FAQ:
Q: Why am i here?
A: You are here because a staff member asked you to come and freshen up you RPing skills.
Q: I want to freshen up my skills. Can i post here even if an admin doesn't ask me?
A: Yes. This is for the use of everyone.
Q: Is this a punishment?
A: No! This is for your own good, as well as the good of the site.
Q: Staff asked me to come here. I don't want to. My RPing is fine. Can i not come?
A: No. You have to come. The staff member has obviously done this for your own good. If you feel you are ready, then post in the Final Exams.
Q: Does anyone get post points for being on this board?
A: Yes -- the mentors. They have put their time and effort into helping you, they deserve it. Also, when you pass, you automatically get 10 post points added to your profile.
HOW IT WORKS:
STEP 1A
An RP board staff member goes through recent threads and takes a look at how everyone is RPing. When they see someone that needs work (let's call our example person Slippingpaw), they send Slippingpaw a PM asking them to make a topic for being tutored.
OR
STEP 1B
Slippingpaw realizes he is not performing to the best of his ability, does the mature thing, and comes down himself. He could just want a check-up to make sure he's doing all right, even, but he volunteers himself to be tutored.
STEP 2
A kind and helpful staff member of the RP Training Board volunteers to mentor Slippingpaw. (We'll call our mentor Wisespirit) She replies in his board and asks him to post a sample of his RPing. Note that Wisespirit has already taken a quick test with the RP Tutoring Board administrator before becoming a mentor.
STEP 3
Slippingpaw does so and also asks any questions he might have at this time OOC.
STEP 4
Wisespirit replies to Slippingpaw's post IC after correcting his mistakes and giving any suggestions she thinks might help his RPing become better. They continue in this manner until Wisespirit thinks Slippingpaw is ready for a final assessment, which is given to him by the RP Tutoring Board administrator.
STEP 5
Slippingpaw passes! He goes out onto the board a better RPer, coming back to check up on his skills or possibly even apply as a mentor later on in his career.
If you have ANY questions whatsoever, please don't hesitate to post them
Our Main Mentor is Bravestar, So PM him for questions.
MENTORS:
If you want to become a mentor, post in the Mentor section. I will personally train you.
THE SECTIONS:
Mentor: This is where i keep a database of all the mentors, and those who they are mentoring. Also, this is where you try out to be a mentor.
Pupils: THis is where i keep a complete list of all those training, and their mentor. When your name is crossed off, you have passed the final exam. Also, there will be a list of all those asked to come, but have not.
Final Exams: This is where the final exam will be held. I will give you a setting, and you will choose one of your own characters to role-play. You RP with me, back and forth, for two pages. Then, I chat with your mentor and decide if you pass. If you do, you never have to come back here, unless asked.
Class: This is where the classes will be held. You make a post, and a mentor replies. Then, you RP on and off, your mentor helping you along, until you are ready to face me in the Final Exams.
NOTE:
This is not a major problem yet, but i fear it might become one. This is a major downfall of most RP sites. I do not wnat that happening here.
