Academy of Noble and Martial Skills

[Shabbaman]

Steeplechase and strategy classes are full, I'm sorry. There might be additional horsemanship classes in the future. At the moment, I signed you up for 4 classes. With the classes you'd teach, you can join two more classes.
You're hired for pistols and rifles, and Veera Anlai is hired as charges teacher, unless someone comes up with a higher stat value.

I'll join rifles, pistols and charges classes myself.

You all have until tomorrow to post the new stat preferences. The next training, scheduled for the 25th, 1500 GMT, will include the new stats. Note that the current rostrum doesn't include those upgrades yet!

 

[Shaitan]

Looks like you need more instructors.

Sign Snow up for Tracking and Stealth to fill out the roster.

 

[Shaitan]

@Shabba - Don't forget to remove classes from the results when there are no students in them.

 

[Shabbaman]

Thanks. I thought the spreadsheet did that automatically. I've everything figured out, except how the thing counts the number of teachers and students.
Only Gunning1 got extra pay, I'll drop by his pub and drink a barrel as compensation

Tracking is full as well...

 

[Shaitan]

All righty then, go for Melee.

 

[disorganizer]

i would like to join the 3 POWDER classes immediately.


if you want a teacher for any other classes which i could teach, please sign me up as such (i believe 1 is possible for me to teach? as 4 is the max-class limit?)

 

[Shabbaman]

Melee is fine. Plexus can handle some 14 students

Dis, aren't you dead?

 

[disorganizer]

no. UNdead!
otherwise i could create a new character ;-)

 

[Veera Anlai]

Shabba: Snow and I have equal statistics in the Rifles and Pistol categories, but I requested to teach the class first. Why did he get preference when I was first to ask?

Also, I do not have any interest in teaching the Charges class at this time.

 

[Shaitan]

@Veera - I think it's because I'm meaner.

I'd be happy with one class. Or maybe we could hold a general marksmanship class with both of us involved...

 

[Veera Anlai]

I wouldn't mind sharing classes... Teaching pistols and rifles is much easier when you have a tar- er, partner to demonstrate with. ^_^

 

[GenMarshall]

I am interested in singing up for the Rifles and Pistol classes .

 

[Shaitan]

See? Our witty repartee is already attracting students!

 

[disorganizer]

Me also! Me also! Please!

 

[Shabbaman]

Yeah yeah dis, you're in...

Veera, I'm sorry, you are in fact correct. I was probably half blind at the time, since I figured snow had a higher rating. But I think we can come to an agreement, since I'd like snow as teacher as well. I wouldn't doubt if there's demand for more Powders classes...
For this training, I'll keep it like this though. I'll approach Gonzo, The Married One, if he's willing to stop teaching Equine. You could do equine class.

 

[Shaitan]

How about this...Veera and I do the combined Rifle and Pistol (Marksman) class. Counts as two classes for the students and instructors. That way we can take up to 10 students in the class.

Mechanically it would be the same as individual classes but it's much cooler for role playing.

 

[Shabbaman]

It does sound cool, that's correct. But how do I implement that?

...

I can see how this works, but there are some people interested in rifles only, for example.
But, since I suspect rifles and pistols will be full pretty soon, I can propose a new class, of course: marksman class. Trains both pistol and rifles, skills NOT combined, double the cost, double the income. But I can't afford double the pay.

Well, 'legally', you're both able to teach 5 students for each skill, together, you can teach up to 10 students. But (I think) you can't teach in rifles/pistols besides marksmanship. So, I'll have to find someone else to teach those classes.

Summary:

class: marksmanship
teachers: snow&veera
pay: 50 each
max. students: 10
cost: twice normal tuition
upgrades: pistol (standard 0.05), rifles (ditto); for the teachers 0.2 Powders (that's 0.1 for each 'subclass')
This means you get the same income as for 1 class, but double the points (and that's a pretty good deal imho)

I'll put all students who are currently in both pistol and rifles in marksmanship (CG, dis and me), and I'm now accepting new teachers for rifles and pistols.

 

[Veera Anlai]

The deal sounds fine to me Shabba, although I'm curious if a person enrolled in Marksmanship can also enroll in Pistols/Rifles....
I'd also be willing to teach Equine, but don't press Gonzo too hard to jump ship if he doesn't want to do so.
Thanks for the compromise Shabba and Shai

 

[Cyc]

As gonzo_for_civ seems to have given up his RPG jobs, I would like to resubmit my application for becoming the Steeplechase Instructor.

 

[gunning1]

Gonzo hasn't given up his jobs.

I talked to him in the chat last night, and he said that the academy was keeping his account alive....
