First off Hawk, it is really not difficult to navigate this site. XD I can't tell you how simple it is to get through this site. Honestly, this being your first proboards site is not really that good of an excuse because in the past, WC was my first proboards site, and I had no problems going through it because I read the rules, looked through the site, and learned everything on MY FIRST DAY THERE. Here is what the problem is with the people who leave because they don't know how to get around. THEY DO NOT EVEN TRY. There is no excuse to leaving a site because you don't know your way around it, and don't even ask for help. And even when you do ask for help, you can't expect a staff member on this site to tell you literally how to do EVERYTHING since that is not our job to do so. So you were right to go to support if you really didn't know how to do it. In my honest opinion, you all are intelligent people that have been able to make it this far as to even register on this site, so you all would have some common sense on how to do something that is right in front of you. I honestly can care less if they helped out more than we did because it is there job to do so. Posting, rules, and the boards are all easy to find and do. (The rules is not only a link at the top, it's the first board on the HOME PAGE.) If people decide they want to purposely not try to even look at anything like I just described in parenthesis, then that's not my problem even if we need more members. That just creates more drama that we have to deal with and just leads to bigger problems. What I'm taking from your post is that you feel like we're not helping the new members who don't know what to do (according to what you said, you were one of them), and that we should take some time out to help them. Let's all ask ourselves this question. If a new member comes online, and doesn't ask another staff on what to do, should we be responsible for something like that? I think not. I believe the way that boards are made here is so simple it takes a caveman to not know what to do. Even one of my friends I know in real life (I'm sure you all remember Webber Phantom from Season 1), and I got him to join WC, and he grasped the information he needed without any problems and knew what to do. That's what you all have to do guys. Everything will not be laid out for you in life, so you need to learn how to adapt. As long as you try just like me and Webber did, then you will have no problems. Still, we are open to questions you all may have for us, but we're not support admins that just tell you everything since we most likely do not have the time to. And honestly Baku-Master, I already told you that it was going to be a test to see if people were going to battle again and said nothing about it being permanent, so you didn't have to be as stubborn as you were on a previous post. "If we raise the power levels, then I'm finished." We were just going to try something, not keep it. I had no intentions of keeping it that way then and don't have any intentions on keeping it now. Me, Boom, and Carson discussed a few things in the chat regarding the patches we have for the rules that we believe will help Ryek and a couple of others with the "complicated battle system" and should make it easier for everyone. You will get that pm maybe today or tomorrow depending on how much time I have. Atom, that idea is denied unless you post one bakugan site that is not dead, then I may be convinced to do that. XD

To me the g-power stuff that makes people to not evolve their bakugans started from the season 2 or 3 canon, the canon were allowed to create 1500G bakugan immediately, so members copied it, the staff did not deny it instead they remove $400 or $500 from thier money, which is easy to get through 2 advertisement in other site, if you want people to create/evolve their bakugan, first deny members including canons from creating 1500G bakugan instead 1000G and they pay $400 to create 1200G bakugan.

Ummm, I thought I already said that it was discussed... Plus, what you posted is obviously unfair for everyone since that doesn't solve the problem, so there is no possible way I'm approving that. We're trying to place everyone on an equal level and not allow any payments to making anything higher than the standard power. Also, I hope none of you took offense on the previous post I made. This is honestly what happens on nearly every forum. You have members who grasp the rules and learn their way around, and there is some who don't. The only thing we can do is at least try to reach out to them and see if we can perhaps direct them on the right path instead of them not telling us anything, and end up leaving afterwards. (Not saying they won't leave even if we do help them.) The only thing we can do is try.

I don't think it is very fair for a beginner player to start an open brawl and be played against all pros and ultimate brawlers. They will always get beaten by them and they might not win for a long time until their at least a pro brawler. Thus, what if they don't have any created bakugan or cards, that would be unfair as well. Lastly, if they cant buy anything they'll lose also.

I'm sorry, but this is honestly the dumbest thing I've seen in this thread. Buying things and owning things is in no way a hinderance to anyone. If you don't want to play a pro, say so in the thread, otherwise it is an OPEN BRAWL which means anyone can join. There is no rule against placing restrictions on an open brawl. Furthermore, my sister, myself, and a number of other members have been threats to even high ranking brawlers since we've joined here. It's all about skill. And if you don't have it, you shouldn't just throw out an open challenge to EVERYONE. Just newbies. If you're going to suggest things guys, don't spit in our faces by making rules that ONLY benefit newbies.

If you aren't smart enough to know your skill level, then go on the safe side when creating open brawls. This way there will be no complaining from members about "too strong opponents", or crap like that. Honestly, when I started, my first match was against a canon. It ended with me being destroyed. Then I battled Kalin's sister. I got destroyed again. Then I thought, "what if I only challenged people at my skill level?". Probably one of the smartest decisions I've made on the site, that's for sure.

Probably one of the smartest decisions I've made on the site, that's for sure. I did the exact same thing. When I was a newbie I brawled strong people and lost, so I brawled newbies and people my skill level and got stronger and evolved after a while. The cause of battling stronger brawlers with my skill level I got to be a canon, and a pro. Though what i'm trying to say, this site is dying because bakugan is old and I understand that. I was playing on WC since 2009, and each time a newbie comes, they all seem to be dumber and more stupid, and that honestly kills me!! I also think the high power G is getting out of hand, I loved it when it was 500G and you actually HAD to win 7 brawls to evolve a bakugan. Honestly, what I'm trying to say here, is that I missed the old WC and the some of the new newbies are flat out stupid to not follow rules or even read them. (no offence)

Well My opinion is that the Rp of this site must be improved not brawls.I think the members of this site is getting bored with brawling[includes me] and I think the site should concentrate more on RPs.I do agree with Kalin that atleast one line as a reply is enought.

Would you like to know what I expect? (This is Silver not who ever the heck they chose to replace me as Hawk.) An increase in storyline and ACTUAL RPing and a decrease in idiots who complain about how everyone else gets to be canons or staff and not them. I also think that we need to stop making people who can't RP to save their life as cannons. At the very most you should give them the opportunity to Rp as a minor character but thats it. If they can't put at least 2-3 DETAILED paragraphs in a post they shouldn't be canons. Would you guys who keep complaining want to know why the canons are treated better? Because this is an RPG site, just like Kalin said. Let's take a look at the people who deserve to be canons, shall we? Blade: Welcome to the Underground, an illegal variant of World Championship that really had more interesting brawls. With more advanced technology and a feisty audience, brawls here were much more competitive. There was always one rule that everyone went by in the Underground that made things really easy for everyone. There were no rules. Just do whatever it takes to win. The brawler who stood near the lift that was going to take him up to the next battle was none other than the infamous brawler who goes by the name Blade, a Subterra brawler known for his power, skill, and aggressiveness he shows in battle. As he took the lift upwards, it wasn't easy to miss the serious look on his face, which he always showed. Eventually, he reached the arena. The audience was more far out than in World Championship to ensure that no one gets hurt and provide a better view of the arena. The field was much more advanced than any other due to the illegal funding they get, so they have a lot of money to throw around. Due to this, the arena floors were actually indestructible for those who decide to throw around their weight. As amazing as the battlefield looks, its setting was instantly changed to an ominous Darkus battlefield that had dark-colored buildings with a nice open street for the battle to take place. On Blade's shoulder was a Subterra bakugan called Axostriker, a very powerful bakugan that was feared around these parts. Since they both had deep and scary voices (Blade's voice isn't really that scary, but Axo's is), they were pretty intimidating. "Some of these brawlers are too soft." Blade said. "I'm thinking them and their bakugan don't make the cut." Axostriker opened on his shoulder and said, "Of course they didn't. Their bakugan were too bent on following 'rules' that they learned over on the other side. The battle energy was plentiful nonetheless, so they weren't all that useless.""As a bakugan of your caliber," Blade said. "I wouldn't expect any less of you to completely destroy your opponent. This guy we're up against is known to have some sort of a shapeshifter, so do what you do best. And remember, don't you dare lose." "You know I never do."Axo said as he closed, getting ready for battle. "Gate card set!" Blade said as he tapped a gate card on his bakupad. The field let out an energy pulse to signify that a gate card has been set. Blade then grabbed Axo from his shoulder in his right hand since he's right handed, and threw Axostriker onto the field. "Bakugan brawl! Bakugan stand! Destroy them, Subterra Axostriker!" Axo stood in his monster form as he had a dark aura emanate from him. He was a dragonlike knight/warrior that had retractable wings, so he could take flight whenever he liked. The appearance of his armor looked like it was very sturdy. He then took his battle stance, prepared for anything his opponent throws at him. He's got a big introductory paragraph to set the scene and then adds smaller paragraphs in order to go on with the story line. This is a good example. I could go through a ton of these but let's only pick a few more example's of good RPing. Boom: "So...disapointing, your crowd will be of course..." Boom said softly, as the field changed with the snap of a finger. "Gate Card...open!!! Apocalyptic Wastelands!!!" Boom added shouting as the field transformed into a deserted ghost town. The sky became as clear as day as the sun directly beamed down unto his opponent's bakugans, draining their energy. The ground which they stood on became a rocky mountain top, causing the opponent's bakugan to lose their balance as they struggled to become stable. "I hope you'll adapt to our new environment...." Boom confidently said as he saw his opponent's bakugans become weaker.
"I'm not done yet! I summon Subterra Gaia Boomtrix!!! unto the field!!!" Boom added shouting as a meteor rose straight from the core of the earth, taking the appearance of cannons and equipping to Triad Elymphus. Boom looked at Triad Elymphus and needless to say, Triad Elymphus began firing massive balls which seemed to be combinations of the earth crust and core. Boom could hear the gasps of the crowd as they seemed surprised due to the smack talk his opponent said before the battle started.
"Hahahaha...look at you....your are just pathetic..." Boom said, followed by a somewhat evil laughter. "You're cheerleaders doesn't seen to be interested in you anymore..." Boom added as his tone immediately changed into a voice full of anger. His posts are never ridiculously long, but there are always three posts, and they have enough detail to get the point across. Kalin: Kalin smiled. "So...ya got some fight in ya, eh laddy? I like that."Twirling the small cross on the necklace he wore, Kalin stared down the Aquos bakugan. Strong skin, obviously, and the tail didn't look like any type of hinderance. The haos bakugan opened again on Kalin's shoulder, more muffled grunts being made audible. "I agree my friend, it is time to put these fools in their place."The bakugan closed as Kalin put his hand around it and tossed in nonchalantly before him. "May Christ be your ally, Rise Delamire!"With that, Delamire rose to the field, his dark wings opening behind him, golden bands around his wrists and covered in chainmail armor bearing a red cross. Covering his face was a wall of blood-covered bandages, making it impossible to look him in the eye. "Let us begin! Ability Activate! 7 Days of Demolition!"Delamire's wings expanded to their full size as Delamire slowly began to grow taller, roaring maliciously. "It took God seven days to create the world, and it will only take Delamire seven turns to destroy you."With that, the golden bands on Delamire's wrists transformed into long, powerful blades, capable of slicing through any type of metal, and he lunged toward the dragonoid bakugan. "Now feel the wrath of God!"If you aren't the paragraph kind of guy, then at least do what Kalin does, he usually has two sentences per line and when he has only one sentence the line gets the main point of the post across, it describes what the character and his bakugan are doing and how they are going to achieve their goals as a character. For Pete's sake, it's basic character development. Kalin does a good job of actually taking it a bit farther than just basics as have the other two that I have mentioned. How about one more? Tetsuro: Tetsuro let out a loud yawn. He had made a good move in reality, tetsuro just loved to mock his opponent." ability activate. Eyeless buster." he said as he tapped the ability on his bakupad. Vizgardrian fired a lazer from his eye at the butterfly. The real point of the ability was the fact that it switched the gate to his own. Tetsuro had a plan." now that I have your attention, and the gate card. Gate card open! Zero eye." When it was activated, a eyeball apeared in the middle of the room. It then unleashed devastatingly powerful winds that would slam Moonlight Butterfly into the the wall. The fun part was that moonlight was now green, signifying it's change to the ventus atribute." your move, my little...hmmm...." he sat for a moment. He wanted to say friend, but he really didn't like this guy. He then raised up his finger." GOT IT! You are my plaything for now." This i a good example of the very least that a person should do when they are RPing. I'm not saying that Tetsuro did a bad job. I actually think he is a pretty good role player. All I'm saying is that he is the prime example of why AT LEAST 2 paragraphs works very well. Again Tetsuro and the others do a good job of developing their characters. Now let's talk about those who need to work on RPing. I'm not gonna spend time on really bashing these guys. I just want everyone to see what I think is not what canons should do. Ok. You ALL knew that this was coming, so as a disclaimer, I would like to say that I don't hate this brawler he just happens to do many things that bother me. This is one of them. Jake: Kalin's opponent is a worker in the wc snack shop, his face looks really calm and handsome, even though is a worker in wc he his very proud to be one, afterall he is the son of the most wealthiest man in Washington D.C, so what does he want that he doesn't have, unlike most rich men children, Jake which is the name of Kalin's opponent, Jake never show off rather works in the shop, brawl a little and go home. Jake the most gifted aquos brawler, stared into the eyes of his opponent and smirked, he was also wondering why Kalin did not set the gate card in his turn. "well maybe he want me to make the first move" Jake said to himself. Suddenly a blue bakugan in its ball form poped out of Jake's pocket. "So Jake, what do we have here another brawler who want his butt kicked""I don't know Atlanticon, I am not too comfortable with this brawler, he even want me to make the first move". "Don't worry Jake, we can take him down together""You are right, let's get the party started, baku pad activate!!! Jake yelled "Baku pad ready" a female robotic voice responded. "Here goes nothing, gate card set, Bakugan brawl, stand my guardian and claim victory, Aquos Atlanticon"A dragonoid with an aquos attribute rised from the gate card, his body was made from adamatium metal making is skin impenetrable, he has a long tail to attack opponent that are foolish enough to strike from the back. "On gaurd brawler" Atlanticon said to Kalin. Before I start talking about what is wrong with this, let's make some good points. Jake at the very least makes a good job of putting in a long enough post to be acceptable for a canon. He also describes his character and tells us what is going on with the story. Ok, now lets talk about what's wrong. First of all, spelling is a must. It's okay to slip up in words every once in a while, we all do it, but if it is common with you, then at the VERY LEAST, proofread your posts! Next is basic grammar, again, a few mistakes here in there are fine, but let's look at this shall we? -Kalin's opponent is a worker in the wc snack shop, his face looks really calm and handsome, even though is a worker in wc he his very proud to be one, afterall he is the son of the most wealthiest man in Washington D.C, so what does he want that he doesn't have, unlike most rich men children, Jake which is the name of Kalin's opponent, Jake never show off rather works in the shop, brawl a little and go home. Why is there a ginormous run on sentence!? You cannot use a comma to replace every single piece of punctuation. -Jake the most gifted aquos brawler, stared into the eyes of his opponent and smirked, he was also wondering why Kalin did not set the gate card in his turn Another run on, this should be two sentences. Also, don't get me started on why the words, "The most gifted Aquos brawler" should not be in that sentence. -"well maybe he want me to make the first move" NOW he doesn't use a comma when he needs it. There's about 3-5 more things I could point out in that one post. However, I will stop because I promised that I wasn't going to try to attack Jake. This has nothing to do with Jake and everything to do with why canons need to be good at roleplaying. Another good example: Hawk (Not me but the kid that they replaced me with): "let's see, i am stuck, so you think, right?" the rock star pointed to the band "time to turn up the volume!" the crowed cheered as Hawk jumped in the air and started to once agin tap on his bakupad that held all the data of his magnificent cards, and other things. a bakugan type thing flew and landed on the field and stoo next to Minotitan, "this has a very good effect that can help!" then, Minotitan started to drain Tridal Elymphus"s power, just the way that it had happened to Miniotitan. Hawk then signald for the band to stop, the then did a finnal solo. Then, there was silence, then, Hawk yelled "Attack!" The music once again stated to play dramaticly as Minotitan charged at Booms bakugan "time for Boom to go, boom!" Hawk said to once again cheek his opponent. This and the other post that this kid did in that same brawl were about half of what I wrote in one post. Not only was this as bad, actually in my opinion, worse than Jake's post (Horrible grammar, spelling and ridiculous god modding), it's common courtesy to at least try to be consistent in one battle. I'm not saying mimic the person's style but you should write as long as they did. Then once the battle is over, write how you feel like writing without changing the actual character, just make sure that you role play properly. One more example: "Erggh!!" Khragonex was quickly hit by the lasers, as he crossed his arms. "Whoa he's too fast! Ability Activate! Sand Barrier Tornado!!" A tornado shield surrounded Khragonex as it protected him from the laser blasts. Khragonex then blew this tornado that consisted of Ventus and Subterra powers at Drago to strike him. I have nothing to say except for the fact that we should be posting better as canons, less we forget why we have been trying to reform stuff on the forum in the first place. This is exactly why the length should be similar to two or more paragraphs. That is all I have to say.
