Naruto: Birth of a Better Generation

Moderation Notice

I have completed a preliminary roster for the shuffle around of the teams, and with it a new ethos for what the team system actually means. The team system here is going to be extremely fluid, meaning that you are free to go train with whomever you want, and your pre-set teams are only for basic compatibility and to keep everything bureaucratically sound. If two teams want to train together, that's fine, they can absolutely do that. If you want to go tag along and hop on Kirugetsu's... Uh... Train like everyone else, you're free to do so with his consent. If you want to just stay within your own team, that's obviously fine too. I'll be talking with Durn and Innue to get some plot ideas flowing within the next few days, so we can progress nicely after introductions are finally over and done with. :D

Team Moon

Kirugetsu - Beta
Shisen - Lilly
Maruki - Marrow
Taiho - Durn

Team Sun

Kami - Dystopia
Seiga - Tatsua
Kino - Prince

Team Star

Shio - Innue
Shira - Tuuj
Namine - Ouroboros

Team Earth

Jhino - Champion
Ria - Masaki
Fuwa - Kittman

I'll be welcoming all constructive criticism, as well, so if you have any issues with the setup that you can help improve, please feel free to let me know either on here, through PM, or on Skype.

I felt like I owed an explanation for what was said specifically to Marrow.

I'm all for having a constructive debate over the issue, but if you don't feel that we're capable of that, we can just end this now. I'm more of a proponent for letting opinions be known as long as they aren't inherently offensive for the sake of being offensive - if you're not, I apologise.

I've been RPing for a long time, and I've gotten a good idea of the capacity of people to fulfil specific roles over that time.

I'm not saying that you're unskilled by any means, and I sincerely apologise if anything has come across like that. You're both moderately competent roleplayers given your current settings, and you've fit in well to your team. You are, by all accounts, doing well.

I just don't think that you two are the kind of Jounin material that my standards and the standards of this thread mandate you be. I was just vocal about it early on so you don't get your hopes up that should a position arise, you'll be immediately considered/accepted, and I apologise if that came across poorly.

I think I'm going to shuffle a few teams around given the current issues. If anybody specifically wants to go to Team Moon, let me know so I can fill that gap up first (Team Moon has gotten a lot done and it would be wasteful to think about splitting them up, but other teams seem to be less concrete).

Additionally, if you could all post your timezones so I can keep a list, I'll try to rematch people in as cohesive a fashion as possible. I want to cause minimum fuss with the shuffle and get as many teams updated as possible.

Naruto: Birth of a Better Generation

There is a group chat for moderators, yes.

Naruto: Birth of a Better Generation

I'm glad! You're doing just fine in your current team.

Naruto: Birth of a Better Generation

Fortunately, your opinion is largely irrelevant with regards to moderation! :D

I'm going to bed, Durn - but if you add me on Skype or PM me in the group chat, you can discuss any ideas you've had and we can all work on them? I'm pretty pumped to see what ideas you've got going on. :D

Naruto: Birth of a Better Generation

I'm not definitively stating that you aren't good enough. It isn't fact. It's my opinion, and unfortunately for you, my opinion is one of those that counts in this regard. I'm not saying that you're bad, by any means - please don't take this that way. I just don't feel that you're good enough to be Jounin in this particular setting, especially when being a Jounin requires more of you here than it does in other places with less strict storyline interests.

Naruto: Birth of a Better Generation

I am saying that I don't personally believe you appropriate for the role of Jounin. As a moderator, it is my right to deny your Jounin if I don't believe you're competent enough to fulfil the role.

Tuuj, we have been extremely active in working on our collab. We haven't been doing anything but thinking of any ideas about the RP. So forgive me if I say that I am not convinced that your the best person for this position.

Having been active in your collab means quite literally nothing in the context of being suitable for Jounin positions when there are no available spots due to a lack of Genin. I also don't believe you're competent enough to lead a team in a setting like this. You're free to remain "not convinced that your the best person for this position" - I really don't care. I don't think you're suitable for the position, so I'm not offering it to you - either of you.
