See... now.. the thing about this is that Keng as a RP thing also considers Fraze to be equal or superior in rank to herself. You crazy special Ops people and your less than specific place in the ranking order that randomly changes based on the situation.

Ai-yi-yi, that thing keeps coming back to haunt me. I made up that position on the spot for the sake of a cool title, I never really expected it to go anywhere. But honestly, I don't think any of us cares much about rank anymore. I'm mostly going by length of time spent and activity in the guild. Despite coming in 2/3 of the way through the first 'Fleet RP and staying active through that, GW2, and Redemption, I still--for some reason--consider Fraze to be a relative newcomer to Spacefleet. On the other hand, I may currently be the most active 'Fleeter (if you'll forgive the mild conceit).

Uhm. Back to the topic at hand. I'm fine with Spacefleet participating in the archery contest (in whatever form it may take) as long as everyone else is. In-character, participating in a friendly competition like this would help diplomatic relations.

Let's just call it even-co leadership through use of random sub-commanders we can pull out of no where to give us our official orders that we can pass on?

(writing loopholes into the system is my specialty )

I hereby declare that there is a sub-protocol under section Z.A.-35, #352.17 (we have a lot of rules >.>) that declares that in absence of the Commander the highest Rank Commando in association with Special Ops will be granted special powers until the return of the current or deceleration of a new Commander has been made but only in the event that the Commander has been corrupted and his sub-commanders may be compromised. In the event of the Commander's return he or she must go through a full phsyco-analysis and consult with a psychiatrist/counselor before he or she may return to duty. In some cases community service hours may be required.

We can always make it so that a single increase in luck would need two points instead of one, but I fear that it'll make it that weak. I'll still need some time to calculate on a balanced equation.

How about something along the lines of...

You get three stats, Luck, Strength, and Accuracy. You get 5 pooints to spend, but you can take points away from stats to add to the others. The stats start at 0 and can be adjusted anywhere from -5 to +5. The equation is:

((1+(Strength/10))*(Roll^(1+(Luck/50))))+Accuracy.

If you go for high Acc, you would get evened out results, but with higher luck, it would be more random. Also, with negative Acc, you could end up missing the target altogether.

Nice equation. It makes sense that accuracy has a more direct additional component to the result, and that luck also plays a random part in determining the roll's increase.

I was also thinking of using different bows and arrows with different stat effects like "+2 to Accuracy", but that would need more classifying.
