Some sort of misc. island board would be great. Either as a subboard for each of the main islands in paradise (to indicate that they are near there) or just a separate board entirely. That way we can make some less important islands to facilitate the needs of whatever plot we might have in mind.

I feel like there should be some sort of exception for people who had characters accepted before it was explicitly stated that spare abilities are latent because I was under the impression I could save my special ability for once I unlocked the hybrid form on Kaz's zoan. I would have put more thought into it if I knew it was a use it or lose it deal.

With how many hit-ups we've gotten FOR it, it'll most likely go in favor of saving the special. |

I fully agree with what has already been said. Though I am not one of the people it affects, it should be allowed not just because of fairness but due to the concept of "Themes" not being properly explained from the start. Said concept isn't exactly easy to understand for people who don't read/watch One Piece, and I know there are quite a few who have not or their experience is very limited.
P.S. Just a reminder but really wanting that blockquote shortcut.

Maybe you could just liquidize the spare abilities into belly? That way if someone wants they could start off being a weapons specialist with a crazy weapon or something? |

So we're actually really for this idea. We'll make it public to see if people would prefer this. While I believe this is a great idea for future characters, I do think you should make an exception for those of us who were already accepted. Like Kazimir I would have taken all of my potential abilities if I knew they would be taken away after I was accepted. As someone who wanted to build their skill set up through roleplay and plot, it felt better at the time not to start with too many abilities since I was under the impression I could use them later.
edit: If the money is equivalent to what would be required to purchase a latent or special ability I have no problems with this. But how would theme work? |

Is there any reason to continue keeping the location rule in place (travel rules etc)? It seems to just cramp player interactions by limiting who they can rp with at any give time... which in most cases limits them to whoever happens to be in the area + their crew. I'm not sure if that's the root of the problem for activity as a whole, but would it help to remove this limiter as long as it makes sense timeline wise for that char?

I haven't even posted my application yet, so don't pay me toooo much mind, but I think overall location rules harm RP especially with a small playerbase. Players can easily organise their own timeline, right? Half the fun of forum RP comes with being able to roleplay with anyone at any given time, regardless of time or location. Travel and location rules kind of stray from this, in my personal opinion. I do think it would make sense for events, adventures, or important locations to require these rules, of course, but that'd mostly be in that 'arc' or heck, even just the thread. |

In One Piece the distance between islands and sense of progression in the Grand Line is pretty important, but I've found it a bit of a hassle to roleplay with anyone outside of my own crew due to how traveling and threading works. I'd suggest temporarily suspending those rules until either our active member base grows or an alternative system is ironed out that satisfies both sides of the liquid/static rp camps.

I agree with the rest. Traveling is definitely an important part of the One Piece canon, so I don't think the concept is bad at all. However, as a person that has pretty limited time, having to make another thread to potentially thread with another person can be discouraging. I think you can trust the community to RP the hassles of the OP world on their own terms, at least to a certain extent. Staff can reinstate the process if they feel it's being abused or even like Axcel said, maybe just rescind the rule temporarily.

[attr="class","acceptshadow"]accepted! [attr="class","accept"]Understood [attr="class","words"]So I have no clue why I haven't been getting notifications from this thread, but I hear you guys loud and clear. The travel rules are going to hit a short hiatus until we figure a better alternative!
