morning. Lemme know what you guys think; it was on my to-do list from before, but until now did I really see it needed:

Chakra Points = Stamina * 150.
150
300
450
600
750
900
1050
1200
1350
1500

You can only use jutsu if it is within your chakra pool count.
(P.S. I'm thinking of making it so each rank of jutsu that falls within a range [I.E. C ranks are 4-5] can be the difference between a regular jutsu, and an "upgraded" version of that jutsu. For example: Fireball is 4 points. Great Fireball is 5 points. Dunno how it'll work for rank S which is from 7-10 I guess they can pool together and cost 200 each.)

I also have to work on a system for how jutsu can cancel or defeat another. I know elemental affinity will play a part in the formula I'm making. I also have to work on defense and offense jutsu and stats on 'em. Such as using an Earth Wall (rank 4) and then using a great fireball (rank 5). Will it shatter the wall and keep going? Or just shatter the wall. But for now, this:

Stamina needed for jutsu rank:
S: 7-10 (Counts as an 8 for jutsu cost)
A: 7-10
B: 6-10
C: 4-10
D: 2-10
E: 1-10

Chakra Cost = Jutsu Rank * 100 / 4.
E 25
D 50
C 100
B 150
A 175
S 200

(Which means Jounin can crank out 5 S-Rank jutsu total [while using no other jutsu] before collapsing)

If primary element = Jutsu Rank * 100 / 5
E: 20
D: 40
C: 80
B: 120
A: 140
S: 160

(Which means maxed Jounin can crank out 6.5 S-Rank jutsu total [while using no other jutsu] before collapsing)

The scaling seems a bit difficult to balance, but this one - so far - looks pretty good.

I also just realized this goes well with Kakashi who can use his Raikiri (an S-Rank jutsu) six times or more a day before he was done.

Thoughts on the system?

Post by: UettoSenju on August 20, 2013, 05:48:16 AM
system seems good but what of countiues jutsu?
They usually coast a certain amount then a fraction of that per post afterwards.

For example [note not using you scale here but a random one]:

Shadow Possession Jutsu is usually C-rank at most sites and coast like 8 chakra points to start using, then every post after that the Nara still uses said shadow is coast 2 chakra points to maintain.


Your scale on points is just a little larger then I'm use to is all that is why I'm asking how it would work. I'm sure it can easily be made like

C-Rank: 100 points to start the jutsu, 25 points to keep it going.

Really that works well as we saw in the chuunin exam Shikamaru had close to that amount of chakra supply consider a post is generally a few seconds and his fight didn't really last that long.

A Genin that would have two points placed in Stamina would get 300 chakra points if I am reading this correctly. So that would be 9 post of using the standard Nara Jutsu before collapsing.
Title: Re: An idea I have been having
Post by: Luka on August 20, 2013, 05:55:10 AM
In addition to the above mentioned points, Jutsu from Kekkei Genkai are never given a ranking.
Also, since it was being talked about recently, summons. The size of the summon is limited by the amount of chakra put in, as Jiraiya, when drugged, couldn't gather enough chakra together to summon Gamabunta. Summons need ranks.

I'm sure we can agree on something on our own. For instance, no one would call a Kirin-like jutsu B rank or C rank considering the requirements and drawbacks.

Also, if the jutsu seems similar to another jutsu that's canon, we can incorporate that rank.

We can do the formula still but it might need to scale higher or lower based on the continued jutsu rank.

I.E. an S-rank continued would cost 50 instead of 20 for a C rank.

Also, since it was being talked about recently, summons. The size of the summon is limited by the amount of chakra put in, as Jiraiya, when drugged, couldn't gather enough chakra together to summon Gamabunta. Summons need ranks.

We can give KG jutsu a certain chakra cost based on use.

Rank system of boss summons, troop summons, support summons, and so on to determine chakra cost.

At forums everything is generally given a rank so that it can fit into play by terms of chakra coast and what ranks can use the jutsu... it is just something I feel that will have to be done.

Also there are always a few jutsu that as all ranks the summoning tech is generally one of them. Depending on the size and rank of what is being summoned determines what rank of a summon it is and therefor how much chakra is used.... plus a Genin can only usually summon up to a c-rank creature or item, which cost them the standard chakra coast of a c-rank jutsu; while a Kage can summon up to an A-rank summon like the Chief Toad... which would coast them the amount of charka to perform the standard A rank jutsu.

That's what I as getting at make it 1/4 or 1/5 the original chakra coast for ever post it stays in play.... also note these post should be followed up in order.

If you were to be using the jutsu and it got cancled then you had to use it again that means you have to start from scratch and it coast the original amount to perform and ever post after goes to the 1/4 or 1/5 coast.

Simply put you can't use Shadow Possession for three post then not use it for four post then use it again for a discount coast without not once again paying the full amount for the jutsu to be used.

Post by: Eric on August 31, 2013, 01:01:17 AM
No biju as far as tools go. At most, maybe NPC's that you can chat with if they feel like it, but other than that, no need to include biju.

Also, no special weapons for awhile either. People will come up with their own custom stuff (plus the canon stuff too) so I don't think special weapons are much of a necessity.

Overall, I agree with Ratatosk on no need for any sort of 'special' stuff on the level of the biju.

Nothing chaotic about a bunch of custom clans running around imho. :D

However, this is your thing, so a suggestion would be to leave out the 'KG' part of the character creation template, so that players can add it into their characters later on. Make them 'develop' it before just adding it in. If you're concerned about ranks, then make more generic ones:

"Newcomer"  - The fresh meat
"Student"      - Feet still dry, water is cold, just getting off the ground, have character and stuff
"Graduate"    - the equivalent to 'genin'
"Teacher"      - equivalent rank to 'chunin'
"Standard Fighter"  - Equivalent to 'Jounin'
"Veteran"   - Equivalent to 'ANBU' or similarly classed high skill character
"Clan Head" - Most clans would want the most capable in charge
"Village Head"-Eventually folks will make villages, and this is somewhat self explainatory

If you were meaning like, forum 'ranks', then just borrow Neji's. :D

Post by: Zojin on August 31, 2013, 02:59:10 AM
I actually vote for making this a Naruto alternate universe.  Cannon clans like Uchiha & Senju are either removed and replaced by a less OP custom KG for the site, or they can be toned down to pre-shippuden (or in the Senju's case, pre-Hashirama vs. Madara flashback).  I haven't been here all that long and I've already noticed that Bijuu...always start problems and OOC bickering.  Also on a side note, can we make it illegal in the RP to pirate and stack KG?

For custom KG maybe there can be a clan application section where like Eric said, people can create custom clans that can have a KG to go along with it.  These clans can then be open for others to join.  It could be fun to create the "Lulzsocool" clan and have people join and create their character as a fellow clanmate.  That way people who don't have any ideas for a custom KG can just join someone else's clan if they ask the creator and the creator accepts.

Who said that? Maybe out of frustration it's crossed our minds, but who seriously said that?

And the ground up... I'm kind of scared now. The Nara clan is a canon clan...

The fucking karma induced hilarity of people complaining about Rakudo and SL's RP community being in balance is beyond fucking hilarious.

I have always enjoyed rping with a kenjutsu user or taijutsu user. Other than that I usually go Nara Clan member.... but sense I am hoping it will all be made custom I have decided to go with a character that comes from a clan based on black smiths and the usage of weapons.

Won't it just be easier to bringer order in Shinobi Legends RP instead of starting clean? Just voicing my opinion..

Just so you know: I've been a Game Master on several other roleplay forums (not Naruto-related ones) and also have some knowledge of forum functions. When you get it going again, if you want help just say. ^^

That means you have much catching up to do on the whole spectacle that is current SL RP and its regulations and stuff for some, and whack-a-mole swordplay. It was not designed to have as many locks and chains as it has, it was intended to be relatively free from the get-go.

So it would be much more difficult to 'bring order' to SL in the sense that I think you mean.

Well, another idea might be to start a Shinobi Legends Roleplay Forum, which would still be connected to the game (using info like Resets and other such from it) but still have application forms for characters, clans and so on.. An extra wiki made specifically for the forum (separate from Shinobi Profiles) might also help in cataloguing things.

Title: Re: An idea I have been having
Post by: Eric on December 09, 2013, 07:18:09 PM

I do not entirely get it myself. As a *cough* member *cough* of SLS, and one of the consistently active ones, I kind of liked it. It got me introduced into SL RP as we know it today (take that as you please). Had I not joined it, I probably would have still been just playing the game for the novelty of Oro kills.

Nothing wrong with that, but since leveling has gotten so boring lately, I think I wouldn't have stuck around for nearly as long had I not been more involved in the RP. xD After all, I was kind of lost coming back and seeing everything sort of changed. Reborn this, reborn that, Konoha civil war resolved through out of realm action...? Whaaa...

Anyways, it was really confusing, so SLS was a nice place to start getting me into regulated RP. The reason it is talked about so badly at times, I believe, is really because of what it represented. I mean, just the name alone suggested that we were trying to be better than everyone else in SL. (We were not, but you know rumors and misunderstandings).

Plus, we kind of took the SLS RP back here to SL as well after the site lost some of its luster, and to this day a decent portion of people have resented that action. Tomi would not be a Hokage in SL terms had it not been for the SLS carry-over, for example.

Funny, though. I haven't RPed with Sasuke since they left SLS. Almost homey.

Where did SLS go wrong? Well, the freedom based SL community seeing a select group start making rules and stuff to regulate their RP I guess. Then when we came back, we brought them with us. While not all of the current forum goers are former SLS players, many of them (including myself) are at least familiar with it.

So, as far as the idea goes, it would have to be a continuum completely separate from SL RP in order for it to 'work' per say. And I tellz ya, that's a hassle. I tried starting over again from acadey scratch on another RP site, and I didn't last a month. Too little freedom kind of deal towards custom techs, my ace in the crack hole, and again, starting all the way over...

Soooo, long story short, SLS was a threat that needed to be slashed and hashed and gored because of what was perceived to be understood by it.

The opinions are a bit over the top,  but a breathe of fresh air shouldn't have hurt anything. That's why Kirk is going to do some Spring cleaning with his forum thingy, I think.

I would have to disagree with Eric' synopsis a bit on a select point here and there. Konoha tried to bring SLS to SL. The rest of us did not.

As rules go on SL I am not  fan. It kills creativity and cannot be determined in a fair manner due to a minority trying to bring order to the masses. If the owner ever laid the law down, well that would be different.

Many of the clans used to have their own forums for members to RP in. and some still do.

Personally? I like to wing it. Grb whoever is around and start something. And I like to finish it in one night too.
I am not  a fan of making a post and then waiting all week long for my partner to make a post and then so on and so forth. But that is the fad these days.

What is wrong with this? You get hung up in RP doing something that should take about two hours in real time and ends up lasting over  month to conclude...or more likely...the participants get bored and drop out and it is never resolved.

I have tried to get people to be in more than one place at one time. This is not  big deal save for village defence rps. If I am Rping myself in Kumo then I am not available to defend SUna. Too sad, too bad.

However...if lets say, I am in Iwa training with a sporing partner in the morning...why can I not rp having dinner with someone else even though that spar rp is not done? in game time I am only going to train for 1-2 hours. It only figures I would have dinner later on. I see no reason to be tied up in the training session for a whole month and be out of action for everything else when in the storyline...I was only busy in the morning of such and such a day.

And is the world turned upside down if I go to dinner and spar?
hardly...

It called trying to apply forum rules to a non-forum game. Which is why SLS failed as it should have just separated itself from SL all together. Regardless I don't think we need to dig up old arguments.

Will it be a free forum hosting site like  freeforums.org?
I don't like such long and stupid urls.
I'm googling a few sites that offer free hosting and I came up with this:
http://www.biz.nf/
http://www.freehostingeu.com/
http://www.biz.ly/
http://www.000webhost.com/
FreeDomain.co.nr
Dot.tk
Dot.cf

So I hope they work if you use them.
