So far, it seems as if the RPG has gone smoothly, and I believe that Raven8 has sent out a Mass PM (PM to all members) about how to improve the RPG...
Although a PM allows for more privacy, let's just share some ideas and compare them with one another, perhaps we can collaborate...
Some of my opinions:
- too much socializing in the RPG, perhaps more fighting would work, but not too much
- add an extra post to the bios for the Navi's personality, not just the one for the stories, but something like (for example, in MD's bio):
LIKES: melee weapons, particularly spears and swords; oppurtunities to lead Navis; open-minded Navis; aiding citizen Navis
DISLIKES: Dark Chips; braggarts; tyrannic leaders/despots; power-hungry people; hypocrites
GOOD POINTS: righteousness; honesty
BAD POINTS: arrogance, occasional anti-social lapses
- we need more Giga Fusion, perhaps DS versions...? O_O
- more places, A LOT MORE... open areas such as Densan/Akihara Area, Kotobuki Area, Amerouppe Area, Ajiina Area, etc....
- more evil Navis... Shademan and Napalmman ain't the big bad wolves... XD
- Navi abilities, every Navi starts with two, and abilities are like special extras on a character, for example:
SPECIAL ABILITIES: Viser - blindness has no effect
Raging Will - if under 10% of life, all attacks deal 1.5x damage
- (no offense to anyone) less typical debuts for Navis, for example, instead of operator creation, fight them online or perhaps find their junk data
- Missions should be added at a faster rate
- more clarity on Hall of Fame qualifications
- update the rules regularly (i.e. I was about to make a Bug-elemental Navi since I didn't see it listed as boss element in the rules, but I was told Bug is a boss element, and therefore I had to end up writing a second bio)
So, anyone wanna' post their ideas or comment on mine? ^_^"

OK, lemme talk @ you about your ideas....
1: The RPG HAS been overly slow, but it will pick back up... starting tonight! *grin*
2: Thats what the mini-stories are for
3: Giga Fusions aren't working out... I MIGHT go another route.....
4: VERY soon
5: (See above)
6: That's what hyper modes are for
7: I don't have control over that....
8: I've drawn a blank... >_<;
9: That's coming soon too... Hall of Fame is made VERY hard to get into for a reason.
10: I've been lazy >_<;

XD to #10... But seriously, I'm saying with the Giga Fusions, is that you made them a little too poweful... And a little too dependent... Something where they could use them without the other Navi....
I mean, I only used Crash Soul and Rei no Koudoutai (which is now defunct) once, only in that large battle...
As for the special abilities, I forgot to add:
- Special Abilities can be bought/sold/traded
- You may only get another slot for Special Abilities every two versions after V3... You get 3 slots at V3
- You start with 2 slots
- Some SPAs can only be used at certain version numbers (no rich newbies can run around with something all-mighty, in other words)
- SPAs can be created by other players to have sold at other stores EVEN if all their Navis are full, but the created SPAs will not be in the profit of the creator (much like the SE system)
- SPAs can be powered up every three versions
Although a Hyper Mode does give traits, I was thinking of ways to make a Navi even more unique... I mean, Viser Scan, an old move of mine (defunct) was an attempt at this... Of course, the Special Abilities would ALWAYS be weaker than Hyper Mode Abilities...
It was just about making parts of a Navi's arsenal or equipment to be able to be utilized in battle.

Just most important is that they have to go by the Admins first or Mods...
And make sure they're weaker than Hyper Abilities.
EDIT: w00t! New areas! Sugoi!

Mind if I disagree with some of that? Okay lemme see:
1. Giga Fusions ARE weaker than Hyper Modes. Some people's Hyper Modes are off the wall. Have you looked at any of them lately? That's proabably one of the most unqiue things of the naivs right there.
2. From the way it sounds to me, aren't SPAs like the chips and programs that can also be bought/sold/given?
Not a whole lot I disagree with. They are all mostly good ideas, though. ^__^

And now I disagree with your disagreements... XD
- Giga Fusions should probably be powered up, then... Or the Giga Attacks should have less stringent limits on them as to quantity of use... Come to think of it... I think we could somehow make Hyper Fusions... Fusion by Hyper Mode... And as Raven said on another topic of mine
Giga Fusion = Soul Unison
So perhaps...
Hyper Fusion = Chaos Unison
And to keep the ratio proportional, it would last two turns... Hyper Attacks can be used an extra time without counting as the individual Navi's one time use...
- SPAs... I guess... But I was just thinking instead of something generic, that we could have something more unique... XP
And thanks for the compliments...
Raven, I suggest that you also have a Mission generator topic for users to contribute ideas...

Those sound like really good ideas... I can see why your member of the month... o.O
As for me I have one idea..
Raven I've seen alot of the battles with character Navi's and some of your NPC type Navi's and I guess i should ask before i make the statment, but is there any one else helping you with that? If you split up the NPC Navi's or The NPC Navi battles with some of the admins or mods or highly commended and trustworthy members to help you out with that... to kind of... make battle play slightly faster so you dont have to worry about posting on 50 different battles... I can see how tedious it might be.

Aye, I agree... But the truth is, Vile's on break, X can't access as much anymore, and Suki's on vacation... Therefore he's stuck with NPC duty. :-/ I did see other admins control NPCs... Suki controlled Serenade, for example... X controlled Spider (from Command Mission)...

I heard... Orlando...
Zeek, this place is open to all members. I think I agree with you there, though... Except I think people who have shown strong RPing skills should be allowed to, not just any random member. ;)

Not to be mean or anything but the story mode is running kind of slow but all of that should be back to normal come Monday or Tuesday next week when Suki is back for a spell. Raven, I know you're working really hard on this but you should consider some more frequent members as admins to help out more. I don't to sound like the other admins aren't doing their job well or anything but it might help, at least until the others are back. As for all of the ideas, they sound great. I think maybe implementing a few special abilities like Kaji said would a good addition. It would give the RPG a little more flexibility. The main biggy though is probably the battles. Maybe more battles would help, maybe not I can't tell. The only thing is expediting the process. Here is an idead though. I think you should start all Navi's at 0 karma. Then, depending on their actions, their karma goes up or down.(I know this is basically what you already have but the difference comes in a minute)Once their karma reaches a certain level of + or -, it should stay that way indefinately and they should have to follow it until the character is deleted, or some tragic occurance causes it to change, such like most anime series.(Example: Sailor Moon, when Sapphire turns against Wise Man and Wise Man kills him causing Diamond to turn on him seeing his own brothers death at Wise Man's hands)Understand? I know some of this sounds pretty mean and spiteful but I'm just voicing my opinion.

OK, too many members have been pushing to be admins, so I'm going to be blunt.....
I WILL NOT allow ANYONE to be an admin UNLESS THEY SHOW GREAT SKILL. Please don't ask, or offer to be one.

I never said anything about BEING an admin, I suggested you either get more admins or get different ones for the time being.
