Extremely Important

[Aqua]

• People like myself and Rad have been here for years, myself since day one. We've both earned an arsenal of techniques and we both have an insane amount of items. We can level planets. There is absolutely no competition for us, and in order to even allow us to enter into an event, the stats have to be completely overlooked. This obviously is why we feel stats need something done to them... So let's say Rad and I are extremely busy until this is done and are unable to roleplay. How would we be compensated?
  
  
• I was not involved in PCIII at all. I was, however, active during that saga, albeit in a different saga. Why would someone from PCIII get to start off anew and with an advantage over me just because I chose to enter a different saga?
  
  
• Staff are all going to be busy working on the new content and may not have enough time to competitively roleplay. I personally do not care, but some staffers do feel that their character is important enough that if they had to choose to leave their character to exclusively be a staffer, or have an extreme disadvantage as 'punishment' for being a staffer, they would quit immediately and try to simply be a character. What is to reward them for their efforts to bring this into light while being unable to roleplay?

1. I thought that it seemed most people were against compensation. I myself have been swayed mostly that way. Therefore, my suggestion for these 4 months to count is within that context. So yeah, all stats would be reset for everyone, no compensation save for whatever you guys decide to do with the techniques (good luck with that btw...) and you give people the oppertunity to continue working towards something by applying the suggestion i mentioned above where from here on out, all finished threads (that would normally receive a boost or would under the new system) are saved some place until you guys determine the new stat system and upgrade system. Once we reset, you simply reward people for their RPing from today to the reset and go on from there.

2. Leave out the PCIII rewards. Now that you mention it, if we're not compensating for stats, there's no reason to add it. Though, i would say that all those pending updates ( including maybe PCIII if we were getting techs from that) that would have yielded techniques should be rewarded before the reset so (if you guys do allow members to keep some of their techs or all) the members will have their full range of techs to choose from. But if anything pending before now isn't yielding a tech... why bother? Just save work from here out.

3. I assume this is if we applied my suggestion. In which case, you could apply you ever-famous static reward to active staff. I for one have no problem with staff getting some sort of bonus for dealing with all of this shit. Or, you could always just try to talk them down :-P. But I wouldn't think that the staff here, writers that they are, would have a real problem getting their RPs out there. But as i said, I'm open to whatever there... static reward... reward given by admins to their subordinates... however you see fit really.

Does this make me seem less crazy OMG stats!!?
