Hopefully the final part of these revisions, continuing directly off of this thread. I won't waste time listing any Options or whatever and summarizing the proposals here, as they can be seen here, though I can explain them with better wording if needed. Anyways, firstly I'll quote a post of mine from the last thread:
Of course, all of this won't be done in this thread, as it would obviously devolve into a seething mess pretty fast. The purpose of this continuation thread is so we can all be on the same page regarding the above, as the logic behind the system has already been discussed to death at this point.
Although, there are many ways in which what I proposed can be done, for instance, Dvorak1902 suggested that we downgrade all Tier 0 characters to Baseline 1-A and have people knowledgeable on the verse they're from make Context Revision Threads if they think the characters in question deserve a higher rating, and the same applies to the lower tiers, I guess. Given what I suggested above, I don't think this could be done 100% faithfully to the original idea, but the thing about knowledgeable users making CRTs to "upgrade" characters they believe deserve a higher tier seems fair.
However, I'd also like to bring up that we need to discuss what is basically the core of these revisions: Namely the changes on the applications of Dimensional Tiering and the way in which "lol dimenshunz" will start to be used from now on. This is something that I find rather surprising that I have to bring up, but I am really not devoid of any fault here, so I digress.
So, instead of arguing needlessly over which way to arrange 1-A, I propose that we simply start to analyze the verses which may qualify for the higher-ends of the proposed system, while defaulting to the arrangement I described above for convenience's sake. As the ratings of the verses come to a clearer light, the way in which the 1-A tiers are arranged may be tweaked a bit in order to conform to what is most optimal for our purposes, based on the number of characters a given tier may have, and such things, before officially applying the system.Ultima Reality said:Not really saying we should suddenly start analyzing every single 1-A verse in a single thread. Just noting that it may serve as a place for we to discuss how we are gonna do that and figure out the kinks of it. And to be perfectly honest, it seems like the best solution to me, since the logic behind the proposed system has already been debated to death, most of the original options are essentially dead and buried, and from what I've gathered, the people who actually gave their inputs and care to a small degree are mostly fine with it, with a few exceptions here and there which have been already addressed (As far as I remember anyways).
If you deem this to be a bad idea, I guess we can just default to this for convenience's sake, and then decide to start analyzing verses based on it. That way people can evaluate them properly using a solid ground and tweak it a bit if anything of note happens:
High 1-B = Countably infinite dimensions / layers = N
Low 1-A = Uncountably infinite dimensions / layers at their lowest bound = P(N)
1-A = Abstract settings with size roughly analogous to further uncountable sets of layers = P(P(N)), P(P(P(N))), P(P(P(P(N)))), and so on = Outerverse level and finite number of steps above it.
1-A+ = Infinite steps above baseline Outerversal
High 1-A = Above any recursions of size on any previous scale.
0 = blahblah transcendence / perspective. Transcends High 1-A by the same degree it transcends Low 1-A
Of course, all of this won't be done in this thread, as it would obviously devolve into a seething mess pretty fast. The purpose of this continuation thread is so we can all be on the same page regarding the above, as the logic behind the system has already been discussed to death at this point.
