A couple of changes that you should all be aware of:

 

As reflected on the Black Tower Information Site,

along with getting elements to the proper levels,

 

Before being promoted to Soldier ALL Civilians need to take the One Power introductory course!

Before being promoted to Dedicated ALL Soldiers need to participate in AT LEAST TWO One Power battles.

Before being promoted to Asha'man ALL Dedicated need to have won AT LEAST TWO One Power battles.

 

Also, for One Power Battles, the points are now: 10 for the winner, 5 for the loser.

 

 

EDIT: Sign ups for the Introductory Course in Channeling Saidin are now up in the Farmhouse.

This rule does not affect those already Promoted before its existence, only those Promoted afterward.

 

You are still perfectly welcome to participate in the next class however.

2 things

 

1 how does it work if u skip lvls? for example straight from soldier to ashaman?

 

2 im not a huge fan of being told i HAVE to do certain things. Some people have no interest in some things. I cant say im hugely interested in the OP battles actually. This means if i dont do something im not interested in then i cant advance despite being pretty active and earning the needed points.

 

How exactly is that fair?

 

Also if ppl are made to do it then they will probably do a halfassed job of it ruining it for someone else.

The Staff discussed this addition of the rules for a long time before actually deciding to put it into effect.

 

It is designed to give a little more structure to the Black Tower, while keeping a more free environment as well.

 

None of the requirements are overly hard. The One Power class is a something that is meant to be fun, and also serves as an introduction to spending points, and figuring out how the levels and elements work both in a fictional and literal use for the site.

 

As far as One Power battles go, we have long desired to put a bigger focus on them in the Black Tower. In all, you only have to participate in four battles (assuming you win at least two of those), which especially as a participation (and possibly win) is merited just by signing up to learn how to do a One Power battle.

 

While I understand that One Power battles might not be your thing, it is only a very minor requirement that is meant to go along with the main focus of being active and earning enough points to get your levels where they need to be for Promotion.

 

If after a trial run, we find these new stipulations aren't working well, then we may indeed change them. For now, however, I'd ask you to bear with us, as we only implemented these requirements because we believe they will have a positive effect on the Black Tower.

 

Edit: It would make skipping levels a bit harder, unless someone meets all the requirements before spending the points to be Promoted, which is possible, though would be difficult. I honestly don't think that maybe taking a little bit longer to be Promoted is a bad thing. It's the journey that makes something great, not necessarily the destination.

Besides ... The longer you are not an Asha'man - the longer I can give you points Dicey. I would also be willing to take you through a OP battle and would adjust my stats so they are not stupidly above yours :) They are a lot of fun.

 

Now if Talm would just get the Rollers working on mobile again that would be awesome. They just auto divert me to google at the moment and that is limiting my chances to play as I need to use the Laptop. :)
