It just occurred to me, because sometimes I am ponderous of thought, that a huge issue here is what to do when a jutsu's power is in direct conflict to the fair rules of gameplay.

Do we stick to the major rules of RP we have upheld over the years of SL rp? Or do we let the power of the jutsu supersede all else and every other consideration?

1] No god modding
2] No metagaming
3] No Character control
4] No retro-posting
5] No attack on an entrance post

I am sure there are others we use as standards by which to rp.

But what happens when my jutsu lets me metagame or character control? Is fair game play suddenly thrown out the window?

What are your thoughts on the matter?

So to be honest the spotlight rule is [3] Character control.

Solution: Use the body as a puppet and don't rp as the character. Simple and easy.

We nerf the jutsu till it fits, generally. Koto is a great example to bring up on that. Ussually, if it is allowed anyways, it generally requires eye contact. Those who don't allow it period are completely inflexible on the character control rule, despite the fact that hypnotic genjutsu is literally designed to do such.

I can't think of any other examples off the top of my head, but yeah.

How is genjutsu handled nowadays?

It's hardly handled. Flash of sharingan, and most generic genjutsu are instantly done.

I mean, what is the standard rules when casting genjutsu? Just curious.

Well, it's been a long time since I've seen a standard genjutsu battle, but generally, when folks cast genjutsu, you either counter it, break it, or fight through it. The genjutsu would be cast unless its"triggers" are prevented, or unless there is some genjutsu prevention technique in usage.

Sort of like ninjutsu, where if you have no defense against it, it hits, and you then have the choice of how to remedy the effects.

Genjutsu on SL is like Latin in real life.

The problem as stated is that sharingan negates almost all genjutsu. The only kind that I've seen anytime in the past year is via sound waves.

Yeah, cause there were not many examples of taste nor smell based genjutsu in the series, canon or filler. I haven't seen many people try to negate their sense of smell as of  late...
