POWER-UP SYSTEM
In the interests of leveling out the characters’ power levels and rewarding activity, we are now instituting a system of powering-up and earning new attacks for your character! The details follow:
1. When your character is initially awakened, they have access to two attacks. These are indicated by the (Default) notifier at the end of an attack description.
2. You earn more attacks through accumulating “Points”. Every post you make, OOC and IC, translates to a single point in the power-up system. So if you’ve made 27 posts on Lunacy Fringe, you have $27 with which to earn more attacks!
3. Your points are cumulative, which means that once you’ve earned your 50 point attack, you only have 50 points left to earn before you get your 100 points attack. In other words, at 500 points you’ll have maxed out your character’s basic form!
4. “Basic Form” does mean that you will, later, be able to earn upgrades to higher levels--such as Super Sailor, or Heavenly General--with stronger powers! But these will be earned through plots and participation in the site, not through constant posting.
5. Civilians will have access to a “Points Shop” which is still in progress--but the points system will totally benefit them too, so never you fear, civilian players. They will be awesome too. =) However, their rewards are not cumulative--if you have 267 monies, and you buy a 200 point reward, you will lose those 200 points. This is because their rewards are out-of-character and more concrete! Powered characters can also buy from the points shop, if they so desire.
6. To redeem your points, post in the proper thread stating what you're claiming--for instance, if Queen Beryl had 50 points and wanted to cash in on her first skill, she would post in the Dark Kingdom shop saying "I have fifty points--I'd like my character to learn her first skill now!" An admin will then note the request and modify the listing.
