I have a suggestion that could go many ways, and Itachi feel free to shoot this down...
Since there is an abundance of Ninja from beloved Konoha I was wondering if we could ally two of the villages, Like Iwagakure and Kumogakure or have council between the Raikage and Mizukage of the Mist Village *forgive my slow memory with the Japanese names*. I think it would boost apps and give a more 'side' rp some meaning to the storyline as this could be either good or bad for Konoha nin.

Hmm....
I can see it. I actually have a few ideas concerning villages and bumping up activity. We will see about all that.

You agree then? I figured I was out of line with my newbishness

Well, we definitely couldn't do it right now. Or very soon. It would require more thought, hard work, and creativity. We'd have to decide what purpose this alliance would serve, how it would benefit an actual RP, who would be involved, and how to implement.
But it does generate ideas, and in that it is good.

Yes I would like to see more activity in the other villages as I have a chunnin or jounin from Amegakure and I need MOAR! Ame people to PAWN! I propose a temporary ban on Konoha nin applicants until things get balanced out.

That was tried, and that did not work.

He's right Sakon, anyway we need to focus on a way of boosting the appeal of the other villages that have no air time on the show or in the manga. That was my main purpose in aligning the viullages so that they could work as Sand and Konoha do.

Hmm... then we could do it in an IC way then I guess through a war or a combined mission or two perhaps or an alliance taking place or an alliance breaking or what not is that what you guys are proposing? Perhaps we could also have once we get enough Akatsuki an active search for a Jinchuuriki in a village or two to get things up and going in these villages

I like that last one Sakon. I think Akotski wandering the villages wilol bring either 1) Increased activity in and around those villages 2) Increased pressure from Konoha newbs to pursue the Akotski

Hmm....
You may be onto something with this Akatsuki chasing idea. It's a very, very good idea.

I can see it as a sort of peace agreement: Until the Akatsuki are dealt with the Kages of allied villages are cooperating which would allow for teams from other villages to travel to one another in active threads that have meaning

I'd agree with that, only the sound village usually has enough people to run on its own. Maybe coordination between the villages, except sound and Akatsuki.

MISSIONS! Moderated Storylines! EVENTS!
Elaboration available, if necessary.

As someone applying applying for an earth country ninja I'm also in favour of increased activity. However I think that to if you want to do this we would need to look at why some countries are more popular. I personally believe it's mostly because of the attention they get in the anime/manga especially konoha is shown from many sides which allows players to have in impression on what the village is like. This allows them to have a clear image of what their characters surroundings are and what they can/will do there.
Villages that aren't fleshed out are like big blank spots on the map. A player with a character here will need to make up everything from scratch while trying to not state things that contradict what others have written about the village already.
I suggest a group of players is put on each of the unknown villages with the duty of describing the more important aspects of the team. With this you should think of: -people of note besides the kage's you'd might want to at least have a name and general idea of the abilities of each villages elite jounin)
-architecture The leaf and sand villages are different because of the difference in surroundings. Konoha has lots of trees so you see a lot of wooden buildings. Also we know it's a classical japanese architecture for a large part. The stone(earth?) village is amongst mountains I believe so perhaps they have mainly stone buildings. And who knows what sort of architecture (medieval european? tall buildings? low buildings?)
-landscape / places of interest Are there any landmarks in the country? Important monuments? natural borders such a rivers or mountains? it's all of it vertile soil or is it a wasteland where nothing will grow?
With such things we can give players a basis to work with which might boost applications for these villages.

A good idea to flesh out the villages, if not for the new users just to make the overall forum seem to have a bit more zazz to it. I could bullshit out a good history or architecture in a flash if need be. Just ask Kuroya xD
Kch, I eat plotlines for breakfast. The problem is, with plotlines, it limits some character's freedoms, and they don't really like that idea. And though the Akatsuki chasing idea is nice, it would involve people playing these Akatsuki characters (Though I wouldn't mind picking up Sasori again for temporary reasons, I have his username and password still handy), we would need a reason for Akatsuki to be in these villages, tailed beasts aside, since we don't have any users to play them either.
I suggest a totally original plotline with Akatsuki, if thats what everyone is so obsessed about. Thats right, I said it. Screw the tailed beasts, we don't have the resources right now. We'd need a Naruto and such, along with people willing to actively and realistically play Akatsuki, and we just don't have the users or activity for that now.
Perhaps it could be something to tie in the Kage idea as well. Akatsuki is hunting down the Kage, to prepare for the inevitable Fourth Ninja War, of course, only Tobi is aware of this, the Akatsuki members are believing they are doing this to relieve the security of the villages, throwing them in chaos and ultimately making the tailed beasts easier to find and harder to protect. Which is a plausible theory.
We lose old kages, we have to 'elect' new kages, and we get the Akatsuki chasing idea as no village is going to like having their kage shit on. It kills too many birds with stones to practically be legal. Not only that, but with some of the smaller villages without a kage, it also forces them to realize they need a alliance with the bigger villages to boost their own security.
Of course, Suna and Konoha would be the major players in the alliance, they really wouldn't need more help from anyone. As right now, there isn't a need to ally all the villages as the prospect of a ten tailed beast is out of the question. However, it provides an excellent story backdrop as the minor villages would have to scramble over alliances, fight for dominance in the coalition, as well as increasing the animosity towards the bigger more active villages Suna and Konoha; thereby effectively establishing factions as well.

I was thinking of a conquer and defend thing. I mean the villages could attack each other on their way to become the strongest. Thus, the promblem of being outnumbered comes along. So it could just be a battle between the Kages and 3 selected ninja chosen by them. By the way, does this forum even have a Kage, Jinchuriki, and Organization system?

Ultimately, I want to see the forum divided into two sectors; a story board, where character's will have a little less freedom to do whatever they want and stay in character to the rules and regulations of their villages, and an OOC board, where people can quick battles with anyone, and are not bound to the rules of the previous board. However, RPing in the OOC board won't yield the same benefits you'd gain from posting in the story board.
