Weekly Task/Prompt Guide - SNOWBOUND. - 06-23-2018
Weekly Task/Prompt Guide
What is this? This is Snowbound's unique way of making weekly tasks and prompts more effective and applicable to general rp! Each week, a weekly prompt/task thread will be posted and you/your character will have the opportunity to earn points/syamine (an ic currency) to either add to their own account to spend on ic goods and services in Snowbound or to put towards a certain plot you'd like to see.
How do I earn points?
Points can be earned during ooc weekly prompt threads or ic weekly task threads. This is done by completing the prompt or task within the week and submitting it to the 'Point/Syamine Hub and Bank'. Five points are earned for completing each prompt/task. Here, a running total of the different categories is kept. When the category reaches the specified amount, either a special event or plot takes place based on that category.
What is Syamine and how do I earn it?
Symaine is an ic currency only used in Snowbound (currently) and it can only be earned through ic weekly task threads. Your character will earn five syamine every time they complete a weekly task and the proof of that is submitted to the 'Point/Syamine Hub and Bank'. It can be spent at any of the ic shops mentioned in the 'Snowbound Business Guide' using the instructions located there. Specifically, Syamine is a blue mineral found in the many caves throughout Snowbound that the residents have taken and made into small, round pieces to use as a currency.
What are the categories?
Categories are one of the most important parts of this system! They determine which kinds of plots play out in Snowbound's history and how the clan is affected by the actions of the majority. When a category reaches a certain amount of points (as specified on the 'Point/Syamine Hub and Bank'), an event or plot will take place based on that category. Below is a description of each category but if you have any further questions, feel free to post them here or in the 'Point/Syamine Hub and Bank'.
Medical: This category has to do with medical skills. This could mean the character individually learning more about medicine somehow, holding a medical related event, or even getting some sort of injury themselves.
Scavenging: These are tasks that have to do with territory exploration and expansion. This could mean finding a completely new area, looking through a known area for something new, or finding new plants and animals.
Aggressive: These are tasks that are actively aggressive. In the case of prompts, this may mean starting some sort of fight. In the case of tasks, this may mean holding some sort of combat-based training or leading a raid or fighting a feral animal.
Protective: These are tasks that focus on building the defenses of the clan. This could mean stockpiling for an emergency, building new traps to put around the territory, or even giving specific defensive training to Snowboundres. In the case of weekly prompts, this could look like being emotionally protective and learning when, and when not to, hide a character's feelings from their clanmates.
Festive: These are tasks that focus on just having as much fun in Snowbound as possible. This could mean holding some kind of mini event or trying to get to know new members. In the case of prompts, this could mean showing what ways your character likes to have fun and exploring different ways they relax.
Personal: THIS IS A CATEGORY THAT CAN ONLY BE CHOSEN FOR WEEKLY PROMPTS. This means that your prompt is specific to your character and may have to do with their current plots outside of that thread or current situation. It may ask you to explore a recently introduced idea or the way they think, or just anything about them in general in greater detail. While this doesn't cause a plot, it will cause a special event or promotion in the currency. For example, the shops may have to put items on sale or there may be a week of triple earnings and so forth. It may also introduce things icly, such as events for characters to get to know each other better or special ooc events, like streamed movie nights.
Random: Choosing to do a random task/prompt category means that you might get any of the above categories but the usual earnings for them are doubled (giving you either 10 points or 10 Syamine).
What do I do if I have more questions?
You can always feel free to contact any of the hps with any questions you have, ask questions on this thread, or ask questions on the 'Point/Syamine Hub and Bank' thread.
