TFF's Official RPing Academy

[T.G. Oskar]

I'll (still) limit to announcements for the moment. I feel I'll just add more flame if I say any opinion around here.

I altered a bit the history of the setting into the version provided by Baneheart, and also added details on the Academy. I only have the Beginners' Tower complete, and office space is available throughout the entire Academy.

Also, added a new race.

Finally, there are some students that have posted their intro post within the thread. Please feel free to offer your assistance on the matter, if you wish to. There's a little mistake on Draco's part, which we've already pointed him out (it's a matter of the choice of race; there will be no elves in the setting, replaced by the Vorians); please assist him based off the other parameters.

I don't really know whether or not I should mention this in here since TFF World is currently seperate from the Roleplay Board, however in the rules of the World it does state that the rules from the RP Board are to be followed in TFF World.

Now may I direct you to "Base Rule Number 1": No Signatures in the RP Forum.

Surely this applies to TFF World threads as well, only a select few are following this rule, in fact teachers and even our Headmaster are failing to follow this basic rule. It could have something to do with the script applied on the RP Forum that means that sigs aren't shown, but unless the script is applied to TFF World people will have to turn their signatures off manually.

I wouldn't bring it up but it's even happening in the current Mission Thread. And 'No-Signatures' is an RP basic.

This is true. When I created the club, I thought that the rule may apply, but since it's under Oskar and I's control, and since this is something entirely different, I don't mind the sigs. If Loco or one of the other RP mods want to apply the rule to the forum, I would not mind either.

Now, on another update, I've added student level payments. This means all teachers are allowed to pay a student (x) amount of gil depending on how well they did in a mission. A recently created thread within the academy will refer to more details.

Well as I said I only mentioned it because of the thread Rules of TFF World

Also can I make a suggestion, perhaps you could adjust the max. payment for a perfect pass at some of the later levels or lowering the price of exams, I mean assuming that a Level 10 student recieved perfect marks everytime it would take 21 perfect missions (which would be difficult assuming judgement becomes tougher at higher levels) to be able to buy the level 10 Examination. Perhaps a more suitable price for the exam would be around 18,000 Gil - 20,000 Gil. I mean, 21 perfect missions seems a bit too excessive even if more than one teacher can pay per mission.

Ah, I didn't read all of that myself. Well then, I suppose we can take out the sigs in that case. Either way, I never really thought the rule would mean so much.

20,000 it is. I just figured if since when a student climbs a level, things are going to get harder. If you're a level 10 student, your skill should be good enough to get near-perfect marks. Plus, you'd have to add in that they're amount of gil will be building up more and more as they get some extra gil on the side with some missions. For now, I'll just drop it down to 20,000.

I will insist that you do follow the Roleplaying rules of the forum to the letter. If you are going to train the new or inexperienced members to be valued members of the RP community here. There must be the consistency between the two or else the members will end up getting in trouble for things that they were doing in your forum, but are against the rules in the RP forum.

While we have signatures disabled in the RP forum it is a matter of manners and being courteous that signatures not be present in the RP or RPB forums. Signatures are a distraction and pull you away from the actual post. It'll be good practice to get into. I'll hand out warnings for not unchecking the signatures in the coming weeks if I do not see an improvement.

I find this quite interesting. Your teachers/high-rank people might want to take a gander over the rules before you go any further. Just a suggestion.

If I have time tommorrow night after work I can modify the settings to include that sub-forum. I can't do it right this second since I just got home from one job and have to get some sleep before my next in 5 hrs... hah.

In the meantime, as stated you must disable your sigs manually or fear the rath of the mods. Thanks!

Well I figured I should post here before I write my post for the first mission as I have some questions related to the creation of characters, if you've read my characters profile already you might have an idea of what I mean. I know that each level has certain bonuses attached to it but does the title itself have to have any meaning to the character? I made my character around the idea that he was a magitek knight. I couldn't find anything saying either yay or nay.

Also nothing has been mentioned on curative magic or status effecting magics, where about do they fall in the levels of magic?

Um, will missions only be taking place in the Academy? I know everyone was talking about the set up of the teaching and everything for around the Academy but there is still a whole world outside the Academy for stuff to happen in.

OK, so I'll I have done is ask questions so enough of that. From what I've read so far it has been pretty sweet. So go go gadget teachers!

[Mistress Sheena]

Yeah.. the titles have nothing to do with anything. They're just there. Ignore them when creating a character.

Not at all. It's just slapped on there to make it feel more final fantasy-ish.

Well, there's two categories of magic here. There is the typical final fantasy kind where I've based it on FF8-9 spells such as Fire, Fira, and Firaga, so the magic level is based on which spell it is. Then there's the freeform magic, in which anyone can create their own kind of magic. It isn't specifically based on FF magic, only combined to, again, keep with the final fantasy theme of the TFF world.

We plan of having teachers take students out of the academy to experience more real missions for better learning. Only in some situations where the dojo or outside dojo may be used for RPB training.

Gah. I was hoping it would mean something, like a class... Or grade if you are American. Like erm, 3rd grade. If not that then I thought maybe it was a leveling system like in the case of music eg- grade 8 singing voice. I thought that it may affect out studies.

If not then I guess thats cool. Putting us all at different stages in a class might mean we wouldnt be in the same room so it'd be alot harder to interact. It's best that way.

Anyway. I thought I'd best show my face here.

Hello everyone.

You know I really should too, I hadn't before because I couldn't really add anything to the discussion.

Actually I want to talk about my character, it occurs to me that people may not want any form of slavery to exist in this world (people who read my character bio in the character creation thread will understand) personally I think that every world needs a little darkness plus it's a great little thing to throw into a characters past and makes my character very different to the others we've had so far. I ask that it's allow for there to be slavery in the world not that it should be legal in any of the countries. If you do choose let it exist it would work like a smuggling ring working where the arm of the law dosen't quite reach, it's something that people try to pretend doesn't happen. If none of you agree to it then I'll simply change my characters past where neccesary. I'd like a selection of opinions on a possible addition to the world

EDIT 1: eep! just noticed that it says to do mission 1 before posting in the character page. I did it the other way around because I didn't think it mattered and it gives me a solid base from which to write my character. Sorry about that

EDIT 2: I'm just going to post the stupid thing, if and when anyone complains I'll make change where necessary
