What about having another skill-tree, a simple one which would contain: Hearing, Vision, Smelling and Hiding. Every player will have to spend a certain amount of points on those skills from the beginning of the game without any progression unless he gets rank-up (then he will get more points to put on what he wants). On the other hand, what those skills do is more complicated.

1.Vision- something similar to the Eagle Vision in Assassin's Creed, but you can't see clearly the objects. All is black unless another player is hiding. If you have enough points on this skill you can see the position of that player signaled by a red area, however you can't move while using this skill so you will have to turn it off and go to check. When you put more and more points on this skill your Vision will have a bigger range and you will have a bigger precision, Oh yes, I forgot to tell you about precision. Things won't be as easy at the beginning, the red color that indicates the area of the player will be really big compared to the real position of the player, you will see a red area like 5 times bigger than the character size.

2.Hearing- very similar to Vision sense, is a detecting skill. The difference is that when you use that skill, there is no black screen. On the other hand, you can't move nor using camera rotation. If someone is nearby, on the screen will appear some arrows that indicates his direction, simmilar to shooters, when you get shot by someone some red arrows appear around the screen like here: (here would be 2 players around you as there are 2 indicators). Also here, when you put more points on it, it will increase your Hearing range and precision. PS: the red arrows or semicircles won't disappear but they will palpitate.

3.Smelling- Unlike the others two, this is a tracking sense/skill. While using this skill, everything turns black, you can see only the contour of the objects around you and a red way that shows the traces of the player. While this skill is on you can't run, you can just simply walk, so if you are in a dangerous place alone, you would better use this skill for some seconds to determinate the main direction. The whole image will look similar to this:


4.Hiding- This skill is a passive one. Depending on how developed is this one and depending on how developed is the enemy's detection skills (1 or 2), they won't detect you or, they won't have such a good precision as they would have if your hiding points would be 0. In few, this skill is the one that counteract the first 2 senses.

I always tought it would be cool if you had to recongize a player of how he/she looks not the name.It would add soo much realsim and it will be cool too.Cloaks shouldnt hide your name but hide your face

This is something really hard to be done as there should be put a lot of work in character creation (I would say so much work that it becomes impossible to be done). Is very hard because you can never imitate exactly the reality. Sometimes, even in real life it happens to mix up persons because they can look similar, but just think how different are the people as on the whole planet are 7 billion people and all different. To make your idea real, the creators of the game should create at least as many face features as in real life. Now think if this is possible.

I've seen that GMs and Developers dont usually play with normal players on most games They would usually come on to do a short check then log off. They are usually invincible when they play with normal players. But I know that developers, GMs and testers usually play together on a private server.

I think Vreg wants to make this game, first of all, because he wanted to play a game like that. We, the other players, just take the advantage of it.

maybe every 2 months a new election? The kage's could do lots of great things in 2 months imo.

But would you like to be stuck with a terrible kage for two months?

This is the charm of a long therm. People have time to see how the kage is, some people may want to assassinate him from shadow because they want the power, or maybe all the villagers will unite to dethrone him because he is horrible. In just one month you have time to do nothing, as a kage and as a player. Also, if there will be a kage once in a month, being a kage won't be something special anymore, will become something common. I would suggest to be even one year thus the player will have time to form an idea about their kage and to make plans related to this, this will mean that choosing the next kage will be a very important thing (so people won't say something like:"Hey, let's choose this month X-kun to see how he is, next month we can try Y-kun.". This way they will become just some sox: try it, wear it or throw it to the trash). So, because choosing a kage will become a very important decision it won't be something decided in one second, it will require some time for finding the suitable person. In addition if a kage is killed or dethroned, the village will be weakened, a small chaos will establish, a good oportunity for other villages or rogues to strike, making the game more fun.
If you will choose to let a guy be kage for one month or so, all those things won't happen and as I said, being a kage will be just humdrum.

Most useful one: Earth
Strongest one: Fire or Water
Coolest one: Lightning
Your personal favorite: Wind

Also, the best combination: Earth+Wind

Konohamaru.
I think on the second position would be Kabuto- he is just a nerd who kissed Orochimaru's ass for his whole life and when Sasuke killed Orochimaru, he just creep and took the power. (I see him like a version of Gollum)
