I'm going to take all of this and post tomorrow my ideas.
For you all to reply to. Keep responding however.
As you saw our little, display from older member Reeve and his frustration with me. As you can see, I've deleted his posts, simply to inform you that this is serious business. By allowing this forum I am trying to be as fair as possible, and I PM'd everyone the same way, given them all a month to reply. If not, they would be kicked. To angrily storm in and not share your opinions, merely post and disrespect me is not only an insult to me, but an insult to everyone trying to make this, better, this being the GNA.
I will not tolerate your anger, frustrations or emotional outbursts if they are not constructive. I will delete your posts, and if need be, I will delete you on a WHIM, regardless of what you may have to say, or may have contributed. Though some would be in consideration.
Truly I want everyones opinion and to be as fair as possible. So, continue to post here, your ideas, thoughts, and concerns, and be as respectful to others opinions as you can.

It wouldn't be the GNA is everyone didn't have the chance to have people go through their storyline. If they want to keep it small, between a few people, they could use the event forum, but I know from experience that it's difficult as hell to get everyone involved in a storyline. If a person has a big personal story, or an idea for an episode, they could put it through the Admin, or post their idea in a thread. Though, I think going through Admin would be better, to keep the storyline from being spoiled for everyone.
Or we could just put spoiler tags on the thread?

Eh, spoiler's no fun.
If someone wants to include their storyline with the guild, I'd agree. Small storylines could happen in the main thread as well, but it depends on what. Things like when we went to go save Ryuu before and Zenrai was turned into a baby girl, stuff like that should stay in there. Going away and training should be in a separate area perhaps, if it's gonna be boring as hell to read.

The whole point of the story line is so no one is left out. If there's going to be separate story lines that don't pertain to the main one, then it should be very minor in general.
We don't want it to slip back to what it was before.

Honestly a storyline would be nice and would keep people more active. No complaints on that. Sorry i havent been around.... T,T Anyways, ive read all the posts so far in here. Umm honestly i do like the current bios we have to do to be in the guild, in fact it really shows who wants to be here and who just here for shits and giggles. I like being able to fall back on my bio when some one argues with me about my character and what i "cant do". In fact its help quite often.... But i do agree that there should probably be changes to it since now it seems a lot of the new generation rpers are lazy~... Id just like to keep some literate people here, cause i did run into a problem with one of my students a year back who thought smiley faces were the only way to show emotion......
I do not like the thought of the damn seals. I can only stand the ones we have now sooo can we discuss keeping that for the older members and some special cases? Cause i really hate it when new people come in here thinking they are badasses and start causing chaos and claiming OH MY BIO SAYS I CAN!!! or something like that... If we change Bios, we should probably start watching them, and do the same thing that happened when i joined. They should be approved before posted in the guild. Makes it much easier to get the bad seeds out before they grow...
Umm anyways, as far as my poor dojo being gone... Im going to miss it... I still want to be here, theres no way im leaving here at all.... Oh and a question, since i cant remember if this was brought up, are we going to have to redo our bios? I wouldnt mind considering so many things have changed since i posted mine... I wonder if its still up....
Neko, i would love for you to be an evil little devil cause id would really be fun to fight you. Ishi would love it, though it would be a bit odd since well they just started getting along and all.... But honestly, i love the way you rp so i would love to have the chance to rp with you. XD
Btw, i love how everyone is showing up again. I missed all you guys.

PROFILES
I was thinking, after considering all that's been said, something like this:
Profiles:
(In Character Portion [Your character fills this out for enrollment in
the GNA])
Name:
Approximate age:
Element you will Enroll in:
Past Training you have had:
Preferred weapon:
Chraracter History (500 Words Maximum):
Bloodline (Optional):
Personal/Unique Techniques(Optional): (Please Explain how the techniques work in detail)
Note we're only talking about in character profiles, here we see that the option of bloodline has changed wording along with personal techniques. Theres a 500 word maximum on the background, which should allow the person to give enough information about how their character got to where they are today. As far as Jutsu List's goes, there is only a slot for Personal Techniques, and a way to explain them. Unique, Custom Techniques. As many of you know, Kaimen has a myriad of them. Mostly Taijutsu. Although I doubt any other RP'er besides perhaps Tutsumi has a list as large as my own, I still feel the wording on that could be changed.
For all those that are considering making a NEW PROFILE, essentially, a new character, you will be a Genin. If you want your old character, please respond to the PM that I sent to the entire guild. Even if you are posting here.

JUTSU LISTS IN THE DOJO PAGES
I like this idea, I wish and will enforce it. I know the dilemma seems to be that we're giving the students a set moves to do, HOWEVER, as you know, this is not the case. By setting up this Jutsu list system, the Sensei of the dojo now has goals to teach the students, move sets, and we aren't just focusing hard on our imagination, which would be used to focus more on ones own technique/elemental manipulation. The Jutsu lists would serve as a guideline, and is we were to follow the Naruto Ranking System, be marked appropriately as follows.
(I'll use Tsuchi/Earth as an example, though I don't think all the moves fall into the applied ranks.)
Kage- S Ranked Moves: Earth Basin
Shojiki- A Ranked Moves: Earth Dragon Bullet
Jounin- B Ranked Moves: Earth Flow Rampart
Chuunin- C Ranked Moves: Earth Wall
Genin- D Ranked Moves: Underground Fish Projection
But instead of these single moves, there would be lists, Sensei's could go through the moves on the lists and choose which ones they'd want to certain students to learn.
I haven't decided whether or not to link the moves to a Naruto Wiki Page, just so people have descriptions.

STORYLINE AND VILLAINS
Neko, you're idea is very good, we all seem to love it, but Tier brought up a good point as to say there should no only be one villain. As a result we have made pilots for multiple villains that will either aid or hinder you dude to whatever you choose/seems fitting. These villains will be their own entity entirely however, may or may not have the same thread privileges as you do for your HQ. Being that the HQ is a good Idea to kind of see where the plot is going.
As far as Kansou Goes, the shop, works, will not distract from the story, and can make Kansou a kind of anti-hero, not a true villain. Thus "Illegally aiding" the Students with items and also these favors, and deals can prove side missions/connect to mini-event stories. Directed by Kansou. It would prove fun for some. And Keep everyone on their toes, at least those that deal with Kansou.
Alignments however, can be a double edged sword, I am deciding, not to go in that direction. However, the "trades" Kansou will be doing make Kansou a bit of a "New age Orochimaru/Mephisto" I'd like to see where it leads.
I don't think I'm answering all the details about story lines here. I'll try.
As far as involving the entire GNA, I'll investigate things that would try to steer things along. What really matters the most if that everyone is talking to each other, communicating. A lot of the time we'll get "shy" character that "hide in a corner and don't speak to anyone for fear she'd be noticed" or some bullshit. Call them out, attack them, get their attention, we need to make sure that this new GNA doesn't get "cliquey" which is the BEST WAY to make sure everyone is involved. As long as we're all talking, we're all talking, we're all involved. It was that kind of isolation that made things bad to begin with. Regardless of your characters personality.
Individual storyline ideas, should be sent through to an Admin, more specifically myself. I was thinking we'd RP the GNA in "Chapters now" as we introduce characters, I would post in large bold text a synopsis and what was happening, always making an announcement myself, and then interacting from there. This way it leads into events and dies off from events. Chapters would be placed in the announcement thread, as well as the Main Dojo. Events of these chapters, then respectively go to the event thread. So, Neko's chapter would be:
"The Fall into Madness" This is the First Chapter of the GNA, starting with the Fight between Neko and Kaimen and destruction of the old GNA, to a new form which Kaimen structured along with appointing a new crew. This is the first RP post of the New Dojo mind you.
From here we establish who does what, who's who and etc.

THE NEW DOJO
Should be slightly modernized, and no longer have a medical wing or housing for the students. A Kitchen and shower/bathroom/ and a training quarter should be all. To prevent reckless attacks and activity the dojo should have it's own initiated defense protocol, to involve people in the attacks, everyone in the GNA will be assigned positions as for firing turrets or setting up shields/defenses.
As far as a dojo attack goes, that's the most where EVERYONE can be involved, at least in the defense/utilities of the Dojo.
Housing of students should now be in their respective training elemental Dojo's and then from their they move on. If a student happens to learn, all the elements, they would then be responsible for their own course of residence.
The dojo in itself is smaller, than the previous dojo if you take those things into account. The Defenses should be placed on the outsides hidden/underground and everything else, forest, lake, etc, would remain.

TOURNAMENTS AND THE ARENA
We just needed a super good guideline that everyone could follow really. We do have one, if we check the arena page, I suppose we just need to review it. Tournaments and Arena fights are Canon if so decided to be, they affect the character in any other thread, and continuing RP if said so. As Tutsumi mentioned earlier. The Cool thing about the Arena is that all fight do not have to be, like that.
For example, my fight with Nyl was canon, it was decided in the Main Dojo, and then brought to the Arena, however, it was "stopped" after they realized I was trying to kill her. Being that I won. Cause' I'm Awesome. Anyway, point is, It's optional to be canon or not. If you're testing your Ability against another fight for story or not, then do so. However! Fights do not HAVE to be in the arena, UNLESS it's a tournament, or suggested by one of the opponents/an admin.

I like the idea of simple jutsu lists in the dojos, or rather, having that reference for the Sensei.
The profiles look good, but I have a question. Would these be the profiles that a user would submit as an application? Or would it be more along the lines of the profile thread of old?
I'm a little wary of the design of the new dojo. I in no way think thst the individual elemental dojos should be ignored, but if the new main dojo is little more than a big empty room with a kitchen and toilet on the side, what's the point in everyone gathering there? If everyone spends their free time in their respective element's dojo, then we're not very different than any given Naruto RP in that aspect. Not to mention the schism would pretty much foster cliques into forming.
And something about turrets doesn't sit right with me. Maybe a few relatively small automated ones, but if we give everyone battle stations to man (i.e. AA cannons and shield generators), what's the point in training Ninja, when we could just as easily get trekkies to defend? If every thing is simple or automated, then it excludes people from the RP, or just makes defense bland and homogenized. Something like: Instead of finding a way to get inside and wreak havoc on the cyberdemon, why not just hop on the BFG and shoot at it until it dies?
I'm surprised at how much positive feedback the villain idea is getting, and I completely agree that there should be other villains, completely independent of Neko. I plan to be as active as anyone else in the Dojo(s), just using mules, or other characters, or watchdog creatures. I in no way intend to be always on the offensive, as Neko won't really be driven by hatred or revenge or anything, just more based on his curiosity and research.

Nekojiri Neko won't really be driven by hatred or revenge or anything, just more based on his curiosity and research. This reminds me too much of Profession Stein from Soul Eater...good guy...just tends to step over his boundaries when it comes to science. >>; You should watch the anime, Neko, or at least read up on his character. I think you'll like it.

The idea for Dojo Defenses is that, they aren't fool proof. But it gives people something to do until they get a chance to go out and battle. Some RP'ers won't feel confident enough to take on a giant demon, as such, they should have this kind of option. Kansou and I were discussing how modern the weapons would be, we decided something near 1950's, as far as guns go.
