So in this thread here: Someone suggested we use kumi to purchase naruto goods, although a good idea it is not cost effective for the site. However in said thread i made a suggestion that we ought to use it to purchase RP permissions.

Examples:
Fuuinjutsu 10k kumi
CM 15k kumi
EIG 15k kumi

Stuff like that.

xd no way would we lower the prices, at any rate they really should be increased as those are extreme RP perks. Honestly villages are alloted 15 CJ, but with each additional one they need to pay 50k kumi, for just ONE CJ these are whole sets of jutsu and such. 15k would be generous.

I have to agree with the prices, I makes me want to post more so I can get a CJ. Also it makes the CJ more unique and more meaningful.
Only for official NB RP villages, we currently don't have a CJ limit, but CJ's made by a village can be used by all its members, and up to 15 if said village wants one past 15 they must pay 50k if declined only 25k gets refunded.

I think it would be a good idea but there are some flaws. For one its technically a reform of the current roleplaying system and for it to be fair and give equal chance to all members of the roleplaying community all current abilities would have to be reset and all Kumi would have to be reset as well.

You would also get alot of spam posts because people are trying to up there Kumi which means unwanted and useless posts.

It also doesn't take into account roleplay ability. You could end up with a load of people who are technically awful roleplayers with hax abilities which would destroy the roleplay as people wouldn't want to get involved.

And lastly you would need extra staff to monitor and deal with the transactions and controlling the distribution of abilities.

I'll address your concerns one by one:

It doesn't introduce a new RP system, everybody would keep what they currently have.

Spamming posts isn't that effective five posts equals 1 kumi, you'd need to post 500 times for just 100 kumi, as such many wouldn't be tempted to spam enough for 10k kumi, and people who do so could simply get their kumi reduced.

Not really, as expensive as it is not many people have enough kumi to actually purchase these things and most who do have been on the site long and pretty much have these abilities anyway.

Yes, we probably would need a staff member to look over the kumi transactions and to monitor the monetary system.

Hardly anything would be changed, this just gives those who have alot of kumi, but aren't skilled enough to win tournaments, and such a chance at becoming a decent RPer. (Not that these things would make up for skill, but they would help.)

Well as you said, nothing would really change if you did it the above way. It would still be people who have been here longer have the same jutsu and the ability to get more jutsu. So whats the point of changing it?

And in my personal opinion people who can't roleplay shouldn't get things like CM or CJ, they should be reserved for people who can roleplay. People who can't roleplay and can't win tournaments shouldn't be able to get these things until they can roleplay and until they can win the tournaments.

Don't get me wrong, i think it could work and would work if the forum was just starting out, but when you have a system that isn't broke, why fix it?

Remember when Fuuin, CM, and EIG required that you win a tourney or take an incredibly tough test for it in the case of EIG?

Good times...

It could work, but only for things which would require permission. It would also mean someone who has say, 50k Kumi and just started RPing could get Fuuin or something quite easily, which isn't fair. Also the fact that people would be more inclined to share their kumi or be like "gimme ur lunch money pipsqueak" would rise. But that's just the negatives.

I can see it working though, it would rise the amount of Kumi stealing battles and bank raids. :3

Well, there would of course be exclusions like:

You have to be involved in RP for 4 months, or something like that.

Indeed it could also make it more realistic for battles, if you killed em why not loot them as well xd

RP permissions? The kumi would only go to RP mods. The last time I checked anything RP related to anyone of a teaching status eg. training should not cost kumi.
