Stat System

Should we have a stat system?

I'm absolutely against it, a stat system takes away from both the fun and originallity offered by an rp site by forcing chracters to fit certain roles. It also creates massive gaps in power that can't be closed, especially by newer members. I've already made my case against it though, so I won't say any more.

it may be a bit of trouble, but we need something to keep people from being so stupid about powers... since we ALL know a captains could easily take down a luitenant who doesnt have bankai. and idk about you guys but the fact is im tired of seeing an espada who is weak trying to fight a captain commander on equal ground...

Yeah, but isn't that one of the reasons we have mods?

this wouldnt be a problem if we had two things, mods who actually had powers, and people who actually listen

Which is why we have admins with the ban hammer . I understand where you are coming from, but I can't agree that placing a stat system is the way to go. It is way to easy to abuse, and can make it so that even if you have the vocabulary of a monkey you could still end up killing one of the best players on the site.

true but we could easily make it un abuseable... like tying the stats together...

And how would you make it so that new players could come in without being beaten to a bloody pulp?

ehh.... have them train? theyre not likely to just run into an espada or captain are they?

.. Here's the problem with that. The fact is, while they are training A. there is nothing stopping a stronger character from, again, beating them senseless. B. While they are training, you are assuming that every other character wouldn't be, hence the "gap in power that I mentioned earlier. Unless you wanted to prevent people from building stats, which would kinda defeat the purpose, there really isn't a way to prevent that. (I apologize if I seem argumentative, I am just trying to explain my point of view. Plus, I'm kinda enjoying it.)

Please, everyone. Im revamping the stat system anyway. Can we all just give it a chance? Vote yes, and then we can TRY it out and see how it goes? ^^

And Ish, stat system or not, there's STILL nothing stopping stronger characters from beating weaker characters to a pulp. People here are not fair! They dont follow bleach with their characters and rank.

Sorry, Zilo. But you're my example.

Zilo was the Lieutenant of the Fourth Division (Medical) <-- And they are NOT fit for Combat Kido, and COMBAT PERIOD. He fought Soren, Shunsui (and i THINK Zaraki), and was STILL LIVING. He used Kido Number 90, Black Coffin, which was UNFAIR for a Lieutenant of the Medical Division.

If you ask me, doing things like THAT suck the fun out of RP because just ANYONE can decide they're not going to be fair.

in my opinion it should be the participants job to call godmod if they see something unfair, and the mods job to enforce or dismiss the call, thats just my opinion though ignore it if you want, or not i don't care really

No, your opinion wont be ignored. You're right, the participants should have said something, but they obviously didn't care as much as i do/did. Whether or not they care or not, I know that i, for one, do. I don't like unfair Roleplay, and i dont like that somehow the Ex-Lt of the 4th Division escaped 3 captains without dying somehow. It's simply... impossible. Lol.

I think that a stat system should be planted on this site. People are having some BS Reiatsu, and people are starting to copy Zaraki's seal. If its not in your app you can't use it D:<.

Let it be noted all my arrancar's have used seals and it is in the APP

I agree with Blade. Also, even if the stat system DOESNT get approved, the seals seriously need to be reviewed -_-

i agree that it shouldn't have happened, as in no way shape or form is a Lt. strong enough to go toe to toe with one captain let alone three, but the captains should have called him on it, since they didn't he got away with it, it shouldn't happen but it did. as for the seals and whatnot, i agree not in the app not gonna happen

I think we should try to give the stats system a go, but even if we don't then we seriously need to look at power deferences between ranks to make things more fairer on the site. I didn't keep very up to date with the whole Kensei situation (though I probably should have because my character's a captain) but I come across the topic about how he's 'killed' by Zilo. I know that example has been used before, but seriously, how OP can you get? A lieutenant defeating an ex-captain commander? Though, if you do chose to go awhead with the stats system then all admin/mods will need to be pretty much on the ball to make sure people stick to the stats.

for once.. agreed, although i will say i let him win because he beat the captains, so it was the best choice x.x plus he was the most active person willing to do it

Ah! Thank you, finally some people who sees eye-to-eye, and actually understand how it'd all work out.
