| So. If we're like, not going to use it, how about we drop the holographic weapons system, eh?
I mean we're already a soap opera, and there are already real weapons available to the D.C so why not just drop the lovely Exaclan system, and change the term Weapon to Slave.
Just feel like I should note the internet can take the most blatantly sarcastic statement and twist it into sounding serious. This is not a serious proposal. But, really, why no Exaclan? |

| There are several reasons there is very little Exaclan, Star.

1. You need four people online at once, if at least to start the match. Two Masters and Two Weapons, unless you get permission to Exaclan with someone's Weapon without them being there. Then you still need two to tango, which requires finding each other and then finally starting the fight.
2. Fighting bare handed is simply easier than scooping up your Weapon (which the Master may or may not have gotten attached to) and putting them at risk. To add to this, the DC has their own Weapons that you mentioned, and why put their own Weapon at risk when they have a stun baton or something?
3. Most of the current playerbase prefers relationship and relationship drama, instead of the conflict generated from a physical match.
4. Our playerbase is now much smaller than it was in, say, May. How/why does this affect the lack of Exaclan? A huge reduction in Masters available as opponents.
5. There is no five.
6. The Utopia server has been down more and more frequently as time goes on. The lack of server (where 99.99% of the roleplaying happens) leads to lack of any interaction of any kind, which includes Exaclan.
I have only been here since November, but the entire time I have only seen five Exaclan matches. I hear many stories of how it was before, in the early days, where violence abounded and such. I've tried to set people up to Exaclan, giving them a Weapon if they didn't have one, and some of my Weapons trying to push their Masters to doing so. Out of those five, I have been in four of them, either as a Weapon or a Master. Now, I simply don't care. It's too difficult to care. You tried it yourself with Kayd and Nickolas, and later I tried with Celeste and Rin, while later, Aihara tried with Shogo and Rosa. No one showed for any of these.
I had tried making a topic with a list of suggestions on things, one of which including more Exaclan and various parts of it. This lead no where, as I couldn't figure out what to do in the end, what things to change or enforce. That was my fault and I apologize for wasting people's time and opinions. I've given up on trying to provoke Exaclan. It's just too hard. _________________  +Check out my Beginner's Guide. +I also have a sub-plotting/profile page for you to look at here. +Have fun, and Welcome to Utopia~

| Tyler is too good at roleplay combat so no one wants to face him. This is why there is no exaclan. |
