@ParadoxRonin Ironically your longest post ever was the easiest to read and understand.

He's gay.

:/...Coming from my own clan mate as well. See now this is what I meant by clans can fall apart. We're done Kono... we're done.

I understand your points Isis and they're very good ones. Though don't you think there should be a reward for the clans and orgs who put themselves out there and want to be the best?
If a clan was working their ass off in deathmatch I think they should be rewarded with their efforts.

With an ELO system, you don't have to be playing for years to get to the top. In fact if you beat a couple of good players you could get to the top of the leaderboard easily.
ELO rewards skill, not activity. Those clans with skill should be rewarded imo

I don't think you have the right angle over the situation.

You said yourself that people are leaving and coming. This means a clan is hardly dyeing, especially one that is guaranteed to get a KG in the official release. For e.g. the clan Ookami I think... the one created by conteledemonte, is still running even if contele is not that active, Katakiuchi got almost all it's leaders replaced and is still on it's hills. Also, I think is very fair for those who joined first to get a reward. Any small community helps a lot a project in development stage and I know it from my experience.
A game without player is useless. And only a good community base can keep the newcomers here.

Yet, it's up to the Red-named guys to decide how much should the reward be. And just to make things clear: This doesn't mean that we are still active only because we expect a reward, the game itself is a very good gift for our patience.

There definitely should be a reward for clans that want to be the best. But I don't think that that gift should be KG.
It wouldn't be realistic nor honestly fun if the gift for the strongest clan was to make that clan even stronger. That's not the way KGs are done in Naruto. It's completely random, and honestly just throwing the greatest weapon a clan can have to the strongest, biggest clan kind of breaks the balance and just.. makes the gap that was already there between that winning clan and other clans even bigger.

But you're still right though, clans that do their best should be rewarded. But like I said it's a little too early for that sort of huge gift. I mean if we all knew who will have a KG from now then.. that clan will probably have a shit ton of members joining while every other clan that lost and every other clan that will be made later on probably will just.. die out. Basicallly the way I see it is that giving out KG's too early is pretty much just like making whoever is big already bigger and making it harder for the smaller clans (which are the ones that actually need the help) to grow and attract more members.

I know this sounds like me pussying out or saying Kirishima's a small clan that won't win if this was to ever happen, but trust me that's not what I mean , but it's just that I think realistically it's not a great idea... Because KG is purely random - and that is actually the beauty of it. That's what makes the concept so special in the first place. If you take the Naruto anime as an example, no one got such a gift just for being.. stronger than anyone else, it was just based on pure luck.

But then again, just my thoughts. And I would be more than happy to have a similar DM clan/org tournament, where the reward is something else.

Okaaaaaaaaay.  I was not expecting to be the only one on this side of the poll....

Alright prepare for the buzzkill everyone. All replies to this suggestion have been 100% positive so I'm here to ruin it for you all

Although this would add a sense of motivation and bring more fun to DM, one problem remains. It's that the game is still far away from being completely done.
I'm not an old player here, but I'm sure you oldies have seen that a lot changes in a year. A lot of people leave, a lot of people come. A lot of clans fall apart, and a lot are built in return. I can ensure you that not every clan that exists now will be there two or three years from now on the final release.

So, although its a good suggestion, I just think it's not the right time.. Like it's a little too early to determine such a crucial part of the game. People / clans sometimes are forced to break up.. So what if the winning clan is forced to go through such a thing.. I mean.. like I said, a lot happens in two years. You can't be 100% sure the same clans will stick around the whole time.

And honestly it is a little bit unfair for the future clans/members who decide to join later on. "Yeaaah, you missed your chance for getting a KG because you weren't here two years before the release"

I am definitely with this suggestion, and we could do it.. just.. not yet. Just my thoughts.

inb4 hate.

On what basis? Not hating just curious

You know a ninja ain't fuckin around when he comes from a village hidden in the haze. Compare it to the Hidden Mist and I think you'll know what I mean.

Plus... Dat boil release..

Honestly I do not know if this suggestion has been brought up before, but I think it did since it's a common feature in most forum websites. If it was, then it must be buried too deep into the Suggestions thread that I can't see it and i apologize in advance for starting a second topic about it.

Basically for those who do not know : a Rep/Neg system is a feature where people are given the ability to either "Like" or "Dislike" a post made by someone on the forums. The "average" score of someone's reputation is also shown below or above their name in the forums which would help tell us if that guy is respected or if he's a douchebag. It comes in handy sometimes.

Just want to know @Vreg and the Forum Mods thoughts on this, and if it is a possibility or not.

How you lost that with 8/1?

You know them braindead feeders.

But it's fine.. I've seen worse.

Himitsu?
Ah, the apeshit crew.
Here are some of the Himitsu that I've met through the past couple of days,
One is rap-loving yet at it still sucking in many ways,
The others a little kid that all he recently did was pass his anal phase,
Their leader's an idiotic misleader that they for some reason praise,
You think you're here to amaze but all you do is rephrase,
Yall need to change the beat.
Because all what you said, and all what I read was some braindead shit to my head that you guys keep on repeat
Now you either retreat or face defeat,
Through shameful eyes that realize the real guys that brought them down on their feet,
You shouldn't even exist, so do not resist, Kirishima's Right Click -> Delete.
Kirishima win.
And just to be sure, that this forum becomes forever pure : Remove from Recycle Bin.
Fin.


might as well put yall in a burger

Tell me something you can do as a rogue ninja that you can't as a village ninja :p

Being the complete badass.

I mean alright being a village hero is cool and all, but... Those rogue ninjas that make all the trouble and have big groups of people out looking and hunting for them are the ones that raise your eyebrow.
