Yuki Ain't the Fuckin' Wave, bro

I do support this. That being said, I can say there is more coming providing the trains stays on track. Until only a few days ago, we only had one map to use. It's a hard slog rn, but I can see things getting better in the immediate future if all stays in motion. That also doesn't exclude the fact that yes, Yuki has very little attention in the way of events. If they can be done more frequently to help reduce the boredom, that would be swell.

For starters. . .look at that screenshot comparison of the graduating PB! As a person with no alts that's pretty interesting to look at. There is little in the way of overarcing development for the smaller village in question. More events will stave the boredom, yes. Though, self-circulation is failing without some major happening coming to pass. [Which without proper execution, could still go south]
I will admit this game's events do not often fill me with the same sense of excitement that others have in the past, whether it be the low-stakes/low-amount or the seclusive nature of it all.
Some events I've been to even have been low-quality, and some players avoid them for that fact, I've sensed a certain absence of EC dedication at times.


Often times, I'll make time out in the day to arrive for a mission that I premeditate may take up a few hours. Just to not get selected to go. I enjoy entrusting the Almighty Admins with handling things like this, day after day something may pick up, my character may be able to cause this and that. Though there needs to be an idea of a generative force willing the world a direction. [I.e: A powerful enemy, the fear of a bijuu, etc.] If it's the team's desire to keep the narrative purely IC, then that's understandable - but maybe don't kill off so easily those who could aspire to be say, a rogue.
The "Higher-Ups" have never issued me much despite a certain one that seems to hold an odd form of favoritism - but that is conjecture. They are all active enough IMO and do a swell job.

The lackthereof of a larger map isn't a proper excuse.
Of course, with a map you can do more, but for some time now we have been expected to keep things flowing without one - and have been. It isn't hard to look and see when something is plain stale. Didn't play last wipe but if it's anything like this. .

I'm an avid roleplayer, and typically never post here. Though this is something I agree with and can get behind because often time I'll get online to see people around a fire wordlessly gazing at eachother.
P.S: I don't believe anyone is outright stupid, Ignis Flame that's just degrading.
  Did they even get reprimanded for that? Punished? Lol, No? Okay. Cya.

+1 to every word of this.

Yukigakure was my idea in the first place. When people were discussing villages and went back and forth I'm the one who tossed the idea and proceeded to promote the shit out of it. The early wipe was just as I had imagined; people had snowball fights, they drank hot chocolate and were more preoccupied with living their lives than being an almighty military force, as children should. It was fun, despite all the OOC arguing during fights and the weird rulings made by starters that for some reason were applied rather than just rolling a dice— though that isn't much of an issue.

The village was active and most starters were, too. The only one that had an issue was Coding. Most people were skeptical when they found out who the replacement would be, though we were all proven wrong. At about the same time as the person who played Mitsuwa changed everything crumbled in the village. Our starters started arguing with admins about the most pointless things and still do. If it didn't extend to players as well it wouldn't be that much of an issue. Since this is a thread about actually trying to improve the village rather than resort to getting it assimilated or becoming last wipe's Iwa, I think it's better to point fingers and not rely on the great admin eye to judge what's right and wrong.

Nagai: He was the most active and the person we could RP with the most during the Academy days. When that ended he more or less vanished from the village scenery. He hardly comes out of his office and his activity has dropped so fucking much that it's as sparse as his jutsu collection. The Genin can't relate to an 86 years old man, so he'll never actually be able to make a huge impact with his presence; no one will get to that age by the end of the wipe.

Nana: She's active and willing to teach just about everyday but her skillset is complete ass and has nothing interesting or special to pull from; she's basically just free points that you wouldn't normally have with few (0?) custom techniques. It's really hard to relate and care about the character who's supposed to be a monk and all about inner peace and religion when she runs around being inconsistent in her reactions and allows other starters to go overboard rather than being the one to stop them and go "Are you fucking insane?". Someone should've veto'd her horrible build.

Varagarv: He's active and some characters can relate to him. His build is kinda wacky but it's not horrible. Picking up stealth is dumb when it comes to teaching since you can only throw T1s, which means that you invested about 10% of your points (or more) for something that you can't really teach at all. The main issue with this guy is that he can't stop himself from arguing with people and getting passive-aggressive (or straight up aggressive) towards them. Crying about a ruling on the forums after it happened is just going to make it seem more like you circlejerk with the people who agree with you. Threatening to not teach people as a starter is something you should never do. Why the fuck do you think you've been given so many things? Bite the bullet and teach TripleHellix raiton even if he calls you the N-word ICly; it's part of your role even if it's not solely it.

Imari: I'm gonna include the dead bitch here because she actually did things that mattered and gave life to the village, but arguing with admins over pointless things and throwing fits was unbecoming of you. Only a dumbass wouldn't realize that the character died because you were a thorn in the admin's foot OOCly.

Mitsuwa: Horrible when it was Coding playing it, best starter after that. The level of activity is there and the character is endearing, creates bonds and cares about her students. Her skillset has custom/interesting moves that are all worth getting and makes people wish they had suiton/raiton as elements. The only issue is the lack of bullying from other starters towards this character, which only Kiku provides.

Kiku: A great replacement for Imari that has taught stuff and only needs to get her jutsu approved to actually have an interesting skillset. The personality is unlike any other starters and it makes players actually want to get to know more about the woman's life and her past. She provides solid 1 on 1 RPs, too and actually feels like a character and not just someone playing a starter.


It might actually seem pointless to call out starters and state what I think they've done right and wrong, but it's also one of the reasons that Yukigakure is in shambles right now. Most of the starters don't actually care about the state of the village and just log on "because they should". There's no life in the village and claiming that it's because we don't have events isn't going to convince anyone who's played last wipe. Konoha was alive as hell because every starter (aside from 1) actually cared about creating a story and had various personalities, likes and dislikes, past with one another— to the young Genin it felt like there was something to discover. Starters are the things that'll affect character building the most and it's fucking sad to see how little Yukigakure's starters care about bringing a village to life. You have the easiest time; less people makes it even easier to influence and shape. How the hell are you messing this up while being (mostly) active?



If you thought I wasn't going to bash the event team on this post you're dead wrong. When starters don't work it's the eventmins' job to actually make up for that. There's no story or feeling to the village. All that we know is that the Yuki clan had rebels who use S-rank techniques on Genin and try to incriminate a 12 years old boy for little to no reason that neither fits the lore nor fits the actual feel of the village. I haven't had the time to even be part of the Oasis storyline because for some reason we limit the number of people that go on a mission and leave like 3 active people behind to sit there and go "I guess I'm not RPing tonight". I'm just going to be upfront and call out the people that I know have done events for Yuki. If you're an eventmin and your name isn't there, then you shouldn't worry. Or maybe you should, and you should give us more events with how skewed the ratio is between the two villages.

Luke: You take in requests and do your thing with events. There's no complaint here and you've proven that you'll do what people ask of you if you can. You actually reached out to Yukigakure and told them to request events from you, so that's good.

Blaine: You did the 1 thing you actually got a request from. You're new. It's pointless to talk much about it but your event was fun and actually made an attempt at giving IC karma for people who were disrespectful towards it without making it actually bad.

Luca: The fact you're still running around with a cat that has T3 cores baffles me. How the fuck are you not fired already after arguing and crying towards people who participate in your events or straight up ignore them when they RP because you don't like them OOCly. You literally insult players and giggle to yourself because all you get are slaps on the wrist every week rather than being swept away. It's so fucking bad that when you offer yourself to do an event for the players they'd rather have someone else.

Divey: You're doing your own thing and people seem to want to see more of it. Show more of it. The ECs weren't really balanced with our power level the first time around but you didn't make it bad and just downplayed yourself for the sake of continuity. Player actions have actual consequences in your stuff, so that's good. But we need more bitch.

Darwin: You're the worst story admin I've ever seen, period. You don't care about the game and brag about it every other day. You don't actually care about what the playerbase wants; instead you say that you care and claim that "players don't want this, players don't want that" without actually informing yourself about the subject matter. You have no idea of how Naruto works whatsoever and make the whole admin team waste an insane amount of time on matters just because you want to contradict people. You're obsessed with doing something crazy different and original but go about it in just the worst way thinkable. You have to be managed and held back even when you do small scale events that would be nice to have in a village because you don't have the decency to think of the consequences of "sheer bad luck" that can come across a crocodile popping out of the water. You throw techniques at people that say S-rank on them when they're Genin when: 1) what the fuck are you insane? and 2) that's not even an S-rank technique, it's just what Manipulator [T4] does. You have no idea of what the rules are and don't care to learn them really at all. You brag about your "epic trolls" towards the admin team and delete 500 messages in admin chat before taking a screenshot and showing everyone how you epicly pwnd someone today.

This isn't funny:
 

And this is even worse when people actually go and talk to you about the situation and that's your response as the person who should care most and be the most concerned about it:



All in all you're pretty much the worst admin this game has ever had and I honestly think that Cherish leaving the team before the wipe did more for it than you did.

I hope this will be a wake-up call for you. If it isn't, then I hope there just won't be a call you can even pick up.

tbr yuki's pb is significantly smaller than ame's. and i think the population itself is what may have turned some eventmin away. granted yea, players do hold the ability to request events from eventmin.

which i believe a lot of folks from ame do. i'm not sure what's happening on the yuki front, if players are requesting things or not because in all honesty i stay away from most of the chats.

i do know there was an issue with an eventmin kinda sneak dissin certain yuki players, but i think that was handled when it happened.



and what do you even mean by this?

It's become clear to me that the character alluded to was played by more than one person, which explains a certain amount of inconsistency and transparency I detected. Not favoritism per say, and it wasn't compound enough for there to be a proper basis to begin with. I'm tired.
  The Starter opinions from Jumpy are both brutally honest and unnecessarily insensitive, pobody's nerfect. It is true that the starters could perhaps try to liven up the scene, but setting high expectations for strangers for a video game job they don't get paid for will only lead to disappointment. That's common sense. Not entirely sure what the solution will be, but in the meantime it would be good for Yukigakure members to shoot in some mission requests, and for the admin team to look into a new event admin.
*Cough*checkmyapp*Cough* ... Low pb game struggles.
