Since there seems to be an abundance of Acolytes without masters, and people are looking for training threads, I'll be putting up threads for specific Force Powers and Lightsaber Forms. They'll be labeled as an open training thread with the main theme of the thread in the title. Any are welcome to join, but please keep in mind, the thread has an objective, so lets stay on topic and actually RP out trying, learning, practicing, etc. Consensual sparring is encouraged. There will be NO official posting order, but I'll be sure to reply to any posts made. If you want to get thread credit and add the force powers (or improved ranks) to your profile, join in and take part. Other than that, even after a group of members have finished all the abilities they desire to learn in the thread, I'll be keeping the threads open and listed here for others to join. This can be used as a guideline of how Force powers are incorporated with each other, give a better feeling for how to coordinate attacks in RPs, or gain a general understanding of each of the techniques. I'll periodically update this post with new threads.

UPDATE: Upon becoming Marauder, I'm going to continue looking up useful abilities and forms and incorporate them into several more threads. Anyone that wants to RP out any of the different styles of Force, like Telekinesis, or Defense, doesn't have to join them all, by the way. Just figured it would be cool to RP out learning what has to do with what combinations and I guess if new people (to RP in general, not just to SWRP), wanted to learn how to incorporate stuff with better description.

UPDATE: Upon becoming a Sith Master, I've decided that I'm going to incorporate an advanced section of the Designated Training Threads. I'm going to continue posting in them indefinitely for any future members that are interested, but there will be a section of threads restricted to a standard of IC skill. These will be labeled as {ASK}, but Crusaders and above may join as they wish. Acolytes may request to join through sending me a Private Message or Visitor Message, but keep in mind that if it's nearly a brand new character, I may advise you to take part in other threads first.

UPDATE: Decided against doing certain threads for certain ranks. If anyone is interested, anyone can join. Not going to segregate it into classes and levels of experience. All threads will be held open indefinitely.

UPDATE: I have recently been appointed as Third Seat to the Sith Imperium, and will be making the Designated Training Threads official classes for all members. Originally, I'd been posting with my character Darth Umbra, but he's out of the picture now. Instead, I'll be continuing with my Sith Master, Oonoo, and keeping up with the threads. Furthermore, I would like to fully encourage others to join these threads to further their training as a crusader (or higher), assist in teaching, or even observe.


Key:
Red = These abilities have been learned in previous training threads, but are related to the other abilities in the thread it's listed under. They will not be as detailed in depth, but will be mentioned and used well enough for a demonstration to start off other players to self-learn.

1. Force Grip
2. Force Pull
3. Push Push

This section is a list of Force Powers that I have an interest in including in a future Designated Training Thread, but haven't sorted it out to a 'school' of abilities. I'm keeping them here so I don't forget, but also so I can move them around until I get enough to start up a new thread. Once I designate a certain number of abilities to a new thread, I will incorporate abilities taught in past threads as well, numbered in red to signify that they've already been covered, but will be covered again for those who don't know it. This list can be expanded upon per requests.

Abilities bunched together with numbers are sorted to be put into a future Designated Training Thread.
Abilities bunched together with a hyphen are unsorted powers yet to be assigned to a Designated Training Thread.

1. Force Shock
2. Force Lightning

I haven't been contacted about this, so if there's any administrative aid with Acolytes and such that I can offer I'm happy to.

I attempted to contact Malon (since he's put up most of the guideline threads) but got no response and no response to request thread for holocrons, but there is a large abundance of acolytes in comparison to marauders, so it's quite understandable, lol. I just figured that since there are a bunch of active acolytes, I'd be willing to host a few coordinated threads for designated Force powers. A different thread for each section of Force powers for different interests.

Not going to have this as a sign up thread, but this can be an OOC thread for the links of training threads above if people wan. Like I said, I'll gradually edit the first post and update it with new threads that I start up. If people would like, I can put up Prestige or mission threads. Post any requests here and I'll see what I can do.

Feel free to join =)

NOTE: Also, along with posting updates for new threads, this will also serve as an ooc thread, if needed.

This looks interesting, and there is some stuff in here my character would benefit from. I do have a question though, is it allowed for me to have my character study in these open threads even though he has a master?

Oh, of course. I originally started these threads as open group training threads for all acolytes. Even though I'm now a Marauder, I've decided to continue hosting these classes, as a general teaching position. None of you need to consider me as a teacher-student thing, but you may include it in your profile as teachings from me if you wish.

Other than that, I also take requests for certain schools of abilities if you'd like them. Just list it in a post and I'll sort them accordingly with new threads.

EDIT: I've actually completed a number of these threads for myself, but I'd gladly continue posting in them for others that join, posting with demonstrations and guidance to assist in others learning them :D

I'm currently still doing The Force, Basic Necessities

Updated and revised the introductory text along with an update upon being promoted to Sith Master. Hope you're all looking forward to the future threads.

UPDATE: While this happened a few weeks ago, the last post of a thread is being postponed in order to keep the site's timeline in a relatively intact. Unfortunately, Darth Umbra has met his demise, at the hands of Darth Azrael, the Warmaster of the Sith Order. Due to his own foolishness in combat, and underestimation of his opponents capabilities, he lost a duel before the council of Sith Lords, and deemed to be executed for his weakness. The Sith Lords are not as forgiving as most, and will only hold the highest among them.

Ok, IC summary finished, but here's the reason for the update. Since Ruthric Segra will no longer be around to continue posting in the Designated Training Threads, I'll be continuing these open classes with my Sith Master, Oonoo.

The reason the thread of Ruthric's death has been postponed is so the battle of Saleucami can be completed without any hassle of who's alive and who's not.

These threads are still indefinitely open and will remain so for anyone that wants to join (training credit, social communication of techniques and abilities, guest appearances of assisting teaching, etc).

Although Zsan has a master, one can never learn too much. I would enjoy taking part in this.

Um, this stuff is from a year or some two ago, so I'm gonna say you're gonna have to get someone to make another one.
