Considering the size of Power Advantage, one person can't really answer all of your questions concerning certain pages here. So if your question falls under one of these topics, then email the appropriate person.
If you are looking to ask a question, please read the email FAQ. This will most likely answer about 90% of your questions. The other 10% may eventually make it to this list(Joking).
Q. Is this the official Dragonball Site?
LanderZ: Nope. Definetely not. This is an RPG (Role-Playing-Game) made up by LanderZ and MCrashinNow, probably not even known to any "official" Dragonball places.
Q. Did you guys invent Dragonball/Gokou/Dragonball products?
LanderZ: Refer up.
Q. Can I join your RPG?
LanderZ: Only if you read all the rules (Especially the Handbook and clans) and take a glance at the trainings/store and member pages of your race-of-choice. We don't like people complaining later saying "This race has bad stuff!" when you didn't check in advance.
Q. What do you do, here?
LanderZ: Well, that can be solved simply by reading the rules.
Q. Why did you call it The Power Advantage DBZ RPG?
MCrashinNow: Well, because at one point at another, any race or any person, can become the strongest person in the RPG. You just gotta be at the right moment, at the right time, and stay active. The person who is the most powerful person in the RPG is always changing.
LanderZ: Also, a sister site is in the blueprint stage which will be entitled Power Acquisition. That will be the PA Informatory site, whereas Power Advantage will be where you take Advantage of that knowledge (Or some such metaphor...)
Q. Why did you guys create this RPG? What's so special about this one?
MCrashinNow: What's so special about this RPG is that MCrashinNow and LanderZ wanted to create a RPG that we would know that the owners weren't cheating. In many DBZ RPG's we joined, the owners would always cheat for themselves or for their friends. What is the point of that, it defeats the purpose of actual RPG gameplay. So to ensure that no cheating would occur, MCrashinNow and LanderZ created the RPG, knowing that they could trust themselves not to cheat. Also, another reason why we created the RPG is so that everyone would have a chance to play an online DBZ RPG knowing that no cheating is going on, and they can enjoy themselves.
Q. What happens if you know that someone is cheating? In one way or another?
MCrashinNow: There are some ways for people to cheat, which we have found ways to prevent. But if you ever find out about someone cheating, report it to MCrashinNow or LanderZ and we'll take care of it. You may even receive a reward for helping us.
Q. Do you need help on your website?
LanderZ: On a general basis, help is always appreciated. If you're looking for a job as staff, you'll have to join as a character, be a visibly active character, and fill out the appropriate forms when they become options (Not often do we need new staff), and then they'll be processed. We would appreciate help on things such as new trainings, items, and ideas.
Q. Can I be a webmaster/Site owner?
LanderZ: Sure; why not? I mean, MCrashinNow and LanderZ only put this site together from scratch, and have run it successfully for several months. I mean, why not just let anyone else who want to own it in? of course, the fact that this is all sarcasm must be taken into account...
Q. Will you help me build a website?
LanderZ: Nope. We will not be helping anyone with site building, on a general basis. If we know a friend who asks for help on a certain function or such, then we can help, but we won't help random people off the internet. We are too busy with our own site(s). We also are not giving permission for anything on our site to be copied.
Q. Can you visit my site?
LanderZ: Perhaps... Does it have any relevance to our interests(Dragonball, Animé depends on the person)?
Q. Can you be my friend?
LanderZ: Umm.... probably not. We all have plenty of friends, here. If you're a girl living in the Okanagan region, and are around 18, and are very hot, then compromises can be made...
Q. Can you make me popular?
LanderZ: Umm.... probably not. With bribes in the forms of large cheques, perhaps...
Q. Can I use your information/battle strategies/images, with permission?
LanderZ: Everything on here is ours, and ours alone, save certain images from various other sites (Which will be replaced in due time), Dragonball copyright things (The name Gokou, Krillen, Parunga, etc.) and both the dice-rolling system-type and the categorization system for characters are copyright of a friend of mine. Everything else is OURS! But since you asked so nicely, there is a pretty good chance you may be allowed, on certain things (Select images).
Q. I stole/modified your stuff, and there's nothing you can do about it!!
LanderZ: Don't be so sure. By 99% of most online service Terms of Agreement, products taken without liscenced permission is penalizable by immediate deletion of your site. On the other hand, we could always just speak with your ISP about internet theft. I'm sure they take great pleasure in disconnecting people. If all else fails, there are always lawyers...
Q. Hey! You didn't update!
LanderZ: Perhaps not the main page, although it doesn't matter. We can only update every so often, as we all lead lives of our own. Deal with it.
Q. Hey! You didn't respond to my emails!
LanderZ: Well, I suggest you don't complain about it. Chances are that we're either busy, or it didn't follow the stated RPG rules, and was deleted without notification (Such as Join forms with rather stupid mistakes, such as Swordsmen Namekians). Besides; YOU try getting that many emails in one day, and responding to them all!
Q. Can I call you by your real name?
LanderZ: I can't answer for 'Crash, but I go by Lander, LanderZ, or LZ. My internet identity holds. Call MCrashinNow "Crash" or Mike, although the first one will get a better response, I suppose.
Q. What happens if I die? Do I eventually come back to life?
LanderZ: Well it would be good to make some friends in the RPG, that way if you die, they could always go on a Dragonball Quest and wish you back to life. If you have no one to wish you back to life, there is another option that will be opened soon. Also, while dead, you are still able to partake in sparring people to get stronger so you don't fall behind. Although, you can only spar other dead people. And sometimes if enough people are dead, then a special event may occur in the world of the dead.
Q. Can I be a moderator/admin at the forums?
LanderZ: No way, no how. WE decide who will get these positions, and when. Prove your value and worthiness, and perhaps we'll consider it.
Q. This site is definetely the worst site ever.
LanderZ: Go ahead and make an original site of your own, and we'll see who has the last laugh.
Q. As a viewer, I feel you owe me for this crappy site.(Taken from PA!)
LanderZ: Huh? Hours of free entertainment, and more of gameplay? If anything, we should charge YOU for the site!
Q. Hey! That stuff was taken from my/another site!
LanderZ: Really? Considering we made nearly everything ourselves, and what we didn't make we got copyrighted permission for, I highly doubt there was anything YOU had that we have, that another site didn't make and copyright first. What's this? Your site was created after ours?...
Q. Well, then I've found another site that copied off you guys!
LanderZ: Point us to it, and we'll see for ourselves. Rumours are terrible things to start. We like to nip things in the bud, but we WILL resort to showing copyright stuff if worse comes to worse, and copyrights don't lie.
Q. Do you hate other Dragonball site?
LanderZ: Well, no. We do not even come close to hating them. We resent our things being taken, but that is why we ask permission before we even bother to take anything.
Q. You stole my Dragonball information!
LanderZ: What? You mean YOU created Gokou, Krillen/Kuririn, and the whole Dragonball thing, and it was stolen from you?! And you're taking it out on US?! My God! We feel terrible! Maybe we'll jsut remove stuff like "Kamehameha" and "Akumaitokosen" because you MUST be the creator of them, since you said so! [/sarcasm]
