Combat Training?

By David on 04/09/2009
So I was thinking of a new way to motivate people to train.

What if we did a thing like having each week, a random order of combat skills to train each day.

So we've got these skills:

- Attack
- Strength
- Defense
- Magic
- Range
- Prayer
- Summoning

Each day of the week, we have a poll or we just choose randomly a skill for that day.

So it would be like this:

On Monday, everyone trains Attack.
On Tuesday, everyone trains Strength.
On Wednesday, everyone trains Defense.
On Thursday, everyone trains Magic.
On Friday, everyone trains Ranged.
On Saturday, everyone trains Prayer.
On Sunday, everyone trains Summoning.

It's sort of like a mini CSoTW.

I think it would be effective because it takes away some of the boredom that comes with training the same skill all the time.

What I can see this doing is taking away from the original CSoTW, but maybe it would be good to run this while CSoTW is not being run?

Then we can swap them in and out so that the clan doesn't get bored using one scheme all the time.

It revitalizes everyone because it can have that "new" effect when it's just something different.

We can have tiers for experience and attendance points and all that good stuff as well, but I'd first like to know how people think about the idea and if you think it'd work.

Ok well I suggest we don't run this and CSotW at the same time obviously, so alternating would be a good idea.
I like it... although there's one major problem.... that's 7 x the amount of work that has to be done for starting + ending CSotW.. it's just too much for anyone to do neko2.gif

Going to the highscores once when you wake up, and then again the next day isn't THAT hard.

I'd be more than willing to do it, and besides. It's things like this that force us to have multiple Event Leaders. One day I do it, next day Vephy can do it, then you can do it one day. Then we repeat the cycle, this way no one person is doing all the work.

I was thinking, we COULD operate this at the same time as CSoTW because then we'd be giving all the members multiple options of training for WG. If they want to be more consistent, or if they're maxed then using all styles might appeal more to them.

I guess it could work.... but do you really think there are enough people interested for a big scheme like this?
Attendance for CSotW and SotW has been dropping recently.

By David on 05/09/2009
It's worth a shot?

It's really not THAT big of a scheme. It's pretty much like a 24 CSoTW.

IF we get shit signups for it, then we scrap it. If not, then we keep it.

This clan has a tendency to stop doing what we do often. SoTW and CSoTW have been around for a long ass time now...we need something new to spice things up.

For the 1 thousandth billionth time. Bring back OPH...it worked miricles...anyone back in that time, will remember that our combat average grew...DRAMATICALLY!

Well, this may be all fine and good, but honestly, clan members don't and can't train constantly at a high rate. A program like OPH may get members enthused, and people will start training quickly, putting their spare time into it, but after a while, it just gets boring no matter how many skills you train or how much incentive you add to it.

And if you simply create a new program every couple weeks, it may work fine for the first two or three iterations, but after a while, attendance will slack off.

Really, while group training is well and good, it cannot be done constantly. I suggest starting one of these perhaps every month or two, get people to train really hard for a week or two, then give them time off to recover. You will get more people interested, as its a unique thing, not a boring weekly slog task.
