Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the AvP Complex RP System?
A: This system is designed for the upcoming Alien Versus Predator Roleplay theme that will soon come to life. It was not only made for this purpose, however. It was crafted to create new fun and exciting feel to the RP, as well as make it easier to keep order and organization ontop of everyone's characters.

Q: How would it work?
A: I am planning on crafting a well thought-out chart that would be organized into three main categories (Humans, Xenos, and Yaujta) then further split into several sub-categories of weapons, abilities, and equipment. The main categories will allow you to 'purchase' your type of character, items, and special abilities using 'credits' (will go into further detail shortly). So if you decide to create a Human character, you will first have to choose which Class you wish to be. Here is a small chart to use as an example:

Human
- Civilian
- Scientist
- Militant
- Synthetic

Though it may seem very limited on your options, each Class has their own "Job" that they may also choose from (Civilians/Synthetics can be Engineers, Cooks, ect. and Scientists can be Doctors, Researchers, ect.). The Militants do not have Jobs to choose from but instead utilize "Ranks". With higher Ranks, your character is allowed to use better weapons and equipment, as well as have more liberties to use.

Q: What are credits and how do I earn them?
A: Credits, the form of currency for this system, will be used to purchase items, weapons, and abilities to help customize your character to your liking and still keep the balance between the players. The big question is this: how do we get them? Simply enough, the basic principle behind it is just to post in the RP and remain fairly active. Other factors will come into play on calculating the credits you have earned when you RP (more to come on that), but here is a short list on everything that will be reviewed for the evaluation.

Number of IC Posts
Length of Post
Description and Imagery
Fluency of Post
Proper Spelling and Punctuation

Number of IC Posts - Pretty simplistic point here, you will have the amount of posts you have sent to the thread evaluated on for the final credits you earn. This one will not be of too much importance, so even if you scarcely get a chance to RP often, this will not overall kill your chance to earn a bushel of credits. Also, if you make an Out of Character post with aboslutely nothing involving your character (thoughts, actions, ect.), that post will not count towards the evalutation.
Length of Post - One of the key methods of earning credits is how much involvement is going on with your character. Several actions and well thought-out posts will surely count towards more credits being earned.
Description and Imagery - Many people may consider this to be the more difficult part of earning credits, but surely, if one worked enough at it, you could soon learn to better yourself as an RPer with more fluid language and gain a better grasp and skill at entrancing the reader with vivid imagery of your character and the situation at hand. This is also one of the key methods of credit earning.
Fluency of Post - To keep the events of your character from clashing with one another from simple mistakes in fluent writing structure and conflicting story plot-holes can be HIGHLY difficult for many RPers, so I will judge very leniently when it comes to this portion of your posts. If you do manage to keep it highly fluent, though, you will be awarded a few more credits and a pat on the back. biggrin
Proper Spelling and Punctuation - Last but not least, another key portion of not earning credits, but MAINTING them. I feel, as do others I'm sure, that if you do type, you ought to make sure what exactly you are typing is legible and easy on the eyes. No, I am not demanding that you type as I do, but if a moderator who is calculating credits for your post and has a difficult time reading it due to your laziness, you will be penalized many of your already earned credits.

Q: How often would the moderators calculate my posts for how much credits I've earned?
A: Every single day, but we will figure up the sum of a week's worth of posts before we post your credits that you've earned for that week as well as the credits the other RPers have also accumulated in Credits Posting Board.

Q: "Credits Posting Board"? What is that?
A: A relatively new idea that consists of a locked thread that only the moderators will have access to, where they will then post every RPer's amount of Credits that they have earned for that week. If this idea is not well recieved, then I will have the mods send PMs to every player instead.

Q: So what exactly will I be able to choose from? What races, classes, and weapons will I use?
