With most SLA games, a military ranking system is used to acknowledge player participation. The number of posts made
is accumulated, and once a certain pre-determined number is reached the character may be up for a promotion. Speaking as a
player, it is a real sense of accomplishment to achieve rank. And speaking as someone that has been a new player, it is nice
to know who has been around for a while and can give a hand.
However, due to the nature of the Firefly 'Verse, ranks become a moot point. So, we shall for go a ranking system. Instead,
various reward will be posted to the SLA boards and the thought of a well posted and fluid game shall be are ranks!
We would like to see players posting at least once a week. Otherwise, it's fairly obvious: post more, and you'll be get
more out of the game. I will be considering people for awards and such likely once a month, at the end of each Job. Just having
the raw number of posts isn't enough for advancement: your posts need to advance the story and/or develop your character.
Minimal Posting and LOA
If you are going to be not posting for a long period of time, just let us know. We'll put
you on a Leave Of Absence and you can come back when you're ready.
If a player does not post consistently for one calendar month, they will be put on LOA while the Command Staff attempts
to contact them. After a week of no contact, the character will be removed.
For the ease of the rest of the players, please post in third person.
The rest is just common sense, and
would hope I don't have to be to specific.
Most of all, be creative and have some fun.
