RP [Question/Suggestion]

[Tsukune]

Question: Why are you not allowed to drop a custom element?

Suggestion: Also if possible why can we not instead of dropping a CE, can we transfer all ownership of it to someone? Or even better the CE could thereafter be used as a special element such as rain, with ample restrictions and tests.

Spam & Flaming posts will be reported immediately.

Feedback on the suggestion will be appreciated.

Thats actually very good. There are ALOT of old members. who have CE that should be of use

Well, i don't mean old inactive members as Cali told me clearly they won't ever be STRIPPED of their CE, but i want to know, if you wanted could you drop one, and it be transfered or given to the base.

An example could be typhon, he has marshmallow release and had wanted to drop it so that he can make another. Why not let him? :shrug:

I wouldnt mind the transferring part but I think the reason they made it were you cant drop so one person doesnt take all the ideas and make hard for people to actually think of CE thats not taken

I'm fine with keeping it, I only thought of dropping it because Nexus had mistakenly said in one thread that CEs were drop-able, though Cali pointed out that was wrong. His reasoning was that a CE is supposed to be very well thought out and meaningful, and not something you discard on a whim just because you thought of something else, which I understand.

Also if you think about it, the CE's we see today are much more specific than they used to be. Rather than building on a more general or abstract idea, people are taking single scientific elements or compounds and turning them into CE's, which IMO shows that people are already having a tough time thinking of new CE's. If people started dropping CE's and making new ones that's only going to get worse.

Not to mention it takes a lot longer to check them than CJ's.

Well, in order to prevent that we simply make a time period you must wait before dropping say 6-8 months?

EDIT: I understand your point there typhon, and i only used you as an example because i've never seen anyone else encounter such a problem Indeed people are delving into the scientific area but i think thats more based on the power of such a thing rather than creativity. TBH i kinda come up with a new CE idea almost every 3 weeks and i write them all down, and workout all those details along with it 0_0

Every person can make 2 CE, he can co-create 3 other CE and can use 4 CE in total. That gives a reasonable amount of breathing space. If you then are going to start dropping CE, then it means you have just been posting them unprepared and on a whim. CE are not something you can consider lightly. Outside the fact that they are powerful, they are also symbolically quite important.

People have already stated a few things I said before, but practically it's also quite annoying and inconvenient when people start changing. Even if you make it so that you give it to someone else without any kind of problems, in the end that CE was approved for you, not for that other person, which is also stated in the certificate. It would just be a plain lie if you are going to start switching. It's also not allowed to add a co-creator anymore when the element is approved, only students, as how can someone work on it if it was already approved?

That might seem silly, but CE is not something you should toy around with. Outside that they are powerful, they are also supposed to be a sign of prestige as an RPer and that is one of the few things that has actually never changed.

As a CE checker myself I have to be extremely careful with approving CE due to what they could do, so it's irresponsible when you make a CE and then later you want to drop it for another. CE are not bio's.

Thanks cali I understand why we ought not be allowed to drop CE, essentially if you don't think you really would want it later don't submit Once again thanks for the feedback.
