Activity Check (February)

[Neliel]

Alright, as many of you know, I have been on a short hiatus as of late, becoming quite preoccupied irl. As such, I need to see how many individuals still attend the site, and which accounts to render inactive.

As such, we also have a new system currently being debated upon, so with that, we encourage all the debate necessary to efficiently deny it or put it into effect. That being said, the actual debate will take more of a toll than the actual poll which merely states who's for or against it without any valid reasons. The system is based mainly on everyone's concerns and issues since the opening of the site and addresses those concerns in one system that takes most of the workload off the staff team and makes it easier to focus more on the actual roleplay.

So with that aside, this activity check will last until February 26th, which gives you a bit of time to state whether you're active or not. Also list all active accounts you are currently under as well as any accounts you will be dropping.

I'm active, also, the poll is a POLL, debate or not, the poll represents people's opinions, conveying them in text, or in number, should equal the same. I could explain myself but I choose to use a number in place of my explanation because it was simply more convenient and nothing I would have said would have supported, or aided in the development of the new system, it would have been nothing but critical, which in the end means I don't like it because of logical reason x,y, and z.

I'm still here, although I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that you put up a anonymous poll for this new update then had decided that the poll itself, while being anonymous as it should be, will be ignored and that people will have to defend their position, which supposed to be anonymous, for their vote to matter. Personally I don't care for the new system, it is too vague for my liking. That is why I voted no.

All of my concerns and thoughts on the new system have been stated in the topic. To restate what I feel though, I do believe that the proposed new system has a lot of potential. As the soon-to-be Cero, I think it's absolutely bullshit that I don't have a hierro. Not to mention that last I checked NONE of the Espada had a hierro. On top of that, I know the Shinigami were kind of irked that they had to sacrifice some elements of their characters just to have a Bankai. The new system eliminates the sacrificing of important elements of play, without limiting our ability to play. Which is, ultimately, what is important. This new system is still stat based, no matter what way you look at it, and I absolutely detest stats, not going to lie there. I've mentioned it before, and I always will, stats give me a headache. The system that is being proposed, however, does make things a bit easier. While a bit more vague and general in it's details and rankings of things like speed and power, etc etc, I do think everyone needs to remember that at the end of the day your ability to produce detailed and accurate posts in a fight is what will determine your longevity....oh and your ability to not vanish in the middle of a fight either...

All the same, the NPS (Newly Proposed System) would take some getting used to if it was to be put into effect. The poll was more of getting a general feel though, I believe, for the system, not really a solid "It's happening" or "It's not happening" type deal, hence why Sigil is now talking about a debate and such. Which makes sense, in my honest opinion. As I have mentioned, I believe twice now, it would be beneficial, I believe, to just put it on a trial period, see how it goes. I do believe that on paper it seems a lot worse than it actually would be in the long run.

In the end, eliminating stat points and moving all to EXP works out well only if the opportunity to obtain EXP points becomes slightly easier as well. Not saying to start handing it out like candy, but character development would most likely come to a screeching halt with people losing their characters left and right, or having less than "active" characters, because as it stands a fight is the quickest way to earn EXP. Make it easier to obtain EXP and character development doesn't have to slow to a crawl.

I realize this is now late, but the Maintenance Mode kinda made hitting the deadline tricky. Anyhow, I'm still active, or at least I will be considering I never got round to dropping Nobuyuki into a thread.
