Questions about proposed changes

Seniority =/= productivity over time

Beyond that correction, I'm having a hard time figuring out what you're saying.

Ok, so basically what I'm saying is that the purchased PL should be a fighter determiner along with writing (obviously writing or you would never fight anyone lawl).

I think that allowing PL to be both purchasable AND the main thing that determines fights has many benefits and is much preferable to making CL the bread winner.

If you have the option of raising your raw skill, buying new items, techs and customs, you will have more control over both the RP development of your character and the OOC context of your writing.

Most people don't RP their characters at the designated, "prescribed" PL that you just get from being here. Victoria RPs lower. In many cases, other RP higher. The WRITER should have control over how much physical might their character has but still have to EARN it.

I don't think that the vast majority of people here would jsut SPAM buying PL. They would round their characters and think of how they wanted to use them and how they interact with the world.

EDIT: Also, by just making CL the thing that decides the winner you're just setting the new system up for the EXACT same thing that this system has. You're giving the win to seniority immediately, right off the bat. If people are given the option to purchase PL then you're giving them the OPTION to allow their seniority to win the fight, but you're also letting them balance their sheer fighting skill with custom techs, items and etc by choosing to spent their hard earned prestige on other things.
