Naruto Saigen Roleplay

I'd understand if it were done like the genma where they're insanely powerful and have repurcussions for the entire village just by existing and because all villages were allocated 2.

Village locking weapons doesn't help balance or OOC logic, it jus leaves a very real possibility of unbalance i power that'll be stuck that way. Why not just lotto each time?

Or, why not have it so they are like Genma, you can steal them and whatnot if you perform an S-Rank Plotboard or whatever.

Because MN can't have nice things

Which is becoming tedious, this site is obviously village orientated.

that wouldn't fix the balance issue, but should be the case anyways.

We can just make it that on stealing, the thief needs to pay the price of the weapon to the person they're stealing it from

errr. as i recall, MN can go for them as well, for the record

And I seem to recall someone saying that they get locked to Other Countries if MN do end up winning and successfully retrieving them.

Some of the arguments brought up when discussing Check's big plot, at least by Onu anyway, is that if something like Rain's glove got lost or stolen it was supposed to be made that they would teleport somewhere where he would find it again (e.g. in his toilet or closet).

soooo bump.

Original arguments still stand.

Sorry. I'll explain sometime today

I thought this was the case for the weapons too?

Why is it a very real possibility of imbalance if the weapons are decided between villages and not if 1 village could theoretically end up with all 10 weapons? Just wondering if your reasoning extends beyond "because MN"

No you can't steal the weapons after the plotboard to gain them is done. They 'choose' their bearers in a sense. If you steal them, they reappear in the original bearer's things later, or in their home, etc.

Sorry, I kno I said I'd reply sooner but, like, life and stuff

Only the 5 Evils are village locked, the Armoury resets every it gets a new owner. Its impossible to pass the armoury down because "mythical bs" or whatever.

The reason I did it this way was actually because they're so unlike the genma. The genma are "extremely powerful" and a village being in possession of more than the others would give that village a pretty big advantage, at least at a political level. By delegating 2 to each village, it motivates users to act in a way to try and create the imbalance, and take the genma from another village.

The weapons are intended to be the opposite in effect. Individually the weapons are strongish and unique, but nothing extremely special. But all of them together would be a pretty big deal. By allowing an un-even distribution, it gives one village a little bit of a power up, but not an extreme one, and allows for users to act as movers of plot more easily.

So yeah, that was my logic in that decision. Sorry it took so long to respond.

That makes sense and I support that logic, except to me it seems like it's the logic that supports not locking them into villages at all.

Since it's not a big deal if a village gets an uneven number, it'd be far better IMO if the fate of the weapons weren't locked to any one village they were immediately lotto'd to. We could just lotto them to a new village each time and let them be affected by plot (be stolen and such like the genma).

Unless I missed something.

and thanks for the reply. Late's better than never.

I'd like to see a compromise on it that seems like it could encourage the plot moving that onu wants. What if the item stays in the village until taken? Kinda like a wand in Harry Potter, except the weapon chooses the user and then the village. So, if inactivity or whatever, the weapon stats in the village, but it can still be taken, and it switches loyalty until taken again.

I mean, I have no authority on it. I was just explain my logic as to why I chose to do it the way I did.

bump

Bringing this back to life now that I have authority to do anything about it ;D

Does anybody not agree with making it so the weapons aren't village locked? Once they're lost, they're just relotto'd in general again.

IMO I would say for them to be lotto'ed like genma when the owner goes inactive, but for them to also change hands if their owner is beaten/killed. Like Takumi was saying sort of. The Elder Wand in harry potter changes loyalties every time it's owner is beaten or killed, and only works for its current owner. So if you beat someone to the point where there was no denying that you were the winner, even if you didn't kill them, the weapon would change loyalties for you, and would only work for you.

This hasn't gone into effect yet. Why?

Sounds like a solid idea.

Yeah, still makes no sense that we can't hunt them, yet we can hunt genmas

The staff is going to be discussing this, we however currently have much bigger concerns on our plate and this isn't anywhere close to being a priority. On behalf of the staff I just ask that you be patient and wait for us to come to an answer.
