Being a little cheeky tonight, are we not? We never said we had to implement these systems, we chose to, to give players other ways to build up their characters, because in our eyes it was a shame that players brought so much to the table, but were unrewarded for doing so. But to simply hand out individual rewards could be viewed as heavy-handed from the moderators, thus a system where utilizing different fields of study/research/progression that we have found to be character favorites or that players have utilized that add more in other regards to the guild.
Players that want to make weapons, now we quantify what they can make and the steps to how they're made. And they get experience through mission rewards for doing so. No individual or varying experience handed out from differing mods, but a set amount.
Player wants to make scroll paper instead of always having to run to Takumi to buy it, that's fine. They can even buy a shop permit and sell their wares for doing so.
We reward players with initative.
But furthermore, our playerbase has spoken. We have given them systems that are fun and advantageous, without stripping away the old system or making it useless any longer. Instead, we make what we want to see rewarded into viable systems. We wanted to encourage players who went rogue to be able to do so and to advance, I designed a system for Rogues Advancement with Mam and Azeiel's assistance.
We wanted professions to be rewarded, we made them into a valid system.
On your view of villages. The guild has maintained an activity level in most villages, one faded, it was recovered. That village is now beginning a rebuilding arc and several new members have joined to make characters whose arrival should be appearing soon. We stand behind our own and our playerbase we want to see them thrive without having to limit them to options of Red or Blue, or X, Y, or Z. We encourage creativity, we encourage diversity, but people with close-minded opinions forged in the cold flames of our history and their own bitter bucolic views of us, stand to oppose in moments such as these with arguments best served on a Blizzard games forum, and not on a GaiaOnline Board.

I Tortured Sleep I Because I have seen that tried and failed so many times it's not funny.
What they're doing here is working clearly, there's more than a few people active and people are joining in all the time. All of the villages are doing something, even Konoha is up and running again. The only village not active is Otogakure and that's because no one wants to put up with Horace's s**t.
You're not putting anything constructive in to this guild, clearly. You're not active, and I haven't seen you doing anything since you said you were going to leave but then didn't. Complaining and being a sarcastic a*****e isn't going to get you anywhere, it's just gonna make people mad at you, and then people are going to ignore you. It's fairly clear you don't want the guild to improve, you just want to complain because you can. Like a troll, but a failure of one.
So please, if you have nothing nice to say, or nothing constructive to do, please leave. People put time and energy in to this guild and the ideas that have been made, and you're acting like a bully from the fifth grade and no one's buying in to it.
I love the way this guild does stuff, and the "endless grinding" is called goddamn progress. It's making it realistic, life is a grind too. It also helps people to obtain things by putting ACTUALLY EFFORT in. And nothing feels better than getting something you fought tooth and nail for.
If I go out I'm calling out the bullshit I see. I've been in this guild for years and really, what's changed?
Villages keep dying from inactivity or at best there's only two villages that are the most active most of the time. So why not cut it down?
And you're goddamn progress is just goddamn busy work. When I first joined this guild I put in the time to level up characters and I couldn't get past jounin because it just became SO BORING. And the job systems for religion? It does nothing except give you a fancy little title and a bit of a post reduction. But that certainly doesn't help if you get bored because you have to repeatedly post "I do the thing" again, and again, and again, and again.
And by the way, don't you come in being a c**t because I don't agree and participate in your enthusiasm because having been in this guild long enough the monotony has made me god damn jaded. SUE ME.
Konoha is resurrected. *slow claps* GREAT JOB. How long before another village or two dies as interest wanes and people leave AGAIN? No really, put in another rewards system as an incentive to get people to post more. Obviously it's seriously needed if you have to BRIBE people to keep posting.
Because really, nothing about this is convincing me that anything is getting better and it seems like people are just patting themselves on the back for minor things that really don't improve anything.
So that one guy in Otogakure is being mean and bullshitty? Why not do something about it? Or if it's going to die, why even bother with keeping Otogakure around?

bird lawyer CanoodlingFlibbertyJibbit Mmm, that's true. We need monsters...well, if your character does become monstrous, then I hope it works out really well ^^ I'd like to see monsters in this guild, wreaking havoc. Well, as well as monsters can work out. c; I'll make sure she keeps her clothes on akatsuki curse has me paranoid but I definitely wanna see her mess up some villages. I hope my Marie can cross paths with your characters more some day, though! I wanna try and have her meet all teh ninjas evar.
Egad, monsters! In the darkest recesses of tall forests, the most barren of demon deserts, or the depths of the widest oceans?

I have the barebones of the first compendium all set. Just need to eek in some time for a few formatted descriptions and spoiler sections. (there are several rather large images that need spoilers) After that, it'd be in the hands of the members~
