Here's the XP system that will be used in the game:<br/><br/>There are two kinds of threads in this game: personal threads, and main threads.<br/><br/><strong>Main Threads</strong>are made by the GM of the game, and are tracked for XP purposes.  They are for the primary action of the game, preferrably the vital stuff.<br/><br/><strong>Personal Threads</strong>are made by players and tagged with the game name.  They are for sex scenes, debates, character development, origin stories...  etc.  Keeping a personal thread going is worth additional xp, and is intended to keep the main threads from getting spammed by scenes which only involve one or two characters.<br/><br/><br/>XP is distrubuted on a weekly basis, though I'll decide later what day XP gets distributed on.<br/><br/>Here's what determines how much xp you get:<br/><br/>Base Award: 0.5 xp   (you get half an xp if you're in the game, no matter what.)<br/><br/>First Post Award: 0.5 xp (this is for your first post of the week)<br/><br/>Posting Award: 0.1 xp per post in a main thread, up to 10 posts<br/><br/>Overpost Penalty: -0.1 per post over 10 in a main thread for the week.  (this is to prevent spam, again.  It may be waived at some times)<br/><br/>Ten posts in a personal thread: 1xp  (ten substantial posts in your personal thread for the week.  Your posts in personal threads will be counted between weeks, so don't stress out if you get 9 posts one week)<br/><br/>Roleplaying Awards: up to 3xp<br/><br/>Scene MVP Award: 0.5xp   (Awarded if your character's performance during a scene is exceptional, while not stealing the spotlight)<br/><br/>Session Award: 2xp   (Awarded if the GM declares a session break during the week.  This will occur after climactic moments.)<br/><br/>Story Award: 5xp  (Awarded when the party completes a story.  This will typically happen after 2-4 session breaks.)<br/><br/>Recruitment Award: 3xp (Awarded if you get another user on elliquiy to join the game, usually as a supporting character)<br/><br/>Mechanical Assistance Award: 2xp (Awarded for helping another player create a character or teach important mechanics to other players)<br/><br/>Absence Award: 1xp (Awarded for posting in the OOC thread about an absence lasting more than three days.)<br/><br/>Substitute ST Award: 3xp-10xp  (Awarded for acting as a substitute ST)<br/><br/>Motivation Award: 25xp (Awarded if your character acheives his motivation)<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>The training time rules will be fully enforced.  In addition to your xp awards, I'll keep track of how much training time you've got accumulated.  Training time will be awarded based on story factors, and you'll get plenty.  I'm not going to be too stingy with training time, so you'll be able to stockpile and spend it like xp.<br/><br/>
