the gauntlet discussion

oooohhhkay, so, it looks like a lot but it isn't, I just tend to over explain.

> Whatever advanced means nowadays, lets do that. For the purpose of this group, advanced just means write at the quality you feel capable and comfortable with, with the goal to improve. Not in the respect that grammar should be the number one priority, but in that you should write with potency and be mindful of the plot and its requirements.

> Make sure to read all of the information threads, it will save you a lot of time.

> Gender count does not have to be equal, but the likelihood that there will be more girls than boys in the academy is statistically slim, so keep that in mind. There will be no character cap, but realize that no matter how many characters you make, a small percentage make it through the Gauntlet.

> Character approval is necessary before RPing, just because some of the plot points are so restricted, characters will require a quick read-through to make sure none of the charrie's attributes violate plot dimensions.

> Since the main focus of this group is a competition, it is asked that there are no perfect characters. Like no charrie should be good at everything, or constantly be a success throughout the training. No character will come with all of the knowledge they need to win, the whole point of the academy is to teach, learn, and grow. So, for the highest potential for growth, your character will come almost as a blank slate.

> Be kind to one another? Is that necessary? I'm not sure. We are all pretty seasoned here, I think we know what's okay and what is not.

> If you spam RP threads, it will be deleted, so just... reserve yourself to coffee shop threads.

> There will be competitions hosted by the Academy to sort of thin out the herd, so to say? No one will be kicked out of the academy, since all can participate in the Gauntlet, but these statistics to show people's training scores will be posted in the Records folder. These records are posted with the mindset that your character is also being given this knowledge, to know their rank and so forth. Though the ranking of the Academy has no affect on the Gauntlet itself, it is thought to give pupils incentive to their strengths and weaknesses.

> With that in mind, make sure your charries do not miraculously know everything you know. Meaning if you read about a RP where a charries is cheating in training, your character is unable to have that information, so they should not.
