To previous members of Chubbs and AD

[Omni]

I wonder if you could tie progression into the actual written stuff rather than the number of words, though. Like, what if the mods kept up with reading all the active threads (pretty easy on a site this small), and awarded points based on what actually happens in the story. Using Isolation as an example, if Nyx and I have a bunch of small posts in which we kill a bunch of goblins, we would level up based on time lapsed in game or how many enemies we killed, instead of being pressured to write big posts or fall behind in progression.

This would apply tangentially to knowledge gained, distance traveled, stuff like that. Maybe not for Omniverse, just curious on your thoughts in general.

A problem with that is that you'd have to define what's worth points. Not everyone likes killing/fighting. We'd have to define every possible thing a member could do, and it could easily be cheesed for OM. Not to mention it'd make the system even more complicated. Just giving people OM based on words typed keeps things fair, and simple. And then of course, we give extra rewards for going above and beyond, to encourage people to participate and make awesome stories.
