People don't actually role play like that, do they?

Sora touches on an important point. An RPG full of omnipotent player characters is not fun at all.

I agree, everyone should be on the same level of inportance with some Exeptions like how Subaru has athority because of the Crimson Knights.

I'm refering to the subs downloaded from programs like Kazaa. But I doubt the Admins would want me discussing that in detail.

That clears things up a bit.

Quite.

And yes, I -have- seen people RP like that. It's a sad, sad sight.

That's why any story or show has a limited number of main characters. Usually one, like Tsukasa, but there can be more. Like, um, Power Rangers. Thought that isn't the greatest example. In an RP, you can have many many main characters, which can sometimes lead to stagnation.

Only if you don't break off. Not everyone has to RP with everyone at once. Try small scenes, private scenes, etc etc etc.

Make sure someone is willing to take a leading role sometimes, as well.

Well I'm currently working with the main admin of the RP in trying to redo the system so we have an organized level of hacking ability and stuff (it's been way to overpowered as it is, with a new hacker using his gate hacking ability to teleport instantly through fields, or someone using data drain to create a jet powered grunty).

When this is complete, there will be set rules for hacking (and after we redo that one character who says he's an Ex-hacker and this can use all hacking abilites and more

) which will hopefully stop this from turning into a diety slug fest between uber hacker_01 and uber hacker_02.

So it's a work in progress, a trial by error type thing... Once we balance the system... THEN we can work on the plot

.

Zephi is able to make Hotaru's grunty UEBER [and fat], so no reason why there can't be a jet powered Grunty. :p It's feasible.

Hotaru's grunty was cooler when it was small... and we actually do have a winged grunty like puchiguso-san turned into in the anime.

And yes it was a result of a data drain...

I'm stuck with Steve the Business Grunty

"How may I serve you master? ~BUY SELL TRADE~"
"Would you like to view my wares master? ~BUY SELL TRADE~"

(He runs a Grunty store in the Root Town btw)

Steve the Business Grunty? :p You might as well had named him "Bob" :p

Or Tim. Aren't all the grunties business grunties? I mean, I'm not sure how one would go around and get all this stuff, but they all seem to be born with scrolls and weapons.
