Message: <blockquote data-quote="El Jefe" data-source="post: 2833981" data-attributes="member: 19990">Maximum Occupency: I think we should have a "maximum designed occupancy" set by the UN, meaning that the place is designed for training scenarios of no more than X occupants.  Of course, under special circumstances, the actual limit of how many bodies can cram in there should be much higher.Opponents: I see this heading very strongly in the direction of robotic opponents, with PC vs. PC in both canned scenarios ("Ok, Magnetron, in this exercise, you'll be playing the part of Grimlock.  Use this device to simulate his disintegrator ray...").  Also PC vs. PC to hash out intra-team conflicts, etc.Damage: Oh, definitely real (but non-lethal) damage, normal healing.  Lethal damage allowed in the "Training Room Problem" scenarios (and I agree with Bront, these need to be limited).  Healing shouldn't be a problem, given the passage of time...if someone completes a scenario in the Training Room, then enough game time should pass in the Ready Room before their next adventure to heal them up completely.  If an adventure starts in the Training Room and continues outside of it ("No wonder Superspinner was hurt...one of Evilor's henchmen tampered with that training robot...let's go get him!"), then the GM controls the amount of healing between the training room and the rest of the adventure.Recruiting:   Generally, no.  Any significant training exercise is a mini-adventure in itself, or part of a larger adventure.  We might make an exception for PC-initiated training...that's something to talk about.Judging: I agree with Bront on this one.Threads: I agree with Bront, this should be a single thread.  HOWEVER, it might be that more than one activity could be going on in there at once.  We might consider a second thread for that.Adventures: I think we should allow adventures to happen patially or completely in the Training Room, but there should be a clear understanding that adventure proposals requiring the use of the Training Room will receive extra scrutiny from the adventure judges.  Meaning, you might be required to remove the Traning Room scenes from your adventure, or that it will be disapproved completely just to keep the Training Room from being overused, or maybe there'll be a limit of X number of adventures taking place in the Training Room per year.Experience/PP awards:If a GM runs a scenario in the Training Room, then that GM should be able to award experience.  Simple PC vs. PC stuff should award NO experience, no matter how strenuous it gets.Overall: If we find there is too much PC vs. PC stuff for our tastes, we can always require PC's to reserve a slot in the Training Room...meaning, there's a sign-up sheet managed by some UN flunky.</blockquote>
