Voting:Level 5's and Up/Powers Reset

As the wiki transcends into this new era, users have revealed their discontent for the current power-sets that are available on the wiki. Some think that they are overpowered while others think that some are not powerful enough. There have also been complaints the power-sets are too similar and don’t reflect the diversity of the 48 cabin gods. I wish to try and fix this problem using the majority's choice of one of the three routes listed below.

1: We simply revert all powers to where they were before the rewrite. This option would take the least time, however problems with balancing will remain, and some of the work on cabins such as Nike was fairly good.

2: We do another mass rewrite. I would work with members of Research and Development to look through the powers as a whole and see if we could gradually fix them all during the summer. This would take a lot of time and effort, but if done right, should be a decent course of action. If possible, I would also like to ask the general wiki population what they would like to add or remove, instead of just “fixing” it.

3: Bach and I were thinking of doing a rewrite to end all rewrites. In this option, broad power-sets would be listed on the cabins (eg: ‘charmspeak’) and there would be a link to an encyclopedia of powers. If a user had a new idea for a rewrite, all they would have to do is add the power (if it was approved) to the cabin list and write up a page for it. In instances where RP is judged like fights or contests, entrants would pick a certain number of powers, almost like a menu to ensure that contests remain balanced. However, if the wiki pulled it off, we would essentially never have to do another rewrite, and users would be given much more choice.

Please, feel free to discuss below. If desired, I can probably write up an example of each option so you can see what each would look like.
