Fairy Tail Guild RP Current News


Hey everyone, it's me, your Lord and Savior, your Once and Future King, and your new Admin-for-Life Unlimit Sendo. I'm here to drop some turnbuckle-diving elbows and awesome news. There's been some relatively small updates to rulings regarding summon familiars and single summons. Additionally, there's also been a pretty big update in regards to the AP shop which reorganizes it and adds a ton of new stuff. You can find that in the AP Shop section under Item Creation. Check it out.

So, there's been some recent discussion concerning "pets" and what exactly constitutes a pet and what does not.

Thus we are opening this issue to you, the public and lovely members of FTG to see what you guys all feel. The issue at hand is thus:

Quote:
 
Do you think we should allow human(oid) pets?


The poll options are explained as thus:

  • Option 1: No, pets should be limited to creatures only, things like humans or people-shaped demons are too far away from the idea of a "pet"

  • Option 2: People can have humanoid-ish pets within reason, things like small fairies or imps, stuff under the height of about 4' tall, that stuff is ok.

  • Option 3: We should allow people to have any kind of pet, including humans. It doesn't matter, they're still kinda NPCs

I nearly hit option 3 but went with option 2. I'm mostly fine with people having whatever they want for pets (so long as people remember pet is rules term and they're more like companions), but if you want literally a fellow human around you all the time it might be better to adapt the single summon rules or something for that.

Just so we're all clear (and this is most important to staff/Advanced/Elder Members) Option 2 was what I was aiming for the whole time

Does this affect Temp Pets? I'm assuming No, since temp pets are temp.

Sarcasm. Because beating the shit out of people is illegal.

Personally I feel that option 3 is the way to go.

If we were to limit humanoid pets in terms of size (and hence weight) then I feel they'd need compensation elsewhere since a large part of what we pay for when it comes to S rank Pets is that they're bigger and badder so to speak and being humanoid conveys no other advantages except for arguably more RP flavor.

Alternatively, restrict humanoid Pets to S class only so those who have the money to burn can burn it as they see fit without flooding the board with low ranking human Pet NPC's.

TL;DR: I voted for option 3

I wish we had a 2.5 vote option because I want to be clear I'm fine with human size humanoids, like a fae or demon companion. My only real issue is if you want a normal dude as a highly magical pet, and really my concern is more that there are better ways to do it then it shouldn't be allowed.

Just thinking on the Dark side of things, an evil character would have no problem with owning a human slave, which would probably count as a 'pet'

also whether a pet is human, humanoid or otherwise, the rules and limitations governing pets are there to stop anything that would allow overpowered pet, so the shape of your pet is ultimately just an RP choice

p.s. i picked option 3

Most of the reason I voted for number 3 is because number 2 is really limiting and only allows you to certain things, also as far as full human goes I think that they shouldn't be actual humans, but like celestial beings or something

It really depends on whether humanoid pets stretches to humans with very limited non-human features, who aren't actually humans. If it's really just full-on humans that aren't okay, option 2 would be fine with me too, but I picked option 3 for the reasons mentioned and because I feel FTG is getting too restrictive already, so this arbitrary thing on top of it would make that even worse.
