Clean up of the rules.

[Darth Ferus]

Pretty much what the title says. With http://starwarsrp.net/topic/62484-removal-of-force-powers-from-the-character-template eliminating one of the site rules because it isn't used or enforced, I personally think it would be good to have the rules gone over.

I agree on this basis alone:

1. What's to prevent Padawans/Acolytes from using Force Abilities outside their use.

2. How much killing of pvp is going to happen? Granted, it's up to the writer (defender) to protect themselves....but not everyone is a master pvper. So now the less uneducated are now food for more apex predators.

3. If such a rule is enforced....then a counter rule should be implemented, such as what each rank could use.

4. I love Star Wars................love it!

We are always on the look out for things which need revision.

Do you have any suggestions of examples?

 

[Darth Ferus]

[member="Valiens Nantaris"]

At the moment, no. But now that I know I can suggest rules I'll certainly look through and find stuff.

Nobody can force you to kill your own character, even if they drop a star destroyer from the sky onto your head and you take the hit.

1. What's to prevent Padawans/Acolytes from using Force Abilities outside their use.

I disagree with this.

What stopped them before?

2. How much killing of pvp is going to happen? Granted, it's up to the writer (defender) to protect themselves....but not everyone is a master pvper. So now the less uneducated are now food for more apex predators.

Hasn't that always been the case?

3. If such a rule is enforced....then a counter rule should be implemented, such as what each rank could use.

Well Luke Skywalker with only a few days real training from a master was able to best a Sith Lord. Anakin Skywalker was one of the most powerful Jedi to ever live as a Knight. Jacen and Anakin Solo as Apprentices far outclassed Ganner Rhysode, an Experienced Knight. Kyp Durron with assistance of Exar Kun put Luke Skywalker in a Coma as an Apprentice. Jaina as a 15 year old was able to kill more Yuuzhan Vong than numerous experienced Knights throughout the NJO Series. Darth Talon was able to murder the crap out of her master right after she finished training. Boba Fett put the hurt on Darth Vader once (still lost in the end).

Basically, being a Master doesn't make you better than anyone, its how you use it.

And Yeah I can Support cleaning up the site rules, getting some precedents written down where folks can see them

Please do.

Staff will then discuss and see if we agree said rule needs removal, reworking or stays as is.

Could I suggest (here) that we add a spot in the Character Creation rules under the Transfer Characters spot a brief description of where you would post all of the information requested by the staff?

TRANSFERRING YOUR CHARACTER

• Please list all role-plays at your previous board that are relevant.
• Please list what roleplay board you're transferring from.
• Added here

I'm well aware of any rank defeating any rank.....I'm more concerned about people flashing abilities beyond their character's abilities.

And Luke Skywalker.....what a joke. Mark Hamill voiced a better Joker than he ever did a lightsaber.

And I'm a nice pvper, I won't abuse my rank or put people in a position where they feel they can't do anything. PM is my friend....I'll work work with my opponent rather than jump around screaming, "I beat you...eat that!"

Luke Skywalker by Mark Hammil was my favorite portion of star wars, and that includes my favorite Jedi - Qui-Gon Jinn.

On the other hand, I tend to dislike EU from 4 ABY to 27 ABY.

So then either A) Let them know about it or B ) Write yourself out of the situation and then discontinue writing with them.

Worst comes to worse you can report and/or ignore them.

Personally, I'm less concerned with Padawans and Knights using complex abilities than I am with Masters and Knights operating with a limitless battery.

Not always an option.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

If these issues that keep getting mentioned have happened before when the rules were official they obviously didn’t prevent it.

If these issues are fears about what might happen at some stage, let’s see if it does before throwing out dread predictions of doom….

Did you have any particular place in mind? Bio? Welcome thread? PM to Admin? Blog post?

 

[Jsc]

Not always an option.

Always an option. I've left duels during an Invasion because the other member was flipping out. Just rerouted to a new opponent and left the other guy to fight npcs all by his lonesome.

You can seriously ignore anybody, anytime you want.

My nephews would agree with you.

I don't report anyone.......I rather spend days/weeks working out a solution. It's my passion in RL, a society of happy people.

I would think that the request for rank titles/faction titles/name change thread would be the most organized place to put it, since you're already asking for it there.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

[member="Lily Kirsche Kuhn"]
So...reword your proposal with this location and I'll take it upstairs.

Only time I've seen happy people in large clusters is when a great deal of medication or other artificial stimuli are involved.
