Sorry for all the announcements lately!
While the mods deliberate on how much needs to be in hard writing and how much can be left up on in the air on the matter of god tier aspect powers, we really need and want to hear from you players. After all, we're here to make the game fun for YOU.
So let's take a moment to look at the reasoning for this poll and these discussions. Our biggest concern, as mods, is fairness. We want everyone to have fun without having to worry about getting into ridiculous situations because another player thinks it's fair to do one thing while you feel it's highly unfair. In a freeform RP setting, it's extremely hard to nail down what is and isn't appropriate for a character, especially if we want players to have freedom to play how they want. The easiest way to make the playing field level is to have everyone state things clearly and plainly so that you know what you're getting into with another player ahead of time and so mods can make their own decisions on what qualifies as fair using our own measuring means.
On the loose end of the scale we leave things as they are. Players are free to interpret their powers however they want in any given thread and come up with how their powers work on the fly. This is the most 'free' way of letting players play but it's also the least controlled and regulated.
On the more regulated end of the scale we have everyone list every single thing they can do with mod approval for further changes and additions. This one requires a lot more thinking, precise wording, and prior approval but it's also the most equalizing option.
There are middle grounds. An example of just one is to give a rough description of how your player utilizes their powers without going into strict details.
We really want to hear from you players on what you want most so please vote and comment!
