So, this whole OoC PM PvP practice has got me thinking...

I'm sure most have already witnessed many in the chatbox talking about their personal PvP practice with other users through the site's PM system. This, I can agree, is a very good way to get some practice in, but, in my opinion, isn't perfect. While you still can get very good training for it in memory, it's also a record that will disappear over time if you just keep getting a lot of messages (up to 50 messages can be kept in the inbox). Now, I know what you're thinking: "Rita, we can train with Justine or with each other! And that will get us uses and experience for skills and all that jazz! It's also there permanently!" And you're absolutely right, but hear me out for a minute. You can be stuck in a dungeon, completely unable to get out for the longest time, but you know that you're going to need the practice, yet you still want a record you can revisit so you can see what you did wrong, right and all that jazz. I know some of you will think it's unnecessary, and I respect that, I can see how it would be, but it was never meant to be a very permanent thing, only a useful little area for when you have nothing left to resort to. Fair enough, right? And besides, it couldn't hurt.

Now, I'll be completely honest, I do have a tinge of selfish desire running on this idea, as I'd create a setting for it (not a full plot, mind you), including some characters and areas that you could use as training as well. So, yeah, I think it'd be win-win. If you're tied and want training, I can help you by throwing someone at you to fight and practice on, and I could, in turn, practice on my GMing and PvP skills as well (since most of you know, I do aspire to become a GM myself one day).

With that, I leave you guys with a poll. Do you want this? Do you not? The choice is yours. And of course, I already spoke about this with staff beforehand, so no problems there.

We used to have one of these that Term Paper had made. And to be honest, you'd be a great DM. Safi would too and most of ya'll would. But I think you should go for it. Practice for us and practice for you (For when you DM one day.)

As I said, I have spoken with Term about this and he has told me that we had something akin to this before. Regardless, this is supposed to be a permanent OoC just-for-fun thing, instead of being something that's used for prizes or such. I thank you for the compliment either way, though.

Edit: For clarification, with "permanent", in my first post, I mean that it isn't supposed to be used as the main way of training while, in this one, I mean that it's just supposed to be there and not be taken down. Hope that can clarify any inconsistencies. <^<
