Gaining XP

[Kannon]

Starting with Pulse #2 and Pulse #3, we'll adopt a following model of gaining XP.

• Meaningful participation in GM-made IC threads gives you 5XP for each pair of them, once they are both wrapped.
• The qualifying threads need to be consecutive. You can't claim the XP if you still post in any GM-made thread in between the finished ones.
• If more than one thread per timeslot is allowed, only one qualifies for XP gain - you choose which.
• Day 0 threads qualify for this.
• Meaningful participation means having at least 10 posts in the thread in which the character does something: participates in dialogue, performs actions, makes rolls, engages the environment or their background with their thoughts. In effect, only stand-in posts, posting rolls without written content, and one-liners don't qualify. I trust you to make your own decisions which threads overall qualify.
• XP so gained can be stored or used immediately, effective for chronologically later threads. This doesn't give the title for retconning rolls or other mechanics-supported approaches already made.
• Mindful XP spending that is directly related to character's in-game experience is recommended. When in doubt, ask.
• This is without prejudice to any extra XP GM can award for particular scenes/achievements/stages of the game.
• I may decide that some threads are big/important enough to count double. This information will be included in the post closing the thread. I'll review older threads to make this modification when merited.
• Please create an XP tracker thread in your PFs in which you demonstrate which pairs of threads have got you the XP, with links. If you do a day tracker, it can be there.
