RP General Discussion

@ Kristia

the key point is that the "scale" is a fall back plan

it will not affect the RP and will not be like a dungeons and dragon set up

@Kristia

It isn't like that we will suddenly start to RP in a completely different way. It is a system to fall back on if what we have going at the moment doesn't work. 99% of the time you won't notice that it is there. Let's say for example that I said that Xehanort grabbed a steel pipe and bended it with a single hand. Suddenly someone doesn't like this (cucoo for example) and begins to argue with me that he shouldn't be able to do that. He is a old man after all. Now in this example it would just to show cucoo the video where he crush a armor with a single hand, but what if I didn't have that video, it's just scattered all over the game that he is very strong? Let's be honest here, I doubt that we are all going to play trough every game that enter this RP 100%. This is a way to go around this.

I am too against numbers, I don't like them and just like you say, they would be great if we had a strategic rp, but that's not what we have and we should try to keep it that way, but when things go wrong, we HAVE to have a system that we can fall back on, a system that doesn't let the arguments go on for days without getting resolved. It's not healthy for the RP at all and it makes us not want to RP as much. That's why we should try to deal with them as quick as possible.

I don't approve of this whole stats thing either. I rather think of a character's power to be a very relative thing rather than absolute and that the outcome of a battle is up to the whim of the RPers. It's about cunning, creativity and strategy with what the characters can do. If we were wanting to talk stats, we should rather do a Touhou D&D game. (Speaking of which, I have found a great Touhou tabletop RPG that I need to play with some friends sometime).
But back to the subject at hand, I have to agree with Kristia in every way. Characters should be fleshed out in story and plot. Not through stats. They can become stronger through character development and through acquired knowledge and rare items. They shouldn't level up and have their stats boosted.

@Cucoo
I am a slow poster. I did not see the posts until after I posted.

The point is a scale/balance to compare characters relative to their origins.

If we have that then if for some reason history repeats itself we can go back to it.



Like this.

Fall back plan. I'm going to keep saying it

FALL BACK PLAN


EDIT: Remember that little thing we did for fun where I asked to have everyone put characters honestly on a power level rating scale?
Think of it like that.

Holy cow guys, I'm off for one day and 10 pages appear here and all of it is for AtWaG.

Cucoo5: Fire Emblem Characters can become so brokenly powerful

I've notice that with Nowi, Chrom (2nd form) and "Robin" (2nd form. Of course I changed the name).

@zekai

Aye we need a system for RP organization.
Specially with the size of AtWaG.

I think theres a misconception with the stats concept for AtWaG
We won't use it like you think it would be.

Random image spam that I found on Twitter. Sucker Punch retweeted this and it's rather funny.

I just hope Cole doesn't die due to this in AtWaG.

Alright so I'm going to head to bed now. (might stay up to post a notification about newest Gensokyo video)

@S121

I don't know if you are going to read this, but if you do, please know that I am sorry that this evolved into something this big. I don't know if you are going to read this, although I know that you visited the forums a few hours ago (about 3 hours) so I hope that you will read this and come back here again.
