New Character Growth System (Talent Points, Merit Points)
Goodness. Merit Points are fractions of a single TP. Merit Points are a side-tally that develop on your character record. Lets say that the mandatory MP needed in a month to be considered active is '10' and that the MP necessary to gain an extra TP is '50' - An individual would have to be fairly active and involved to get enough MP to get another TP. The idea is that you encourage activity and meaningful activity. Individuals gain a TP for reaching that minimum amount and if they allocate enough MP they gain another TP and their MP counter resets. They'll inherently gain that point if they meet that 10 requirement. Nobody anywhere should get anything for being a member and not being around for a whole month.Amoné Fayden wrote:I'm not talking about the Merit Points.

That's the freebie I'm talking about.Tomoran wrote:From here, things change up. Initiates gain an inherent ONE talent point per month (IC year)
Not the extra TP gained by converting MP. (which is what our current system is, really. MP = XP.)
If you never want to spar, just get Storm 4-5, keeps all the crazies away.

Ahhh but nowhere in your initial post did you mention a Mandatory minimum amount of MP required to qualify for monthly TP grants.
This all seems unnecessarily complex.
Plus, we're here discussing it as if it were likely to happen.
It may be slightly presumptuous of us to think that Soh would even be willing to change RPMod to this degree.
That said, you touched on something valuable in your last post, Tomoran:
All it takes is a little guts and people skills to herd the community back into the pen.
Sure folks will run to MSN to rant inter-community about the things they hate about JEDI, but people love drama and love having a wee vent.
Once the results start showing though, people tend to shut up and forget about it.
I'd rather see people being fixed than fooling ourselves into believing it's the system getting us down.

But what if there was? Then there would be no need to change our System. People might rear up like startled horses whenever "Law Enforcement" gets laid down in an official manner but I'd say that's necessary if it meant actively tackling recognized issues.Tomoran wrote:and there's nothing coming down from up top that makes us have to agree.

I see it there now yeah.Tomoran wrote: The individual still needs to attend at a level of involvement that allows them to accumulate the MP needed to count them as 'active' for them to qualify for this TP grant.
It clears that up which is nice but my point in my last post is now the primary thing on my mind in regards to this proposed system change.
