Hello Staff.
So, you must remember all those points in Digimon were the characters used plot power to get out of tight situations. For example, when Apocalymon de-digivolved them. Only by using their 'inner power' were they able to come back and have their digimon digivolve without the need of the crests.
This is my suggestion; a 'Limit Break', or however you want to call it, system. Members will be given these 'points' in things such as Art Contests, Tournaments, Plot, and maybe even have a list of achievements that would let you acquire one. Maybe even once in a while given in MPC's and such.
The list of members with points will be slowly made, as members start acquiring them. These points will not be easy to acquire. Once gained, the member will have to post in edits, stating how they got it(awarded in plot, a tournament fight, art, etc), possibly a link to prove it, and staff will add their name to the list, with whatever amount they have accumulated so far. Once used, they disappear forever. You could get 5 in a month if there were enough things going on around the site, or you could go without any for months, if there was no way to acquire them. So they would have to be used wisely.
It will not only give member's another 'drive' to participate in all kinds of things around the site, it will also make threads better. For example, I'm currently fighting a baddie that de-digivolved me to champion, with no way to reverse that but to maybe wait a few posts. Wouldn't it be cool if when that happened, you used a LB point and with the proper justification (Your digivice's power shattered the 'seal' preventing you from digivolving, or it just gave you a boost of power) you could digivolve again, be all badass and stare the baddie down. And he'll be all like 'What the?!'
What if someone far stronger got you angry? Maybe you could use a LB point to have your rage increase your power for the thread. Not that it would make a rookie be able to fight against a Mega, though.
What if someone was trying to use a mental attack on you, and you had no defense against it? You could use a LB point, and 'through an act of sheer willpower' repel the attack.
You could even, temporarily, achieve a stronger form if you don't have the required posts. (A burst of emotion activated your digivice and a massive amount of energy bursted out of it)
The uses and excitement it could bring are near-endless. The only limit is your imagination.
Of course, baddies will also have their own reservoir of LB points. I'm not totally sure yet, but they could have a certain amount of LB points per thread, perhaps 5, and if they run out of those points before the end of the thread, then they have to deal with things on their own, without any sort of plot power. Perhaps a baddies 'increased power level' (baddies as of late seem to be Ultimate or Mega, BUT with an actual power level of Super Mega or beyond) could only be sustained when he has his LB points, once used, the baddie's aura weakens, and he is dropped to a normal power level, so the person NPCing would have to be careful between using his plot power or maintaining his increased level. Not only will this limit unfair abuse of plot power by baddies, it will also make things a bit more 'realistic'. Because you know, not every time a baddie shows up, means that he is stronger than the good guys. Maybe the good guys had been training, and were actually stronger than him/her/it. Or are we following Power Rangers logic here??
They will never be sold. Or maybe sold only once per player. They will never be transferred, even among your other characters.
Baddie's LB points will of course result in more dramatic things happening. Player's using the points will be almost unrestricted - common sense will be used here; no auto-kills, no riches, no auto-hits. They are not Dragon Balls.
When a player uses a point, he will have to notify staff about it. The staff member will probably have to read the post involved and determine if the action is allowed or not. In most cases it will, perhaps a small list of things that can never be done could be written up. Now, before you say 'We're basically letting you godmod with it', what's the point of the rpg if you can't emulate the series? To be able to emulate those exciting moments in anime were the guy somehow pulls it off? And well, plot baddies do it all the time. I think it would even offer the baddie some sort of amusement. Creativity is severely restricted here, I could imagine a baddie being counter-attacked in some ingenious way and he being all like 'THAT just happened. Prepare to die!' xD
