Welcome to Gaia! ::

I mean, most people were urging me to take a day off so they could catch up just because if I would have updated last night it would have pushed me even further. Joushi is the only person in the guild that is near Ignazio's level really.

lol, that doesn't really change anything. I mean I work late nights and have classes all day, and still manage to workout for at least an hour, and this isn't adding in my club activities. As for Fruity, she's pretty busy too...sometimes.

It alright because its up to the person to pick up their posting. Its how much you put in a post too.

This always happens Elinoi, every guild I use a stat system, even when I start off at a low level or Fruity starts off at a low level even if we post with a maximum of 500 words in our posts each and post about 4 - 10 times a day, we still manage to obtain more post than other members in the guild and our stats tend to be among the top 5 members if not taking the top two slots. It's just like Ed says, it's up to the members to increase their posting. Fruity and I both have been very selective in the areas in which we add stats too as well, due to our character types, so that also makes us stronger in terms of character types. Like I said before, people aren't thinking when they update their characters. When it comes to a stats based guild or even in actual anime characters you have to think about the character instead of yourself. No character is going to be 100% masters of every Parameter, they may max out their specific fields and come close to other areas, but really, the areas that are useless to them is a waste in points, so why put points in an area that you really have no use in.

Well points aren't everything. It shouldn't be played like those Naruto guilds, nothing but a quest to power. There are other weaknesses and strengths to think about and squads to cover those weaknesses.

I didn't mean to sound like I was insulting/annoyed with the system. I think it works fine. Just sounded like you thought people would somehow catch up to the level you've attained over the short period ^ ^ Which I don't think will happen right away. Over time- sure.

Anyways. I'm sure people will start doing missions once they get a bit more comfortable. As it is more on them to build a team to do it, rather than having a team assigned to them for it.

Well they had 2 weeks at double the normal points. I was absent for a whole week due to being on vacation with my partner, and then I was active for about half a week, and even though I was active for that half a week, I managed to still do more posting than the people who weren't really gone. So I did expect them to close the gap a little. Even in time, the gap will only grow more or it'll close a little. But only time and the rp will tell.

As for the missions and promoting story and interaction, that's what they were designed for. It's a little pain in the a** that it seems I will have to make a demon character soon, because all the demon characters are either good or inactive, and we don't have a real antagonist yet and seeing how my current character isn't at a high enough rank he can't be seen as an antagonist, other than a bully within the school. But that's not really Mission worthy unless I put a price on his head or something.
