At this point, from a game mechanic perspective, this is the first time experience was awarded. Experience was calculated several ways, and is all subjective. The CM makes the calls on how much is awarded. Yes I do have a math system for this and no I am not going to tell you exactly what it is. Below are some guidelines. Attendance: Every page that a PC appears on with a meaningful in character post earns some credit. Participation: Every completed scene that a PC appears in earns some credit. School Spirit: Arbitrary awards for especially comedic, dramatic, or entertaining posts or scenes. Form: If a majority of a character's posts are NOT chain errors or have a lot of formatting errors (If I see a bunch of failed formatting attempts in the logs you'll not score the best here) Extra Credit: Awarded for GMing scenes involving yourself and two or more other players, and given as a general pool for you to assign among your PCs as you wish. I estimated it at about a week to 'grade' the logs and hand out awards, though with the mass I have to go through, it may take even longer. Awards may be, and this is the order of difficulty in achieving them: 1) A new Aspect 2) A new Stunt 3) Additional Refresh 4) A +1 to one of the six approaches (+0s first, +1s 2nd, +2s last in difficulty of obtaining. +3 is the max allowed in the scope of TFOS) Note that you have to earn enough EXP for the previous award level to qualify for the higher ones. I will PM each of you with the level you achieved, and you can choose the highest level and spend all of your EXP or bank EXP for next grading Period and take a lower (or No!) reward for the first period if you're aiming for a higher award.
