Bao edit - relevant thread for reference: wodsouls.freeforums.net/thread/792/species-tracker-census-thread?page=1&scrollTo=2652------------- I agree with all this, except possibly the Aliens. They are pretty much custom, and I thought the idea with those was to start filling out our ranks with diverse species as we've seen in the various Dragon Ball media. It's not like they're all one species. Hell, aren't 2 of our current ones just variants of humans (And I don't mean barely different, I mean they are literally offshoot/modified humans)? We don't exactly have legions of Brenchians or anything atm. I know we are trying to get people to actually sign up as Namekians, but maybe we could provide an incentive, rather than taking away other options? For example - higher starting PL until the numbers go up? Cause right now - options are limited, and with another wave of newcomers, we'll probably be down to Demons, Androids and Namekians. Oh, and Bioandroids, once they're implemented.

Just noting I don't like all these new caps myself(and have been pretty lax when it came to this stuff thus far), I exercised the cap mechanic for hybrids because literally everyone that was joining was becoming one (and still is trying to for the most part), but humans had no cap because we are on earth, and the others races don't seem to really need to be fenced off like that.
(also technically two of our 'humans' are hybrids, human-demon)
Speaking of which I raise the notion that, if Tsumuri likes, he could have his character swapped to demon (so long as it passes community vote), since from memory I believe the only reason he was human was cause at the time (zucetta) had demons capped.

The idea is nice. But I'm afraid caps can push new players away. Rather than limiting the number of races available at a time, I would simply go with what Hyoza suggested: higher starting PL for races we want to promote... lower starting pl for races that are crowded.

The hard caps I do agree can turn some people off as they wont be able to create their own characters. I think that we need to promote the races with higher power levels or more zeni or more things of the sort to promote these races for a week or so.

Just noting that I updated Pieters post to list current limits rather than what is 'locked', since this discussion is ongoing and until rules are changed admin must go off the rules as they currently exist.

*Was lazy there*
Sorry abut the confusion!
At any rate, I do recommend the cap on Namekians, Humans, and Aliens being raised. However, concerning Aliens, we should establish how many of each should be in. Direct the number at Types and the quantity of each. If you want idea of what I mean, I'll post my full thought tomorrow. Have get up early in the morning to go to a town 2 hours away to scour for an internship.

This is true. Demon's were capped so Tsumuri's a halfie
