Burst link! welcome to the accel world (accel world role play-reboot!)

@Jangel13 Bump.

Digimon: Digital Adventure.

Yes, I understand being politically correct is a pain to implement in reality for more developed games, but since we're here helping you out in the very alpha stages of your system, it's not a bad suggestion to attempt so now rather than later. I mean, if you don't expect your game to turn out well popularity wise, then I get your lax attitude, but IMO it's better to assume for the best rather than the worst, which includes covering for the latter.

I'll PM you my suggestion later then, but for now I have a different idea to see how I can game the system.

Uhhh...figurative language, not hiding much except I've always sort of had my character stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Digimon: Digital Adventure.

Ummm...thanks for the patch notes? And I didn''t realize @Iatos would be deciding my character progression for me, though I can respect his decision if i.e. my Alphamon happens to not be THE Royal Knight. Just these contraints (among other things like stats) are my pet peeves as a power gamer in RP systems.

If it's welcome, I could post my own suggestion for family stat bonuses, for you to consider adding in a future update; the hypocrisy of suggesting on my whim versus yours can always be settled through compromise, since you aren't the GM at least for this game, or an opaque game creator.

Been a while since I've done a long post, but now that I've got a whole week of vacation ahead of me, expect more and as often as possible.

Kris retrieved his buzzing phone from his pocket, just at the doorstep to his apartment. A brief scan of Angelo's message later, he shrugged. "You deal with that, Lily knowing her would probably run faster," he cheerfully muttered to himself, "Though I'll be interested if they cross onto Eighth and Kaiser."

He briefly glanced about the panoramic view from his apartment porch; downtown was a bit farther than from where Angelo was giving chase. Usually Kris left for school as the morning fog rolled in, and on tutor days he returned as the sun was setting, but on the rare Wednesday cloudless day the sunlight felt great on his face. Especially when today was the prelude to a victory tomorrow, assuming all goes according to plan.

As he unlocked the front door and took a step in, he again remembered his dilemna. He stopped, one foot in the door and nervously tapping the doorknob. "It is really hard to think about this quantity of benefits now, when I know and can sell out two Burst Linkers right next door. And who knows where Ochre Technic lives, by all means he could be an AI himself and I'd be the incompetent one."

That petulant second voice returned in his head, it urged him to further his ambition. "Yes, 'advancement' and 'unyielding to anything' sound great, until I meet the faces of those who lost their memory of part of their life, because of me. Would I not feel guilty when I see them talk normally and act normally, and I can't help hide behind an unassuming face, their dirty little secrets? Is this really what I signed up for in a 'game'?"

Kris's other foot shakily made it inside, and he shut the door, letting the cool shadow of the interior envelop his thoughts. Finally taking a deep breath, he slid down to his haunch before pulling up his Neuro Linker and began to code his backdoor. He sat there for how long, an hour? or an eternity before finishing touches and downloaded it to the tablet. Pulling out the phone once more, he stared at its back, and whispered, "How lame is gray as a color? I should've asked to get something vibrant, perhaps orange..."

He typed in the message that would pull the trigger on everything, and left his finger hovering over the send button, waiting for Angelo or Lily to reply first. Or Ochre Technic. He shrugged again.

"Let death knell."

Fair enough, I'll apologize for the tone I conveyed through my writing then. However as my experience in tabletop RP DOES outweigh forum RP, I don't see how the former changes in practice from real life to online, the only difference being method of communication. Yes, I've participated in enough casual threads on this site to understand it's almost purely narrative, but adding on the rules of a tabletop system like D&D changes the dynamic by a lot, no? I'd say it's rather pretentious for you to think there's nothing more for a player to want out of your RP system than narrative elements + what you've just implied to water down as "complicated house rules". It does not matter the scale and popularity; there will always be a power gamer like I to join these types of games, "exploit" whatever rule imbalances can be found, and then it is up to whoever writes those rules to update them, whether to patch those exploits to keep players in check or further open up the boundaries. The only way to..prevent this is simply not have the RP system in the first place, and then we just return to a regular forum RP where this drama IS rather unnecessary.

It was absolutely a coincidence that your RP system was biased towards a character like mine, I've always wanted to play the Dorumon-Alphamon line in whatever Digimon RP I could join. No I do not support godmodding, and I find it funny when people try too hard in casual threads to make their character stand out. However, perhaps to somewhat prove my point I will be changing my character just to take advantage of the most favorable rules applicable to it -- unless you agree with my advice and arrange a compromise with perhaps the GM, if you so choose to divert your emotions that way.

@tobiax Ahahaha, you're not getting away that easily. I don't care much for the GM's say in this, because this problem I have with you is definitely not going to be fixed by house ruling. No, this is YOUR game system that you've created, YOUR responsibility to fix it, and right now YOU are evading that and my legitimate concerns. You are exactly the type of person I loathe to RP with, even worse when that person has made it based entirely around their own game, and then plays the fickle god who decides not to listen to any opinion or reason except from those he can talk down to. I've already explicitly mentioned I'm here as a player to troubleshoot and work out any technical issues with your game system, and right now I'm just barely tolerating your presence.

@Jangel13 I feel awkward bumping people. I believe @NightmareInd's absence should be settled?

Digimon: Digital Adventure.

@tobiax I'm asking for specifics, what can be categorized as a 'Favored Enemy/Systemic Foe'...

And yep, true damage, let's see if 2 Royal Knight features are worth spending max Generation on, or if I can retrain...

I am deeply in protest against this lack of...proportionality in Family bonuses. I understand Vitality and Wisdom represent important quantities that should be limited in scope, except I notice the hypocrisy in having 1 Vitality family and none for Wisdom. Also some of the obviously inferior stats (Agility, Cunning) each have 2 families with 5*, isn't that just a waste? Furthermore your apparent taste in Giga Cannon spam (you cannot deny the resemblance energy system makes with WoW type games) for families that don't just rely on ranged attacks (though I concede the majority of powerful attacks in Digimon ARE ranged), leads me to believe little forethought and much whim has been given to write this mess. If you're going to encourage players to multi family for stats and features, then for crying out loud, BALANCE THE STATS OUT CORRECTLY!!!

Unless there is approval to change whatever needs to be edited and patched in your RP System, I will be severely disappointed in your indifference and lack of redress, and may just drop out of this game.
