Allowance Poll

[Aburame Shino]

I see that a lot of characters are rich kids, family oriented kids, and other things like that. Well, if your parents love you so much, where's the allowance?! Why don't the rich kids have wads of cash to blow?! What happened to The parents of the college kids sending cash every month or so?! Simple--no one thought of it! XD I was thinking of creating an application for students (sorry, teachers/parents/school staff members, but I doubt that your parents send you an allowance) who wish to receive an allowance.

Before I do that, I need your opinion. Yes? No? Maybe? I'm looking for majority, people! Post your opinions, if you want, but make sure to vote!!!

_{Oh, and please don't vote NO just so you have the chance to say that I'm stupid. XD}

[Kiyori Shuu]

I'm okay with it, but what of those not from a distinguish family?

[Tayaki Jade]

Yeah... I think that it is a good idea too. What about the people who aren't you know... rich? If everyone gets the allowance, I am totally for it.

[Hatake Kakashi]

NO! That's a lame idea. Stupid Shino!

Except without as much spite. XD

Well, I've noticed that no one actually ever spends their Ryou on this site...or earn Ryou from jobs. So what's the point of getting more Ryou that no one will ever spend? O.o

Plus, what about the poorer families on this site? How do we decide how much Ryou certain people get? What about the fighting that could ensue from one person getting much more Ryou than the other?

I'm sorry, but I vote no way!

*has the feeling that some people have questions* XD

Okay, dudes. I've been getting questioning PMs and posts. I just wanted to clear a few details up with you all.

Point 1- What if you're not rich?

Answer- Well, you don't have to be rich. Even if you're not rich, your parent's might give you an allowance.

Point 2- No one actually uses Ryou on this site

Answer- Good point. I've noticed. That's why I'm going to try to organize the Ryou system a little. I know the basic need-to-knows. If you need them posted, PM'd, in the news fader, I'd be happy to clue you in. All I know--not too many people spend their ryou in posts. They say that they bought this or that, but don't pay. I have a simple compromise for this.

Every time you make a post where someone spends money, mark down 50 ryou for everything you buy in the post. I know, 50 ryou seems to be a lot for some things, but actually, considering that you start off with 2000 ryou, have job applications, and MAYBE, if this poll goes over well, an allowance system, it's not too much to ask.

Once you finish the post, send me or Ino, another mod who agreed to help me out if this goes over well, and we will deduct the ryou.

Point 3- What about poorer families? How much do you determine?

Answer- That's a very good question, actually. Stupid me! I forgot to explain. XD
In the application, there will be a question-type thing asking how much ryou that person finds to be reasonable for their status. If people who are poor are requesting like...2000000ryou per week, Ino and I will simply deny that much, and lower it to something more fitting.

*sigh* I'm sorry that I'm making all of this crap seem so complex. It really isn't too much...I think.
I just want to make this site seem as realistic as a Modern Naruto World would be. All I know is that modern kids spend money and enjoy it. If you still have questions, please send them to me in a PM, or just post them here. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.


Sorry for all the confusion on that.

I'm fine with this idea since I like cash. It's not a bad idea, but there should be more than one person to judge just how rational each allowance is. I guess this would be a fair idea, but for this to really matter, there would need to be stricter reigns on the ryou spending rule. I also noticed that most people ignore that 50 ryou deduction rule (though I try to follow it when I remember), so unless people pay attention, you'll end up with some random kids just trying to hoard up as much ryou as possible for no reason.

It just seems like when there is a system for credit/money gain, there's always some random newcomers that create big fusses over their money. I've seen it happen quite a few times in other forums.

Other than those little things, I guess the idea isn't bad. It's not necessary, but not bad. Might be hard to keep track of all the different allowances though.

[Aburame Shino]

I agree with the points that you bring up, Ira-san. I have most of these points figured out.

The Ryou system will probably be updated. I'm brain-storming with my co-worker, Ino-chan, so that we can get this up and running.

Ino and I will be working on this. We will both decide on what is fair and what isn't.

NOTE: If anyone else wishes to work on this "Ryou Project" with us, please PM either me (username: shino) or Ino (username: kat).
