The experience gained in this game is called AP, which can be considered either Advancement Points of Armament Points, whatever you want to call it. Regardless, there are four various ways on the board that you can gain AP.

Monthly Participation

This is for the normal threads you do during a month. Every month you will submit a report with what has happened to your character and links to topics finished that month. Staff look over them and give an overall grade for the amount of development your character has been through. Keep in mind that completing 20 threads versus 1 thread does not guarantee you more AP. AP is rewarded on a development basis of your character.

1 AP - Everyone gets 1 AP just for submitting a monthly report, development or not.
2 AP - If there is some special interaction that leads to a decent amount of development, you can get 2 AP.
3 AP - This means that there is a lot of special interaction and development that has happened. More often than not you will get 2 AP, 3 AP is actually remarkably rare, or at least should be.

Story Lines

The difference between Story Lines here and other places is that we do not reward for random story lines. A monster suddenly appearing and a group having to defeat it is not enough to gain AP. Those kinds of threads would go towards monthly. If it is actually something LARGE to your character outside of making a new boyfriend/girlfriend? Something actually big and changing? Something that develops them in a way that's awesome? You get one to three extra experience points. Three is for major major things, with possibly one or two more added in if you're doing a REALLY good job. However most of the time you'll get one or possibly two if it's really good, three if its just huge on excellent. It'll be graded on your characters interactions within the story, so it's possible to be part of a major storyline and get nothing if you did or learned nothing.

Board Story Lines

Board Story Lines are staff run Story Lines that have a significance to the overall history and plot of the board. They will be graded like a Story Line in regards to how the characters interact, so the same scoring there, however they will also have a base bonus to the AP gained simply for participating. Why? Because we want to encourage posting in them, even if you are only taking a back seat.

Contests

Randomly there will be board contests where free AP will be given our or you will have a chance to gain AP depending on the contest. These will happen from time to time and are a fun, if not exactly regular, way to gain AP.
