Discussion Topic for Oz: Crossroad of Legends (Crossover RP)

All this happens while I'm busy editing...

Neo, I don't think that anyone (well, maybe besides Emperor) is actually trying to say your characters are way to OP, or challenge the reasoning why.

But I do think that the gaps in power between participants are a problem. At this point, we would have to make huge adjustments to characters, using the mechanics and stuff in OZ to excuse all the buffs/de-buffs. It's getting a little out of hand at this point. We need the characters to be at least a little closer together when it comes to power level before we even apply OZ's laws and mechanics. Otherwise, your characters are going to be extremely handicapped just so the universe doesn't shatter, and I don't want to see anyone forced to deal with that many handicaps. But we can only buff our characters so much to make up for the gap.

We just need to find some (mostly) level ground right now. Nothing needs to be banned, dropped, or handicapped, some things just need to be adjusted slightly. Which is why I'm buffing my characters for the crossover. They would normally be really far behind, so I'm having to pull things out of nowhere (or things that I normally wouldn't use) just to try leveling things out.

The biggest thing is that we have to practice discretion when we choose characters. For instance, we should be avoiding overkill in fights, because it just makes things look unbalanced. And Naga would certainly only be around for the most difficult battles. I'm sure you know this already and this is your plan Neo. I just think we're all starting to get a little irritated with each other because things aren't looking balanced on paper, and that naturally creates negativity. So let's all calm down, look at things objectively, and discuss our plans. I'm sure that if we give each other enough time to explain things, we'll see that we're just overreacting and being too emotional, and things are actually far more rational than we think they are right now.

Come on, everyone take a few deep breaths. In, then out. And again. Now, can we all get along and give other the benefit of the doubt?

I'm thinking that "killed" Card Characters should be either disabled until a timer runs out, or disabled until the cards are taken to a shrine/spring/fountain/something blessed by OZ's goddesses (dotted across various points of the land) or something and restored.

...Or "Warp Zones" are activated by touching a magic flower/activated at a shrine/diving into a fountain/something that leads to a portal to a "home base" where everyone first came from.
