Extremely Important

[Vegeta]

1. Characters and who is piloting them, and history issues involved - Who was Piccolo during this event? "I want to play Goku now that he's open." "I just became Vegeta and I don't want to roleplay any of the previous history because this is my character and I should be given the creativity to roleplay him as I desire." "I'm playing Pan and I'm a 12 year old girl, so how did I get married and give birth to Jun'ai, much less Goku Jr over time who is older than me." "Hi, I'm Gohan and I'm also 13 myself, with my younger brother Goten being 19 and my daughter Pan being 12 years old, although I have never met Videl who is referring to her as being her daughter."
   
   
2. Character limitations - Let's be serious. We allow people to build a character to be whoever they want, but if you have to choose between Puara and Oolong and you are hellbent on making a hardcore pitfighting badass, no matter how cool that would be, its hard to imagine the average roleplayer as wanting to work through this. It can be difficult and drain you creatively to the point that you are pushing a river uphill.
   
   
3. Numbers of characters open as a result - "All the good characters are gone! I'm just going to wait till someone good opens then." "Trunks just opened up? OMG, I've always wanted him but I got screwed into having to take Oolong since he was the best of the choices I had available. But I want to roleplay him my way... I don't want to feel forced to roleplay whatever someone tells me to write." "Ok, how long are we going to allow Vegeta to be 'away' indefinately before we have to release his character to the public? Let's let someone play him since its been three months- Fuck, he's back now, what to do."
   
   
4. Switching is a pain in the ass, but who are we to tell people "You must stick with a character that you are unhappy with because we said so!"
   
   
5. Artistic Interpretation is entirely bias. Yes, its based entirely on who the staffer that happens to be reading it feels about the image, and that can differ based on which character it is and who the person is piloting the character. This is another large issue the members have against us.
   
   
6. When someone is on hold we have to change their roster to inactive and explain to every single newbie that comes here why they can't have that character just to look like hypocrites as they always seem to find the one event where we contradict ourselves.
   
   
7. "Why can't I be Gotenks or Trunks Unified? Why is Trunks a special character, I don't get it!"
   
   
8. "Why can't I join as a custom character? REIJIN is a custom. Is it because staffers get special treatment?"
   
   
9. "So what if I want a Saiyan, look at what most of you are. How can you sit there and tell me that I shouldn't want it when you yourselves chose it. Stop giving us shit over it."
   
   
10. Who's the current monarch of Vejita-sei? Is it Vejita II, Vejita I, Trunks, WHO? Oh, its changing as much as the person playing Pan. What about who the current guardian is of Earth? Is it Dende now or Kami? What if someone "suddenly returns to playing Kami" but someone is still playing Dende, and Kami doesn't want to be guardian, what then? Should we tell them they can't play the character they built?
    
    
11. "Why the hell can I not play Vejita Jr if the person holding the character never posts as him? What's Kiwi retired for? You released Turles, why not release Kiwi?"
    
    
12. "I was Dabura three years ago, so why can't I be Dabura now?"
    
    
13. "I'll never be as strong as those that have been here for years. You say if I work hard I can be stronger than Raditzu, but do I really care to work that hard? What about people who are uber strong but rarely ever roleplay, and yet they still will always win."
    
    
14. Stats have to be here, or its not a DBZ RPG. That's why Puara cannot beat Raditzu, even if he out roleplays, b/c of the stats, it just makes sense. Oh, wait, the stats don't matter in ANY saga. Wait, they do matter, but just a little bit. No, they matter a lot here. Now just a little bit. Nope, they don't matter at all. Excuse me, but could the staff get their shit together and tell me exactly how they matter so I know how to build my character? If stats don't matter at all, then why should I train anything other than mentals just for their perks? Why should I even train other than Zeni gain? If stats don't matter, then should I bother purchasing armor? If they don't matter, then the RoSaT is useless unless I'm just dying to roleplay and can't do that anywhere else, right? If they don't matter, then why even have them at all and why be against resetting the stats? If they don't matter, then why should the penalty for switching even make me blink? Wait, stats matter again? If so, then how does Android 17 manage to overcome Reijin during battle? If so, then how is Oolong even touching Raditzu and not disentigrating from sheer XTREMEness?
    
    
15. Pebble Logic complaints.
    
    
16. "I don't want someone else to roleplay as Bardock, since some noob would tarnish his name. But its not like there are many other characters left for selection given the limited canon characters. So lets try to be subtle and slip him in there and- Sir, 8 people are asking to join as him or switch to him since he's a Saiyan, but they want to give him amnesia, a case of split personality in which they constantly fight with their other self, and a dark side to allow them to go do evil things with absolutely no reason."
