XP

This is how I nom:

+xp/nom <name>/<types>=Participants: <space separated list of those in the scene>%rPoses: <Pastebin log or example poses>%rSummary: <2-3 sentence description of scene, including why special rewards were given>

Example nom:

+xp/nom Alice/ACTING CONCEPT HEROISM=Participants: Alice Bob%rPoses: https://pastebin.com%rSummary: A discussion happens between the two about how they're always used in examples. Just then a gasmain explodes, and the two scramble to protect NPC diners.

Notes:

If someone has a space in their name, please use their alias instead.

Only one nom needs to be submitted per scene (makes it easier for staff.)

If someone in the scene should get different XP totals, you can add that info to the initial command.

For PRPs you probably want to include a Storyteller: line

Staff recommends ACTING and CONCEPT as a pair.

Guide to XP

Highlight

First set a function on yourself:

&b me=ansi(h,[moniker(%0)])

Now in scenes, just wrap every person's name like this:

[u(b,name)]

Posebreak

Turn on posebreak:

+posebreak on

Turn off posebreak:

+posebreak off

Set posebreak (allows for ANSI):

@fo me=+posebreak <break text>

BBS

See available themes:

+bbcolorthemes

Set theme:

+bbcolortheme <theme>

Color Name

Put your name in Color:

@moniker me=<name>

Note:

Moniker must be the same characters as your name, though with options for ANSI or accents.

Keepalive

Prevent network disruptions:

@set me=KEEPALIVE

Note:

This will not prevent disruptions on your end, that must be set clientside.

Reality

Realities:

Fae, Wraith, Umbra

Be able to see a reality:

+rsee <reality>

Be able to have a desc in a reality:

+rexist <reality>

See if anyone in the room can see that reality:

+rscan <reality>

Set your desc for a reality (I recommend adding ANSI or a break to avoid confusion):

&<reality>desc me=<reality desc>

Reality Posing:

?\\<emit>

?:<pose>

?;<pose without space>

?"<say>

?'<ooc>

Replace '?' for:

f = fae

w = wraith
