PRBatman90 (06:18:10): " There are some things that the Adminly Duo has asked I leave out."

From a friend.

Okay, the duh question.
I plan on changing to a transformer. If I were to do this with a custom character, would I have to change my look at anytime throughout 'transforming'? I know it defeats the idea, but yeah.. wanting to know.
Edit: This is just more-so, I like androids, but I dont like the idea of buying a power up =\ I know I can earn it, but eh.
Obviously, we create what are custom characters look like, is there a restriction to this? I cant choose Ruroni kenshin, and just rename him right? or no?
There's one thing I dont understand though. What's wrong with the current stat system? No I don't know all the details, but a real answer would be nice? Y'all say it's impossable to catcht he super powers, but.. doesnt make sense to me. Look at Burter for example; He's only been here for about 3 years now, yet he's up there with Rei, and rad somewhat, who have both been here since CDBZ started. I dont see how its impossable?
Will we keep the current Artistic Interpertation system? Like.. someone says "this is what he looks like" when he joins, and then awhile later, said person is like.. "this is what he looks like now", would it have to at least resemble the first pic? Unless their appearance was somewhat altered otherwise(IC)?
I know staff doesnt like people switching to saiyans for the obvious reason, will there be a restiction on races? Myself and Bulma were discussing this on XTC forums like.. week and a half, two weeks ago and Im curious. I dont want to see 3784329784 saiyans running around, I'd seriously wanna gain power just so I could slaughter them all and make them leave the RPG =(
I had more questions, but I cant think of them atm, and Ill think of more later. Though, I do agree with Aqua, I enjoy writing, but not when I know that my character work is going to be erased(I have it all on word, but still). Is there something that will keep us going?
EDIT OMG >=O I clicked wrong buttong. Wtf.
edit2: delete this post please. =(

GG - See the updates at the beginning of the thread.
As for stats, the big one for me is the proactive rewards (AS LONG AS THEY ARE DONE RIGHT YOU BETTER GOD DAMN WELL DO IT RIGHT STAFF I DON'T WANNA SEE QUANTITY>QUALITY I DON'T WANNA HAVE IT BE A MINISCULE INCREASE >=[). It's nigh-impossible for people to catch up. Also, the reason that Rad and Rei's stats are closer to Burter's than they should be is because I believe the starting newbie stats were upped to make it not so horribly unfair.

Waff said some form of our stats would transfer over. Though details would be wonderful.

I don't know what 'sliding scale' crap Aqua's talking about.
People who have been RPing here before the switch will -probably- get a small benefit, but bloated stats such as those of us in the top ten (and power-ups) will all be eschewed.
It's essentially like we're pulling the pack way closer together.
Lots of stuff is still being hashed out.
(STAFF: Delete this if it's too... whatever. I think I'm not really compromising anything by saying this)

This is what I was getting at, I know all the details havent been worked out, but some more information would be nice <3
I also love how people seemingly only rea dthe last paragraph of my post. Good job people, good job.

It's up to you. Change your appear when you transform or don't.

You have to be approved before you join, so obviously all the copy-cat characters would be refused

We like the new system better? I don't know what to tell you.

Major changes would probably be less likely, but there will be more freedom with character images like that. Although you will be encouraged to not use pictures of major, famous characters. Cloud, Goku, Naruto, etc. People tend to base their character around the character of the image they've selected... and that's not at all what we're going for here.

We're not setting a limit at this time.
Extremely Important - Aqua - 01-09-2007
By sliding scale, im saying that it sounds like you guys will take the base ki levels, convert them to fit the new system, and throw ou transformations. Non transforming moves will be kept, and transformations will be replaced by some form of statistical compensation I'm assuming.
@ Bra: I'f we're brining the pack together, then one might say that we are sliding the scale of power to a different statistical format. I don't think my termonology is "crap."
btw, thanks a lot waff for taking the time to clarify all of this stuff.
Extremely Important - Bra - 01-09-2007
Dude, that's just how I talk.
Don't take any offense to it or whatever, 'cause that's not how I mean it.
But yeah, I'm not quite 100% yet on -how- it works. This technical stuff is hard for me to keep up on all the time, y'know?
Anyway, I'm sure someone'll answer it more... concisely than I have.

No worries. I'm just wanting to clarify. I know it may not seem like it sometimes, but I have a busy life. I dont play video games, i don't have a hang out spot, I don't have any other hobbies besides this. When I'm not in school, with my family/ friends/ GF, studying, working training for track. or doing research this is how I spend my time. As dorky as that sounds, I don't really care. I have a couple hours to myself in a day and I enjoy losing myself in an interactive story myself and new friends have created. So when something like this happens on a site I RP on (cause this one is the only one I currently write on), I care about the specifics. Because, as you can see, I need to determine if this change is something that will render this site worth my time or not. It seems like it has some good points, I'm just trying to be specific so I can make up my own mind about something staff has been working on for a while. Hopefully, the things that myself and others have brought up help in the adjustment process.

Aqua think of it this way. You're character is pretty much custom as it is, you could probably somehow carry over when this happends.
Extremely Important - Captain Silver - 01-09-2007
Okay. Seeing how Greg 100% believes in this. So do I. You guys better not be lying. =(
Extremely Important - Aqua - 01-09-2007
Well waff said we could keep our cannon chars, so it isn't that particular issue that vexes me. At this point, I'm kind of just curious about how current stats will be converted to the new system. For example, if we are switching to new stats all together and just using the base ki level to determin older chars new starting ki level under this new system, has anyone considered the possibility of someone just boosting their INT from now till the system switch in April, and getting a lot of non transforming moves before the system switch?
As I understand it, everyone is going to find themselves a lot closer ki level wise. I'm just curious about the statistical specifics. What stats are carrying over, which are being thrown out, what new stats will effect ki level, etc etc.
ergo -> specifics?

This thread was created to help us along in the development of this project. We needed to know what we should address and how we should go about this from this point. We have pretty solid plans and a very creative team working on it, but we don't have all the details. I'm sorry about that but if we did then we would be putting this into action, not just giving you guys the warning about it. And really, it's still far off and anything could happen.
One of the complaints about the way this RPG is run was that we don't tell people about what we're planning, and historically it was because someone always has a problem with it. I've been sent as the public relations guy, so I'm doing my best to inform you guys of what we're planning.
Extremely Important - Aqua - 01-09-2007
I understand Waff. I've cooled off. Just trying to get whatever answers I can so I can make up my mind about staying here or not.
Extremely Important - Android-18 - 01-09-2007
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.
Extremely Important - Super Buu - 01-09-2007
Quote:Originally posted by Android-18Not to refute the word of a staffer, but it says in the first post 'Non-powerup abilties will carry over'. I'm guessing that Waff's right, but ... don't kick the base of the tower. That fact is part of what's keeping me from flipping out like a mouse trap ninja. >_>
