You may either save the XP, or spend it on Skills or Emphasises. You may not raise a skill above 2. You may only select skills or emphasises that you have had on screen training in, either from an event or from one of your own threads. To represent the training, you will need at least one timeslot showing a use of the skill or emphasis.
Does this apply to skills we already now about? Like if i already have stealth 1 do i need to train in a timeslot to use XP to bump it to 2?

question on taking part in special events. Doji Sakura was in a Boar timeslot thread (sneaking out and getting caught) and then in the Kitty Kitty Special Event thread. I was under the impression we could only take part in one thread per timeslot, was I incorrect in my understanding? Or is the rule waived for special events? Or does that only apply to the mandatory events?

Edit: just want to be sure I'm understanding this correctly in case I'm online to jump into future events when they're posted

Sakura and Zashi both asked and got permission since the thread was a failed escape attempt and therefore a dead thread.

So I didn't misunderstand the rules! Good! Thank you for clearing that up!

Study question: Can you only buy skills with XP that you studied in that session? If you study something in Session 1, can you wait to spend XP from Session 2 on it? Or do you need to study it again in Session 2?

All rewards from D1 and D2 are in effect. Your character sheets are not updated to show it, because it's more work than I want to do at the moment, but if you see the replies to the sheet, you will see the rewards.

If you like, please feel free to make your own character sheet you can update yourself in your personal forum.

I passed the climbing with an exceptional success (so FR added on). Can I use that to help someone else climb the wall?

Would that be like a co-op roll or do they gain the FR to use? I was hoping for an idea of how it could be used to help :D

if I receive a +1 in a skill I don't have on Day 3 <received on Day 4>
and I spend xp on the same skill on Day 3 <received on day 4>
Does it cost 1 xp or 2 xp?

XP expenditures are the last thing to take effect, so if you got a reward, it will increase the cost.

The events in the "future" forums, are the students aware those are the classes they'll be taking and able to try and prepare for them early, or is their known schedule just the 'hours of the day' one we have for reference?

Can we get a list of the various military ranks and their rough American equivalent?
