Chance Occurences -- Genjutsu

Age : 31 Posts : 299

So this is another idea i've had for a while, but never really got around to implementing it on anything other then sites I've actually created.

The idea is that ANYTHING can happen in the real world, in naruto world, in la la land even. The idea of this is that a moderator would be given the ability to do things in a topic that effects character playability.

This is something that should be used EXTREMELY HEAVILY during missions.

The way to go about doing this is to have "Chance Occurrences" these occurrences may be tiny as can be, or something that completely fucks up the character's/team's whole day.

For instance, the mission to water country could require the crossing of a bridge at a certain point. la la la, get to the bridge, its not there. !??!!?! Causes player's to adapt.

Example for Non-mission, You're walking down the street, a building falls and crushes an innocent civilian.

It's pretty much just something to make Role playing a little more "SURPRISE!" Now of course Chance occurrences must have some rules, the only real rule that i have is that the occurrence cannot kill the character. It can damage them, break a bone, etc, but it won't kill them. Plus, you are ninja so most things that happen by chance aren't going to do jack shit to you anyway because you have the reflexes of "I already know whats going to happen therefore I can avoid it." [Another problem entirely]

So yeah, Chance Occurrences, just random little things that happen. The mod's don't even have to go into detail on what happened and leave it up to role players, the mod's could just be like "The building across the street just collapsed"

Moving on.

Genjutsu, or more so the breaking of Genjutsu.

The problem I have seen in the past is that genjutsu is played off as any other type of jutsu. you see it coming, you Kai out of it/stab yourself/counter genjutsu. However this is not the Case, genjutsu is not something that you KNOW is fake. This is NARUTO, anything can happen, if it means the trees just up-rooted out of the ground and started swinging giant mallots at you, you accept it and are like HOLY SHIT -FIREBALL JUTSU- or something of the sort.

This more has to do with Meta-gaming, as knowing the character's actions even though the Character may not have ever met the character. Resolution to the problem? Just watch topics. Pretty simple. Battle-topics don't happen all that often, and if players are aware that this is something that's up then they should report it if they see somethings wrong with how the character's are acting.

I like it though, having to go through topics all the time just to make RP for others a little more interesting its just too much of a hastle, but then again, I could be lazy as hell maybe? Razz

But I do like it, and would be good to not have all the missions people do, come in success Wink

. I like to see a fail sometimes. I like surprises like that, it makes everything a little more interesting.

For the genjutsu part, i understand what you're saying. But the thing is, when it comes to genjutsu people don't want to die. lol And always tend to meta game instea dof playing it around like it should be and not like if you're some master genjutsu user and easily spotting it and then using Kai.

When you're caught on a genjutsu and play it out how you want it to be or how it should be, alot of things can happen. I mean someone can use a genjutsu to disorient the opponents vision, if they do go along with it and play it out, by the time they actually figure it out they are dead.

The main problem with genjutsu is that if you're not a genjutsu user, You're fucked. That's how it was in the show, its [in my opinion] how it should be here.

Chance Occurrences:
This is actually quite a fascinating idea to implement within roleplaying on this forum. A problem which some people face when trying to roleplay something out such as socializing, is that it's a bore to read. Not many people tend to have some comedic value when they are writing up their posts. If we included something such as this then not only would the participants roleplaying abilities be put to the test but it would also make it more exciting to read for the evaluator. If they enter a dull topic, the evaluator will tend to lose interest which would effect their overall mark. However, if they were reading about how a ninja was having to rescue people from a burning building, then it might place them on the edge of the seat. Something that topics rarely do, at least when I read them. I believe that if the correct rules and an organized system is set up for this idea, then it may become quite successful in the future.

Genjutsu:
Indeed, this is a problem which many genjutsu users face whenever trying to battle. On past forums, I've had people detect the genjutsu when it wasn't even activated, I've had people counter my genjutsu by using a completely unrelated technique and I've even had people state that they saw the genjutsu coming and avoid it. It's great that people are knowledgeable about illusionary techniques, but it doesn't give them the right to say that their character can instantly detect any genjutsu. I believe people who can detect such things should be those with doujutsu, those with sensory or those who also specialize in genjutsu. If a person has none of these, then they should at least wait till they see a flaw or they find something unrealistic about the scene that makes it seem like an illusion is taking place.

The problem is that its Naruto so nothing can really be considered "Unrealistic"

Good idea regarding the Chance Occurrences,

It has been brought up in the Staff Lounge.

We'll get back to you as soon as we can once things have been discussed.

We may bring over the system that originated at Naruto: Nexus.

I'll get back to you as soon as I can! :]

Note of the Genjutsu:

Meta-gaming as well as god-modding are always going to be constant opponents for a Moderation Staff on any sort of Role-Playing site. If this happens - speaking on general terms here - then please contact an Administrator who will then press a Role - Playing Moderator to of course moderate the topic. This is the best we can do, considering the Staff cannot read every single topic that is posted here.
