Well, I did not like to have to pick one or the other.

Doing both slowly in the end I think is a waste of effectiveness.

BUT, if there was a way to buy an energy drink or something, wich would give us access to more school/skill time so we can do 8 hours in each, that'd be great.

Like the orange sym pack or something, but a different one.

i think it would be more appropriate if it was school v work as opposed to school v skills.

seems like it's more of an even trade off.

this def makes more sense to me.

All players finishing their Community College courses will now see a list of new courses to enroll in (well initially 1 course which is a prerequisite for everything else). During a normal day, players can study 8 hours for skills and ALU classes combined. The initial courses available are intended to help those who just finished their Community College stat increases. Since it's been ages since we've added anything to schools, the initial classes will seem below some. Finishing the initial 4 courses will open the doors for more classes down the road. Everyone must begin with the same course. "Grades" listed in skills are known as your "Confidence" for schooling, dictating how confident you feel you are in taking tests. Testing is only available on Wednesdays for ALU.

Nice addition but it looks like skills OR study.

Am I reading it right?

Primarlily it all depeneds on the stats and career rating
my advice is to take collage before study because the fact it takes x amount of days to complete therefore you will have the rest of x days not to worry wich to decide if you are trying to get your intel staus increased i highly recommend the school before study.
this is my take on it.

*ponders*

The thing is,...12 hours work + 8 hours skill training or education already = 20 hours. Given that a day has 24 hours that leaves precisely 4 hours for such minor things as eating, going to the washroom, crimes and an exotic thing called sleep. Realistically, I doubt there's anyway our characters would maintain a schedule like that for long without already being stimmed out to the gills! ^_^;

I get your point, but how many times do you get near death in a day, go to the hosp, stim out and go back in?

Far from realistic, unless you're that guy

Condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip one on when you meet a stranger. You dance all night... then you throw it away. The condom, I mean, not the stranger.
