Games F.A.Q.

Do my threads have to be completed for the points to count?

We strongly encourage players to complete threads when they claim points. However, we understand that sometimes other roleplayers are sometimes unreliable. We judge on a case-by-case basis.

As long as there is clear evidence of in character activities, we will still award points. If you aren't sure whether you should be adding points for a thread, please contact a leader and we'll evaluate the situation.

Do I have to complete all of the monthly prompts to gain points?

No! Each thread prompt you complete is worth ten points. The bonus points are just that -- a bonus. :) If you don't finish, you can absolutely still submit two of three prompts for twenty points, or one of three prompts for ten points.

When should I submit my thread prompts for a particular month?

Please submit them as close to the end of the month as you possibly can. We understand that not all threads can be completed in a month, and that's fine, but we may or may not remember thread prompts from six or seven months ago! :P If the thread is still underway, you will still be awarded points for that thread (assuming it has progressed at least partway into doing things relevant to the thread prompt).

How often should I submit/how should I keep track of my points?

You really have two options here. You can either keep a tally of the threads yourself, kept in the Profiles and Archives Forum.

Please see the current game tally for examples -- there are several members who opt to do this, and you can check out their tables to see how they do it (but remember it's courteous to ask before you lift a lot of code off of someone).

The second option is that you can occasionally send a leader a Private Message with your points to be added.

There are generally two ways people submit things via PM. They either wait for a thread to be closed and submit points with a "grand total" of points to be added from that thread, generally submitting 2-3 threads at once.

The second way is that people submit individual posts with the word counts for each attached, and the points separated into their appropriate categories (e.g., 300+ word posts, 500+ word posts, Immunes rank skills). You can grab a link to your individual post by hitting the Posted button, if you didn't know how to do that before. Generally, people will submit these on a monthly basis or when they've accumulated a lot of points.

There are some things that are more “special,” like for example when you earn a Legionnaire Crown. Generally, these things are added to your point total manually when you receive them, as they are specially requested and approved by the leadership. There is no need to keep an extra note about these special submissions unless you want to for your own records. :)

Please do not try to submit game points via IM ever, please.
