How points are awarded
The following is a
rough outline of how points are awarded. The CO may award extra points
at his discretion for outstanding posts. Points are awarded based
on content and length. Content includes posts having to do with
the main story line, sub-plots, personal or duty logs, social affairs,
etc. (Interpretation of 'quality posts' is up to the CO.)

Joint Posts - the number of 'page downs' are divided by the number
of people involved, and the points handed out accordingly. Eg.
9 'page downs' divided by 3 players involved would give them 10-15
points each, depending on the quality.

For each week that a
character has not made a single post, it will receive a minus point (eg.
-1). When the minus points reaches -4, that
character will either
become an NPC, be transferred or killed off, and the player will be
removed from the mailing list. If a character has minus points, each
post will give a positive point. Eg. if the character is on -3
points, then 2 posts in the following week will reduce it to -1, and so
on.
This will be one
of the
incentives to post (the others being experience points towards
promotions, as well as the enjoyment of playing your character). If
anyone fails to post after 4 subsequent weeks, it will be assumed (and
acted upon) that the player does not wish to play any more.
The only exceptions
will be
written requests for a Leave Of Absence (LOA). This will give you
positive points equal to the number of weeks you have requested a LOA. Once
they are gone, it will go into the minus points unless postings are
made or an extended LOA is requested.
Promotions
Promotions are handled
on a point system. Each time you post or contribute to a story line you
get points. Each week these points are totalled and added to your total
and this will be posted on the list as well as on a page at the site
which will be updated weekly. Below is a list of how many points are
rewarded for various actions and a list of ranks and how many points are
required to be promoted to those ranks. For example when a Lt. (JG)
reached 800 points he/she will be promoted to full Lt. It should be
noted that a post must be of around 200 words or more to qualify for
ranking points.
