news Noms
+Nominations are a useful tool for you to recognize people who excel at roleplaying upon the MUSH. It is meant only to reward those who you have witnessed roleplaying, either through logs or in-person, roleplaying in an 'in-character' means. We felt we should give some general rules and guidelines for +Nomming, to make your experience, and those whom you +nom, a pleasant experience. We want you to feel like it is a worthwhile time to honor other's RP, so for each +nom you give out, you will receive a small amount of XP yourself for each approved +nom.
Rules
- You can not +nom yourself or any of your alts. You will get a good slap on the hands for trying to sneak this past.
- You can only +nom a person who has successfully completed CharGen. You can not +nom admin. If you want to reward them, post a flattering post on the OOC board.
- You can only +nom a person once in a time period. A typical time period is 1 week.
- You have a limited number of +noms to give out per week.
- You MUST +nom for RP. You should not be +nomming because you're buddy-buddy, or part of a +nom-swapping group. People caught doing this will have their +nom logs reviewed, and XP will be deducted. Other penalties may apply as well, depending on the severity.
What Admin are Looking For
Fairly simple rules. Along with the rules, there are some general things Admin will be looking for when they are reviewing +noms. They are as follows:
- We want to see proper English. Speaking in Trog, shorthand, or any other bizarre forms will result in the dismissal of a +nom. (For those whose English skills may not be tip-top, don't worry. :)
- We want to see a brief synopsis of the RP between you and the other person, or if you were witnessing the scene, what the person was doing. Please, no quotes. We want to see what YOU saw in the scene.
- We want to see why the scene touched you. It doesn't have to go into extreme details, but we do want to know why you liked the scene, in your OWN words.
- We DON'T want huge +noms. There is a minimum hardcoded limit, but we also don't want to see novels coming through the +nom system.
When your +nom is approved, you both will be awarded your XP, and your +nom will be logged in the system. These +noms can help admin make decisions in the future on such things as awarding Feature Characters or other aspects.
Example
Here is an example of a +nomination:
- +nom Joe Bitzlplix=Joe and I had a great RP session the other night. He tore the brig up, he was wild to interrogate. He made it feel so realistic, interrogating him. He made you feel like you were really interrogating someone for something important. This gave me the drive to strive harder, interrogate harder, to break him down! I loved it!
Note that the key points that we are looking for were easily met in this +nomination
