If so;

Spontaneous
Some people like to plan and strategize and have everything fit perfectly into place. And then there's those people who live in the moment, with never a thought to as to where their next step may take them. In chaotic situations, a person with this trait really shines, but they're really at a loss in structured events and conflicts.

Of course, the counterpoint would be;

Planner
Wake up at 7. Brush teeth and 7:15. Out the door by 7:30. There's nothing more pleasant than a well-structured day, for people with this mentality. They like to line up their days like ducks in a row, perfectly align and within reason. When things go accorsing to plan, they're at their peak. However, a single-monkey wrench thrown into the mix may just throw this person off his or her game.

Abilities: Is it possible to create a custom ability?

If so;

Mind Warp - A relative to the more-mundane Telepathy, this ability allows a user to change how others view the world around them. With the proper application, a user could literally make a mountain out of a molehill. A strong-willed or skeptical target may be able to see through the effects, however.

Arigato in advance!]]>

In the RPG's current state, there are a lot of game system roadblocks preventing potential activity. I don't want to beat a dead horse. Life happens (especially to me, far too often than not which is why I don't have time to do this too often) and I don't expect the mod/player base to spontaneously energize just because I have a timely desire to put my pen to paper.

What I would like to do, is act as a free man. Years either lurking or active at CDBZ have educated me in it's ways. All I am asking for, are the keys to drive a story (and co-operate with the willing) inside these forum walls. I have a learned grasp on the rules, the atmosphere, and the limitations that make up the gaming experience here. I'd like to propose and initiate Ghost Modding. That is creative license for responsible parties to account for mod updates (besides grading) without supervision and outside of the system - until activity resumes, or the board dies, or I fizzle out (far more likely).

I'm willing to do this with the possibility that all progress may be moot after the fact, or (ideally) be accounted for and judged retroactively to determine competitive status if we ever have active fights or sagas again.

Of course, I am free to do this in Microsoft Word in my own time but for me, a big part of the fun at Chubbs (ironically too, the catalyst of inactivity) was the commitment. Grinding at that post, engaging parts of your brain that were normally asleep (or SHOULD have been, anyway) made it worthwhile and exciting when you saw the Earth forum change color because your new post was live.

I'm incredibly thankful for the chapters of my life that were written in small doses here and I just want to give back in the only way I know how: by writing at Chubbs, just because.

What say you revered Chubbs deities? *provides Waffle offering*]]>

Now I understand the desire to stay relevant and up-to-date so to speak in the internet world. The forum change and HUBB approach...Those changes don't appear to have made any significant difference though. At least in terms of activity. I think in the effort to find it's place in the internet once again CHUBBS lost what it was.

Do you remember when there was a time people would watch who's online to see who's browsing? Refresh the page to be the first to read a reply or new thread. Whether it be made by staff or another member. When staying up to chat about games and shows and writing ideas was almost as important to you as getting up for school or work in the morning. Some days even more. What has changed?

Sure the community as a whole has grown. We are in different stages of our lives now. Some with careers, others with relationships or families of their own. Some without now. All new things that consume time and attention that some of us feel leaves no room for chubbs. How much time does it really take though? I believe that just because we can't browse all night and look at new sigs or bullshit or argue values and politics doesn't mean we can't do it anymore. Moderation is the key to success in those areas.

Speaking of moderation. There currently 11 different accounts dedicated to staff-like duties. Updates, approvals, things of that nature. 2 are purely for storyline purposes. Another 2 are limited to specific forums to moderate their contributions to the HUBB movement. Besides Orion and Vad who does what? Yes, at this current point in time when there is nothing to update there is nothing to do. However when there was this was still the case. People were told to just write on but in some cases you couldn't and it was like the idea of that possibility was just tossed to the wayside.

I've touched on this before and don't want to argue over it again. I'm simply voicing my opinion from a unorganized perspective, bear with me.

The main reason I started this thread was in the hopes of inspiring a few. Not all of you though I'm not against that idea. If Chubbs is going to die let it die as Chubbs, where role-playing content mattered more than the random content within over complicated forum structure and misc back stories. Join me in an rp. I've got two characters. I'll accept any concepts, brainstorm, spar, square dance or space ballet. It doesn't even HAVE to be me. Just write. Once you do you will feel better. Out of the video games and movies that are used to escape reality, none satisfy as much as being able to sit there and look at 500-1000 words of your ideas and be able to say, "I did that".

.:queue inspiring morpheus speech music:.

Let's shoot fireballs and fly or phase through walls, morph into weapons that bludgeon our enemies or sniper someone a hundred yards away. There was a time when this is what you wanted. If that wasn't the case you would've joined another community or wouldn't have joined one at all. There are some of you who still want these things. Some of you who express yourselves better in writing than any author or therapy group could influence. Why? Because deep down it makes you happy. At the end of the day, regardless of how much effort it took to write or how you feel about your writing. Knowing you're a part of something bigger just brings about feelings few activities can mimic. Unless you're an olympic athlete or a politician how else will you leave your mark on the world? Like the heiroglyphs of egypt and the markings of the mayans, let us put finger to key and leave our mark on the internet. Chubbs may not be the biggest. It may not be the most active. But after decades of dominance what can top it's presence? After decades of sabotage and attempts to take it down what has succeeded?Let us remind the world why it has lasted this long! LET US SHOW THE WORLD HOW ROLEPLAYING SHOULD BE DONE!! THIS IS CHUBBS...AND WE ARE STILL HERE!!!]]>

You guys decided to build a 'hub'(?) and expand things, but you guys still left something untouched and unfixed.

In the Chubbs area there is this thing called the League. You as Staff allowed a staff member to create it with the end result of Season 1 being Top rank 1 and 2 getting their badges and Top Rank 1 getting the Zeni.

There are SO many fights left unjudged from the end of the first half and all of the second half. Doe said he judged all he could but that still leaves 1/2 more judges for the fights.


The fights need to be judged in order and ELo adjusted via the way it should...



I'm sorry if I come off as a dick, but I know I've posted about this before, but this is getting annoying that it seems all you guys do is ignore the problem you allowed to be created.(This isn't an accusation. Nor is it an attack, but the chain of it lies towards you. And I know when you read this you will feel attacked and ignore me or ewanna attack me but... the simple fact is... There is no use... I'm not actually wrong here, and the situation needs to be fixed.)]]>

Can I please have my 'Rebnik' account changed to 'Rayne'? I'm going to use it in the new RPG and I don't really have any reason to use an OOC account, considering I can just use this one or that one.

I did try to make a new one but the forum hates me, so I'd just rather use an existing one.

While my main issue towards Meer is the League, because it seems he shows no interest in it, I have to commend him on his idea of starting it.

I enjoyed it. Its actually the only writing I have done really... since I broke my leg. (I Did write a peice and was working on it for my next IC post but my computer got wiped).

I love the whole... 'FUCK You top teir bitches and giving an underdog a chance' type thing.

If Meer doen't have any interest in actually continuing the League, I'd like to have a try at taking over. I'd create a decent judging system close to Meer's own, and all that. Maybe actually spice things up.

It's something I'd really like to do.... By the way...Is there anyway we can know when our fights are gonna get judged? There are 2 icons promised to the top 2 ranked members annd a zeni reward to number 1.

By The Way. I have Challenged Alex UNofficially to a Flashback fight as the end to the League Season 1. Retane vs A17. I hope no one minds.... but we haz unfinished busniess... If it is a problem just say so =/]]>
