We're pleased to introduce to you a new experimental feature which I've always wanted to try out.
RP Missions
Ranked ninja (Chunin and above) are now able to run RP Missions for other players in their village. RP Missions are player-ran missions that reward players to role-playing. The rewards for each mission are not substantial to the point where it is unfair if you just want to play the game without RPing, but is designed to encourage players to take a break from grinding and reward them for role-playing if they're already acquainted with the magic of it. For players who don't know the magic yet, it provides an incentive for them to give it a try. How does it work?
All players can take RP Missions from the 2nd NPC at the Mission Assignment Desk (Koda for Leaf / Basho for Sand)
You can take RP Missions at Levels 12, 17, 22 and 27. Each of which is a tier higher than the next.
Ranked ninja (Chunin and Above) will announce their availability for an RP Mission in village chat.
Ninja who want to attempt an RP Mission should form a team of 3 and find a Ranked ninja (Chunin and above) to be their team leader and host their RP Mission.
The Ranked ninja will assign an appropriate task, training or RP scenario which should take estimatedly 30 minutes, or longer (with prior notice)
On completing the task, they will be handed RP Tokens to claim their rewards from the Mission Assignment Desk.
Ninja are encouraged to write their experiences in the village board to thank their team leader for RPing with them.
Rules & Regulations
Players are not entitled to RP Missions, and ranked ninjas may choose to deny them at any time. If they want to RP, ranked ninja can announce that they have free time to take a team for an RP Mission.
Ranked ninja are trusted to be fair and are encouraged to be lenient with the reward.
More rules and regulations are explained in-game Ninja wanting to attempt an RP Mission will be explained the rules by the Mission Assignment Desk. Ranked ninja are explained the rules in the Jonin Standby Station.
Players are allowed to participate in RP Missions for fun if the ranked ninja hosting it needs additional Genin.
Conclusion
Overall, this system is implemented to put our ranking system to work and establishing a use for it. It provides a self-less but respectable benefit to gaining Chunin rank, giving the players who attain this rank a responsibility (as it rightfully should) and not an unfair advantage. It empowers them, and makes their existence beneficial to the village and encourages roleplaying, to prepare new ninja for big RP events like the Chunin exam.
I hope you all share the vision!

Rory
