Strike System

✦ STRIKE SYSTEM ✦

Strike System Rules.
... We have trained them to think of the Future as a promised land which favored heroes attain ...
The Strike System is to help keep track of inactivity in the game. Players will only earn strikes for inactivity and for no other behavior.


✦ How are strikes earned?

Strikes are earned one of two ways:

   1 strike per character per month for failing AC (Players with an offical AC pass will not receive a strike.)
   1 strike per character per month for character squatting (Character squatting is defined HERE)



✦ Who receives them - the Player or the Character?

They are applied to the character that failed AC or the character that was being squat upon.



✦ When are they applied?

Strikes are given at the end of the Activity Check that was failed or at the time the Mods catch a player character squatting.



✦ How many strikes can a character have at one time?

Characters can have a total of 2 strikes against them at one time. If they accrue a third strike, then the player will lose that character.

This total will not include strikes that have been previously forgiven.



✦ How many months in a row can my character earn a strike?

None. Strikes cannot be earned in consecutive months. If a character does, the player will lose that character.

If player develops a habit of earning a strike every other month, the Mods will talk to the player - this behavior will not be tolerated.



✦ What are the penalties for having a strike on my character?

These are the penalties if your character has a strike agains their name:

Players will not be able to earn points for any character that has unforgiven strikes.
Players will not be able to spend points for any character that has unforgiven strikes.
Players will not be able to reserve/app new characters if any of their characters have unforgiven strikes.
Some plots and events in game will not be open to characters that have a strike to their name. We will let players know in event details if this restriction applies to a plot.
If a player drops a character with a strike against them, they must wait a full month before being able to re-reserve/app the character should they change their mind.



✦ How do I get rid of a strike?

Strikes can be removed by doing twice the minimum AC for the character who has the strike, in a month following the earning of the strike.

Only one strike per character will be redeemed per month. (So if your character has two strikes to their name, you will need to do twice the minimum AC in two separate months to redeem all the strikes the character has.)

If a player drops a character with a strike, that strike will not transfer to the any of the other player’s characters – essentially, the strike is dropped as well (but see above regarding how it will affect re-apps). HOWEVER, in the event that a player is abusing this option to get rid of a strike, the Mods will discuss matters with that player.



✦ When are strikes forgiven?

Strikes are forgiven at the end of the Activity Check where the redemption links were submitted.

Can they be earned in advance?
No. Strike redemptions cannot be preemptively earned. Players must wait for the Activity Checks to get rid of their strikes.



✦ Will a strike on one character affect my other characters?

No. Strikes do not transfer to other characters. So if one of your characters has a strike, you can still spend points on your strike-free character, you can still participate in events with your strike-free character, your strike-free character will still earn points.



✦ What if I drop a character who would have failed AC but I dropped them before AC/at AC, will I get a strike?

No. If you drop a character that would have failed AC, but you do it before or at AC, you will not be penalized. Strikes are only applied when a player intends to continue playing a character.
