Hello. I'm a new member on OPRP. I just got done catching up with the series. I'm making a character as we speak, he's going to be the next Pirate King!
BJ
Well that's nice and all. It's gonna take awhile for your character to get as strong as some of the other people on the site though.
New Member
But when my character gets Mera Mera No Mi he's going to be unstoppable!
BJ
Mera is taken.
New Member
What about Goro?
BJ
All the logias are taken..and there's like two paramecias left. But you can get a Zoan.
New Member
Zoans are lame...all the logias are taken? What badass paramecias are left?
BJ
Uh....Choki Choki No Mi...and uh....
New Member
That's lame, I have a custom fruit in mind, you think a chain paramecia would work?
BJ
Look, I'm gonna be honest with you. I've been here for a year and a half, and I got four custom devil fruits approved. You have to think hard if you want to come up with a custom DF. Think outside the box, if the idea comes to you that easy, it wont work and someone has already tried it before.
New Member
So what you're saying is....I have no chance of getting a badass fruit...unless I make my own, and that may take forever?
BJ
Yes...
New Member
Man...that sucks...
BJ
Yup...

This site needs a restart or a second canon in my opinion. Since the staff is reworking the stat system, and nerfing Mzoans, and introducing all these new things. I think the site should restart, so canons wont be fucked up and everything would be fresh. The conversation above is why a ton of people went inactive on the site, and why when we get new members they don't stick around for long. By wiping, everyone would get an equal opportunity, start a new canon with the new rules, and OPRP could attract a lot more new members and new crews. It's demoralizing for a new member to make a crew when other PC crews are so much stronger and they took all the fan favorite devil fruits. Which is why the whole challenge/epic SL requirment for high tiered fruits was such a good rule! I think by wiping the site would improve greatly from its current state. I know a lot of people would have to throw away canon and lose SD they've worked hard for, but like I'm losing 357SD Earned and although I don't like the idea of starting new, I know it's what's best for the site.
Please use the poll made above so I can see more people's opinion on this. Thanks for voting.

Things are finally picking up for me after a year and three months. You earned 357 SD in a year or less, I earned 152. Even if we restart what will it do? You earn your sd in no-time again with your crew in some top spot with logias, mzoans and whatever.
I wanted a lot of stuff when I joined a year ago. I saw it all slip past me and sought for other solutions and so should everyone that joins this site. People go inactive, fruits become available again. We all deal. People haven't even reached the end of the GL yet.
Throwing away canon?!? I finally have a char that's fun to rp and gets positive feedback from graders. I finally started writing stories that are really enjoyable for someone who wasn't in the story itself.
The example you wrote down seems like someone who'd leave this site anyway. Mainly because they seem to disagree with basic foundations of it such slow character progression, reasonably themed Devil Fruits that could fit in the OP canon etc.
Sorry as much fairness as it involves, this idea is big no in my opinion. Just because you progressed too quickly with some people and hogged DF's with your crew doesn't mean we should all give it up. take a look at the top earned list and check how long those members have been here. Gfists Lunars and whatever crew is now forming... All of those former members have the logias on this board. The other people with high tiered fruits have been here for at least double the time you have been here and worked just as hard to get there.
Just because you powerplayed shouldn't mean a reset for all of us.

Welcome to OPRP new member. You're able to as much power as you can in 2 years, sorry if you're not super active that entire time and only end up with like 150 sd. But after those 2 years it'll all be cleared away where you can restart over and try again.
New member
So the stuff I do work hard for gets taken away no matter what?
Dark
Yeah
new member
Bye
happiest day ever

I feel like I've been insulted the fact I've been here a year and have a decent amount of sd shows I earned it. Anyone can get a goodstart people just need to be dedicated. Now Ice I taste disdain/annoyance in your writing are you upset the former Lunars have the higher teired dfs?
Chaos in a confined space is never a pleasant experience.
I don't care that you have it, you can do whatever you want with it.
What I do find funny is that the person who probably won't even feel the loss for that long suggests a restart. Where did I ever say Lunars/gfists didn't earn what they did? You guys rp'ed here just like everyone else and earned it fair and square.
But the fact that you guys earned an amount that titan earned over the course of what... 3-4 years? Yeah a fraction of time to earn nearly as much SD as him. The whipe will only hurt us and give new members hope untill some powerplayer rises to the top with his crew, holding the df's you all wanted to free.
A clear start ain't the solution, it's more of a balancing earning rates thing. But yeah if someone decides to write 2000 words every day consistently for a year that's their thing and they can have their sd. I couldn't care less. I'm not bitter, angry or anything against/with lunars and their former/current members. Just saying that's it's completely stupid assuming people haven't even reached seatrainzone. I'd consider a whipe if people had 800 sd and there weren't any df's whatsoever.

I think itspretty clear a restart is not the answer what you say ice is true if a wipeoccured me, bya, dark, and some others would have less to lose I'm still, however firmly against a restart.
