Question about Training (Ayuki/Krompt)

[Ray]

So I love to RP, love it. Love it so much to the point where I find myself walking around with a spraint ankle. I obviously can't RP train like this, but I read somewhere even if i'm not grinding a rail or speeding through a park, if i'm "training" my RPing, I can gain some sort of SP for it? This is my first time RPing ever in my life and I find it very enjoyable! I can only really enjoy it to it's fullest potential by RPing with other people. I tried to train with Satralis but when training with AT's, I find myself repeating or recycling the same thing over and over. And it grows tiresome quickly. RPing truely shines for me when scenarios and stories are played out in threads, a little drama and fun here and there. I do obviously want to move up in rider ranks, so if i'm RPing with AT'ing in mind, whether it to be ATing to the cafe or daydreaming about it in class, could I still get SP for it? For example, in the beach section of the RPG forums, you'll find a post with me, Cho & Chika just playing out a story, we're not ATing but we're RPing, right? You don't find the Air Gear manga constantly ATing without a story. If there isn't a way or system of gaining SP unless you put "training" on the post title, we could just find ourselves mass posts of recycled and repeated RP training by users with AT's just to grind SP to move up in ranks. That, to me, isn't really RPing. And of the threads that do pass 2 or 3 pages, I can guarantee you, it's not training :D And it's those type of threads that really bring everyone together, involves the community and brings out the fun and social side of it. That's what I call, RPing! So if something can't be sorted, I guess i'll just have to make do with staying as F-class for a very long time. lol.

Thanks for your time,
Ray

Well, gaining TP means that you are also training yourself in RPing, y' know. It doesn't necessarily have to mean that you have to actually "train" to get it; although, I'll have to speak with krompt about something I had on my mind for a while. Like for an example, after a thread is finished, we could calculate the amount of SP you guys get (even if it is training or not). That might be easier and at the same time kind of trickier, I guess; and maybe a bonus SP for whomever started the finished thread? =3

P.S. I'm glad you love RPing!

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea! It'll definitely benefit those like me who RP more towards the story side of things then ATing and training. How you determine that, i'll leave in your hands. :D
