Village Square / Re: Claimed list restructuring

The thought of everyone getting what they want is really a turn off. The idea of SL excited me because there was this sense of...exclusivity when it came to the unique canon items that we saw in the Manga. "Only one person has Kusanagi? What? There are only nine biju amidst the entire game? This is insane...it's almost like there is a mythology about this site and people are truly unique and can have legacies linked to these claims."
Coming from the fanon where there are 11 different nine tail hosts and a million users of flying thunder god (Obvious exaggerations, but like not really) it was truly refreshing to think that the items of worth were coveted and their legends maintained despite the arguments that can revolve around them. Not only that but people still get the chance to create their own techniques and tools if they couldn't get something canon.
Of course the idea of people sitting on claims just so others can't use them is...ridiculous to say the least. It ruins the spirit of the game entirely, but it's not the case for every item. I went out and earned the Yata mirror and Kusanagi...I fought, argued and planned for hours and ended up getting what I strove for. I'm sure if I wanted, I could go out and pick some other claim and do exactly the same, I just have to be willing to endure the tribulation. Though what if one of those tools was a SSMS? Looking at the village defenses, there was no feasible way of infuriating without them inexplicably noticing me despite any and every precaution I took. They wouldn't accept challenges for them, because tools have no rules enforcing a challenge system, I'm certain they wouldn't trade for them Ect Ect. They were actively making it impossible to get their swords. I even talked to someone who was trying to get into the group, and after almost a year they still did not have a sword. What's left at that point? When all else has failed and the rules have been broken, they must be stripped.
From my experience, the claims list is not broken, and Sl's method of claims in general is not broken. It was simply one group of individuals who couldn't obey and got punished for it. EZPZ.
