King's big bag of suggestions!

[king]

Okay...this is just a whole bunch of suggestions that I'll throw out for you. :3

• It would be awesome for there to be an update thread that tells us (the members) when you, the staff have updated something whether it be templates, jutsu, restrictions, plots, etcetera!
  
• It would be cool if you could also up the points stuff on the advertising contest, or bring down the amount you get for making a needed canon. One point for ten advertisements? Sadface, especially for me who doesn't want a canon.
  
• You could add more uses for points and more ways to get points like, IC topics, socializing / battle topics, missions. etc.
  
  Then those points could be used for OOC stuff or IC stuff you could guess. IC stuff being things like purchasing a jutsu without having to train it, learning a new skill (i.e swords).
  
• If I could be staff make up extra little smaller plots for those who don't want to go all out for a site wide plot! Allowing people to take many twists and turns for their IC history.
  
  
• Reward IC improvements! Learning new jutsu ICly, progression (rank improvements), friends, enemies. etcetera!
  

<333 Hope I get to help!

• The Twitter is used to update members, though sometimes, Neme and I are a bit slow in updating it since there's so much going on. ^-^;
  
  
• I think I will up the points on advertising. Perhaps one point for every three advertisements. I wasn't sure how the points were going to work when the site opened, but now that everything's finally getting situated, this does make more sense.
  
  
• We were actually thinking about using post counts for points, but I think it may be concentrated to certain events. The relationships are a great idea! This would definitely help get people roleplaying and making connections.
  
  
• I'd much rather have the characters learn jutsu rather than flat-out buying them--after all, not many characters can think of a jutsu, then make it a reality in a few seconds.
  
  
• There is going to be another side-plot up as soon as I finish the jutsu on one of my characters and get the posts started. I've just been trying to make sure everything on the board runs smoothly before I get to it. vwv;;

You really did help, King. C: Thank you so much for your input!

• Firstly, while this seems like a bad idea I'd consider this to be more efficient. I say right now that excluding canons, that the minor villages are closed. Now, this is probably already leaning towards the denied scale but allow me to explain. If you have lots of places and not a lot of members, you should allow them to populate area's first (the five major villages) before you start opening up extra areas, this is to allow these villages to become populated first, allowing site wide events to happen consistently.
  
  
• Extra skins! It's nice to every now and again change something up for the members, and some people may not be able to read as well as other people do with a dark skin like this, that's why I propose that we have people or skins that are lighter, just in case for some people who can't read as well. :3 I'm short sighted, for instance.
  
  
• Abolish the template for canon jutsu, the reason is simple- you shouldn't have to explain what the jutsu does. Everyone in their profile should have some sort of E - S or categorization of jutsu, then their canon names. It can be up to the staff in order to see fit if said characters are capable of having those canon jutsu as it's quite easy to search up the name of a canon jutsu online and seeing it's abilities. This prevents anyone from adding in words or abilities in a jutsu that shouldn't be there.
  
  Glad to be helping! :3

• I do see your point here, but if we do close off lesser villages, that may deter potential members (not only that, but I myself love the smaller villages and usually have OCs from them, but that's just selfishness on my part <3). Another thing is that canons do fill up a major amount of space and make these villages more populated already, therefore, why do we need to continue making those villages larger that already have a load of shinobi? I see how this would create connections between characters easier, but it also cuts down on the creativity that I enjoy seeing in original characters. That being said, if only the five major villages are being populated, that also makes characters such as Sasuke, Orochimaru, and other shinobi affiliated with Oto more prone to isolation. Shinobi from lesser villages do need character interaction as well, and allowing those villages to have more members allows growth with them.
  
  
• I am short sighted as well, but I don't have a problem with dark skins. I've never had complaints about dark skins, but we will be changing them as needed. If there are multiple skins, that means that the headers and footers that have been specifically designed for one skin may not work as well at the other, making that second one less attractive. I would rather have one decent skin than a handful of mediocre ones, if you get what I'm saying. In order for us to have more than one skin, we'd need graphics and coding that fit well with a multitude of skins and colors, and that makes them all rather dull, in my opinion.
  
  
• As for the canon jutsu template, this is more for simplicity's sake than anything. Sometimes, it can take a while to load a new page, especially on worse connections, so having to open up new tabs (or windows for some users) seems completely unnecessary when they could just have it posted in one easy-to-access place that can be glanced over. I don't care much for how the jutsu are organized in that member's thread as long as they are indeed there and can be found. The templates are more of a guideline and can be modified by individual users as they so choose as long as those categories are still included within the application; same thing with the character application. I don't really mind where it is as long as it's there. It is the staff's responsibility to read over the jutsu and double-check them for correctness. If something does slip past us and a member attempts to exploit that, then it can be easily changed. It's not a big deal.

Thank you again. <3

No problem. I agree with you for both the first and third. Secondly a good idea for that, is that we copy and paste this skin, and simply change it's colour scheme! It could be lighter via that method, etcetera. Of course, it's brilliant this place doesn't use a retardedly small font that'd squished together. :3

I feel that I should also give my 2 cents on your suggestions before I leave to go to the airport.

• I'm also against removing the smaller villages but for a different reason. Just because your from a different village it doesn't mean you can't interact with other members.
  
  
• Like Mon said again, I have never seen someone complain about a dark skin either. Dark skins are in more demand than light skins. Now if we were to follow your suggestion we would need to change the headers and footers, and I'll need to make a new banner which is time consuming (I do need to make banners for my sites as well). I made the banner to fit the khaki color you see on small portions throughout the site. All we can do for you now is possibly brighten the text a tiny bit. We will change the skins monthly or possibly during the holidays to fit each one (not this one since I'm to lazy to make a christmas banner).
  
  
• I'm guessing you don't know that wikia sometimes lags computers with the annoying little video advertisement it has in the corner right of their page (which doesn't stop after one ad). Leafninja is another site that seems to hate FF lately, so it helps to keep everything on the site. Plus god forbid someone god-modes with a technique you don't seem to remember off hand would you rather; A. search the web for it? or B. Go to their jutsu list?
