That was my thought, Reikiko. Add a lengthy cooldown period of two weeks or so to each Dragon Radar use, that way the site strongest just can't instantly win all the Balls.

Dragon Balls work best when there is a challenge aspect introduced and when they work based off a dice-roll or some sort of luck factor. I think there should be a fair amount of warning that having a Dragon Ball means you're open to DE from everyone. There should also be a one-two dragon ball a week limit so that we don't run into the problem of someone finding all the Dragon Ball's in a day. There's really a lot that needs to be thought out in regards to Dragon Ball's because they can really start to break things.

BUMP.
We have our first planetary destruction.
This is a big obvious plot which can only be 'solved' through the use of the Dragon Balls.
I don't care one way or the other how staff decide they can be found, but they exist on Earth, and now gathering them should be a priority for quite a few characters. I think this is a topic which should be strongly considered as the next most important thing for staff to make a ruling on.

DBs are already the next on the priority list (as I said earlier, but just posting it to clarify). However, I'd like to point out that, ICly, maybe not that many people would know about the Dragon Balls, or Namek's destruction, or Vi-Poi's part in it. I doubt action to restore the world would be instantaneous given these three things (or at the very least the first two, and knowledge of the third could shift the priority to stopping Vip first).

Thanks for the clarification re: the dragon balls on the wait list. On the other points, though - my assumption would be that, even if the planetary buster wasn't felt, 'emergency broadcasts', planetary traders, and other such folk would probably make it hard not to notice the planet is gone after a day or two. Could we get a quick ruling on timescales if that's not the case?

Contextually, Namek is pretty secluded so I'm not sure those things apply. Maybe there were a couple of 'jettisoned' survivors ala Nameless Namek, Guru, etc from the original Namekian cataclysm.

I also thought the Blue Banner Army were monitoring Vi's movements. As the Pod he bought didn't have a stealth drive, I'd have thought they would have seen what happened and be suitably horrified. It is also a little annoying to be told, on the one hand, that if we didn't want this to occur we should have had our characters step up to stop it - and then be told immediately after that there was no way we could have known it was happening/has happened. I brought this up before and was told that we could have justified arriving because the Namekians knew Vi was there long before he blew them all up and would have called for help - if that's the case then it shouldn't take a genius to put together what happened after the fact. On another level - if we know what occurred, we can RP around it - dragon ball gathering when the rules are in place, training etc. If we don't, then we can't, and any possible cool RP from this is blocked off for the foreseeable future. Why would you want to choose the second possibility?

Responsibility for Vi-Poi ultimately lies with the few bBA members, etc, who decides not to tell anyone ICly, rather than an ooc admin block.

I can accept not knowing Vi is the one responsible.
Not knowing - or having any idea when it would be reasonable to know - that a planet with direct links to Earth has exploded? That's more infuriating, especially for a 'site-wide plot'. It is hardly site wide if we can't actually interact with it in any way.

Nobodies been saying that, though. Anyone with a degree of ki sense could probably feel the explosion/loss of ki.

I was only questioning the bolded above - if anyone with ki sense can feel it, there's no problem! Thanks for the clarification.

The only thing I can think of, logically, is that you'd need to know Nameks location or 'feeling' to know that it was specifically Namek that got wrecked. But you'd feel a large explosion and then the absence of a large amount of ambient ki, for sure.

For the 'mechanics' of the Dragon Balls I think there should be an application thread of sorts to make sure the persons wish is acceptable to the staff. This wouldn't limit peoples creativity and it'd be a good way to keep the staff aware of what is being wished for and what they can expect from the wish.
