Welcome to Gaia! ::

What I don't get is why can't we try and see if another village will allow you to learn their style? If it's theirs, then why can't they teach at their will?

That's stupid. Having a rule like that is stupid. If a village feels like teaching its style, it should be able to, plain and simple. No matter how silly it may seem. What you're saying is, EVEN IF THEY ARE ALLIED, they can't teach this, because apparently, "only an idiot" would do that.

*blinks* Wait even if the Kage would allow you to learn the style you can't unless you are apart of the village...that messed up. It there choice to teach or not, who says every village is a rival anyway some villages are allies. That also seriously limits people to what they can learn, unless you pick a certain village you can't learn a style you want no matter what.

keep that up and you'll still be waiting, im having a conversation here that is very important to me being both a weapon master and rogue (which would limit me to purley universal styles which I all hate. And really want to learn infinte one sword so yeah, this has priority to me)

We are putting in more universal styles, but consider it: EVERYBODY having Eight Gates, EVERYBODY having Desert Fist, EVERYBODY having Way of the Silent Blade. A village would have no originality, no secrets to battle an enemy, and no motivation to go to a certain village. Don't like it? Sorry. This is something that Lance AND I enforce. And I add the fact that Lance made this policy because that's the only way you guys will listen, because apparently, the Vice Captain's word, whenever it's unpopular, isn't good enough.

And Kay, here's something you need to understand: I'm regulating everything BECAUSE I'm the Vice Captain. Dont act like every policy is simply something I made to make people mad. Its something Lance AND I enforce. I'm tired of all this "You arent the captain, you cant tell me what I can and cant do" crap. A Vice Captain is picked specifically by the captain because he trusts them as the best of the best as far as moderation goes. And sorry to sound pretentious, but I think I've done a DAMN fine job as a moderator. So if you want to believe that all these policies are me just trying to be a jerk, I cant control what you think. But know that you're wrong.

I would have to say the first thing can only happen if the kages just decided to teach everybody that style. Hence why they must choose carefully. While I do believe that something like Rock shouldn't have unlimited access to Sand's jutsu. If Sand wishes to train someone from Rock in the style that should be allowed. While styles are great pull factors, they shouldn't be prisons as well. While yes if someone joins Mist, they would have a much easier time getting Infinite One Sword Style. If a Cloud Ninja were to show true loyalty and dedication to Mist, and asked to learn, they should be allowed even though they not of that village. I think a simple limit of not allowing outsiders who learned the style to further teach it should sifice, which would gives the village still control over who learns it.

As I said Styles should not be prisons, telling people "if you don't go to mist you can never learn infinite one sword style", cause they may hate mist but really want that style, which isn't good for ether party.

Don't even try the argument of "Kages just have to be careful of who they teach it to." What do they do, allow some, but not others? And what about the people who learn it? Whats to stop them from teaching it to everyone in their village, to the point where it becomes one of THEIR village styles? ANd then they know not only the strengths, but the weaknesses of said style, therefore a great advantage for an invasion.

Huh, I was not aware that four people was a "Kingdom."

Maybe we'll consider it. For now, Deal with it.
