Concerning Clones, and Entering/Exiting Topic's

In truth, this topic came about when reading about a fight where a ninja used fission, then two shadow clones, then two shape-shifting techniques, creating 6 versions of himself to confuse opponents and staff when he fought. As well as how they could logically enter and exit topic's. So, we shall start simple, and blossom out from there.

• As you know, clones can only last a certain amount of time. Either that, or they run out of chakra. Clones can not naturally recover chakra, but they can absorb it.
  
• Absorbing chakra does not reset the clone, nor does it extend its duration. They simple get more chakra back (like if they are running low)
  
• Clones can not learn techniques, meaning should a person do an update, previously created clones do not automatically learn it.
  
• Members are to clearly label clones in posts, mainly combat topic's. They can use, letters numbers etc etc, but just saying "He went this way, and he want this way, and that one went that way" is both confusing to members, and a headache for staff to move though. A good approach is "Clone A moves west, while clone B went north, and clone C went northwest". This is to avoid conflicts
  
• There is a cheap ploy certain people try to do, utilizing entering and exiting via clones and originals (fissions). Where a clone goes into battle, and the original "continually" learns new techniques (using the information provided by the clone), then enters the topic with said techniques. We don't allow this. Its not a good tactic, and its not even a cheap thing to do, its simply a form of abuse. Members caught doing this will simply be relegated to losing that chakra. (This is a case by case basis, such as. A topic has been going on for 3 pages, and the original decides to enter, staff may choose to allow. However, should member try and create anti-thesis jutsu's to those he is fighting, then they can be denied with post haste)
  

Also known as the poor man's alternate character, not because its poor, but because is an extremely cheap ploy. Shape-shifting brings about its own problems, especially when members try and put a ball in a cup to confuse members with who is where and such.

• Shape Shifting brings about a world of trouble, mainly because how it works and how members WANT it to work. We ask our members to respect our rules laid out
  
• Shape-shifting techniques ( in all there forms) grants the target the replication of the caster. In such a way, that they possess all the jutsu, skills, weapons and techniques.
  
• Shape-shifting techniques (in all forms) only have the chakra resources of the one who it was cast upon (the target). [Such as, a Jounin uses the shape shift technique on a genin, the new shape shift only has the chakra resources the genin possessed]
  
• Shape-shifting techniques (in all forms) can not naturally recover chakra, they must absorb it from other sources
  
• We ask that shape-shift techniques not be a permanent fixture in the life of your character. And that after 4-5 months, they simply decay too much and die. Staff will be liberal on this, unless we notice a member abusing this aspect.
  
• Shape-shifting techniques lose all access to there original KKG's, techniques, weapons etc etc, this is the price that is paid
  

For most of the site, exiting topic's can be a frustrating and confusing thing. Especially when they try and use speed techniques to exit, or believe they should be made unassailable when they exit. However, staff feel entering a post is most often the most hazardous events, and such have created some guidelines pertaining to them.

• When entering a post, especially if its a combat topic, we ask members to respect the posting order, and not continually spam entrances/exits
  
• There is no chakra restoring between posts, just because you leave one topic and enter another, doesn't mean your chakra is restored
  
• Consistently entering and exiting topic's (only to enter again) is frowned upon, and staff will ask members to not do it
  

• When exiting a topic, one still needs to make sure they were not interrupted. Exiting a topic is valid after 72 hours. Members can still role-play in various places but should a interruption occur within that 72 hour time frame, they are "halted"
  
• Members can not make attacks during an exit post, they can continue attacking with per-existing moves and such, but they can't preform new attacks during the exit.
  
• Constantly entering and exiting topic's (only to exit again) is frowned upon, and staff will ask members to not do it.
  
• As a rule of thumb, we as our members to be courteous when exiting a topic. If we notice your just itching to do something we will let you. If we notice your itching to kill someone and run away with that kill, we will put the brakes on that.
