Voting:Level 5's and Up/The Fate of Metals - Resolved

Before an entire revamp of powers took place, one of our former administrators pitched an idea for new weapon materials in order to balance the weaker godparents with the stronger ones. Despite the good intention of the proposal, very little people actually took note of the new metals other than the proposer himself. Now that the powers of the cabins are balanced, the need for the metals has vanished. Additionally, the weapon materials do not cover all spheres of power and regions of the gods. This, unlike before, creates an imbalance between godparents. In order to make this fair, the fate of the metals will be put up for a vote.

Option One
We will return to canon, the new weapon materials pitched removed entirely. All characters will be allowed to use Celestial Bronze. The children of the chthonic gods will also be allowed to use stygian iron. The stygian iron will not absorb a soul, however, and like in the book series, will delay the reforming of the monster vanquished. Note that in roleplay, the reforming of a monster after death makes little to no difference. Silver will be available for use, and given to the hunters of Artemis by default. Imperial Gold, however, will not be available for use, just as before.

Option Two
The new materials will stay. However, they will be encouraged into use and a reform will occur in order to make sure that all godparents are given a compatible and balanced new weapon material. This gives the administration team a new project to work on, inventing additional materials at the need for new godparents.

Option Three
Things are left entirely the way they are, only the assigned godparents will wield their special assigned metals and the other godparents will be left as they are.

Comments
I personally feel that option one is the best, for it allows us to stick to canon and remove a system that was largely left out of use. I also feel that there is no need to create new metals as layed out in option two, as the powers given are enough for creative fighting.



Before I vote, there's one thing I want to be sure of. Did the reform take the metals into consideration? I realize that you imply that they didn't, but some actual confirmation of that would be great. On a side note, I wonder if these could somehow be worked into an aspect of the new currency system, but that's a conversation for another time.
