Questions about proposed changes

[Sigfried Hunin]

AD wasn't a copy of Chubbs. Chubbs shouldn't blanket copy AD's system. There are lots of similarities between the sites and lots of ideas that can be cross-transferred, but one is a DBZ site and the other was a crossover site. Now, if Chubbs wanted to ditch the DBZ motif altogether, then I'd suggest some of the ideas I've been building up for AD.2, but I don't think the majority of people want to totally separate from DBZ.

(As a total side-note, and not just in response to Sigfried, I twitch a little bit every time someone compares something from AD to something else, even though it's dead)

AD is TOTALLY a copy of Chubbz. It used the same themes, ideas and rules to complete a different goal. That's like saying that True 20 isn't a copy of D&D. It is. It's got the same stuff, different flavor and tweaked enough that it works really fuckin well.

Look at the powers we have on this site. Look at the things we're trying to do with them and the things that have already been done with them. It's not DBZ, it's not even CLOSE other than the use of ki and the occasional big explosion.

I don't know how many people have looked at piper's new system for AD, but it works like PERFECTLY for the things that we've been TRYING to do with this site. I'm not saying copy paste, I'm not saying ignore the old rules. I'm saying that I need to get my hands on a copy of them so you can look at them and be like, OK, THIS IS HOW WE DO X.

The main point is: everything is a technique, everything costs XP. There are no abilities, because that idea has fallen flat. It's pretty obvious to me that the differentiation between techniques and abilities became very blurry when old chubbz came to new chubbz, and it's just stupid now. It really is. There's no point in the separation between the two as things currently are.

We need to either rehaul the way that abilities are or just make everything techniques again.
