Ok I shall stick my oppionon in here because I feel like it. I have been hanging on Gaia because it is much more organized and structured so that no arguments occur normally. Lets look at their rules for the FFA which is equivalant to miltiaries here. These are their rules for the FFA,

Rules that are specific to the FFA

1. Free For All Guilds and Organization/Military Guilds are two seperate ballparks. This means that an FFA Guild cannot attack an O/M Guild without permission of the owner, and an O/M Guild cannot attack an FFA Guild without permission of the owner. Please take this into consideration when dealing with cross-forum fighting.

2. Although not a true FFA only rule, please report threads that do not belong here. By posting in them, or not reporting them, they build up spam and other bad things.

3. In the FFA, your guild is always open to attack. This means you cannot put a fight on hold so you can RP something else in your guild. By doing this, you are showing you are O/M material, and will be treated as such. (As in a move to the O/M).

4. If you have a rule in your guild, for example, banning any form of magic from the guild, your members and visitors must also respect this rule. Everyone in the thread follows all rules.

5. Having an FFA Guild which is an outpost, base, or extension thread of a GGN Guild, or an O/M Guild, is not allowed. If you want to fight an FFA Guild so bad, then ask the owner first.

6. If your guild is not complete when you start to RP in it, it will be seen as an incomplete guild and moved to Chatterbox until fixed. Please note I will move back guilds once they are fixed and meeting requirements, or any other problems they had. However, I will also only move back ones that show signs of work. (An example is moving a thread back that shows they put some thought into the missing Story they had, rather than putting in a filler story.)

7. If your guild bans a certain time period, or a certain genre of items/abilities (technology, magic, etc.) your guild cannot attack a guild that has the items you banned. An example is if a place bans the use of magic, they are not allowed to be attacked by anyone who uses magic. Also, they are not allowed to attack places that uses magic. This is seen as O/M Material and will be treated as such.

8. In the FFA, in order to atack a guild, you must be part of an FFA guild first, or have followed the rules of #1. Also, Regulars of a thread cannot lead attacks as if from the guild they are a regular at. You must be on the memberlist and visible to everyone in order to launch attacks from guild to guild. An example is if a regular from White Dragon were to attack Seafoam, the leader of Seafoam can null the attack, since the White Dragon attacker is not on the memberlist of the White Dragon guild.

Another thing is if a regular of White Dragon is a member of Seafoam, they cannot launch an attack on White Dragon, since an attacker cannot be a defender at the same time. The same applies to mules the person owns.

This has been added to encourage updates on memberlists, as well as tone the line between regulars and members.

9. Defenses that stop everything from passing, or are completely overdone and are massive will be seen as closing yourself off to attack. This will result in a thread being moved to the O/M area of guilds. this is due to the rise of guilds with shields that can prevent all from passing through, or guilds with over 300 different pieces of defensive material.

Need help with a decision when fighting?

At times you will find, there are people here that will fight tooth and nail OOC (Out of Character) to say their move is correct IC (In Character). If you cannot solve this dilemma yourselves, call in outside help. Many, if not all FFAers, will help you if they are on-line, and make a decision based off what they see. These decisions made are just their own opinions, however they can keep an RP going. Trust us, it is a better alternative to flaming.

New FFA Guilds and how to Treat Them

When someone is setting up a thread in the FFA, do NOT post in the thread and harrass them or say how much the guild they are making is suck, or coming in IC and destroying everything in one post, etc. Please leave them alone, and let them do as they will.

By not flaming/trolling/harrasing/etc., you are helping re-build the FFA community.


Those are the FFA rules. I say we apply the same rules to NPO because if it works their it will work here. Gaia is succesful, a big time rp place, and literally n arguments arise. Also, characters here are way overpowered and whatnot. People carry like craploads of weapons and it doesnt weigh them down. We need to limit people and have more realisitic characters because honestly, having all the elemtns under your cotnrol is g-modding. My chaacter is limited but I still am good ((shut up, i dont isplay crap here so dont tell me otherwise unless yo have seen me actually fight in which you will agree for the most part.))

and with that, i leave you to read the Gaian rules and see why they are succesful

Most of that stuff is just common sense things, they're what we call "unwritten" rules... But we might as well write them down anyway.

Just to point out the obvious roy... this isnt gaia, stop trying to enforce their rules on us.

Now that thats out of the way...

I would like to ask who really decides if a character is overpowered?

So far nobody has given me a clear valid reason why my character wouldnt work, but they still say he is overpowered.

And i dont see how being able to control every element to a certain extent is godmodding, i would like to see you explain that.

Ok well lets see, who do I think is overpowerred. I shall list them now:
Advent Horizon
Bill Cosby is...pokeman!
Kuro Tsuwano ((he left but I still say overpowered))
Maddix
Cziri

Thats it for now. BST uses a crapload of weapons and controls like a crap load of energies, kachi controls way to many energies, Kuro controls way to many energies, Maddix uses spells and doesnt explain how they work and is overpowwered, and cziri just has a crapload of energies.

I only use the following:
Raw
Ki
Dark
Earth
Mana ((still in training))

We should limit it. Also, everyone has a crapload of weapons. if they used Magnus I would understand but no one does and they act as if it affects them. I wear a cloak concealign weapons as well as a few in my Obi. I place them around my body so I am not weighd down on one side, but when I still dont have many. I also mostly have small weapons and only 1 sword, 2 jittes, 2 guns, and 1 aikuchi. The sword is at my side on my obi, the jittes are in my obi on the other side, my 2 guns are in my cloak, and my aikuchi is in my sleeve. You guys are way overpowered and shoudl put a limit on weapons and energies. You dotn have to be all powerful to be good.

Add Shin to that list. Add Mingan. Both of our characters can be considered overpowered, and unlike others, we admit it. Both Shin and Mingan [My and Mingan's main characters] were rebuilt and then retired because of that.

It doesn't matter how many people you list, though, if they don't want to let go of what makes them ''good'', they won't let go, and they will never adapt and grow in skill or technique. I think that every person you listed has skill, but the fact is, all of the characters ARE overpowered, and the best way to explain this is: if you can destroy a planet or a even a mountain, on your own, you're overpowered. The latter of that statement has EXTREME exceptions to it, such as an Earth Elemental, a 500 year old Stonemagus, or something like that.

Open attack rules


- Oh man, do we need this. Noticing as how many millitaries pop up without even cosidering this rule, this needs to some into action, if it isn't already. This will limit the amount of millitaries by making the owner more cautious when he/she makes a RP, and will maybe bring action here as well. I beleive rules should be enforced at what times atacks are allowed, because you could have an active army, and they get attacked at four o'clock A.M. Time limits would help this for sure.



Soul Rules


- No souls. Not everybody beleive in these, and it has come to an argument of tormenting beleifs, and has no place here. I think the soul is in a person, but others don't, and it has led to arguing over relegions and major flamming. I say we get rid of it completely.


Dieing Character Rules



- ONCE A CHARACTER IS DEAD, THEY CAN"T BE RESSURECTED! My God, this is ridiculous! People (Like Roy) are making numerous clones, and making more and mor eof themselves WITHOUT AN EXPLENATION THAT ACTAULLY MAKES SINCE. Just make a new character :|


Land Rules


- What about land?

I agree with every word he just put in his post. If his suggestions were used, I'm willing to bet a lot of flaming would be cut out, and things would run a whole lot smoother. Of course, some would pop up when someone died, but there would still be less, I think.

Thank you. The cloning is making me mad. I am friends with these people that clone, so don't get me wrong, but it is basically Godmodding. Making hundreds of yourself without teaching them ANYTHING the real body knows is just insane. Anyways, I asked for an explanation, and he said he cloned a soul. IMO, that has to be done by some kind of Higher Being.
