Saga Creation

A saga focuses on a particular story arc involving your character. What this means, is that a saga allows you to develop a certain aspect of your character while getting a little added bonus for your efforts.

• Saga’s are a minimum of 50 posts long. When you enter a thread with another player, and you intend to use that thread to develop your saga, the other player's posts will count towards your 50 post count.
• When you participate in another players Saga, their posts will not count towards your own Saga (if Applicable) UNLESS, the thread is also progressing your own saga.

All saga’s must have a desired ending. You need to achieve this ending to be entitled for the reward. That means, even if you have 50 posts towards your saga, if you haven’t accomplished its goal, then you must continue until you have.

• Example1: Fred’s Saga is to wean himself off of drugs. Fred’s player makes 50 posts where Fred fights his demons, fights his drug dealers, etc, but never has Fred stop doing drugs. Until the player has Fred stop using drugs, the saga is not complete.
• Example2: Tiffany wants to become an idol for her saga. She spends 50 posts detailing her trials and tribulations towards accomplishing this goal, then finally has her first big concert! This is a complete saga, and Tiffany would be eligible for the reward.

Saga’s have a 3 month cool down starting from the day of your application. If you manage to complete a saga within 3 months, then you may apply for another Saga. If you do NOT complete a saga within 3 months, then you will continue it until it’s completion, and will not be able to start another until it is done. A player cannot have 2 saga’s at the same time.

• In the event that a saga becomes stalled before it is complete due to another member going inactive or another unusual reason, then you may write up a final summary of the thread (in the thread itself) depicting what progress your character has made in the thread. While this isn’t the most fun way to end a thread, it’s an unfortunate reality of any roleplay site. You may continue your saga once you’ve provided the summary, or submit it if it is complete.
• If a saga is completely stalled due to one of these reasons, and you cannot continue it, then you may place this saga ‘on hold’. What this means, is that all posts you have done for that saga will count towards its eventual completion. You will not be able to continue a saga that has been placed ‘on hold’ until you apply for it again. You are, however, able to apply for a new saga in the interim, then continue with the on hold saga once it is done, and the 3 month time limit has passed.
• If you overestimated your goal in the Saga and want to revise it, simply message the staff member who graded your saga and ask if your goal can be revised. Sometimes we take on more than we can chew, and accomplish a lot less than we were hoping for. The staff remember will change the goal of your saga, and you can then proceed to finish it, or turn it in.

Saga Rewards

• Students will gain 1EP upon completion of 50 saga posts
• Youths (PC’s under 13 years) will gain 1 EP upon completion of 50 saga posts
• Non-students will gain 2EP upon completion of 50 saga posts

While we understand the frustration some might feel about the difference in rewards, this is due to the notion that those who are older and those not restricted by the law will naturally progress faster.
