Except that at the end of a workout, you're tired. So while the work actually isn't as hard as the intense period stuff, it feels like it's still an intense workout to your body. Hence why the cost is the same. Plus the more fit you are, the harder you have to work to improve at the same rate (hence why [TRAIN] at higher ranks costs more stamina).


Right but after one works out do you feel the effects right away? I mean I like to consider myself pretty active and athletic considering I workout at least everyday and am a college athlete... And I personally don't feel the effects of a workout until quite sometime after (especially intense ones) usually right after an intense workout I feel pretty excited, ready to go, almost as though I want to work out more (due to the varying endorphins and what not that are released during the span of the workout). It's not until several hours later, even the next day that I feel the tired and exhausted feeling that you're describing. And while I agree with you that it would require more work to get the next level as I get increasingly more fit, staying at the rank of genin it makes sense at least to me that it would be a gradually less costly workout. It seems like the system should work like this... you set a goal to reach a certain physical level (for example increase speed one rank) and then you set a physical regiment to reach that level, as you get closer to your goal your regiment should feel consecutively easier (how you know you're gettin closer to the that level) it's not like my rpc is just gonna be like "yep I'm there" even though that is how I have it worded since the guild doesn't have the system set up this way he should realize he is there when his physical workout gets easy. So by the time he reaches chuunin rank and can retrain a stat it makes sense his physical regiment will need to be harder... because he will be in better shape, but until he reaches a new rank either shinobi wise or train wise he should be in the same shape the whole time until he starts improving during his workout meaning his workout should get progressively easier.

That would be correct, assuming the same exact workout is done each time. But it's not: each workout is more intense than the last.

Take, for example, if your character was weight lifting to gain a rank in strength. So you RP your character bench pressing 150 lbs until he gets his form down. 15 posts later, he has his form down and it's been a few workouts, so he ups it to 175 pounds, but can't get as many reps in because it's more weight. Once he gets the reps back up to where he used to be able to do the 150, yes, lifting the 150 would be easier than it was before. But he isn't working out with 150 anymore. Now he's doing 175, which takes just as much effort as 150 used to. So ya, if all your character did was show up and lift 150 lbs ten times every day for 50 days, lifting 150 pounds would become easier. But at that rate, you would plateau very early on and not gain much strength at all, hence why you have to increase reps or weight to make the workout more intense and, thus, become much stronger with time (enough to justify a rank increase in strength).

And as someone who spent 12 years playing football and 3 years weight lifting as a Center for the sport (first three years of highschool), I too understand what a workout is like. But, as you can tell, the 50 posts shouldn't be 1 workout. We're talking about a workout regime, where the exercises and training you do have to become more difficult with time in order to justify the stat increases.

I dunno I suppose... it just seems that doing a speed increase workout (something that I would do as playing lacrosse midfield you want to get faster and more agile) as opposed to a strength based workout (where you get bigger and stronger) the workouts would differ slightly, I see where you're coming from were I training strength or toughness or endurance, but I am holding to my claim when it comes to speed training. So i suppose agree to disagree ^^ either way if I get assigned a sensei I will edit it and only do 5 posts worth leaving him with roughly 65% of his stamina (having endurance as a tertiary attribute I think he could manage a days worth of training under such circumstances) and proceed with the training under those conditions.

Edit: besides I was informed I am learning ninjutsu at the moment, no taijutsu, so no worries, my chakra reserves are at full ^^

If a mod isn't to busy I would appreciate someone accepting my friend Sanari Yanaka into the guild... she is a pretty solid rper and is being a tad bit impatient due to her excitement to begin sweatdrop

She never sent me a PM with the proper application, but whatever... I suppose she waited long enough.

We don't take kindly to shy people. We take shyness as a personal challenge.

So...it's probably already been asked, but...how'd Irene treat you guys? Not you Despair...I don't want to hear about your dry season in the midwest -_-

I have no idea, and hawhaw, I'm in Illinois now. Irene didn't do anything besides flood apparently, so it should be all good.

Augh, sorry for disappearing for a long time. I've been incredibly busy in other guilds and this is my first break in a while. Has the Shihouin clan been revamped yet?

That's two for Illinois.
