Look at this kid right here. Standin' up fo' his shiz. Good job, Hiro!

(has no actual clue wtf is happening)
Like four hours ago, I was just the guy that burnt Ekirei to a crisp. Oh, how time flies...

Edit: Cocky genin gonna get an ass-whoopin' an' a grave dug, imo.
You guys all present valid points, but none of them are why I support character death. I firmly believe the plot and setting should be the strongest elements to a roleplay, with setting dictating plot and plot influencing characters. That said, I come to some conclusions:

A Kage-level nin serves a purpose. If they are to kill a random-ass Genin, it best be for that purpose, elsewise the moderator or roleplayer controlling that nin is just being a cunt and abusing power.

There are times when the setting can accept a beatdown from Hell. There are times when the character should die. If you're in a war and you're outnumbered and outclassed, chances are you're going to die. For example, if 3 genin and a Jounin are in a fight with 2 Jounin teams, chances are the first set are fucked because they're literally outnumbered. A Jounin can't effectively fight two (often) and the genin are just plain outnumbered. If the roleplay is balanced correctly, chances are one or two if not all of those genin will be slaughtered due to the effects of wartime and that Jounin is going to escape and probably not be given another team. There are some characters with honor and morals, sure, but overall in wartime soldiers kill, and shinobi truly are just glorified soldiers to some degree. It would dilute the plot and thus mar a setting to just let characters who rightfully are fated to die... live.

No, not all fights are fair. Look at how the Second Hokage died. Mother fucker was out numbered by twenty of the Kinkaku squad. Think that shits fair? No. It's not, but it happened. Your genin gets into a scrap with a chuunin? You best hope to god he can either outrun that mother fucker, he's got allies closeby or there is a REALLY good plotted reason that chuunin wouldn't kill the genin.

That seems unfair and totally exploitable, I'm sure. That's why it is the job of moderation and the roleplayers in charge (jounin for example) to work together to avoid those situations, if they can. If some punk roleplayer wants to just stroke his ego a little bit and kill off some PC's, chances are he will be dealt with in an acceptable manner as he was toxic to the roleplay. But, if someone played their character correctly, to their personality, to the plot and ended up killing someone else's character, I see no reason to reprimand them. Every situation calls for different actions and it is the goal of a roleplay and its community to not allow such grievances to happen.

Lastly, character death has a fuckton of benefits. Impact on other players, added plot depth, more reality, the chance for players to make new characters and keep relationships refreshing, and I personally believe character death is one of the single best illustrations of the passage of time in a roleplay.
I like character death.
I see no reason for any of that. If people roleplay at a higher quality, then that's fine. That doesn't make them better. I could write novels all fucking day; in fact, I did, when it came to burning that kid Ekirei. But, I get so bored doing that. I don't want to write fifteen fucking paragraphs for an action oriented roleplay. The entire idea of roleplay, to me, is for interaction. Collabing like on titanpad is my favorite method because it's just as high quality as long posts with all the interaction. I prefer, in terms of length, high casual. 3-5 paragraphs, maybe 8 IF you're trying to verbally paint a picture. Quality of wording over quantity any day.

Secondly, you hit a great point. Moderation and combat methods are huge factors. In some cases, it's literally like Capitalism vs. Communism in terms of design. I don't see either as a bad thing. Variety is the spice of life. I see no reason that each similarly-themed roleplay couldn't be part of a larger community, which is something that irked me to no end on the Oldguild. I knew of RP's that wouldn't let you RP if you were caught being part of another Naruto-RP. What the fuck use is that? If someone wants to test out another roleplay or try something new, let them. If someone wants to be part of two different ones because they like the variety, let them. A single large pool of Naruto RP'ers is so much better for a roleplaying community than a bunch of punks trying to stroke their egos with the larger RP'er count or post count.
Uh, mostly just to chat. I don't mind having positive relationships with other similar-themed roleplays. I know that on the old guild, there were always like Six Naruto-themed roleplays that hated each other, and I hated it. There is no reason to hate someone who enjoys the same thing in a different way. And for the former elitists of the Advanced Section, there's no reason to hate a Naruto-fan who just can't write as well.
Nah, you called me hostile, and from your viewpoint, I was. I did literally destroy that kid Ekirei in every imaginable way, but he sort've deserved it. It's really just my job to prove I'm not, I guess. You've done nothing, and if you have, I didn't (nor will I) put in the effort to figure it out. That's a lot of work just to get pissed at someone. lol

Anyway, I run two RP's at the moment, albeit the other one is having troubles getting off the ground. I work part time, volunteer as an EMT and attend class. I doubt I'll have time to fit in another RP, especially one of the same theme, but I wouldn't mind working alongside you or maybe doing some plotting later. I've always liked the idea of a cross-over between Naruto roleplays, like in that one Naruto movie.

If I drop one RP, I may have time to join this.
Hai. :D Howz you?
No, I was actually going to PM her some helpful information before I saw her recent activity and saw she was active here. So, I went to check what she was doing, as I wanted to see what this other Naruto roleplay was like. As you should know, if you click on a person's profile to PM them, you will see their recent activity.

Secondly, I'm not a hostile person. Generally, I don't mind taking excessive amounts of time making something fit into a roleplay. I absolutely love making something fit perfect, finding its own unique niche. I know that Ekirei, an individual that attempted to flame my roleplay, is part of this, and has thus created a negative impact on me.

What I am going to tell you, as a group, is this: I apologize to each of you I have not met. I apologize to each person here whom has read my reactions and feels that I am hostile. I cannot correct what happened, but I assure you that I will not merely bark at someone for being part of something else.

What I will communicate are a few facts. My Naruto roleplay is Naruto-themed, but it is not a direct reflection of canon nor does it follow that continuum. Each character should be crafted for it specifically with the new events that occurred for it in mind. If I wanted a roleplay that was a continuation of Naruto, I would never have made that one; I would have made efforts to join this one, as it is a fine example of what a regular, Naruto-themed roleplay should be.

Additionally, I will give insight to the two people who have interacted with me. First, Ekirei. He attempted to format a character from this roleplay to mine, I saw it, I made some suggestions, and he flipped shit, to which I retaliated. Fundamental flaw is that he tried to put a character from another Naruto rolepay into mine and would not take criticism before it was done. Secondly, LillyDove. I do feel bad for her and I will not ever state she was not persistent, but for her to jump onto this thread and ask if her character was generic without any context to the situation is a downright insult to me. I told her repeatedly and clearly what needed to be done to both balance her and format her to my setting, and she seemingly ignored it; inquiring about it here was just the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

Still, I hold no animosity for anyone, except Eki. I do not mind anyone whom is genuinely interested and I don't care for the disinterest of others. I will work with anyone, but I will not work with the attitude of someone whom can't accept a simple critique nor can I work with someone who doesn't seem to grasp the content, regardless of how much they try. I do not mean to appear hostile to you. Any of you. We are a roleplaying community. This is Roleplayer Guild and at a time this was one of the pinnacles of free form, text-based roleplay. Sure, we're both Naruto-themed roleplays, but it doesn't matter. We're part of the same community, even if you're far larger and focused on different things. I do not wish to create ill-relationships based on the actions of a few and my reactions to them.

So, I reiterate, I apologize to everyone here I have not met who is placed in the unfortunate situation of being given an opinion of me, an image of me, without working with me. We are a community, bonded together through Mahz and his efforts to revitalize this site and this community, not a group of whiny-ass kids that need their ego stroked.
You kids gonna get anywhere doing anything with this? I just needed a few more CS's.
