I spoke very briefly about this with you, ShykeWolfe, however I wanted to give an official and formal response. In regards to rationing and the sorts, there's nothing from stopping anyone including this idea of rations within their Missions or other roleplaying topics. Of course, you already know this and wish for it to be enforced site - wide and, as seen from the replies above, no one from the site, thus far, seems to be a fan of the idea. As others have pointed out, it's a nice idea, one that appears to add challenge for the Member(s), but having to actually play it? I can see how others wouldn't want this as a must on Missions.

To bring in my own 1337 gaming experience, some clown thought it'd be a brilliant of adding Hunger to a game, a game filled with mining and crafting. Obviously I'm referring to Minecraft and this clown is none other than Notch. Who does this bloke think he is? Adding Hunger? HUNGER?! As if the dreaded Creeper, Zombie, Skeleton and Spider weren't enough, I now had to ensure I was eating just so I could run. What is this... real life? I don't want any of your pancakes, Notch! Clearly the bloke can't lift, so he had to include Hunger as punishment for those of us who did and what a punishment it was... Q_Q

That aside, enforcing rations and rationing doesn't appear favourable on the forum. Though, as said before, there's nothing from stopping you from enforcing it within your own Custom Missions. I believe you also brought up wanting a greater challenge within Missions, as well as stating how the current Generic Missions were easy and repetitive. To answer on Generic Missions, they're meant to be repetitive and the early ranking Missions are of course meant to be easy. They're generic afterall. Missions ranked B and above are meant to be the missions that present a real threat and a real challenge to the Members, but C and D Rank Missions, well, they're meant to be the easy ones that any Genin can do. And, as an alternative, you along with every other Member are free to create your own Custom Missions if you feel the Generic Missions are too easy.

As for presenting a greater challenge to the Members for Missions, this can all be done through Custom Missions. Missions where you're able to write up your own description, give it your own challenge and make it as hard as you want it to be. You can involve Staff or Member controlled NPC's, you can add rations if you wish, you can even set the Mission within a dangerous or hostile terrain. Enforcing all the above though is something that wouldn't set a positive impact on the site. That's all I have to say for now, hopefully we can get this all sorted out and solved.
