Last resort we reset and make RPing a competition. "We will only accept FIVE RPers! Each one will make ONE character app to prove they get a spot. Those who get in, get to make more characters. After the RP has started, and if people leave, we will allow more to join in and replace." or something like that. I don't want to go down that path... but we might have to if we can't clean this up.
Does that, or doesn't that include us? Alright, operation C.L.E.A.N.U.P. is underway then.
It includes ya'll and myself. Me, 1. You, 2. Unraveller, 3. I know the three of us get our spots instantly, no doubt about it. Everyone else would be thrown into a pit and forced to fight!
Man, I'm really hoping this RP won't go downhill, I have to much interest in the concept.
I'm so glad you're still interested! Yeah, by the way, this is 100% unusual. The other time this happened to an RP I had, I wasn't around for a full week... with 10x more posts, and 10x less people. The RP died horribly, and I never knew what happened while I was gone.
I hope eventually everyone will become casually normal, with very slight weird things happening. Possibly the gauntlets get destroyed, but a weaker prototype version of them are found, and will become replacements. The twins get thrown in jail, or have their arms chopped off. Things will calm down, hopefully soon. I hope we can salvage this RP, rather than demolish it and start over. But, I will start over if that is what it takes, which I don't think so at this point.
Thank you Ragna, you have already followed the new rules. xD

That could be a bad idea. It would just mean throw up as many ten paragraph bios of the same character with minor differences until you get in. "Aw man, Ryu didn't get in. Maybe if I make Ryu with flaming eyes, and add an extra paragraph to the bio, I'll get in."
Another thing, (I've been doing this a lot for some reason.) We have too many characters that are not japanese. But, wait a second, why is this a problem? Well, if you look at the statistics, only 3% of Japan is not Japanese. That's mostly because they're the most xeno-phobic people alive, but that's roughly the statistics. If over half of our characters are clearly Americans, (no one in Japan names their child something from another nationality, as it would be considered dis-honorable. Sure, idols are allowed to do this, because it isn't their actual name.) sure this may be nit-picking, but even the tiniest amount of research into japan should tell you this. Anime's are some of the worst representations of Japan, ever, so they don't count as research.
Cheaters are thrown out of the competition. Boom! Problem solved. xD. But we would probably have to make a separate thread to discuss people getting in, since we're having such a hard time here.
Yes, I understand that too. Of course, it is a convention going on... so that makes sense that the most popular technology in the world be celebrated by other countries by attending... but still, your point is still valid. Plus, we haven't made it real clear what languages our characters are speaking. All these other people... are they understanding the Japanese language being spoken, or are they speaking English, and somehow everyone's understanding each other? O.o
