    Perhaps it could be determined by how long you've been registered on the board then. That might be a more neutral factor than reputation or postcount. Given the board has been open since April 2009, maybe every 2-3 months = 1 bonus point or something.

    EDIT: Or maybe bonus points could be determined by things done in the game or something. Like, everyone starts with 10 points, and additional points can be acquired by various achievements or accomplishments completed during the playthrough.
    It's all Rodri's fault.

    Hey, most of us already lost our souls before we came to this place.


    But yeah, a static amount+a boost seems more fair to me.

    It is not too late. There are lots of people showing interest, so one idea I am thinking of is running two RP threads, one for veterans and one for people new to RPs. Because I am going to move us through the story scene by scene I could do this in a way that would minimize spoilers I'd also then be able to match veteran RPers to new RPers as mentors, if people were willing to do that.

    Give everyone a static amount of freebie points (say 10 or something as an arbitrary example), and one additional bonus point per bar of reputation.

    It'll give everyone enough points to be useful, while still giving bonus points to those that fit the given critera (reputation).
    Let me clarify more about the skill system: in this trial run, I'm going to be testing certain aspects of skills to evaluate if they add to the story positively, if they are fun, and if they have coherence.

    If you are making a character for this RP, please bear in mind what is relative and what is absolute. Everyone is a character from a small town. You may be the best archer in the town, so you give yourself a high score. But taken from a literally global perspective, you may not actually be that high a rank out of all the people in the world. So the lens to use is the global one and not the relative one.

    I absolutely want to make skill scores meaningful, but in this trial version of the RP there is nothing that a level 6 healer can do which a level 1 healer can't. Be aware though, your skill scores at the end will transfer across into the actual RP adventures.

    For the purposes of this trial, let's go with Alusair's suggestion. Everyone starts with 8 skill points to spend in addition to their repbars.

    Just so you know where this is probably going to go to in the actual RP, I'm thinking of a system where skill points are spent to buy advancements on something like the tech tree from Civilization. So you will be able to specialize in all kinds of things, and will have to learn new skills in order to make some advancements.

    Thanks, we'll see how it works out in practice. Also, thanks for clarifying for everyone that the vision is for a series of short tales with the same characters and not for a sprawling open ended RP. At this point I don't have any of the actual short stories written scene-by-scene (like I do for this practice RP) but I have two ideas which I am developing at the moment. I'm hoping that other people will also come up with some short adventures too!

    i actually like that idea a combination of that having it based off ether Length of time you have been a member of the forums or Rep bars which ever gives the greater bonus is what your skill points is based off of.

    i guess would just going off rep seems unfair to me cause iv been a member since may09 shortly after the boards got active and have always been one of the more active posters in my forum section as boleslav can attest too

    but like i said earlier never really got into the other sections where a majority of the repping takes place

    There's no dissonance, Fruitcup! I'm going with Alu's suggestion of an initial gift of points + repbars. She suggested 10, but I think we can survive on 8.

    ... thanks for the window into your world, btw.

    Let the record show I've never done either.

    EDIT: Also, though you say all the characters are from small towns and such, I'd like to ask if mine can be the daughter of a noble? I won't ask for anything special equipment- or money-wise, I just want to develop the history based on that.

    That kind old lady stopped the rain for us.
    She said it would only make us cold, and miserable, and sick.
    We thanked her and hugged her and she walked away smiling warmly.

    and just saying if you where to go off length of time on the boards every 3 months equaling one point then if you have been a member since april or may 09 you would be eligible for up to 11 points or the same as a max number of rep bars that seems fair to me
