Hey everyone, this is mostly the result of someone suggesting for me to make this appeal/grievance.
What I'm basically about to talk about is a subject most of you will likely be annoyed with: Absorbs, more specifically: Reikiko absorbs
To go back to the start of this situation. During my month-long hospitalization in End January- Early February there were debates of Homunculi not exactly fitting in the universe, but also that they were, for all intends and purposes overpowered. Although I agreed with the latter, the first bit made me worried, not to mention Reikiko's morality and ambitions as a Homunculus were all over the place, so in the end I accepted the possibility of returning to a Bio-android.
At that time I was given an option:
Do I want to start as a Semi-Perfect Bio-android, or do I want to be an Imperfect Android?
I was given that choice, because in the words of a staff member: Reikiko did accomplish that absorb and gained its power. At that time the power I earned from Athren was roughly around 41~43k, but as far as I was aware of, or told there was no cap yet at that time. At that time the public knowledge (and the way it was worded in the template) was 33% with no cap. Of course it was a tough decision to make. Would I get my Semi-Perfect, or would I take a risk and become imperfect and prowl for stronger prey. In the end I took the latter
Only during my fight with Walker was it revealed to me that, yes there was a PL cap, BUT at that time it was said 50k (http://wodsouls.freeforums.net/thread/6247/bio-android-absorb-route-gains), but only later was it lowered to 33k, the amount I gained from Walker as a result of that rule.
My personal issue with this, perhaps selfish because I feel I'm being blocked from every direction or approach on the matter of my Perfect Form, is that the lack of transparency, uninformed decisions and 'adding those rules to the templates later' pretty much influenced a choice that anyone with half a brain wouldn't have made.
Please do not misunderstand me, I am not blaming people on staff, nor do I want the extra PL (sure it would be nice), and understand the need for a cap but if I had known that this was all happening in staff land I would obviously have chosen to make the decision to keep my Semi-Perfect Absorb.
I know, the 'ship has sailed' but in light of those things I'm hoping to appeal to the staff team to reconsider their opinion, because I do feel that it's a bit unfair all things considered.
Note, the poll isn't there to make this a popularity thing, but more to see what everyone on the site as a whole thinks about the matter.
