How this works
If you're brand new to the forum, you automatically get 10 points to spend - that's enough for you to get a canon character and to be considered active for your first week.Because the forum is new, the first 100 new players get 20 points to spend.Because the forum is brand, spanking new and I love you guys, the first 25 new players get 30 points to spend.- You earn 1 point for each roleplaying post in the IC area that is either the start of a new thread or reply to someone else (meaning that it's not a reply to the same character or another character played by you) and that is over 400 words long.
- I attempt to update this list as I can, especially trying to get it done on Saturday evening/Sunday morning, but regardless of when the update happens I deduct 2 points at 12:01 AM on Sundays, Mountain Time (because that's my time zone). This helps balance out 'what you have done' vs. 'what have you done lately'.
- If you ever have any questions about your points total, I keep excessively detailed notes so let me know and I can give you a breakdown for why you have the number of points you have.
- If you have multiple characters then you're allowed to pool the points of multiple characters together to buy something, even if you're buying something for a specific character - just let me know how many of whose points you want to use for what when you're spending the points.
- All 'sales' are final, no refunds unless noted.
- If you need to leave the forum, let us know - if you have more than 10 points when you leave (added up between all of your characters if you have more than one) I'll keep a record of that and save them for you for you to use if you happen to return. If you have less than 10 points you can have the same 10 points that the new people get when you return.
Things you can buy with your points
- 4 points* = For each NPC minion/assistant/follower/etc. of your character who is important enough to have a name, backstory, personality, and/or other accoutrements of a real character.
- 4 points* = For each 'upgrade' to the numbers of your unimportant NPC minions/assistants/followers/etc.:
- Level 0 = None
- Level 1 = Could fit all of them in a van - ~15 or less
- Level 2 = Now you need a bus - ~60 or less
- Level 3 = They fit in a small theater - ~250 or less
- Level 4 = It's like they're everywhere... - More than ~250
- 8 points = New canon character who isn't considered "popular"
- 8 points* = Adding an alternate identity or superpowers to an already existing character who doesn't already have it
- 10 points = New original character without a secret identity or superpowers
- 16 points = New canon character who is "popular", except Batman
- 18 points = New original character with an alternate identity OR superpowers
- 24 points = Batman
- 26 points = New original character with an alternate identity AND superpowers
* This is free for a canon character if it's canon that they should have it. It's considered canon if they always have it, or have it continuously for quite a long period of time including the current part of the timeline, but not if they got it just that one time for that one storyline and never again. These things can also be refunded if lost somehow.
