Just to be clear.

You gain xp by playing. There will be no weekly doll out just for having a character.

Forum scenes will award 1-3 XP depending on what is accomplished.
Casual chit-chat will get you XP just not as much as following a story hook or accomplishing something.

Live group scenes will garner 1-4 XP for all participants. Even if your character mostly observes you will still get something.

Private scenes (such as on Aim, in the chatbox randomly or where ever else) will garner 1-3 XP as long as a copy of the scene is posted on the forum for people (and me) to read. (See: Violence is my Job, in the slums for en example of this.)

Also, i've decided Sunday will be XP day.

I will award XP for the following:

1) Finished (i.e. Closed) scenes.

2) Ongoing scenes that are of particular merit (my discretion).

3) 'Blue Book' Scenes. Or solo scenes. If you have something your character is doing that doesn't involve anyone else, write me up a nice little story i will award you XP for it.

This can be anything from hunting to secretive behind the scenes stuff. This can be emailed to me, or PMed. These scenes wont garner as much XP as a group scene but there will be reward for it.
