I usually pair apprentices during missions. But for your actual training thread I prefer to keep everyone separate so each can go at their own pace and concentrate on what they personally want to learn.
its in the signature of all my posts, that's how I reach it when I need to make changes, but here it is anyways. Its really easy to navigate the site if you set up your settings on the subscribed threads. then just refresh the subscribed thread page to find out what's been updated.
yes and no. it is build and play, but you need to go through faction approval, then training. During the training they monitor you to make sure your not a negative influence on the site. That done they set you loose on the universe. I took me 5 monthes to get my dark jedi to knight level. but if you train with me, I'd say 2 weeks to a month. It took me so long cause my master lived in holland and was awake when i was asleep. Its a pain at the begining, but you get used to it with time and it quickly grows on you. Its like the bleach rp, but more secure, and even more uptight.
your character stll hasn't been approved for his various organizations, after that, maybe. but the jungle planet thread is just a regular hike in the wilderness for a couple of jedi. You'll probably interact with katarn the most, not nuka. she's... special.
