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.)
