Though this make training from 2 to 3 free…

It takes a train, but yes, it would be free. Training is easy at first…

It’s a pain having to do do that every day just to stay on equal footing with everyone else.  Also, it puts new players very far behind.

New players could soon catch up, as it will take us ages to advance a few points while they gain some points almost every day (on average)

Same as Hix

Sounds very tedious.

Do you have another idea on how to train attributes, Hix?

Yeah, maybe some system where everyone who does not participate in an Event is assumed to have spent that time training for other events instead.  That could also create an interesting tension:  Skipping events might increase your odds of winning other events, but if too many Olympians skip an event, medals will be awarded to our rivals.

Making it fair for new players isn’t a high priority for me, but could be achieved by changing the “new players start with 2” line to something like “new players start with (some function of the total number of medals that have been awarded)”

I have another way also: automatic increasing whenever a particularly good roll is made.

What if instead we were to give each person a certain number of “Training Points” It would, of course, take N training points to raise a stat from N to N+1.

You would daily gain training points, and then maybe like Hix suggested, also gain training points from skipping events.

That would save messy dice rolls, and the bore of needing to do something once per day.

Daily things not good.

I have to be gone one or two days a week every week, and do not get a chance to do anything those days. I really don’t feel like falling behind because of my schedule. Occasionally would work, as would every 72 hours or something similar.

CoV. Will propose another option.
