A Naruto Mook Quest [The Gamer/Naruto]

That is false. I was excluding leaf sticking from my math. Last turn we focused on ninjutsu and got 97 skill levels total. if you exclude leaf sticking that is 54.
54/6 = 9.
97/6 = 16.16
If I was including the leaf sticking I would be saying we get 16x more skill levels per level not 9x.

However, ninjutsu has 51% more XP income than physical (including the +10% from weights). So when comparing taijutsu skill to physical training it would drop 9 to 5.9x, still more than the 4.5x he stated is needed for skill to overcome stat training

However, rather than pretending leaf sticking doesn't exist a more fair comparison would be to see how much we would get from a normal jutsu being trained instead. Aka, lets look and
Rather than trying to come up with math to prove something for all situations, especially since there isn't one solution for all situations, it's better to solve the current situation, because we lack important information to solve the bigger one.
True, we gain Skill Levels much faster than we do Stat Levels, and true, we are actually at a penalty for stats, that has always been the case.

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish with looking at total skill levels gained, and dividing them out among all skills. One could much easier simply compare all the levels we gained in one training session. The most at any Focus (not counting Leaf Sticking, which is leveling up crazy fast), was that 18 that once. Notice how we ALSO did a Focus Genjutsu that turn, and it only went up 7 in each skill, despite starting from 0 and should by all rights level up faster. Heck, last time we did Focus Ninjutsu, it only went up 7.

As such, barring some random whim of fate, I do not see us getting more than 10 skill levels per Focus.
according to trondason we need 19/4 = 4.75x multiplier for the skill training to be better. And he actually completely ignored the fact that taijutsu gives more than 6% per level damage, it also gives attack speed and accuracy.
I don't know why you are quoting me against myself, refering to me in the third person. And as I said, STR wouldn't be the only thing increasing. DEX and VIT would be receiving similar increases.
We won't get all those stat points in strength either. vitality is not going to really help our damage output at all (unlike accuracy).
VIT will increase our HP, allowing us to do more damage before almost dying, and CP, allowing us to fling around more spells. It will increase our damage input, more than having better throwing ability will at least, since it will stack in a fashion (more seconds equal proportionally more damage).
Yes it would. but it will NOT raise each of them by 6, nor by 4. It will raise each by 2 or maybe 3.
The ~33% was gathered from assuming a 3 point increase to our Str, 12/9. And I think it's reasonable to think that they will go up about 3, because INT and WIS did, and our Physical stats aren't under as much a penalty.
I'm still trying to determine how skills stacks against each other, but I'm partial to be the same way that stat bonus stacks, passive with passive is additive, while passive and active is multiplicative.
Alright, if that's the case, lets redo that math.
9 * (1+1.54+1.24)=34.02
13*(1+1.54+1.24) =49.14
9*(1+1.54+1.24+28*.06)=49.14
In order to make Skill Levels equal 4 STR levels, we would need 28 Skill Levels divided between the two skills, averaging 14 each. Since they add additively, it doesn't matter which gets the actual upgrades.

Hm, this tournament bit was really useful, showing us that we are actually pretty damn good in melee, skill wise. Top 8 with lesser stats and no dedicated training turn means that yes, after this three month long strech, we probably want to do This:

[] Plan Beautiful Green Beast
-[] Focus on Fitness 1
-[] Focus on Fitness 2
-[] Focus on Fitness 3
-[] Focus on Fitness 4
-[] Focus on Fitness 5
-[] Buy better weights.
-[] Buy a book on nutrition.
-[] Invite Ino to a nice BBQ place.

NON-CANON OMAKE: It's the intention that counts, right?
I don't know when is the birthday of everyone, but if you want you can make an omake for it and I will reward you guys.
I'll give it a go, it probably sucks though.

A September surprise.

Thinking Fragrance
vainly pining for Flame
Year older not Bolder


'What.' Said Ino, looking at Tetsuo. Voice flatter than an Akamichi's plate after dinner.

'Happy birthday!' Tetsuo grinned. 'I figured you liked broody emos with how you're in Sasuke's fanclub but I'm not into the cutting thing. And I don't know, or want to know how to get that kinda gear so I got you a poem. Emos write bad poetry right?'

Arching a brow, Ino continued her deadpan 'First off, Sasuke-kun is not emo.' Ticking off her fingers she continued 'He's cool, strong, cute, mysterious and his intense gaze is just so...'

"Sooo dreamy." Amy finished from behind. Sighing as she dropped down on the bench with a smile on her face.

'So no Tetsuo, he's not as you so elo-elon sarcastically put it "Emo". He's actually cool instead of pretending to be.'

'...and he doesn't need make-up." Speaking of, you look completely ridiculous Tetsuo.'

'Make-up? I didn't put any ma-oh. That reminds me 'now sporting a wry grin he continued 'you might want to avoid the second floor toilets in the near future, I think Naruto set up some exploding ink traps. Apparently I wasn't fast enough when I tried to dodge them."

200 words.

If it sucks too much? waive the reward.

What do we even have against Sasuke anyway?

The guy just wants to not have a bunch of annoying people crowding around him, and, honestly, considering the people in his class that insist on hanging around him, I don't blame him.

He's just a quiet guy that works hard. That's literally it. He's not mean or anything.

He's actually a bit of a butt. But not that much of a one, the most annoying bit is everyone fawning over him.

OOC? Ribbing him is kinda memetic and I needed a topic.

IC? His fanclub is loud, which might be annoying for us as a bystander having to be in proximity(more aggravating for him but we're a kid).

Also, I don't think Naruto particularly likes him at this point(no team 7 bonding). We might share that opinion because we're his friend.

Being Naruto's friend robs us of the right of complaining about someone else being a but.
Naruto is an entirely different kind of but though. Being Naruto's friend robs us of the right to complain about someone like Kiba. Not Sasuke.

Loud, obnoxious, annoying guy who won't shut up and act's like an idiot, perfectly fine with us, guy who literally just wants people to not mess with him and to focus on his job and his studies, total asshole.

Understood. I will remember that for the future.

----------------

An excerpt from my life, tomorrow.

King Arthur walks up to some guy studying in a library.

"Hey, you! Why you such a prick! Sitting here all quiet and stuff, advancing your career! Stop being such a jerk!"

King Arthur then smacks him in the face and sends the rest of the day complaining about that asshole.
 
I see it more as Tetsuo taking a jab at Sasuke's fan club.

As for Sasuke's himself he IS kind of an asshole, specially during his earlier years after the massacre, now he 'mellowed out' a bit and just have this unaproachable air around him.

Naruto is a different type of but. Doesn't mean he isn't a but.

Naruto is loud and obnoxious. He's the type that demands too much attention(because he is starved of it).

She returns a shy smile to you before looking back at Iruka. Perhaps you can ask her to train more with you this year? If so you need to do something nice for her, like trying to set her up with Naruto or something. She managed to tell you why she liked him after you flat out stated that the entire class knew of her crush on him, and while you're not sure if what she says is entirely accurate, you're not one to judge on her romantic life.

At least it wasn't Uchiha Sasuke, that would have sucked in your opinion.
Sasuke is a guy Tetsuo does not particularly like IC(that, or he actively dislikes his fanclub but Sasuke actively avoids friendship at this stage due to mental trauma).
Socializing with the other kids went simply enough, with a word here, a willingness to help there, a favor asked there and you managed to make at least a passing acquaintance with everyone. Hell, you talked even with Sasuke, who promptly ignored you as if you were beneath his notice. Perhaps you were, so you only shrugged and thought 'better next time'. All in all things were going well.

And Sasuke is the type that is so obsessed with his goal that he acts rudely towards anyone that does not further that goal.

He's not just sitting in a library advancing his career. He's the guy that actively snubs you. Even worse? You risk the ire of his fanclub if you call him out on being rude/anti-social.

He's no saint. Even if he isn't evil.

Shikamaru: While haning out with him we can play shōgi. He will DESTROY us, but its only when moving uphills you can reach the top. Should raise strategy and int/wis.
 
I changed the omake canonicity since as far as current Tetsuo goes, he's not one to go for the Emo joke or to needlessly antagonize someone.

Sasuke pretends Tetsuo doesn't exist, Tetsuo does mostly the same as far as the person of Sasuke goes, only acknowledging his accomplishments but ignoring the prick in question.

Fine by me. It sucked anyway(does the Naruto world even have Emos?).

Does "ignoring the prick in question" mean he actually does think of Sasuke as a prick though?

With NetTally, you can have it ignore threadmarks with Omake in it (and Omkae, as would be needed here).
oh nice, that is a neat new option. Although QM mispelled it as OMKAE so it wouldn't work. also it is a per thread setting rather than a global filter so i would have to set it again for every quest. easier to just put in the post number

I know it's mis-spelled, but you can put in personal settings so that it would ignore OMKAEs as well (as I said in the parenthesis)
