What you propose simply means that members can start off with a possibility of five or so techniques, a few of them fairly powerful. That's still pushing for the "I want compensation for having been a member longer" to me.

what about making the following change:

"Using the points you earn from now until then, you may start with any techs on the list (excepting powerups) that you can afford as long as their total does not surpass the reward you are given"

I'm making various proposals just to get a feel of things, and this does not necessarily mean "this is what we are doing".

As far as I'm concerned, this is currently just me throwing things out of my ass, as this may be something every single staffer other than myself is against.

I personally like it.

Aye, but what you're proposing is not the 'Some non-powerup abilties will carry over' I was banking on. According to what you've said, it's within the new rating system, so it is effectively just doing what Aqua said and starting four months early. It's not a bonus or anything - people will be earning these rewards, then switching characters. That's all it is. And it's no reason, IMO, to just discard the old idea of being allowed to keep some old techs.

I do want to keep some of the old techs I've earned. Like you said, it's kind of saying I'm SOL for earning stuff recently.

18's suggestion is quite nice (though I would prefer two old techs instead of one. ). Like I said, this new system isn't a bonus in any way - it's just opening up the doors early to this new system. So I wouldn't really count it towards the compensatory stuff.
