actually the exams are different each your. Meaning the challenges wont be the same. Otherwise students that made past attempts would know what to expect.

Besides if we started at the finals the RP would be short.

very true.

@ IHMN's previous statement about my char: awww thanks sweety! *hug*

hmm, btw, when are we getting started?

I don't want to get into an arguement, but I feel I should defend my statment. Yes Gaara's sand was automatic, but when he encased himself in the sphere while fighting Sasuke, and used the sand spikes to attack whenever Sasuke got close, that was a specific technique, and he was prefoming hand seals the majority of the time he was in that sphere.

Anyway, I've caused enough trouble, so feel free to ignore this if you continue to disagree.

The exam does include a written test, a scavenger hunt/race, and a bit of one on one sparring. However, the details of each varies greatly.

Also, I edited my charachter so that he has no ninjutsu. Since he has Kai (a chuunin level genjutsu), he should be a Tai/Gen specialist or a Gen specialist, but certainly not a jack of all trades like I had him. So, check him out and see if you think trading Grand Fireball (a high genin technique) for the Clone Technique (an academy technique) would my character better. So, now my charachter is a Tai specialists with a Gen advantage.

Just posting to let you know I'm still alive and ready to go anytime. :)

Other than that I figure that we're going to have some missions to do after the exams, a least, those of us who survive. *cue evil laughter*

ok ok lets stop harrasing him.

Now will we make a new thread for discussions. I think we should since this one is getting full

Started the RP. Decided to start by getting the passes, and the exam will start in two days.

Also, Gaara did use a hand seal to make the sphere of sand. And he did keep his hands in that same seal the entire time. I don't think he has to however, since when Sasuke hit him with the Chidori, his hands were out and not in any seal, yet the sphere was still up. Also, most of the time he was using other ninjutsus, or just being insane and talking to his mom.

aren't these supposed to be 3 man cells?

Well, in this RP, it's four people.

this would get interesting.....

IHMN, has anybody else in our team replied as of yet? I'm thinking about my char going off to train a bit after getting th epass.
