VP Regulation

VP is the Void Faction's version of RP, abbreviated as "Void Points". VP works in the exact same way as RP, however it is separate from RP solely to give protocol to VoS founders and prevent FreeRep exchanging. These can only be rewarded to Voids and Canivoids, but can also be earned by anything that uses Elements or Subelements.

There are two kinds of points Admins can give:

 * VP = Void Points, given to individual characters to use on purchases for that character.


 * FreeVP = Void Points that are held by the rewarded member until spent on a character.

How to Give VP

When you want to give VP, post the member or character name and how much VP to give them in Admin Chat and tag Admins (Founders when available). The decision will receive a quick vote in which at least half the admins vote yes or/and no founder votes no. The reward should be announced in a publicly-accessible chat with the reward type (and/or character name), reward's reason and the member tagged. Announcing rewards increases the likeliness of members working towards rewards of their own.

How much VP to give?

Because of limited spending options, you should always consider giving just 1 VP at a time. If you want to give something more, consider rewarding with FreeVP instead because FreeVP allows a member to stock a new bring-in with VP without having to develop them.

When to give VP?

VP is given for character development. This is NOT given for characters who are just going through the motions of growing up and getting ranks or training or doing events. This is also not for characters who are rarely roleplayed. Essentially, you should only give VP to a character that you feel the player is really invested in and has had consistent activity with the character without a history of inactivity. A simple but vital assessment for reward criteria is to ask yourself "Am I impressed?" Be honest about this question. When a character's development has impressed you, you should be able to answer this question with confidence. Over time you may find yourself less easily impressed, but that's the idea.

When to give FreeVP?

FreeVP is given for member actions. Sometimes it's also given in place of VP when the member is being rewarded both for their participation and their character's development, but it should be reserved for member actions whenever possible. FreeVP should not be rewarded for a lack of bad behavior, but only when a member has done something above and beyond or at the very least impressive. Guiding and initiating new recruits is an example of a FreeVP reward.
