The seaFire ASV Role Playing Group believes in basing promotions on performance and
service rather then leaving them to the whim of the CO. By following the simple
posting requirements below, you'll be able to best determine your own progress as well as
estimate when you'll be promoted, etc.Keep in mind, promotions are based on your
contributions, so only you can make or break a promotion.
First off, we need to establish
some basic definitions so we are all on the same page.
Character post: Is a post which is primarily about your
character. It can be done in the form of a flash-back or as a memory. It can
be current day thoughts or actions. Basically it is about your character and helps
us to further understand how your character thinks and acts. A character post should
be very well thought out and descriptive other wise the whole point of it is lost.
There is no length requirement for a character post as it is at your discretion.
Full post: Is a post which is based on moving the
story plot forward. This is where you are an intricate part of helping to develop
the story and interact with the other players. Your actions and words further help
to define your character and define your role as a member of the ship. A full post
should be at least four well thought out paragraphs and needs to describe your characters
actions in the story. Usually your actions will be in response to something or
someone.
Filler post: Is a post which is merely a short reply to
<tags> left by other players. Tags are defined as places left in the story
post of another player which require you to respond. For example: Murdock
spoke to Miller about the warp core maintenance. "Mr. Miller, what is your
estimated time of repair?" <Miller>. This is a minimal post and does not
qualify as a Full post.
Points: are values assigned to your contribution. They
vary based on your particular contribution and have a maximum allowable value, regardless
of your total contribution. You may receive negative points if you fail to meet the
minimum requirements.
Point Distribution: Is performed by the Executive Officer as
part of his/her weekly duties. Points are sent out via email utilizing the ooc
list. You are free to ask about your points should you have any questions or
complaints.
Discretionary Points: are values assigned to you for activities
which are above and beyond that of role playing. For example, you may be assigned up
to 3 points for recruitment or research which help to grow the rpg. This is in
addition to your regular point assignment.

You can achieve a maximum
of 6 points a week towards your promotion. That is the minimum of 3 full posts a
week. You can achieve less points if your three contributions are either a character
or filler post. A maximum of 6 points a week is established to regulate a fair
system. The following is the promotion schedule: (points ARE accumulative,
thus to go from Lt.jg to Lt. you just need 36 more points). One could expect to
reach Captain and their own ship by 30 weeks or approximately 7 or 8 months. This
will allow you to develop your character and become comfortable in the RPG
environment. There are no requirements at this time with respect to commanding your
own ship. At that time we will form a small rpg group and grow our numbers from
within. If you are interested in command, you will need to be assigned bridge detail
if you are not specifically a command officer.
