Welcome to Gaia! ::

I voted yes. A guild cannot function when people refuse to want to change locations, regardless of it was a suggestion that didn't have to be taken into consideration or otherwise. There are several people in other cities just anxious for things to kick off but can't because nothing is happening. Just like those made plans to post somewhere, others have as well. Who's to say you can't take those plans to another area and make it better?

Next, as Roxas said, some of these locations are for the better whether you realize it or not. As those will come to find out of they have not already, some characters will be easily outmatched and like last time if a person doesn't take that into consideration and move, they will get killed. Just as it isn't in your plans to not move your character, I'm certain it's also not in your plans to let them die off extremely fast. As already seen, some are already moving out from Metropolis because their characters are easily outmatched. Don't take what's being said as a "suck it up and move" kind of thing. It's seriously for your sakes.

Lastly, nothing kills a guild off more than overpopulace. Take what I said about people wanting to roleplay in certain areas and expound the scenario: they run off to cities where a lot of activity is currently in, forcing them to do things they don't want to do because others didn't want to have the same leniency of taking the time to roleplay with them instead. Having one too many people in certain areas causes posts orders to be established, people having to wait and so on and so forth. Reality: you're stuck waiting when you could be moving on with your plans. It's understandable that you like roleplaying with certain people because you're familiar with them, but that's the point of a roleplay: learning to adjust to others.

For me, some people can make the change. Legacy heroes like Green Lantern, the Arrows, Superman, Batman and so on are sensible to be in their respective areas as you won't see them in places where they cannot take on certain villains (Superman can't take on Joker because his insanity is hidden wits, Batman can't take on Lex in his Power suit, etc.) The same goes with certain villains, so learn to adjust for others sakes, please? Or the guild suffers from another inactivity storm which would be a shame since it just rebooted.

I voted yes. Balancing areas out make this a fun experience for everyone, not just a few areas where people are "coupled", either as both heroes, both villains, or even mixed. While my character should not technically have to move due to the current odd stacking, (6 to 2, for those of you not keeping score), I am more than willing to move my character if need be. For those of us with character goals lofty enough to either prove to be a nation/worldwide threat or protector, we should take a look at the census and attempt to establish just where it is our character (s) may be best suited to going.

The whole idea of moving, as I saw it, was to diversify and challenge us as roleplayers. Stepping out of our comfort zone and not selectively choosing where we "wanted" to put characters by how well they would do against possible opponents.

My character is where she is for the sake of challenging myself, and providing "back-up" to the otherwise only other villain out in Coast. If she's more than capable of beating them off though, I am already considering moving to another area.

I too voted yes because of the fact that ultimately, we should be looking towards the health of the guild and look past our own characters. It's difficult, but it has to be done. And Roxas had a great idea and put a lot of work into it, and it would be pointless to just disregard that work. It would be like turning in your final exam paper and your teacher just burns it for no reason.

Also, for anyone that hasn't voted yet, please vote. And by all means , those who oppose this movement of characters, let your voice be heard. But please let's be civil about discussions. I don't want any arguments to begin again.

Yes because it should be done. No need to explain myself on that subject.

Yes, balance out the cities and activity.

It is a good concept, and I will discuss it with the mods and take it under consideration.

Voted yes, cause I already moved and if a character is in one place too long the RP gets stagnant.
