Uhm...something just occurred to me.
You think they sit around and think this stuff up so no one will find them...
Heh, that is kind of the point of not advertising who your jinchurikii is, isn't it? As a village frequently terrorrized (back in the day, nowadays yall got it fairly straight) by random attackers, you have increased reason to make it fairly difficult to locate and target your jinchurikii. It makes perfect RP sense, as you state, and I don't have an issue with it in the context of just RP sense.
But RP sense alone is not what the old rules were about, and many of the new ones do not quite have the same spirit of the pure RP perspective. Hosts under the old rules were mandated to fight for the beasts, so if they are in a situation where they don't fight for the beast even though there are challengers, that was an issue, nevermind that it made RP sense. If the host did not make RP conditions that the challenger could use to feasibly get the beast without having to do an entire LotR session (which would take RL years or even a year on SL scheduling), then under the old rules, that was
wrong.
As I once again put forth, if the beasts were meant for everyone to have a fair chance at getting them, then yes, the host (and by extension the village) would have to accomodate in a manner that is not necessarily befitting the RP aspect of the beast.
If the beasts were only meant for the best to even have a chance at (as has been voiced here at least once) it is completely acceptable to have difficult RP circumstances, either by design or accident, that would by itself weed out most of the SL populace. In the latter case (and only the best get a chance at the beast case) I would consider Warren (and the whole 1-tails matter) to have been the perfect example of what a jinchurikii
should be like, because it takes a level of RP that is beyond the average RPer of today's time and aptitude limits. If the beasts were meant for everyone to have a chance though, he is the perfect example of what a jinchurikii
should not be like, because the conditions (by RP circumstances largely out of his character's control) are simply too difficult for the average RPer of today to get past, based on information provided in a much earlier topic regarding what it would take to even find out that Warren is the host.
I feel a chakra out there. It is eric. If I have never sensed eric's chakra before then I can't go around acting like I know it is eric...I can tell you someone is there. period.
Depending on the skill of the sensor and if you have ever encountered a Leaf Nara before, you can identify that I was born in Fire Country and am of the Nara Clan. If you know that there are only 9 Leaf Nara in existence (heck, there are even fewer players of that breed) then you can postulate that I am one of the nine at the very least. Similarly, if you know what a tailed beast's chakra is like, you can identify that it is a tailed beast. While specifics are up for grabs, that is a huge step in biju hunting when it comes to finding the target.
There sole reason for existing is to be a prize to be fought over and won.
The meta plot of Naruto Shippuden in a nutshell, with the latter arcs focusing on the beasts as personal beings for plot reasons (bonding with Kurama, fulfilling prophecy).
They weren't dragonballs, but the fight over them and their power was most if not all of shippuden (due to the Akatsuki being the major antagonists over Oro being the major antagonist).
But seriously, that's been the discussion on the biju by and large for a long time now. Discussions on "how" to use the beasts in RP has been a fragment discussion here and there (Dart's thread for example). For Shinobilegends, that
is their sole reason for existing since they are nothing special in a free RP-style kind of realm (beasts with a bunch of chakra? Call my homey in the coffin and put it in its place) and many jinchs (out of fear of their beast being discovered or otherwise) rarely seem to use them in character development or in RP at all for that matter.
