Veteran`s view on the Turnover - Tamsin - 05-12-2007
This is directed to those members who have been roleplaying on Chubbs for a substantially long time. 1-2 years onward.
What is your view on the Turnover? I mean, you are the ones who will lose the most from this drastic change of the RPG. Your storylines, your characters...all of your hard work will be more or less nullified by this.
Basiclly, how are you feeling this move from canon to custom?

Ever RPG need's a refresh.
Veteran`s view on the Turnover - Yamu - 05-12-2007
Honestly...I'm pretty excited for it. All the new stuff just looks like it will create a more in depth game, and world to write in. Also, I will love having the continuity of only one person owning any character. Man, it gets confusing after a couple years.
I do have a hang-up. I really like Yamu. I dunno why, I have just put so much of myself into him, that he is almost a part of me. I identify myself with Yamu.
The only reason this is a problem, is that I feel to get the most out of the Turnover you need to switch to custom. I really don't want to toss Yams to the wayside...but I also don't want to keep him and lose all the techniques and powerups that have become part of his character. Anyone who has gone through the KK training knows what I'm talking about, that process becomes part of the character. So, it feels like ruining my character to keep him...but I don't want to lose him either.

I don't mind. There are more people losing a lot more than me. Plus, yes a fresh start, clean slate. It will be interesting, and hopefull, everything will work out. I'm also for the time skip. 5-10 years, though I'm leaning towards 5-6.

Actually i really want to keep Minoshia because i've grown attached to him, and i kinda want to try to be the "Big Evil" Character after Turnover.
But the only reason i'm thinking about going custom is starting a new storyline, which is weird to me because i always thought starting another storyline entirely would suck.

After coming to understand it a little more, i don't mind it anymore. Items, money, stats....it doesn't matter. The true test of a writer is being able to adapt to change.
Veteran`s view on the Turnover - Dave - 05-13-2007
Well, if I would have never run into the bumps in he road I have in the past I would have had a charcter that I would have earned a lot for, but since I've had so many bumps in my past it was kinda hard for me to keep a character. So I've been on here since 04-05 and havent had a solid character, besides Bujin because I earned Spirtken...but thats not that hard to obtain. Anyways, yeah just like most people say, every RPG needs a nice refreash, all in all, I'm looking forward to the Turnover.

You do know that you don't have to go custom. It's totally your choice. I'm keeping Gokua, so my storyline is the same and my character is the same. Point is: If you don't want your story progression to be in vain, stay canon.
Veteran`s view on the Turnover - Yamu - 05-13-2007
It's not that black and white, Gokua. Most, if not all, or my characterization of Yamu revolves around his abilities. It is not as easy for me to 'Just keep Yamu' because after the Turnover he will be different. I can write the how and why, but he is still irrevocably changed from the person he is now.

Yes, but all the items and tehniques will be removed. Experienced players tend to have a lot of items and at least some form of power-up. Characters will also grow substaintially weaker.

I'll put it like this...any chance the staff will give me in order to play a black dbz character then I'm all for it. Besides Gohan said it best...every rpg needs a refresh. Plus this will stop people from switching characters.
With a custom you're basically free to do whatever.
Veteran`s view on the Turnover - Kaden - 05-13-2007
I'll be honest, I'm pretty pissed about losing everything I've gained over the long, long, long years. I've put a lot of development into how Rad got a lot of his abilities and how he learned to use them. I don't have any idea how I'd approach Rad suddenly being so much weaker, and its something I'm still thinking on.
That said, I have complete and absolute confidence that the Turnover material will be that much more interesting to RP with.

Exactly. You phrased that a lot better then I did.
Veteran`s view on the Turnover - Sullivan - 05-13-2007
I totally agree with Yamu and Rad. I also believe that for something like this to work, one must put TOTAL confidence into it. That said, I'm doing just that. I have utter faith in this turnover giving pros that strongly overpower the cons.
