[QUOTE="Lady Diamond, post: 95864, member: 216"] Well from the looks of the poll this afternoon Vanor's idea is getting shot down anyways. He put a lot of time and effort into it but unfortunately we have people who've never run a dojo before saying "hey risk it all, have fun", and folks who are saying "this idea is too complex", when usually there are lots of folks driving more and more complexity into YB on a day to day basis. The EXP idea sounded pretty simple to me, and I'm usually the one person around here scratchin' my head at what people are talking about, because I don't play D&D. "Why not just play YBA?" It's simple. YBA depends on one or two people to do the "DM'ing", as y'all call it. Who's going to take over YBA if or when Wicht gets swamped with OOC things and perhaps has to pull back from it? I'd be interested in seeing who takes over YBA while he's gone for a week. "This will make it easier for 'power-players' to rise too quickly in the ranks." Well I hate to tell y'all this, we already have a system that lets people play on and on and on without slowing down their rise to higher ranks even with losses, its called "Meowthbot". No waiting on boards responses with it, and it favors people who have lots of time to sit in chat and spew generator moves. As Vanor's student in his dojo and also someone who's put quite a bit of time myself into the Honor path, I can comment from direct experience about what he's trying to do. He's put many hours of OOC time into it (I'd Love to see other people write posts that actually have something to chew on in them, rather than one-liner IC "messages" that people think is RP'ing). Folks leading dojos have more responsibility on their shoulders, and any master who would jump from one combat to the other for the sake of his own rank at the expense of losing his dojo (and costing his students their styles that they've worked on to get)... well I don't think I'd be a student of his for very long. There isn't a single reference in the new rules about dojos and what happens to them if the dojo master loses his/her rank. The old rules specifically stated what occurred if that situation arose. Very few players like the "no consequence from losses" idea that [b]all paths[/b] would have benefitted from, so now I say the heck with it, and let's come up with something that gives at least a little more incentive to the folks who Do take responsibility and run a dojo at the expense of their OOC time and often at the expense of not being able to say "the hell with it, I'm going to play and have fun for myself, and I don't give a damn about my students." Here's where we are now, IMO. [/QUOTE]
