What if you were allowed to insert your history into a custom character, and simply roleplay as if your custom had done all of the things that your canon had?
Not saying we're planning to do this, I'm simply curious.

It's just not the same krill.
Extremely Important - Burter - 01-10-2007
What would be the difference? I'd still have him look almost exactly like Burter. I'm sure Broli would keep the same basic appearance. Same with Bulma.
You're making a big deal out of a small one.
I make Burter into a custom character, all I do is make him green. That's it.

Because that's retarded. Bra is -my- character. Someone who just happens to have the same life experiences as Bra but isn't actually Bra is some lame-ass copout character who doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
I would think about that every day. While that may not seem to be a large problem for you, it would be something that stared me in the face every single time I sat down to write an RP.
I just couldn't pull past something like that.

Alright. You're die-hard canon, then.
Like Broli said, it's not so much switching to a custom that it is switching at all.

You will be able to keep your canon but they will still be required to follow the MIA rules. If you lose them they're gone and you can only rejoin as a custom.
That's the official ruling as of now.
Extremely Important - Broli - 01-10-2007
It's not the same. I know that doesn't really give you the answer you're looking for.
I've been Hildegarn, Cell, and Broli. Do I consider all three of them the same character? Not at all. As Cell, I earned my x20 powerup and did a personal saga similar to the Fight to Regain Vegeta-Sei. I participated in staff storylines and the like.
Even so, I've yet to consider my characters of Hildy, Cell, and Broli as the same. Regardless of the fact that it's been the same person doing the writing, I still hold distincit and different characters in my mind.
Changing to a custom character would be as significant as changing from Hildegarn to Cell, or Cell to Broli. You're not just changing an appearance.
Extremely Important - Broli - 01-10-2007
In regards to the latest ruling, why are canons outside of player control being eliminated completely? And furthermore, when I go on my 12 week hiatus as I've done for the past 3 years, will I be able to resume control of Broli?

Okay, serious question then.
What if I change and make him green. Does that make him custom? What does? Changing his name? Making him short?
This is just so fucking stupid, and unfair to those of us who don't want to give up what we've done. You say this RPG is done for fun, and the switch is to enhance the fun, but you're effectively sucking it away

Quote:Originally posted by KrillinI could ask the same thing in reverse. Why can't you just let canons stay, but edit their history to be however they like? It's a name. I don't see the big deal. Why the sudden want to exorcise all traces of canon names from the RPG? It's never been a problem before.

Broli. Chances are the stepping away thread would still be applicable.
At least, I'm under this assumption. If it's not, we've got to seriously re-think this.
Extremely Important - Broli - 01-10-2007
Exactly who is making these rulings anyway? I want names. I'm not looking to harass anyone, I just want to know who is behind the rulings.

Me too, since I've the highest ranked staffer online right now and I've got absolutely no idea

I'm happy with the change, but I wince when I think of all the effort I put into rasing my Det...

Same, if I didn't already make that clear.

If you post with a good reason, such as your 12 week job, you can be exemped.
And they're being NPC'd because the goal is to eventually go all customs, so instead of simply kicking everyone out of their characters we're going to slowly phase the canons out.

But why? >.>
I'm just surprised that Chubbs has jumped from the idea of even allowing custom characters to making everyone custom.

For what point? To avoid the MIA ruling? To make him custom you need to start with a new history.
