Konoha Tavern - RP General Chat Discussion

[Zaphkiel]

Personally, I'm having a little difficulty parsing the whole storyline. Just from looking at it, it's interesting enough, the missions presented so far come off as some basic tower defense style of game. The ability to choose sides with the Freehold or fighting hordes of CoT with the Amputation are fine additions to the game. This is my understanding of the game so far.

However, I do find the game presented in its state to be too ambitious, given the number of players currently participating or wanting to partake in it. For example, killing 3,000 CoT to progress the Amputation story seems a little out there given that an S-Rank mission would equate to 20 of them. Assuming that people actively partake in these S-Rank missions, that's still 150 missions that need to be completed for the Amputation to progress its storyline. It seems very unattainable to me, given the purpose of this NW arc is to become reacquainted with the mechanics of the game.

Thanks for voicing your concerns. Yes, these requirements were originally set high because the Phase 3 rewards would have compensated players fairly enough for all that effort. In addition, there would be NPC actions that help or slow down progress for the Factions. We might not get to see this based on current activity, though. Also, with the idea of making Objectives submit-able, I could definitely lower the bar for progress.

And yea, the story is massive as ****. It's why we wanted this Flashback Arc in the first place. It's meant to be a rest stop for players who are new or returning to the story to sort of catch their breath and reacquaint themselves with the NW. Again, by the looks of it I may have to do make some drastic changes to this formula. People don't like rehashing old events :/

I can't speak for everyone obviously. But I can see this 'event' being a set up for different story based events. A sort of prologue to the following story. However, the event itself didn't do anything which couldn't already be done from what I could see or tell.

We gained rep with a faction for participating which I believe we could do anyways. This being the case, the event didn't feel like it mattered either since there was no other incentives. Not that we necessarily need incentives but it didn't offer anything different from what we could do currently.

I get what was trying to happen so I think the main issue is the fact you called and referred to it as an 'event' which is not what it feels like.

An interactable story prologue sure.

I planned to participate where possible anyways but atm im struggling with spare time and didn't want efforts to be wasted in any way.

The flashback also doesn't really engage everyone. For me personally it doesn't make sense for my character since in the past he was something different. This is more personal to me ofc but was a reason why I wasn't sure how or whether to proceed

Have there been any Ninja Rank resets or changes since 2023?

Attribute System released in December 2022. So speed isnt tied to rank anymore. Otherwise not really.

It is indirectly cus there is a ceiling as you’ll have less APs to distribute to AGL.

I was here in '23 for a bit so have been aware of this change, thanks both for input!

Can't wait to spend 6 hours on a bio to never actually RP with it.

Also, I hope AI usage is a bannable offense in RP?

Yeah outside of bios.

"More will be edited and added into this post and linked as finished but a more serious note regarding the use of A.I. in bios, missions, customs, etc around the RP. While it can sometimes be time consuming to create approvable customs or meaningful missions, it must be stressed that A.I. generated submissions outside of Biographies will not be accepted. While these would already go against plagiarism and fair play rules of the NW, it needs to be further stressed that these types of customs are not acceptable. Many favor these aspects of the RP because they allow for creative outlets and to see that diminished through the use of AI submissions would really bother me. That said, any submissions checked suspected of being A.I. generated will be marked pending or skipped over until checks have been done to see to verify. Once a specific point is met ( for policy, I cannot tell that number ), that submissions is automatically declined. Should this occur a number of times after warning, a ban from the custom submissions subforum or from submitting missions will occur. Hopefully, this does not become the case or become frequently addressed but it was a major thing to consider given the current state of the internet and AI content."

Yes it is banned in the Roleplay. The sole exception is like for bio art and things that are 'minor' like their personality/looks sections or history. I have asked and use of it for VERY minor things too like grammar correction or spelling for missions is fine, but to have it completely write missions, customs etc is not allowed.

Alright this does make a lot of sense, thanks!

I think grammatical corrections are fine.

 

[Kooljay]

The RP dying again?

 

[Akisha]

I would really love to participate and find the story interesting, but have been busy af irl. Hopefully I will join in the next few days.

 

[Kooljay]

Its not even that. Customs, trainings, bios, etc haven't been checked in a month. Stuff like that really stalls out the rp and discourages people from participating.

 

[El Alucard]

Make me sensei , I’ll check all the customs xD

 

[Kooljay]

I dont have the years of knowledge to check customs, but I could check things like mastery submissions, missions, bios, and battle submissions. Or share those responsibilities so the RP doesnt halt.

They really should consider bringing back the Shishou system. It would make things a lot smoother for everyone. A Shishou could do all the things you mentioned, then the sensei or moderators would just step in to review and confirm those checks, instead of handling everything themselves and having periods of inactivity that slow down any traction we might have been having. It takes pressure off the staff while still keeping everything accurate and fair and most importantly, active

 

[Skorm]

Rip the nrp, this time it feels final..

 

[Gutsy]

I mean.... none of the staff is checking or doing anything for customs. I could probably single out people for their lack of effort or work, and could also say something about choice of sensei.

Also for Zaph i talked with him, and i guess I got ignored. All i have to say about what happened in the NW is: I told you.

Shishous would solve a lot actually.

Respectfully, I need you to stop referencing my name and get on PERVY and LEE'S ass for their abandonment of duties. You spoke to me on Discord and I gave you my full, honest thoughts on the matter and how I planned to proceed. You didn't get the answer you were looking for: that I would scrap the whole thing and restart with something that catered to you, and so you call it being ignored.

Don't let me start posting screenshots of personal conversations. And tell Dan that his pissy fit because his customs weren't checked is not a valid reason for abdicating and sending you, his honorable foot soldier, to the frontlines to whine on his behalf. I'm doing/have done everything in my duty and power to keep this game running and when your friends ruin it look how quick you are to bring up my name as if I'm the reason the RP is dead and/or dying.

I'll gladly take someone under my wing to help. The reason there aren't more sensei/shishou is because LoK thought it unnecessary given the current number of players. I'd even remove 50% of the currently active sensei and replace them if it were up to me...

LMAOOOO

Ain't Dan the one that basically did all the customs for 4-5 months and only stopped this month? The same period of time L wasn't around? And L only became active in this last month, basically reversed their shit. Lee has been gone since December iirc. I ain't gonna comment on the other shit as I'm not aware of it, but be ffr lmao.

Bios been sitting for a month plus, where's Robin?
Customs have been closed for a month now and from what I see most have been checked, even if badly , and yet the threads are still closed. Where y'all at?
NW, personally I didn't care for the story, but based on the activity and shit in this thread, it seems like it's a dud in general.
