After the Tournament of Power

I think it’s a great idea considering it’d take a year irl for the universe to be fixed. I believe it would be nice to include a nice time-skip incentive. No PL or Zeni but maybe try a lottery of items that could be used in one thread while still being lore friendly. Just my idea I’m not sure if you can create bots on proboards for lottery.

If we were to go the PL route it should be limited to an option of PL or Zeni so a 10% PL boost for those with LMB and 5% for BMM. We also could do just a lottery of different items for gain mulitpliers. The lotteries could be simple dice rolls. Do with this information as you wish, I just decided to share this with you guys since I’ve been apart of a site-wide timeskip before and it worked well.

First off, I definitely approve of a time skip. DBU definitely needs a break from all the madness, and this interlude is a good way to do it. It might be interesting to make it even longer then a year (like maybe 3). Since it would give even more time for civilizations to rebuild and repopulate. Plus it would be interesting for characters who have (or will shortly have) children, since it would allow for them to grow old enough to interact with their parents. Putting that aside though, having to worry about the mortal level does make things tricky for the more... ambitious individuals of DBU. So any kind of time skip would be good, whether it's one year, two, three, etc.

For nothing to happen for a year or more, I would think that the major powers would have to make some kind of truce/treaty, since as of right now people such as Nakiya are planning to do things even as the tournament of power is going underway. Plus the Saiyans are pretty pissed at the demons for blowing up Saiya, extinguishing Saiyan souls in the afterlife, etc. So an IC reason for the ceasefire is definitely needed, since it wouldn't make much sense otherwise.

Also maybe a wish with the dragonballs could have restored a few things, like the north of Earth and Saiya/brench. Although the latter coming back would be kind of a slap in the face to the people who destroyed it though. Maybe a year would be enough time for the North of Earth to be fixed? Or some kind of solution could have been found (there was mention of a tree that counteracted the tree of might in that RoD. Tree of Life I think). If a wish isn't made, then at the very least I think the Tree of Life should fix the northern area of Earth.

I see that a couple people here are already bringing up additional incentives for the time skip. PL is a good one, since it would allow newer members and weaker characters to catch up a little bit. And of course the really strong characters would get little or no increase in the time skip. I'm not going to list specific numbers though, since that's something that would be debated among the staff anyway, but it does make sense for people to get stronger in the time skip.

The last point I want to talk about is a direct response to Beat (and newer members in general). Most of the major events that happen on the site are the result of players just doing things with their characters. Jarvis invading Natto, Nasu invading Brench and turning it into Saiya, etc are all things that are the result of players just being players. If you really want to go back, things like the invasion of the lookout and the PTO being claimed by a Brenchian are also just the result of just individual character actions, and not something planned by the site as a whole.

Individual player influenced events constitutes most of the major things that happen on the sites in terms of percentage and frequency While the Tree of Might RoD was built up to and prepared in advance, Jarvis invading South City, Rukia getting involved in the claim for Guru on Namek, and Nakiya and Ash invading Saiya weren't events that were planned out the way that ToM was. The most recent example of this is my character Holly claiming the title of Queen of Earth. This wasn't a major site event that involved a lot of people, and now it's officially a part of the site lore (in the site rules section).

The point I'm trying to make is that DBU is a community that is mostly shaped by what people do with their characters in context, and not as oriented on staff making major events happen. So if all the new members wanted to get together to do some sort of event for them, then you can totally do that. If the site does decide to do an event for newer people though, well more power to all of you. But just keep building up your characters and do as you will on the site. Who knows where you can take things?

And those are my two cents on the idea. It's an idea I definitely support, and I look forward to see how this idea is flushed out. Whether we decide on the lottery or a PL increase, it would all be interesting to see it all play out. 

Sorry about the confusion Komama XD;
But basically, rather than something like martial artist event, I'm more looking like what Heizen meant in my post.
Yes, I do agree that it's all about character development first and foremost, so I meant something like this instead of more martial artist based events =3
Sure world martial artist tournament would be fun, but mini events like crime syndicates or something of similar event would be great too XD (had no idea that members could start that. My bad there umu)

Time skip wise... I'd fine with two, but three probably a bit too much. Too many event that could be skipped in my character's growth to be written OOCly D: One would be great, but probably a bit too short for rebuilding I think... What about allowing people to make a rebuilding thread? Like, whatever they do... like, stopping bandits, helping with construction, or doing something that contributes to the rebuilding as a whole? Maybe keeping track of the rebuilding progress too and it affects the forum's description too? Just an idea.

The idea of the timeskip in the first place, is to recover somewhat. I understand the appeal of multiple years, but it's not supposed to affect things on a major scale, like some kind of free pass. I don't believe collaboration for such a thing would be difficult, but I personally think it's better to work for it than to assume. An example would be the Queen Of Emptiness thread, and East City's fall. I can't speak for the others who were involved, but it really did seem like Heizen's Ally was going to die at one point in the thread, if not for the use of bulking.

Reconstruction and the like, can be done with Sagas, and earth's current situation has been talked about. However, I personally think it's somewhat dependent on current influences characters like Rukia, Nakiya, Koma, etc. have, if it's not to be done off-screen. With the other cities being destroyed, Capsule Corp and what businesses it allows to flourish, is the one who has all of the supplies for such, and the current Queen of Earth has a one-sided feud, where she previously refused to work together with the corporation, based on spite. Recently, some refugees were brought back on earth for a reason not yet explained, but it's a clear complex matter requiring consideration and input that wouldn't stray from things currently established. I.e. Rukia being willing to accept provisions from either Saiyan factions, but due to secretly wishing for demons to be apart of earth's society, she wouldn't want him to actually come to earth. Especially when Saiyans just revived.

There are other icly debates there, but the point is, it's easier to manage off-screen, personally.

I am pretty much fine with all that was said above, so I won't repeat stuff. I am fine with a time skip after the Tournament of Power— not immediately after, which brings me to the only question I have in mind. Do we want not to give PL? I know it feels kind of greedy, but it's just that I can't imagine certain characters doing anything for one year; take Cornatto for an example, Nasu, or really most Saiyans. And one year is certainly not a month, so I believe there shouldn't be a static PL bonus. Maybe simply establish a little PL bonus over gains in the period post-Tournament of Power/pre-timeskip? Perhaps, something like that bonus we got when we placed ourselves second on that Top RP website. A PL Gains Bonus that is accounted for a limited number of threads, which are then graded during the time skip establishment? So, it's still 'earned' technically and not just a reward given for nothing!

Hmmm okay so, so far I am seeing that 2 years Time Skip seems to be a happy medium for everyone. Not too long and not too short. It wont happen immediately after the TOP, giving people time to come back home and settle in before we do the skip (this will be some months away, seeing as the ToP Will take a good while anyways I imagine).

Now, for rewards in the interim such as PL, Zeni, etc etc... I know of a plugin (I'll have to find it again) that's just a wheel of prizes. We could set in things like items, zeni, and to 1 person (maybe) even a dragonball wish if they have a dragon-radar. This would allow further reconstruction of the universe since Lagerus would basically force them to wish a planet or some kind of civilization back.
>> Power level rewards: I'd have to go back and see how I did it before when we celebrating our station on Top RP... I think I gave extra PL for certain threads done in a certain time frame right? Well going off of that, we could include a bonus on up to 3 flashback threads done during the timeskip? LMB players could get a 50% bonus to gains, while BMM get what, 20%?

Now speaking of Lagerus, she would be the main reason the treaty is in play. Because even though she isn't attacking anyone directly, Nakiya would still be quite underhanded in her efforts unless kept in check. Lagerus will be the only reason the big end gamers aren't out tearing shit up again.

>>> Flashback threads are definitely welcome, but they will be thoroughly scrutinized when grading to make sure that you aren't breaking any of the time skip neutrality.
