Welcome to Gaia! ::

I wasn't really aiming to shame, but I had conversations with more than just one individual(s) I highly respect in terms of writing and the more general a concept is, the more flexible it's development is, but I shared the belief that was first cast to me from another that it felt as if a handful of entries were a little lacking in development. The core idea holds any number of branches to go off of and they're great ideas.

I'm sorry if everyone's getting the 'self promoting douche' vibe from me. Self voting is no different than explicitly giving your idea leverage no matter how it stacks up. I found out Den actually really liked my idea, and it seems (to me atleast) that the core of his idea could still be exemplified through my own clan. It's an idea. Please, no pitchforks...

The holidays and work, but things should be slowing down and i should have the energy to post more.

P.S: I haven't caught up to the ooc, but i i saw something about my clan being discredited ninja

I mostly agree with this. I had conversations with a friend some time ago and it felt as if systematically it was geared closely to owning a pre-created unique weapon and applying that point effect "Soulbound" (or some variation of naming)


-scratches head-

Seeing how everyone is taking it certainly hits home, but I'm not embarrassed in the least to promote my own ideas. I looked at the concept provided by Den, but couldn't find any inspiration for my own use. I did know however that Den had shown real interest in my concept. I thought about it as a compromise the fit between the lines and technically squeeze two concepts through one slot. I think I ultimately screwed the introduction to the idea, but it's not to say that even proposing the idea properly that anyone would have looked at it objectively instead of immediately looking for the worst in me.

Again, sorry if I really insulted anyone. It wasn't my intention, but I'm very straightforward. When there's something to be had and I put almost the event's span of time into the idea, I'm going to step out and put it forth. I'm gonna push it to discussion and look for compromises to further the idea. It's an investment with a lot of flexible options systematically and RPically and carries a highly defined concept. I proposed it knowing that atleast 3 other people besides me had genuine interest in it. I'm not gonna say people didn't put time into it. Karasu told me prior he spent 3 hours on his idea. That's great. Does that mean I'm going to forego the shameless self voting that a good number have? I'm not. I want to see this clan breathe life into the guild, more than just be on the roster and hold great hopes for it. If accepted, everyone, at any time gets a piece of the pie, no matter which clans make the final cut. It's not just myself that stands to gain, and I purposely altered ideas for the sake of incorporating people who may love the idea and not the aesthetic it shadows over a character by yielding effective options for change.

At the end of the day, I'm an axiety riddled fool fueled by a passion for the quality and flexibility of building and incorporating.

My Apologies.

I don't know anymore. This has been my go-to space since we started back up and my realm of peace of mind because my anxiety creates more problems than I've ever solved beyond it. It feels like steam is just flowing out of my ears. I feel completely spent and am not able to draw any motivation or inspiration at the moment.

Well we all get like that from time to time don't we, and I think most of us are in a similar boat at the moment

I know it sounds weird but it sound like you need sometime to relax a bit, and let your imagination have sometime to marinate with some new ideas

I think part of it comes from Naruto where, most of the clans are more focused on a character we see in the show.

Yeah a Witcher style clan all about modifying the body over years with potions and body modification that give them superhuman abilities, would be neat, also would fit nicely into Naruto with all the weird medical stuff we see in Naruto, and a sensory clan would be neat

Family always take top spot so it good your spending time with them

Yeah it will be nice to have the Orasakai but when you read it feel like a passive physical version of the "Strength of a Hundred Seal" with drawbacks, but that may just be me


Oh that must have been nice for a change of pace

I can see it, but it couldn't be at a worse time. I like the creative writing, but I came back with intentions of being a contender. My first NFS experience showed me rather clearly that NFS, in a lot of ways, is much closer to a game than an RP. Like using writing and math as a medium to replace the coding and years of software development. Hm. I'm having trouble describing it, but basically: If you neglect the 'game' by electing to write for fun and not keep up in levels, you can very easily become the bystander who winds up forced to watch everyone else have fun because your stats won't allow you to have any kind of impact or ability to set the pace.

"Multiplayer". Lol

But with events like the Chunin Exams that bring people from everywhere together, it becomes the most important aspect, cause if you're not producing the check necessary to create the setting, you're left to watch everyone else create it. Chunin Exams was probably a better example too cause the less capable of competing you are, the sooner the festivities of that event end for you.

I'm trying to formulate, but my brain is refusing.
