Furthermore, it would only be 3 losses - and it's gone.Your students are out on the streets. You are a shame. Other dojo masters snicker at you. You have failed.If you see it in context, you will accept that the randomness of the game changes this responsibility a lot. Your students can switch ranks, drop to white belt, or surpass you quicker than you can think, "My modem didn't work for one week".The other fighters fight the same game. They know how you can be cheated by the generator. They know bad luck happens. They won't hold it against you if you fight. Much to the contrary, I would consider it bad sportsmanship if they did.If your students demanded of you to make a dojo for them so that they could learn an additional style, so that they can make some interesting role-playing while still fighting, but disallowing you to fight, as well, to partake at the same entertainment as they do.Also, being a member of a dojo whose master doesn't fight at all might give you security that the dojo will be there until you gain enough ranks to equal or surpass your master.But does it make you proud?"I am a member of Vanor's dojo, the master who doesn't fight."Some people prefer security to failing, others prefer thrill to monotony.TBH, I could understand Vanor's point if he was at Disgraced 2. But he's got two losses before he's in immediate danger of dropping ranks and losing his dojo. I'm not saying he should challenge meowth.He could fight yellow belts, for all that matters, or even white belts - as a sort of active recruitment.On the other hand, Vanor really excels at storytelling and role-playing. That's fine, and he can do that all without fighting. But that doesn't generate a need to change the system.Perhaps Vanor could make up a second character, just for some fights, without backstory or such, just to remain active?Or he could fight unofficial fights?And, one sidenote:I totally agree with you regarding the complexity and the trends of YB, Lady Diamond. I am also well aware of its development, but I don't list it towards those that bring the respective parts up.I only see changes upon changes, and while most of the last seemed to have some bearing, I do not see the need for the herein proposed one. So, in order to try and keep all the changes down in numbers, I spoke up.Nothing personal, much to the contrary.Berandor</blockquote>
