I say revert back to our Player system like the old RPG.

 

[Zarn]

I went away for a bit due to something out of my control. I come back and my characters are dead. The player system was better.

@Zarn: The abstain thingy I posted about would help that so thats no reason for votng for revertion, but I agree wit u neverhless..

I agree, Right now I am starting to loose track of how many "Mara Jade"s I have, and who is killed and who is still alive.

I have a reason against your proposal. Why should you stop aging? Let's say you marry someone elses character. You freeze your character. The comes the large age difference. It just make sense in my eyes not to do it. Besides, a player character is much easier to control.

@zarn: we could easily keep the character thing and do 2 things to it: kill LE, and limit the characters per player to 1 active. this way we can have the advances of roleplaying characters AND the ease of the player system. + we have the advantage of death on conflict, for example.

the idea of death was the reason to implement the character system-btw- and thus we should maybe revert to a simpler and modified system. but not to the old one ;-)
death is impossible if you only have players, except someone leaves.
as such, i think we should keep the character system and modify it to have a unlimited LE and a limited number of "active" characters.

 

[Civanator]

Dis' Idea does sound good.

 

[Octavian X]

I'd go for reverting to a character system, if and only if people could still die through conflict. If there's one thing I got tired of, it was the immortal people who could jump of airplanes without parachuts, and live to tell about it.

 

[Civanator]

Oct- My aunt's friend jumped out of an airplane 2 times without his parachute going off and lived, and he hit the ground .

 

[Sir John]

I will soon post a new poll where the options will be:

Reverting to old system
using disses idea.
abstain

All agree???

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

@dis- can it be 2 characters? remember end of DG2, my Dada rebelion? that wouldnt be possible with only 1 active character

 

[Sir John]

2 charcs could work as well, but if first making the character count lower I would say that we go all the way down to one...

 

[Octavian X]

Well, if you guys are serious about this change, submit a formal request to change the necessary rules to one of the RPG managers, and we'll vote and take it from there.

 

[disorganizer]

Well, as SJ is banned, someone needs to push this forward... and its not me

 

[Plexus]

SJ got banned? Well, it is clear what direction we should take, and if no one else wants to spearhead this, I will.

 

[GenMarshall]

@Plexus, with your permision, I would like to help you get this thing forward .

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

@all- just give me a formal proposal and Ill get it polled

 

[jdd2007]

hey, uh, i havent been active in this RPG but you might remember me from the last one.

i would love to see the player thing back. i wouldnt want to join if my character might die tomorow with no heirs.

 

[GenMarshall]

Hmm, is this going to be pushed forward?
