    I want more people to play with! I'm not good enough (yet) to stand toe to toe with most of the current pvp masters, so I need more people my skill level to flag up.

    When I was collecting skulls ( https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/i-want-your-body.65827/ ) I heard from a lot of people who hadn't even dueled before that expressed an interest in trying out some pvp but were hesitent to do so because of the newness of it all.

    That's one of the reasons we are starting Blackgate Dojo in Rift's End. This will be a combination pvp bootcamp for new-to-pvp folks and a large city sized arena for practice and future tournaments.

    Why I am telling you this? Because we really would like to get some of you amazing pvpers to pop by the dojo as guest instructors and help train and get peeps comfortable with pvp. I know first hand that many of you are excellent teachers (some a bit more stabby than others :p ) and so we are asking you, our pvp community to help and share your knowledge.

    Our concept is to bring in different instructors each week for 30 min to 1 hr as well as some exhibition matches for the students because I've found watching good pvp battles to be very informative. I believe we have the budget to compensate you for your time with a COTO or a drink and dance at the Evil Eye.

    So, are you a Blackgate Sensei? If you are interested, please contact @Audacity or @Silis. If not, why? It'll be super fun and hopefully get more people flagged!

    ps Do I have your skull yet?

    -Audi

    Just calling out a few of the great pvpers who have helped me along the way but would love to hear from all of you! @Kigu Starfish (Kor) @Belgtor @Fizzlebang @Corp Por @Oba Evesor consider yourselves challenged!

    I'm always up for stuff like this.
    Right now, with so much changing it gets a bit difficult to instruct.

    Might consider doing 2 or 3 instruction classes a month and then 1 'recent changes' class after each monthly release. To go over nerfs/buffs and changes to skills.

    Kor would be great at stuff like this, having a Twitch or youtube channel helps a ton. If you can record the classes the first few times, you can just refer folks to the broadcasts.

    I can pass on one of my skulls, but I have not been playing as of late. I'm kinda waiting for the grind to be more fun/rewarding and PvP to get some love from the devs.

    Sounds great would love to get back and hang with the pvp community. It's been a little while since I've logged on so might just give me 5 minutes to get reactivated. And I'm 100% behind having a class at your dojo. Just hit me up whenever you see me online can't wait to see what everyone is bringing to the table.

    I know you've asked me a couple of times to hook up with you to do some adventuring. Definitely will need to make some time for that ;)
