by I just wanted to generalize something about myself personally seeing as I am the only person thus far that's here (aside from rping) to only work on the systems. I know that all admins adopt this as well so I don't feel like I take 100% precedence here so I just wanted to put something out there.
I have looked through the old development threads and have noticed that the aforementioned systems seem to me personally to be completely over complicated, I've been doing systems for a long time now and ran some of my own sites or worked closely with founders to complete their sites. I've spent countless hours crunching numbers while trying to devise perfect, actual RPG-like stat systems and I have personally come to one realization that the more simple it is the better.
The more simple it is, the easier it is for all users to understand and so I personally would like to stray away from using exact number mana pools and stat points because that can become over complicated very fast and put a large hold on site progress because it is a vital part of the site which must be completed in order for us to open.
Basically what im saying here is that, we are an rp site and thus, creativity is a must. We as staff members are here to assuage situations and to solve problems that may arise. No system is perfect and there will always be someone who finds something they dislike about any system we implement or someone who is trying to "cheat" they system via loopholes and so we must all watch out for those things. As for my duties here, I will be pushing for simplified systems which will work despite their somewhat vague nature~
Tell me how you feel about this whether you agree or disagree it is fine~ I like to always been open to harmless discussion on things in order to work towards a common goal~
