Not sure we need a random disincentive to Studying.

I think that the risk of a Disruptive student is already an effectively random disincentive to studying.

If Brendan doesn’t mind the extra work, I think this could be exciting.

Right now, it’s not a risk but a certainty. Plus, as long as Thane Q keeps this up - posting at the last moment - we can’t get our grades up until Advanced Lessons are instated. True, he’ll have to choose a class to disrupt if “Remain Seated” passes - unless he just disrupts them as soon as he’s free. True, if he gets grudges against every teacher he won’t be able to do a thing. Still, I think disrupting a lesson overpowers studying it right now. If you can do it at the last minute - and not anyone can wait for you to do it so to post themselves - you can effectively keep everyone’s grades down, defeating the purpose of studying in the first place.

TL;DR: I think studying is hard enough as it is, so =P

  And if a student that is already a ghost studies and an accident happens, that accident might give him his body back!

Try adding a level of lessons: “Basic”, “Intermediate”, “Advanced”, and “Dangerous”. Dangerous lessons can’t be disrupted, can’t be Brown Nosed, and advance your grade by two, but you risk your life. =P

I see what you guys are saying about there being little incentive to study. Perhaps if this does not pass I will have another go at it, with accidents being associated with those who disrupt rather than those who study. I just want more ways to become a zombie :)

Disruption does need to be nerfed, but as much as I like accidents and student death, I don’t particularly want them connected to studiousness.

“as much as I like accidents and student death”, says the Headmaster. Kinda makes me wonder if the Lord Marvolo proposal passed after all… =P
