Yamcha, I am saying this very calmly and in a very understanding tone. It has been three days since the last post of your saga. In addition to that, you asked us to look at your no later than yesterday. I am very glad that you want to be active, and it is more appreciated than you probably realize. However, another post asking us to look at your quest and you will be given an answer immediatly (probably not the one you want) and warned. I am sorry that your patience and our process have not met up to this point, but that is simply the way things go.
As far as GJ is concerned, that is no one's fault but his. The description of the technique clearly states that "this is only for non-saiyan". I am sorry that he wasted his time trying to gain a technique that he is not capable of getting, but that was a direct copy and paste. Reading the rules will take you far.
EDIT: You can RP yourself getting the technique. Consider it approved.

Rad posted before me and basically said everything I had to say, in a much calmer manner. >.<

Akira Toriyama himself said that GJ is Saiya-Jin. o_O
Explain to me why he wouldn't be Saiyan? If an African American marries a Caucasian and they have a baby, then theoretically the offspring would be 50% A.A. and 50% Caucasian. Then, the offspring marries a person who is 50/50 as well. The offspring is now 25%. It's simple Biology. I don't know why you are bent on trying to convince the staff that GJ isn't Saiyan. That's like saying that Gohan isn't Saiyan, Marron isn't human, or Goten is a changeling.
I don't understand why you even chose a character when you weren't sure exactly what race he was. The name Goku Jr. itself should have given it away...

Personally I think people should stop roleplaying for powerups and roleplay for the sake of roleplaying. I know that's easy to say when you have yours, but I have had no powerups for the majority of my time here, and it really doesn't make that much difference. And usually, when you just roleplay because you like roleplaying, you have a better chance of catching a staff member's eye and perhaps getting one. Staff are much happier when people don't try to roleplay to get something. It's much better to see people roleplaying because they like to.

Agreed. I've been a member for over two years. Know how many powerups I've had? One - Oozaru, and that just takes 2 weeks to receive. I strongly encourage, and back up Kakarot, when I say to start RPing for the sake of RPing.

I'll work backwards.

Gee, looks to me like saying that maybe he isn't a Saiya-Jin.

Watch it.
Quote:Originally posted by Goku Jr.:
so why is it so hard to let me be human rather then Saiyan.
Why is it so hard to let Koola be Namek-Sei or Raditzu to be an Android? Do I even really need to go into this? If you wanted human powerups, you should have been human. You say you understand that GJ was Saiya-Jin (even tho you contradicted yourself in an earlier post), so why would you have joined as him, expecting human powerups?
Quote:Originally posted by Yamcha:
But the problem without a power up is this, those with easily rule over those without.
A fight would be more interesting if both could power up, rather than one person going from a higher power level to an even higher power level.
Say Broli and I fought and he had a power level of 750,000 and had SSJ and I had a power level of 900,000 and Spiritken. The power ups would help to make a fight a little more even.
Now if Broli had a power level of 750,000 and SSJ and I had a power level of 900,000 and no power up....his would soar to about 25,000,000, and I would die, the end.....Broli wouldn't have a challenge.
What do you think the reset was for? To reduce the power gap. If I had SSJ and you didn't have a powerup, and I never RPed while you went all-out, I think it's reasonable to say that you would be awarded as the winner and myself given a swift kick to the back of the head.
Quote:Originally posted by Yamcha:
But I'm not complaining, I wasn't asking so much as to have Spiritken, but just for an answer, whichever it is, i'll accept, I saw Raditzu's post, so I'll say that I "have it" for now, but if push comes to shove and I don't recieve it, that will be fine as well.
No one was saying you were complaining. The staff would just appreciate it if you were a little more patient.

Goku Jr is 1/16 Saiyajin, he's barely a saiya-jin. I am suprised that he was able to go SSJ, it must be some sort of dominant gene or something along those lines to be carried so far after the blood has been so badly dilluted after years and years of breeding.
And I doubt Akira Toriyama said squat about Goku Jr since the only involvement he had with GT was the early character design's =/.
Anyway, Goku Jr. went SSJ in GT meaning he is enough of a saiyajin that he wouldn't be given the Spirit Ken. Which is a technique specifically built for people who don't have any of the other transformations so they don't have to go and die to get the Kaiouken. So be happy you get Oozaru, Oozaru control, and someday the SSJ level. >_>

Besides the fact that you should never write a saga with the intent of recieving a powerup from it. The Staff DOES NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOU POWERUPS. I think that when we see you are ready to get your powerup, you will. Sagas like "Quest for Super Saiyajin" don't go so well when we are deciding wheither you've earned it or not. It's better to just wait for it and be suprised when you get it.

I'm very confused. You and Yamcha are contradicting one another.
Quote:Originally posted by Yamcha:
Goku Jr. wanted to get Spiritken, he can't, after writing an entire saga just to earn it
And then you said.
Quote:Yay for Yamcha
By that, I'm assuming that you agreed with what he said. And now you're saying that you never wrote a saga intending to receive a powerup? o_O
Quote:Originally posted by Goku Jr:
Look he is Saiyan correct yes but he is also human more human than Saiyan. See Goku Jr, not Goku.
True, but with the ability to go SSJ makes him Saiya-Jin in my book.
Unless you have something to add other than the "But I really think he's more human and deserves human powerups" info, this is over.

Sometimes I honestly hate people. I'm not targetting anyone here, just throwing it out.
Yamcha - You got what you wanted, case closed.
GJ - Saiyan blood = saiyan power ups. Period.
Trunks - Thank you for the input.
Broli - Try addressing points, not people.
Koola - He is absolutely right, we don't like people writing with the intent of a powerup.
If anyone unlocks this to try and add a post, or opens a new thread to adress this, they will be warned.
