Okay. I've got some questions and a suggestion. Let's do the fun one first.

Corrida Colosseum
This could be like a place on the site where you basically make a fight thread, and get rewards. The Colosseum would have certain rules and guidelines, and there would be a max to how much sd you could earn on one fight, and how often you could participate.
Inspired by the April Fight Month, this is basically a place where you can, if you don't have the guts will to make a proper thread with a plot, just fight another member's character and get a simple reward. To prevent people from overusing it, there would be maxes on rewards, and thusly, a Colosseum thread would not give you as much sd as a real thread.
This is just a suggestion, but it would be cool to see a place, kind of ooc but still giving you rewards. A place you could hang out in if you're missing some action.

Now, onto the questions.

◊ If I spent my last trait on a Fated, does that mean I can never use them for anything else, ever?

◊ How are the monthly contest-rewards planned out? It feels like each month is different in how much it's "worth". For example, the february contest only gave normal applicants, writing a prompt of 500 words, 1 sd each, while the march one gave 3 sd without any kind of effort. This doesn't really seem fair. Or do you just settle with "every month is different, to shake things up".

◊ If you want a ship bigger than whale-class, do you still just buy the whale-class and write that it's as big as godzilla, or is there some under-the-table things going on for people who crave gigantic ships?

◊ I've been told several of my custom fruits have been to similar to canon fruits - which have not yet been named (and, because of that, may not even exist), but there are fruits, like the Kira Kira (diamond), which are basically the canon fruits themselves, but given a name, that with today's standards should not exist. What is the reason of this double-moral?

◊ I was sure I had more questions than this... Ah, to hell with that. I'll continue asking/suggesting stuff here, to save space ::rawr::

Don't really have time to make full responses, so here are quick ones.

Having an area where people could fight for SD would be like being in two threads at once even if the gains were curved; it'd basically just benefit people who have enough free time to do that constantly.

You can still use them on legacy traits, since they are an exception, but by the time you reach your last trait, you should have already decided which traits are going where unless you really want the +3/+1 boost to that stat

It's pretty much "every month is different." Those February gains (1 SD for participating, 8 for 1st, etc) were used on a variety of contests a while back, and we felt since we've been giving so much free shit lately (December, kind of January, March, kind of April), we might as well cut down a bit on the sd giveaways. Another reason is that the contest was pretty underwhelming itself, so the rewards were underwhelming.

You'd describe it as big as you want it and just put some made up size for it. Mods will have to use discretion to get a price.

I'm afraid I don't understand the question. Are you saying why fruits like Kira that do similar things to Supa are allowed and not custom fruits that do that? If so, then it's simple; pretty much every canon fruit is usable unless we feel the reason to ban it/hold back on its release (i.e. the turning rocks into clothes fruit is not out yet because we have no clue what all it's capable of).

Rain is wrong about the fated trait issue but yeah again hidden rule even among staffies, its something you just pick up along the way. Pretty much once you hit your last trait you're free to spend them at any point since growth doesn't always happen when the site wants it to and you save your traits for that long it must be for something special you want and probably later on when you're more developed.

Also clothes fruit is banned to hell if its what it appears to be. Was a fun joke at one point even, I remember.

Thanks for the quick answers.

I'm saying that if someone made a fruit similar to the tanuki fruit Kinemon has, it would probably not be allowed, because it overlaps to the fruit, even if it has not been confirmed or named yet. But Kira exists, as Joz's fruit. So that's like... major overlap. Or do you give names to fruits that you think should be named? In that case, does that mean if you can come up with a good enough name, you can get fruits like Kidd's or Bonney's?

Like Rain said, the diamond fruit is canon and there was no real reason not to allow it, so it was put in and the staff gave it a name since Oda hasn't yet. Bonney's fruit falls under banned to hell and back and the magnet fruit on the site is more or less Kid's fruit like how the site already had a spin fruit before it was shown in the manga.

Okay, new questions.

◊ Firstly, how are Devil Fruit occupation worked out? If a user hasn't been on the site for like... three months, can someone who is way more active take his fruit if he does not show up? It feels like we've got a bunch of hoarders just claiming their fruits and nothing more. Let them new folks come in!

◊ And secondly, if there is a Paramecia-fruit that could be transformed into a Logia (or vice versa), say, the Ash fruit (which I've been told is Logia-plausible), and nobody is currently using it (perhaps see question above, if that is the case), are you allowed to kind of remove it and make it a Logia? If a fruit overlaps with another fruit nobody wants, shouldn't the wanted fruit come first?

And then, the wonderful animal question. Simple and easy.

◊ Are you allowed to play as an animal? Would it help if the animal was anthropomorphic, kind of like Bepo?

A fruit becomes available for someone else to claim when the character with the fruit is inactive. Characters are inactive after the person has not rp'd with them for a single month, so if it's been that long, you can take it if you want (and can). However, it's still common courtesy to ask first.

That would be up for admins to decide what fits best as lolgia and paramecia. If it made sense to be a logia, I'm sure the admins would eventually get around to making it one.

No; animals are for NPCs only

Is there a form of list anywhere or do you just have to search the RP threads for that character?

So admins thought ash and wood fitted Paramecia better, but cotton and mercury was Logia, or was it more like someone suggested it, and they approved it instead of denying it only to make one for themselves, as another type? I mean, when somebody makes a fruit, that could be another type just as well, do the admins openly state that and let the user change it, or do they act under the assumption that "if anybody wanted it, they would've gotten it"?
It's hard to express this question, haha.

Oh, and another one.
There are NPC-only fruits, but exactly how does that work out? Does it mean you're free to create an NPC with that fruit, that will be treated as SPO (single player only, i.e filler), or do you have already made characters with every fruit that is Tier 0? If so, where can I get a look at all those characters?
And, can you make NPC's with Zoan fruits, since they're abundant?

NPC fruits are alot more open ended. I remember one time seeing a window window fruit which was just doa doa lol.

But for the other fruits, I can't comment on mercury as I don't know about that one, but the other three have been that way for a long time. Wood has actually gone through a few changes, I can't say details because I don't remember honestly, but it has changed, at least in name a few times. The cotton logia was I believe created just so there could be a tier 3 logia in the RDF pool back when that was there because it was supposed to have all types of devil fruit.

There is the df list. Just go through the names on there and you can find out when a person made their last post which a character by doing a bit of research you adorable little vulture lol. An easy way I did it when updating the list every few weeks as a gmod was to simply look at the last date a member was on the site and the last date they made a post in general. Its not completely accurate but it makes the obvious ones open and its usually the lower tiered fruits this applies for anyway which makes the newbs happy to see a interesting fruit they can quickly grab suddenly open up.

I don't really know honestly as a lot of these fruits are from when the site was in it's infant stage and not all of them are that great by our standards any longer so I wouldn't know how they were made. Wood has the tree theme so its not that its a wood man so much as its a tree man.

yes trait npcs can be given any custom para or logia that you make and are free to grab a zoan. Those are their only fruit options.
When a fruit is said to be npc only that means usually staff npc only with the exception of the human zoan which is is npc only but available to trait npcs as well.

Just to Clarify, if the NPC is for a thread and not a Crew NPC, you can pretty much invent a B.S Filler thread only fruit for that character, I had an NPC with the Weather Paramecia, even though that shi- ain't never getting approved never never, but that's because it was for a story and wouldn't interfere with anyone else.

If you have a crew npc the custom fruits you make for it must be approved by staff, if it's a zoan it still needs to be tiered, though otherwise it's probably fine. Have fun exploring and shi-

Well actually yeah you even in some cases have to get fruits like that approved as well Clarity if its for a sl. We wouldn't want every sl to feature a different guy with the quake fruit running around. And considering how powerful a weather paramecia is since its banned from pc hands i'm a bit surprised no one said anything.
