As some of you may have already noticed, the Administration Team has incorporated "participation points" into the Board. They are called Fiefs, because of course. You can view some more (arguably useless) information about the system on its page: here.
In summary, however, you get:
These values were selected after hours of trial and error to achieve synergy or whatever. While the system only shows you whole numbers, it tracks them in decimals, so you do not lose any fiefs if you don't hit multiples of 1600. You will get fiefs for content throughout the entire board, but double fiefs for participating in role play and no fiefs in spam (fuck spam). You will also get fiefs for voting in polls (eg., elections).
The forums which grant double fiefs are: Siora, Siora Media Siora Historical, Fantasia, Andlosheim, Alternative Earth, Pokemon Ultimate.
Now, what can you actually do with these fiefs?
Stuff. Yes, stuff. Nothing right now, but Administration is planning to let you exchange fiefs for video games (from Ayzek's collection of keys), a personalized user group (will be quite expensive as it requires extra back-end support), pretty things. I am open to other ideas.
Fiefs will not influence a players role player level badge and vice versa.
In summary, however, you get:
- 1 fief per post
- 1 fief per 1600 characters/300-ish words in a post
- 4 fiefs per thread
- 4 fiefs per vote in thread
- 10 fiefs per dollar donation
- Zero fiefs in spam
- Double fiefs in role play forums
