I'll start us off with some background information since I'm one of the bigger/more active(formerly) folks here in Yuki with our ~10 daily players. Yukigakure ain't the wave bro, it really isn't. I was really hype at first with everything starting off because most people can handle a smaller player base - Of course we can, it's easier to get noticed - But there comes a problem with a smaller player base inside of a village and of course it involves mainly the self-circulated village RP. When your buddy comes through and gets fucked up, or has a big falling out with X or Y or even Z. Maybe Player #3 got mugged and he was your friend, etc.
All of this I could probably sit here and consider it as that self-circulated village RP, the stuff we enjoy and go through without having to rely on the eventmins or mission goers to really provide to us. Now. It wasn't so bad near the start, because we did have our starters and even our ups and downs but it's gotten to the point where we are one whole month inside of this wipe and 90% of Yukigakure's RP is self-circulated. My earlier point stressed the fact that the higher your PB, the greater longevity this so called self-circulated RP can go on for. That is, without stirring the pot with something monstrous or massive...
... But that's the fucking problem, yo. We haven't really gotten our pot stirred in a long while now and it's beginning to come to a grinding halt and a still. To further stress this issue, I took a picture of Yukigakure's graduating class. Here you go!
But there's this wild fucking thing going on with the picture above, despite the fact that shit equals out like 13 people. I ain't counting. Two people in the above photo are now dead, and as much as I hate to admit it - They were the source of Yukigakure's conflict. Sheerly from how retarded they both were, they were able to mobilize and get us back up on our toes and ready to throw punches. They are dead now because they took it a little to the extreme, but this is kind of the crux of my argument. One week ago, Yukigakure's Reputation dropped down to D. I didn't really know what this meant for us until it actually came back and made this the most unfun, slow, and sloggiest week of our month tenure here. No longer are we allowed to go on riveting C-Rank missions where we fight bandits, haha ow. No. Instead we get to chase down cats with T3 cores, feed orphans, and clean graffiti off of our walls. Did I mention we get no combat or anything to spawn conflict off of?
This is / was / will continue to be a problem for multiple reasons. You don't have to be a genius to know that Yukigakure is not at all pampered by the Eventmins, it ain't the hot spot for all that story and outside conflict action. This problem, while we had a C-Reputation, is further augmented when we are strangled and no longer given any source of conflict whatsoever from the outside - Our inside cannot spawn conflict when most player characters have been hammered into X and Y from their training. This is beginning to look a lot like last wipe~! In the ways that well, our story really hasn't even fucking began and we're nearing the point where a Chuunin Exam (LMFAOOO Yuki v.s. Ame, pfffft. Should I write my DR app now or later?) might actually be a reality yet the only thing we have to go off of in terms of experience is that one time where we fought bandits, that other time where the Oasis did 2 event things, and that other time where we chased cats.
The story should probably start rolling, one way or another - And please, for the love of god, never put another village back down to D-Rank ever again. When our village leader is not the aspiring shin-kicker that Dani is, and is more AFK than Quelan on a bad day... It ain't the wave. When our village population is less than 15 on a daily basis and we've been given nothing to refresh our self-circulating RP, it ain't the wave. When the eventmins and story admins haven't given us the same or even more events than our go-getters in Ame, leaving us with a village more dry than Sunagakure, it ain't the wave. When a single kid who burns down a house or two is able to set AN ENTIRE FUCKING COUNTRY'S REPUTATION DOWN AN ENTIRE FUCKING LEVEL, it ain't the wave.
I'm beginning to lose motivation really fast here, man - And I really do love this game, but I don't think I'll be the first voice when I say..
We Need Help. Ain't a damn thing a PC can do about it, either.
... But I can almost assure you, my voice will be the loudest.
(also don't get the funny idea of just blowing up Yukigakure and using it as a stepping stone for Ame or eating us and putting us back in Ame, that shit is just fucking lazy and akin to amputation. Fix it now, while there's still time. Adios, gamers.)

Aside from the two Oasis missions I've missed due to timezones/IRL work commitments I don't think I've seen a shred of plot related stuff in Yuki since making. Almost all of my own RP has been self-generated, or relied on a starter pulling up an Eventmin. Not that this has been bad, because I've had a good time doing it.
But as Nick says here, shit is self-circulating and it gets exhausting when its the same ppl each time trying to stir the pot or make issues, etc. The time is now to start picking up the pace and it definitely needs to happen for a smaller village.

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.

I agree with this somewhat also im sure things will get better soon (I hope). But just for a bit of a comparison I remembered I had a picture of Ame's graduating class. Behold:

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.

I think people have been doing good in Yuki as is, but something really needs to change. It is, without a doubt, even worse off than Iwa early wipe for people who knew what that was like. As far as I'm aware, intervillage conflict is more supported in Ame whereas it's nipped at the bud in Yuki due to differing village atmospheres and all. That's fine and all, but that on top of the fact that Yuki had to deal with being cut down to D reputation for a while was hard. There's not much meaningful RP to be had over D ranks and the fact that one Genin was able to lower it while Ame Genin can do whatever the fuck they please and somehow not upset civilians baffles me. It really begs the question of what it'd take for their reputation to get lowered.
Anyways, moving on from that. I think Ame gets way too much event focus when their self-sustained RP is comparatively healthier than Yuki's. The higher playbase of Ame realistically gives more room for players to disagree with one another and for cool shit to come from that. Meanwhile, in Yuki, people have been pushed to get along and don't really have a whole lot to fight about since there's not much to work off of due to the dry spell of meaningful events and overall structure of the smaller village (which is fine as is, but it means that the village is going to need more outside help). And, might I add, those events have been being ran exclusively by two people because nobody else feels like doing it or something. That's a-o-not okay in my book. Relieve them of some pressure or something. Don't just wait for Yuki folk to beg for events because those people are bound to burn out if everything's stacked on them.
While it might be fine for admin's to just ignore Yuki till it crashes and burns, I'd personally prefer for it not to come to that. At this rate, you're going to lose the people who actually care to try and do shit in the village and it'll become irreparable all because you couldn't just give it the time of day and try and think of ways to fix it as a team. New players come in, hear about the villages, and naturally nobody wants to come to Yuki because Ame is the place where you're bound to get much more interesting RP. It might seem like a bother to give it the extra attention it needs to thrive though that's definitely what the village needs right about now in my opinion.
Good on the people who have been remaining active through this mess though. Given that Yuki is outnumbered and outclassed by Ame rn, I don't think anyone in Yuki is looking forward to the inevitable Ame stomp as Nick mentioned. Find some way to give them a fucking fighting chance and fix things up here if you'd be so kind. Even if Chuunins aren't structured like that, nobody can actually look at things as they are and tell me there's not a problem I hope.

Post by Divey on Oct 16, 2018 6:28:46 GMT
I don't normally post on forum posts buuuut..
For starters: I can rarely even play the game with how my job is, and certain people have noticed that fact. This isn't a complaint about availability, but rather an explanation. I'm not going to take full blame for Yukigakure's RP drought, but my IRL undeniably impacts my hand in regards of what I can do. So, for that much I will apologize. Yukigakure's stories were left to me, and I am simply unable to deliver at this current state. Believe it or not, I've done what I could. My job requires an excruciating amount of my time (many can attest). Recently, I've turned to recruiting Blaine to run some of my events in my stead because I can't even get online half the time.
Enough about me, though.. I think the real main topic I wanted to highlight is this:
Eventmin gang is 5/8ths Amegakure. Hands down. Which really isn't the overlying issue, honestly. Village to Eventmin ratio isn't entirely important, but the focus has nearly been entirely on Amegakure in terms of events put-out. Yukigakure is in desperate need of help . The statistics according to the Event Admin forum are as follows: 19 Amegakure, 9 Yukigakure.
That's not counting the replies on event chain posts, which actually detail the true amount of events . I understand that Amegakure has a bounty book and all that but.. There's literally nothing stopping any sort of event chain other than the one that I have made from being developed and pushed out by someone other than myself and blaine - being the new addition. If things stay as they are?
We both lose out on participating in damn near any event because lord knows the weight is on us right now, and we're the ones running (or soon to be running) them for Yuki. The weight of a village's event should fall upon the entire team, not a couple people in the village they're running events for - being expected to sacrifice their time and character development for the sake of others.
But Divey..
Eventmin get rewarded, right? They sure do. They get points for their efforts, as it's noted that they sacrifice their own time. Despite how some see it, however. This doesn't do enough justice to leaving the weight on a couple people. First and foremost this is an RP game - a game about developing a character until their end, however that may be. You're writing a story, and being expected to be the only person (blaine in such a case) to run events is pulling directly from your story, and literally giving it to someone else's tale.
Mitigation:
Eventmins: You have all reign over missions on the game. Please assist both villages somewhat equally as it isn't just a responsibility, but everyone should be able to enjoy the game all the same.
Me: I have practically passed my Oasis chain over to Blaine, who references me with questions and assistance when I'm able to get on. Not that the villages story should be left up to one-two people either way.
Players: I know it's not your job, and you shouldn't have to but.. Please please please do not be afraid to fill out event requests. It shouldn't be left to you, but the amount of event requests Amegakure has recieved vastly outweighs Yuki's own.

Post by Jumpy on Oct 16, 2018 6:55:43 GMT
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 diceβ 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 anotherβ 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.

every post in this thread has a lot of good points! Everyone in the community knows that Yuki RP is lackluster. And while it is true that most of the events are done in Ame currently.. events are just events at the end of the day. They give players things to do and some development to use as they grow, but they are more so an added bonus rather than the core of your RP. The frosting on the cake, with natural interactions between the various characters in your village being the double-layered cake itself. Or that's how they should be, in my opinion. On top of that, being an eventmin kinda sucks. Sure, you get the extra point on your log checks to take you to 6 points or whatever, but odds are, the eventmins would have gotten to that 6 pt check on their characters anyway if they allocated the time they spent doing events to rping on their own characters. People that have signed on to do events do so out of a desire to breathe some life into the world, and while people (mainly admins) can ask them to do more events for Yuki, they can't really force them to do anything, since they aren't really being paid. To be honest, taking events from Amegakure wouldn't even begin to address the key issue that Nick was talking about in his post. So instead of poking at eventmins, let's talk about an issue that Yuki has this wipe that Iwagakure (a village from last wipe) also had once every rank/eventmin/admin dropped the ball-- A very low population/playerbase.
It all seemed pretty nice on paper, but.. i don't think the game has the playerbase to have two villages currently! i understand that this is a can of worms that we probably don't want to open, even more so because the idea of simply assimilating the smaller village into the larger one is considered a cop out and immersion breaking.. but its kinda true. If things stay the way they are, Yuki will continue to lose players, and the ones that die (be it in the Chuunin exams or otherwise) really won't have a reason to DR back into that RPless village. The few that do stay and become strong will feel immensely pressured to keep things afloat and will probably hate themselves for it, and-- guys, seriously. no bullshit. is this not a very similar scenario to how kirigakure played out on MoS, and Konoha towards the end of the same wipe? isn't this exactly what happened with iwagakure last wipe, but worse? its a pretty distinct pattern that usually ends up with the wipe catching a flat tire and swerving off into a slow death. except this time.. the playerbase is smaller than it was for both MoS and WoN wipe 1 and The admin team is also lacking from the numbers it once had(lets be real, half the team doesn't even log on the game). But there is some good news! Instead of flat-out quitting, players like Kopmon want to turn things around and make them work, and there's still plenty of time to do that! its probably just going to take a lot of work from the admin team. tl;dr - this has happened before, and the eventmins aren't really to blame. With my serious post out of the way.... im about to cook these starters.BOY IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR BEASTBOY FROM TEEN TITANS AS--

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. 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. and what do you even mean by this?

Also I've ran like 2 missions for you. And after watching you bitch about it and try undermine it afterwards (exactly what you're doing now) I've gravitated towards doing Amegakure missions more, which is literally on you, you moron. Why don't you chill and stop bitching. It's just a game dude. You get out what you put in.

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. 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.

all of the starters on won have their plus and minuses, nothing too great - though nothing too little.
jumpy's opinion is his opinion tbr, whether some folks agree with it or not. be it insensitive toward the players he called out it kinda means certain things need to change in yall village or even the game as a whole.
blame eventmins, blame starters, blame admins, blame whoever, but do understand that a good chunk of yall are at fault too for not necessarily pushing for things as players.
my thing is that the same statement circles around yuki when it's mentioned. the rp is stale, the players are losing motivation, starters are being . .starters? starters in a way are the tutorial guide before you reach the real game and they're put away for the rest of the wipe. they aren't necessarily jutsu dispensers, however they aren't to entirely avoid teaching be it through life lessons or overall skill.

Tbh it's as I've been saying and it somewhat goes in line with Koden, just not as drastically.
Nerf Yukigakure's size down somewhat. Make the village more compact and close together, so that its smaller playerbase can see more of each other and so it doesn't feel so fucking empty and lifeless.
Treat it less like a reactive village and more of a proactive village. Our RP should be coming from outside the village, not inside of it. We should be proactive in going out to do missions and events and treating Yukigakure more of a base of operations/hub instead of an actual gigantic fucking village.
