[quote="Bluemouse":ft0edgbt]What exactly is it that you think you can't do with this option that you could do before?

Breathe. Innnn....... out............

I just think you three might be overestimating the amount of people in Tension that are going to fully embrace this push towards stories and duos and such.

Mainly because all of the people within Tension that want to do stories and such, are already doing such things with each other. The people that aren't probably haven't because they aren't interested. In which case, you'd end up with exactly the same result, only in a slightly more confusing fashion.

I also don't how understand how the "risk" of having an unwanted M/M match is so high that it warrants an idea partially meant to eliminate the possibility, when all it takes is people saying "Hey, I don't wanna do a M/M thing, so can we just plan around that?" I mean really, are there really people insisting on having their male character get a title shot, only to back away cause there is a male champion? They can't just make a female character? It seems like an incredibly simple issue.

So while it does sound like at least a pretty interesting idea, It just seems unlikely that its going to really change anything.

Personally, I don't think anyone will. I also think you're fighting imaginary ooc arguments, against a predominantly ic device.

Again, if it's not something you want to do, don't do it.

+1

It never changes.

Hey, if it goes through, I'll be happy to work with it.

I'm not fighting the idea, I'm stating my opinion that I don't think its going to be the super effective game changing idea, but that really doesn't matter because it's going to happen anyway and we're going to have to work together to make it work.

I also don't understand why most of the opinions that aren't "This is perfect!" have been basically meant with "No, your wrong, stop bitching."

by Tatyina Mon Dec 09, 2013 1:47 am

Because it feels like the responses that aren't "This is perfect!" are only "This is the most horrible thing ever!"

It may NOT affect anything, but how do we know if we don't try it? The idea was supposed to be a fun way to generate some Tension storylines.

Tension does seem to lacking in that.

People clearly seem to be passionate about Tension, but why isn't that passion translating into anything?

There is a disconnect and that's what the idea will hopefully address.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. But if you don't lead them to water some horses might never find water. Sometimes it's a little push that sparks people to do creative things.

It just also happens to address an OOC problem that doesn't happen a LOT, but HAS happened. But it IS an ICly idea.

Think of it less as a set of rules to be implemented and more like an event that you can participate in.

- And yeah, I can like it if it squashes the need to win titles for OOC purposes. But would Taylor have felt like like she truly earned and won her entropy title if she had faced Natalia's lesser replacement Natsumi instead of her?

Natsumi is just amazing... but nobody gives her a chance to prove it <img src=

" title="Crying or Very Sad" />

She has won her last 3 fights.

And Lobor has a point... suddenly the individual championships become a team effort. And you have to team with disgusting males on top of that.

I still don't understand why we need this 'solution' because I do not understand what is the OCC 'problem'.

Too many males wanting to be champs?

Guys! Guys, guys... guys. Guys. Let's just all be happy about one thing.

The thread didn't derailed for once. This is a special day.

All that aside, I think it would be interesting to at least give it a go. If it doesn't work, it's not like it has to stay.

by **Old_Man_Tai** Mon Dec 09, 2013 3:12 am

Basically Kitten, The problem is that there isn't enough story lines going on in Tension, for the belts and otherwise, and that majority of people really don't like M/M matches, which is apparently a factor in just why there aren't enough story lines going around in Tension.

This idea is proposing to possibly be able to solve both issues.

by kiranar Mon Dec 09, 2013 3:24 am

My only Idea is for tension make a belt for the men and a belt for women then a major belt that will be for the best of both sexes. The single gender belt will have to be only held by that gender if they don't like it they cant go for the combined championship belt.
