Firstly, thank you Con for pointing out the obvious about me. *hairflicks*

Nah, but in all seriousness. If we even do use this sort of system, I believe it should be restricted to those who partake in site-wide projects or collaborations and stuff. Essentially, people whose works require another opinion of them.

As we all know, this site has heaps of activity. Some of the activity is solitary, aka people writing for enjoyment of their self, while others write to collaborate and whatnot. If we force the people that write for themselves - who are realistically not going to join any site-wide fanon canons, timelines, etc - then that's just being a bit too imposing. This is especially because everyone's at a varying skill level and, as Con said, not everyone is descriptive enough to pull out a 100k character easily. 100k is a lot of effort and a lot of description, which is normally emphasized in the abilities section, that some people simply find far too frivolous to bother engaging themselves with. E.g, me.

In addition, I believe that this system could be used as a means to decipher who has the capacity to engage as part of the (what was previously known as) the Hunter-nin team. It could be more objective in this manner (albeit with the byte restriction removed) and thus mean that favoritism wouldn't be a major issue in that regard. Of course, other factors would have to be taken into consideration.

But yeah. It's not a bad idea, but it's not an idea that should be strictly imposed to everyone, simply because of the nature of this wiki.
