Even if you stay until the switch that's still a lot of time. Actually, our only real timeframe set is we'd like to be done before January 1st, 2008. Once all the systems are complete there is still coding and testing and so much to be done.

But using this new system, "being equal" will last what.. a week? a month? If someone can spout off 5 RPs a day for a month+ of relativly good quality, they'll become a super power in no time.
I understand that they worked for it, but eh. Just seems like its contradicotry in a sense.
Edit: Supes, he said abilities, not moves. Abilities would be.. like you being rubber and being able to strech. Or haveing sai sei regen >_> Moves is a catagory by itself.

Aqua, I'm pretty sure all stats will be reset, we may not have ki, but a different way of measuring power. It'll be completely different from what we have now. As for techs, well, I doubt anyone will keep those, but compinsation is likely.
EDIT: The point is that everyone will be equal, we hope.
Waff said to me, more than likely we'll keep our abilities, just not powerups.

Please wait until you've seen the new system before you criticize it. We will not impliment a system that is unfair.

The new system will be built to last years, unlike this one. It'll depend on various variables, but mainly focus on RPing.

Abilities is like Raikenesis and Teleportation.
Powerups is like Supersaiyajin.

This is starting to sound more and more shaky. Pretty much, here is what I'd look to happen if I were to stay (this isn't me being forceful, im just being clear).
-I'd get to keep my char, his history, his non trnasforming moves, and everything else aside from specific stats
-the stats would convert in some way so as to make the power earned thus far not completely mute and null. aka, a conversion ratio, sliding scale, whatever you wanna call it.
Basically, if those above things are all happening, I'm for everything else. If not, I'd like to know so I can just move on now and not waste any more of my time.

No the stats would be gone, set to like 1. You'd keep your character, history, and possibly some techs.

The stats will be like... not the stats anymore. Abilities will affect your power though and will be able to be carried over.

As long as our abilities arn't wiped, discluding powerups, I'm cool.
Edit: Cool Waff.

So our items, money, and stats will be wiped leaving us with nothing to show fo the time we've vested in Chubbs save for vague IC references to characters that, on average, won't even exist any more because their users will be switching to custom chars? I can't believe some of you older chars are ok with this. Every power boosting effort you've ever made on this site will be rindered a waste of time by this change. Yeah, i know we are supposed to play here for the sake of writing but in the end this IS a GAME where power is the ultimate indicator of progress. I'm not so thrilled at the prospect of being told that all the rewards for the hours of writing I've done will be erased. I'd like a little more than a character vault reference in my history to show for my efforts. I would think most of the older chars would feel the same if not even stronger... but i guess it's just me.

I've been a member for 7 years, not only that but I helped develop Chubbs into what it is today- I can say with absolute confidence that this is the best thing to happen. An evolution like this has been long in coming, and will bring diversity to the RPG that hasn't been seen before.

But how is the inclusion of customs (which I assume to corrilate with your diversity reference) to come at the cost of any semblance of statistical carry over? That is to say... why not covert stats and include everything else as planned? You can easilly work something out such that people's base ki is converted into the new system such that they are rewarded for past work but not untoutchable.
I respect your longevity here, i just don't see the benefit in your reasoning for me as an individual RPer.

Not entirely, as said before. Items, stats and money will go!

It's really boring at the top. This is not an RPG about picking daisies, it's an RPG about an epic power struggle that no longer exists.
I mean, you have to admit that the current system is flawed when sagas are run and the stats are completely ignored. We want the stats to be a reflection of your character, your roleplaying activity and quality NOT a reflection of how long you've been here, as they currently are.
