Listen you guys, I know that the site is just in a summer bog right now, I am confident it will soon rise yet again. But for the time being, and this is a question aimed at the admins, How about we have all our current active members make alt accounts? I know what your thinking, dumb, stupid, pointless, aggrivating, etc. But hear me out. Here is why I Think this will be a interesting idea. ((This discludes me, considering I have a newly created char, unless you think its fine anyway, idc)):

• Fill up Shadow Village
  
• Give Everyone something new to do
  
• Appoint/Fix areas of production within our active members
  
• Possibly create new techniques of unused/discredited fighting styles
  

All these are fair reasons in my opinion. I was also hoping to introduce the style of combined elements, such as:

• Lava (Fire and earth)
  
• Wood (Earth and water)
  
• Ice (Water and wind)
  
• Crystal(Wind and lightning)
  

We could create new techqniques for the new elements, and give people more training topics. We could possilby make the sages more active as well, MAYBE. These are just my thoughts for now. I really hope they help. If not, well Ill keep thinking.
-Peace

Well as for the elements, you can only get 2 elements when your a jounin or above thus it would be impossible for Chunnin and Genin to use these elements. And there is only a 22.2% chance of even getting the elements needed to make a combination.

True, but thats what will make the jounins that much more eliter, on top of the fact that you will be lucky if getting said elements. Besides I thought you picked your 2nd, 3rd, etc elements

5 elements, and 4 combined, the chanced are more like 4/10, so 40%, as 22% would be assumeing that you can roll the same element twice, but if this happeneds you would reroll. aside from that the math is wrong.


Aisde from that theres the starting grounds. If you start with;
Fire or Lighting, there is only 1 in the combined of each, so your roll goes down to 1/4, 25%
is you have Earth, Wind, or Water, then theres 2 combined that use each of them, so a 2/4(1/2), 50%.

If you could add one using Fire and Lighting then everyone would have a 50% chance.


Moving on from that, i do like the idea of filling the shadow village.

Yes, as do I. This can have a lot of problems though. Like only have half the people on. How about this we pick if they want to make alt. accounts. Like because half of the people will pick it. Then all of them will just do like the jounin do but only one account allowed per exam.

So what would we be doing then? The admins pick certain members? If I may add an idea, all the current members in the Exam, can be the alt. accounts. Like they'll have exam accounts, then they can RP as shadow village members.

not picking, so much allowing anyone who wishes to make a second account for the shadow village.

so 2 accounts per member, and 3 accounts per IP would seem fair(sorry brandon, but this would mean you as well, altho is your sister in deep sh*t, i dont think she's loged on in a while)

Here is the new element list:

Combustion,
Neton (Fire + Advanced Fire): the combustion element masters the
ability to burn given materials, wind users can’t face this element
and hope to have a chance, in fact even normal water will not put out
the flames created by this chakra, only a level two combination of
water with another element can hope to dowse these flames, Weakest
against Liquids, Strongest against Sound



Poison, Dokton (Fire + Wind):
This Element is the potent combination of Fire then Wind that allows
for the complete control of toxic gases and poisonous substances, the
user creates them by burning the materials needed for recipes of death

lighting based chakras... Strongest against Light, Weakest against
Mist...



Plasma, Purton (Fire + Lightning):
the “Element of the Sun” as it is refered to... it is a potent mix
of Fire then Lightning chakra that allows one to create a substance
that has the brightness and burning power of the Sun... burns from this
substance are extremely painful and are not wholly healable for people
who are lucky, or unlucky enough to survive an assault by users of this
formidable element... It is rumored that this element is the end result
of the Uchiha Bloodlines abilities in chakra formation but that rumor
is to date unconfirmed... weak against water then wind type charkas,
but strong against wind then earth chakras... Strongest against
Phasing, Weakest against Ice...



Magma, Maton (Fire + Earth):
this chakra affinity allows the user to summon from the ground molten
earth and control over the substances movements... this deadly fusion

water based charkra attacks if they get careless... weak against water
then lightning attacks, strong against wind then water attacks...
Strongest against Shadow, Weakest against Acid...



Steam, Joton (Fire + Water):

against Flight, Weakest against Diamond...



Sound, Oton
(Wind + Advanced Wind): The combination of wind then wind allows for
the free control of air particles, creating, destroying or otherwise

too powerful a force to stop with just a fire... only level 3
combinations that include Fire can hope to combat this formidable
attack... Weakest against Combustion, Strongest against Magnetism



Light, Toton (Wind + Lightning):
This balancing of wind then lighting energies, allows for users to
alter the hues of the colors around them, create beams of light, and

as Neon for example, and then exciting that substance with electricity,
one can manipulate, and create light energy... weak against fire then
lightning charkas, strong against lightning then earth charkas...
Strongest against Gravity, Weakest against Poison...



Phasing, Souton (Wind + Earth):
This technique allows by controlling the molecules of substances for
the free passing of persons or objects through other matter... by using
both wind then earth chakra together one can control all of the
particles of matter that make up their surroundings, and allows for
interesting variations that include the Kaguya Clans ability to make
the bones of their body grow and change their attributes, and another
variation in the sound brothers Ukon and Sakon who can rematerialize
themselves in one or two bodies at will... weak against fire then
lightning, strong against lightning then water... Weakest against
Plasma, Strongest against Storm...



Shadow, Kagton (Wind + Water):
this element comes from the ability of users to use control over the
air and the transparency of its vapors to manipulate and control
shadows... By mixing wind and water charkas one can create a link
between their own and another’s chakra... the famous application is
the Nara Clan’s Shadow Possession techniques that use shadows to
bridge a link between them and a victim allowing for the control of
movement... weak against fire then earth charkas, strong against
lightning then fire chakras... Strongest against Radiation, Weakest
against Magma

this ability allows for the bending of light into genjutsu mirages...
weak against fire then water attacks, strong against lightning then
wind attacks... Strongest against Shock, Weakest against Steam



Magnetism,
Jiton (Lightning + Advanced Lightning): The combination of lightning
and lightning allows for the control of magnetic polarity of ions in
the air, allowing the user to fight using attracting and repelling
magnetic forces... wind will not affect magnetic forces without being
fused with more elemental chakra to form a Level 2 combo... Weakest
against Sound, Strongest against Metal



Gravity, Geton (Lightning + Earth):
This element combines the powers of Lightning and Earth charkas to
control the force of gravity and its effects on objects persons and the
environment... controlling the very weight of everything is a potent
weapon and can leave a victim flattened, disorientated, and in worst
case utterly helpless... Our forums own Soratodai have the corner on
this element, but the Koumori also seem to have this ability as well...
weak against wind then lightning chakras, strong against earth then
water chakras... Strongest against Plantlife, Weakest against Light...





Storm, Araton (Lightning + Water)

course weather control, this chakra ability can shape and control storm
clouds, it can also alter pressures, temperatures, and compositions of
the air... weak against wind then earth chakras, strong against earth
then fire chakras... Weakest against Phasing, Strongest against
Glass...



Radiation, Houton (Lightning + Fire)
by combining Lightning then Fire chakras this element controls the heat
and reactivity of substances at the molecular level, by controlling the
heat and particle transfer at the subatomic level users of this element
use subtle but powerful attacks that in their early stages fatigued and
or sterilize victims, in their highest and most unstable stages create
reactions of cataclysmic proportions... it is rumored that Chakra
Absorbers are of this elements affinity... weak against wind then water
chakras, strong against earth then wind chakras... Strongest against
Sand, Weakest against Shadow...



Shock, Kyoton (Lightning + Wind)
this element controls the positive or negative charge in opposing
bodies of energy and create static charges... this of course can be
used to channel electricity more effectively, but also allows for more
subtle and more interesting variations... ... at any rate all applying
the ability to control the charge and flow of energy is key in this
element... weak against wind then fire chakra, strong against earth
then lightning chakra... Strongest against Explosion, Weakest against
Flight...



Metal,
Kinton (Earth + Advanced Earth): Adding earth chakra with more earth
chakra will allow the user to create and manipulate different forms of
metal... you’d think that a normal blast of lightning chakra would be
enough, but metal users are immune to level 1 lightning chakra, they
ground it before ever being affected... it takes a combination of
lighting chakra and a fusion of more chakra into a level 2 element to
combat this element... Weakest against Magnetism, Strongest against
Liquids



Plantlife, Mokuton (Earth + Water):
the user that correctly molds earth then water chakras gains the
ability to control, grow or otherwise generate plantlife... the most
prevalent application of this fusion was the first Hokage and his
manipulation of wood... but even with the extinction of that specific
ability, there are plenty of other variations still left in the
world... weak against lightning then earth chakra, strong against water
and fire chakra... Strongest against Steam, weakest against Gravity...


Glass, Gaton (Earth + Fire):

lightning then water chakras, strong against water then wind
chakras...Strongest against Ice, Weakest against Storm...

razor sharp crystal blades, and lastly the ability to petrify,
fossilize or otherwise solidify liquid based objects and substances’
weak against earth then lightning chakras, strong against fire then
water chakras’ Strongest against Steam, Weakest against Explosion’

I would like to state the fact that we have the option to make NPC's within your own village, so if a trustworthy member makes an alt in shadow village and gets approved by an admin, they could potentially have two characters, maybe even a chunin or jonin character, all because they asked and filled out a well written app.


at this point that looks like a great idea and could solve alot of problems, however since i am not the most active admin right now this would obviously not be my call.

and on the thing of creating combinations with elements.....why dont you just make a combo when you get the second element, and mean really? by the time you get the second element your going to be a jonin that has already proven themself worthy of making jutsu, so why would making combo's out of double elements be a problem?


admins, comments?

Ryouken pretty much said it all.
