XP Awards for River of Dreams

 

XP:
Here are standard Awards you can receive.
Attendence: 1 xp
First Night: 1xp for first time you play your character. (those who played your characters for the 1st TT already received this)
Costume: voted award. At the end of the night all will vote for best costume. 1 xp. 2xp if it's a unanimous vote.
Exceptional Roleplaying: voted award. same as above.
Downtime: This encompasses any plots, actions and discussions you participate in b/tw games. Max of 1 b/tw each game. DO NOT EXPECT THIS AWARD. I will give it to whom i deem worthy of it. IF YOU ASK FOR IT, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE IT. I expect a certain amount of downtime activity and this reward is for going above and beyond that. Please don't make yourself participate in Downtime if you are only doing it to hord xp. Do it because you want to.
Backgrounds and Creative Expression: I have already given some xp for stories and I expect Neal will show me some kick ass art sooner or later that i would be glad to award xp for. However, i will allow you to earn only 2 per month for this. It's much easier for some people to crank out stories than it is for others and that's not necessarily fair. You may submit/post more than one per month but you will only receive 1 xp for the first two. I might limit this even more later if xp goes up too fast for some and not for others.
Bring a friend: 1 xp for each person that claims you brought them. Understand, it must come from THEM that you brought them. Sometimes its hazy on who led someone to a game over another and rather than someone saying "did you get my xp for bringing Mike?" I'd rather Mike say, "Tom brought me. He said to tell you that for some reason...*shrug*"
