Participation Awards

[Ayzek]

Yes. To combat the decline of actual playing together that is completely not His fault, His Most Esteemed High Imperial Celestial Apostolic Majesty, King Alldays, Chief Administrator has determined that distributing participation awards is a good idea. Because we're all lame millennial that need that stuff. There could be a few different participation rewards:

• You'll get a pretty ribbon when you participate in so many role plays started by another player.
  
• Campaign Masters/Thread Starters will also get pretty ribbons the more threads they start.
  
• The Campaign/Thread Master/Starters will have the option to award an MVP with an extra fancy ribbon at the end of the campaign/thread.
  
• The Directorate may also (read: don't count on it) issue an MVP award in particularly exciting role plays.
  
• Should the Directorate issue a reputation point for participating in someone else's expansion/NPC campaign/role play? (I'm thinking yeah.)
  
• An ribbon for having a developed wiki article for your nation?
  
• Ribbons for other kindsa articles? (History...uuhh....)
  

Of course, it should go unsaid that some of this would only apply to...developed content and that shitposting would be punished. I'm hoping this stuff would encourage you nerds to play more together. Or maybe actually play, rather than just plan things. <_<

But secretly this is so I can say "I tried, you can't complain" should you guys object to my taking over half the map alone cause no one would RP with me.

Any suggestions or objections?

Related but not explicitly a participation award:

• A player may get a fief per post (regardless of forum...except spam. because fuck spam).
  
• A player may get x number of fiefs per MVP award.
  
• Fiefs may be traded for a choice of video game from Administration's (read: me) collect of unclaimed video games (I currently have 18 pages on unclaimed keys on humble bundle).
  
• Should a player get fiefs per campaign/thread they start or participate in? (This may devalue the fief.)
  
• Should we enable pay-to-win and let you trade fiefs for pixels on the map? (You gets 10 fiefs per dollar you donate.)
