If you want to teach, take the sensei test. If you want training, ask a sensei/senpai. Stop complaining, it speeds up the process.
I would kill for a burrito but yet I don't have oneI would kill for medical training.Consider yourself lucky.
Let's make an approximation that about 45/50-60% of the RP system have at least one element mastered. Not because one masters an element generally means he is fit to teach it. Your suggestion is like saying everyone with an element mastered should be a senpai. Some members are lucky, they get training in the first month they've joined, and mastered the element that same month as well. That member would be nothing but an inexperienced member with element mastery status, and thus would not be fit to teach. Regardless what rank he can go up to, why send him out to teach others?
The whole problem is that you newer members can't wait. I've joined around this time last year, and yet I don't have everything mastered. Some have joined late last year in October etc. and already have the basic five. Stop comparing to older members, NB didn't have such a large population back in the day, there were less members who RP, less members interested. Yet, you still have members from back in 2009, 2010 who still haven't mastered the basic 5, if yes, then maybe not ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu.
It's the same cycle everyday, everyone gets up and wants to be a senpai. The day they become one, their entire style changes because they simply can't handle the pressure. Not all sensei or senpai are active in teaching, so what? I've been a senpai for about 4 months now, the first day with the title was all fun, accepting students and feeling like I have made an accomplishment. Two weeks later, wallies of training requests in vm, pm, email and msn. Deal with it, I teach who I can. Taking the minimum of 20 students, and at one point I took a maximum of 42 at one time. Everyone has RL issues, some has a heavier burden than others. It isn't easy logging into NB each weekday, knowing a limit of 5 hours until you need to study, etc. That 5 hours I get, I have to teach. I'm not legally bound to teach, I'm not held by a contract, I'm not being payed, but still, I log on, I teach, I do what I do. And yet, there's no difference in results "Train me plz plz plz plz. Please Drizzy senpai plz." Everyday, approximately 10-20 training requests are sent to my profile. How do I deal with it? "Sorry, currently full", if they're generous enough they understand, if not, they continue, "plz plz plz plz". Things and time change, I'm not online during weekdays any at all or only for an hour now, I make up for it my training extra on weekdays. Using an example, on Friday of last week, I decided I'm going to relax, watch One Piece, the end result, "Senpai, reply to training plz plz plz". I'm tired of the "plz", I'm tired of the "train me". Yet, I endure it, I accept who I can, and tell whoever I'm unable to teach that I'm full.
There are too much impatient people these days. I'm talking on behalf of all sensei and senpai here. It simply annoys me when there are silly suggestions for more sensei/senpai as if we're not doing what we can.
Darn those sensei and senpai...
Those lazy bastards D:
Wow makes my training speed seem like a turtleI agree U_U
Drey you posted your post twice:|
To be honest I don't see how people can't find training:|
I started RP in Jan. and I have all Basic Five Mastered, as well as being trained in Genjutsu|Kenjutsu|Ninjutsu|Taijutsu|Medical.
You just have to search which isn't quite hard.
I would suggest you ask Senpais to teach you basic five, and have Senseis do the remainders as Senpai's aren't allowed to teach it.
I know right? :roll eyes:Darn those sensei and senpai...

It took me more than 6 month to reach the C-ranks in Doton, and i'm still at C-rank and not complaining.Looks guys, you're all about "OMG I IZ WAITING 2 MONTHS FOR DIS SHIZ AND NO TRAINING YET!!!!"
It took me 8 months to finish Doton, and in total a year to finish all of it. I mean, honestly, it took me 6 months to finish nin, gen, tai. How can you complain after 2 months?
So, you don't disrespect senseis/sempais?
By suggesting this, you deem yourself, or who ever you want to teach you, eligible for things they are not eligible. That in itself alone is an indirect insult, as we've faced situations to attain or positions, while you would not have. And, if you would, it would just be the same as letting a sensei take more than one sempai. Not a solution either.

Once again I did not mean for it in that way. I am not complaining either. I just thought some sempais could have used some help to ease out their training schedules and seen how difficult it is for the new rpers to find an available sempai. I managed to find sempais for my elements and i am very grateful for that. All this thread was supposed to be was just an idea to have the RP community discuss. Do most disagree? Yes and I respect that. This was simply just a suggestion, not a rule.It took me more than 6 month to reach the C-ranks in Doton, and i'm still at C-rank and not complaining.
People need to chill and stop making the RP their only online occupation.

Challenge accepted xdI know right? :roll eyes:
I understand it might not be as easy as everyone wants but we have now more senseis and senpais than it has ever been in NB's RP.
I'm an RP mod, sensei, been a senpai, been a student, been no one in the forum. Perhaps not all people know but i started RPing a not even a year ago.
You must be registered for see linksthis was my first bio. Notice the date... 4th of May 2011.
In less than a year i mastered basic 5, ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, gentle fist, wood, fuuin and i am receiving medical training.
Was it luck? No. I talked to people, interacted a lot, became very active, logged in every day, read a lot, learned, was patient, etc. I asked every sensei and senpai. Many weren't available so i was patient. Eventually i started training.
Once i mastered the basic 5 i applied to be Scary Yamato's senpai. I got the place. Eventually i took the sensei test and passed. Applied to be an RP mod, and got picked. And it all wasn't by luck. It was hard work. You need to be very active to get somewhere in the RP. You need to be nice, patient, etc.
Now, it may not be easy for everyone, but you also have to work for it. Just dropping random vms here and there on senseis and senpais won't do the job solely. You need to be active.
Now, students teaching students is an absolute no. It won't work and would eventually kill the RP. We already have enough under qualified "teachers" around and the effects are noticeable. Lowering the quality isn't the solution.
Now, be patient, be active and eventually you'll find training.
Some ppl are just lucky. I have been extremely lucky. But I feel for the people who haven't been cos you know its a part of the forum that they want to be a part of be there are obstacles against them which prevent that. I know when I started only a couple months ago a lot of other ppl were joining as well. Idk what the solution is but a lot of people want to play and maybe there should be some other alternatives for them to gain training or something.Challenge accepted xd
My bio got approved on the 25 of december. I worked pretty hard to master basic five, gen, tai and almost done Nin and am starting medical and fuin.
I dont get how everyone complains. Work hard and be active in the RP forum and youll get good and find teachers. This is not the solution.
Well people post on sempai or seneis walls asking for training. Honestly if someone asked me how my day was and was kind instead of a "Can you train me in doton please?" I would most likely enjoy responding to the VM instead of some people ignoring profile msgs and still asking. Sometimes even in a rude members, if you speak to someone who later becomes a sensei or sempai using those connections isnt illegal o.o However I dont recommend trying to befriend people for training just be friends with a lot of the senseis or sempais and one day youll see "Accepting Students" on their profile and if you ask nicely youll get the spot. Most of my training came from activity and applying at training apps. Im sure most people do the same as I use to, if someone became a sensei or sempai they would be stalked until a thread was made for apps or until they were ready to respond to the flood of VMs. I usually got lucky when I was on and saw a training application which helped. Keep an eye on the RP forum and make friends and youll get there xdSome ppl are just lucky. I have been extremely lucky.

iono like i said ive been extremely lucky. I have training for everything and only applied for 1 spot, usually just get offered. but thats def not the norm. I mean even at the end of the day people have to be patience yes because this whole thing is dependent on other people, and at the end of the day they're going to do what they want to do. If they don't wanna train they won't ya know? And you cant train yourself so...even if there was an idea like Dupa suggested, the same thing might happen...Well people post on sempai or seneis walls asking for training.

While i certaintly admire and respect both of your patience, i can also understand where the new rper´s are coming from, they first hear about the rp, they make their first bio which gets approved.Looks guys, you're all about "OMG I IZ WAITING 2 MONTHS FOR DIS SHIZ AND NO TRAINING YET!!!!"
