Raising the Bar

Here I a pretty radical idea that I'm sure will just get lolno'd into none existence.

Now with a lot of character reaching high SD amounts, pushing or every surpassing 500 and Izuru exceptionally over 800 SD, I was thinking that perhaps the 'bar' for new characters should be raised.

Newly created characters will never have the power necessary to compete with the higher SD character just based on the amount of time It would take with a 1sd per day system. Noobies that post every single day will have to do so for 2+ years to catch up to someone like Izuru, and that's assuming izuru doesn't post ever again.

I suggest... raising 'starter characters', so that starter characters have the same traits/stats as someone with 50sd. This way they get a tiny head start on catching up to the big leaguers, and don't have to be rping as an underwhelming noob for an entire year before they feel themselves making progress.

That said, individual with characters already under 50 sd earned would get say... a 25 sd bonus for their troubles.

Combat SD inflation! Raise the SD minimum wage! Go Go Go Go!

I thought for a second you were gonna suggest something like, "newbies get an introductory period where they are able to earn more than 1 SD a day, maybe even 2 SD" and I was thinking... maybe I could get behind this.

But then come to find, you want to just hand out goodies to the newbies. The entire point of our system is slow growth, so creating a shortcut past some of the most formative stages circumvents the entire goal of the system. I wouldn't be entirely opposed to giving new people a chance to move of up faster if they earned it, but I would never support a hand out.

I personally like the 2 SD idea.

How about that idea excel? I was going to say something simular but you beat me to it. Why not a 2 SD boost for starter characters? That actually does sound interesting, and when we hit a certain mark, perhaps we stop earning the bonus?

That's actually already a thing called SD to SP conversion.

But still you would already need SD. Not to mention 50 SD to convert it into a trait etc.. As I remember?

How is this starting us off?

Basically no benefits your saying.

Starter characters already have faster growth thats sort of the point and the more sd you get the less its about stats and its more about builds, creative rp, and techniques. So someone with 500 sd even could compete with someone with Izuru's sd which is a solid year of straight year of rping difference.

Also this would effectively only be increasing the level a starter is and thus by equivancy all mooks would be around that level too since starters are meant to be just a little stronger than mooks.

Just an alternative to not consider the 2 SD.
