I would like to request a retcon on an Absorb of a the character Sheath, who was used by the currently banned player Athren. The thread in question wodsouls.freeforums.net/thread/5522/devil-weapon-closed-sheath-zyajin was made into a DE thread retroactively due to Athren getting banned from the site, and I was unsure how to proceed with the thread. So I asked him over Skype what he wanted done since it was just hanging there in the air. My intention if he hadn't gotten banned was to do a flavour effect of DNA sampling rather than a complete Absorb and proceed with fighting our characters against one another. However, he got banned and said for me to eat his character since he was highly unlikely to ever return to this site. However, that has now caused an issue to arise in terms of path progression since I had been intending to go down the Chrysalis/Metamorphosis route on Zyajin, and it turns out that if you absorb a PC at any time prior to the PL requirements for either Chrysalis or Semi-Perfect, you are automatically locked out of ever achieving the Chrysalis route... I was under the impression from the wording of the forms that you simply just did not need to Absorb once you reached the PL requirements to achieve Chrysalis... not that you could not Absorb anyone at all in order to go down that route. So, I would formerly like to request that whatever steps are necessary to rectify this situation to be taken, whether that be a PL drop etc or whatever is required.

It would appear the thread was graded as a "Major" absorption, because you were given 33% of Sheath's pl.
So here are the options for you- 3,228 pl gets subtracted (33% of sheath).
Or stay and take the semi-perfect route. You've already met the requirement for the better transform.
Personally I would recommend having the 3,228 pl subtracted because I believe you were incorrectly graded here to show a "major" absorption was taking place. Even if you changed your mind and wanted to go semi-perfect later I feel you've lost out on the significant pl boost it is supposed to give, so I would take the reversal.

I was under the impression that absorbing anyone who's 33% PL boost would not get you to 120,000 was supposed to bring you to x8 Bio Metabolize, NOT give you a Power Level boost. I suspect it is a mistake that you got PL at all. Either way, if you want to retcon it, given the odd circumstances I wouldn't argue against it.

With the exception of the fact that he should also lose the bio-metabolize, I would be in favour of him losing 3,228 PL and remaining eligible for the Chrysalis transformation.
Last time we encountered a situation like this, however, a site-wide vote was necessary to ratify it, and I believe that should still be necessary. I know it is bureaucratic and I am sure that it will pass with a strong majority of players, but I don't want to open the gates to other people demanding retcons on situations they just don't like on the basis that this was passed by staff without a vote. Precedent is an important thing.

Alright, standby for a poll.
