So to reiterate this is JUST an idea that had come across my mind after reading through the whole, "Lets nerf everyone everywhere" thread, which I can both agree and disagree with, but my topic isn't necessarily about that, It's just an Idea that came through my head as i read the board,
So one of the original points in starting the nerf topic was that new players were getting "swept under the rug" right? This was brought to light with the information that learning proper RP rules/ developing a style could take years, as well as the whole "Resets = Rp" thing, which I do not agree with,
But I think a better way for us (as a ROLEPLAYING site) to decrease the amount of swept under the rug players is to actively regulate actual Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, Hyuuga, Nara, Inuzuka, etc etc clans, using the clans to help spawn new players whom wish to be of these decents, and training them up as such, to improve upon Rp legitimacy (as far as KG go) and to help bring up the lower ranking players, as well as giving us higher players something to do, albeit "Slice-of-life" role playing. This -in my opinion- would really help the site in a roleplay manner, and i'm aware that most of these clans already exist, though I think they should be emphasized on, they all be made separate clans even if they operate within a clan, (such as the Senju operating within Konoha, There'd be the Senju clan to regulate actual members of the Senju clan, but they could still rp within Konoha as the home base, i'm sure anyone reading this understands what I mean) This way anyone who wanted to be born an Uchiha or a Senju could actually come to someone and be like "hey can I be born this?" and then an rp could be worked out from there, parents chosen or whatever and the character could be born, rp train to awaken his/her whatever KG, and then train it up as such.
Of course all of this would take active members to accomplish. That's the only way to hold anything together on the site would be rp activity, people gotta get up and get active with stuff if they want to enjoy the rp, we can't just sit around and complain about not enjoying it if nothings really being done in actuality to enjoy this site.
I personally love this site. It's a really good way to bring out one's imagination and forms of expression and I wouldn't want to nerf that, I feel like there are ways outside of nerfing to bring up the community, and that is the community. We'd have to come together and actually become active lol.
I mean, maybe i'm just rambling. but I feel like an idea such as this would work out, or could be improved upon and implemented, of course that would be up to us as a community to decide, which would be the point of the forum.. so here I am!
