AUGUR REWARDS (KARMA).

AUGUR REWARDS



Augur Shop



Simulation Shop



COMPLETING AN ACT: What does this mean?
A square is "checked off" when a thread reaches its thematic focus. For instance, the moment a character is blindfolded. Additionally, players can choose to submit threads-in-progress for small reward, or completed threads for larger rewards. These thread submissions will be separate from bingo card submissions.

Good things happen to those who smang. You can request items from home, changes to the world, or other mysterious things.

What counts as a smut thread?
Any thread where eroticism is the focus. There doesn't have to be penetration or orgasm. A striptease? Sure. Sexting? That's fine, too. The criteria here is very lenient, because the intent is to get characters intimate in any way the players are comfortable making it happen.

When is a thread "complete"?
When a thread reaches a point of natural conclusion. A few comments could still happen after or players may fade to done, but when the story (and kinks) in a thread has concluded, it counts as completed.

Explain this "karmic reward" stuff.
Karma can go towards individual rewards or community rewards. You can trade a karmic reward for "finding a house with a roof" or "finding a motorcycle with a tank of gas," or you can pool rewards to "renovate the community center so characters have a place to congregate."


TYPES OF BINGOS AND MULTI-KINKS
What types of bingo can we submit?
  • Row - Any five kinks going across
  • Line - Any five kinks going down
  • Diagonal - Any five kinks going from a top corner to the opposite bottom corner
  • X - Two opposing diagonals crossing in the center
  • Plus Sign - The middle horizontal and the middle vertical line crossing in the center
  • Border - All kinks on the outside of the card are completed

What is a multi-kink thread?
You can also acquire something unique for a multi-kink bingo thread. A multi-kink is when you cross off a specific arrangement of kinks from your card in a Single Thread (however, only one of those kinks can be permanently checked off on your A5 card).
  • Postage Stamp - Any 2x2 box of kinks (4 kinks) in one thread
  • Row/Line - A horizontal or vertical combination of 5 kinks in one thread
  • X - Two opposing diagonals' worth of kinks in one thread
  • Plus Sign - One horizontal and one vertical set of kinks in one thread

Are Bingos and Multi-kink threads the same?
No, a Bingo involves Five squares fulfilled by Five threads. A Multi-Kink thread is four or five kinks on your card in ONE single thread. When making a request, please be sure that you are following the guidelines for the right type of reward.


REWARDS: So, what do I get?
I'm glad you asked! These are only examples. You can request the specific reward and a mod will approve or tweak it based on this sliding scale.

An in-progress thread may include a week's worth of non-aphro food rations, a small appliance, or the luck of scavenging a new outfit. You could also get paper or a small amount of hygiene supplies.

A completed thread might be a vehicle or mecha (without fuel), a pet, or the return of a type of plant or animal to the world, or a private safe haven. A weapon request requires a completed thread, but will be limited. For more advanced weapons or a large amount of ammunition, a multi-kink bingo thread may be requested.

A bingo reward might be that robots finish constructing a building to make it free for public use, taking a prominent role in a gamewide plot, or the development of new or existing powers. A full bingo or multi-kink bingo would be sufficient for asking for large scale personal safe havens such as a mansion.

A multi-kink thread is worth more than a completed thread. A player used a multi-kink thread to request a day of sunlight for the game. Another player did the same for our brief winter season! Personal power upgrades and new special abilities also fall under multi-kink bingo. Here are some more setting-specific options..

A general scale to remember is that incomplete threads are tiny rewards (food, paper, hygiene items). Complete squares are bigger rewards but limited ones (such as one animal returning, or vehicle or mecha with no fuel or weapons, a few new books in the library). Multi-kink bingo threads are larger rewards (a mansion, large businesses, or effecting the weather) or a few smaller rewards in one. A complete bingo is a larger scale reward for yourself or to influence the entire game (such as the amusement park).

Also please remember that requesting magical artifacts for a character who does not have magic may be considered a power upgrade and require a multi-kink bingo thread (depending on the power of the item being requested). There is no limit to what can be requested within reason, but within reason is the focus here.


What about requesting a Business?
In regards to businesses/locations requests, the Augur assumes it will do the work for these businesses with its robots unless you request otherwise. If you would like your character to run the business themselves, feel free to ask! A small business is one complete square. If you would like to request a personal business for your character then the requirements are as follows:

1 completed square is enough to have a building set aside, cleaned up and get basic supplies for a business if the character plans to do the rest of the work themselves to get ready for opening.

1 multi-kink bingo thread would be enough to get everything done by robot helpers (similar to using a multi-kink bingo thread to request a large house or laboratory). If it is a very large and extensive establishment, then a full bingo or two multi-kink threads may be requested. You would still need squares for continued supplies as time goes on for either option.

Businesses with robot helpers may be used as a setting for events. Due to our varying schedules, we won't be able to accommodate requests to give business owners a "head's up" about upcoming events. If you would prefer your business not be used for events, feel free to opt-out in your rewards request here, or at any time by contacting the mods.

Turning in a completed ritual thread for more materials for Lloyd's lab! They're trying to build a "remote-controlled mini-sub made solely for reconnaissance," if that matters!

[personal profile] knightmaking 2021-02-14 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Submitting a completed thread, teasing, for even more materials for Lloyd's lab. This time for building an aquatic modification kit for one of the Knightmares, including oxygen tanks that allow for ocean exploration with up to 8 hours of air, for one pilot, or 4 hours, for two.

This does not include weapons that function underwater (maybe that'll be a future square, who knows).

And since it might be becoming obvious that we're planning to poke around the ocean soon-ish, a question: should we hit up the FAQ to ask what can be found once everything is built or ask somewhere else?

Complete Thread (Voyeurism): Would it be possible for Jon to get some article of jewelry (collar/necklace, bracelet, ring, etc) that, when worn, would give him cat ears and a tail? Effects would last until the article is removed again.

Complete Thread (Exhibitionism): A storage-box of assorted statements from the Magnus Archives

Competition - Spring/Easter season is coming. Must! Bring! Back! Bunnies!!

Public - And maybe bunnies that... lay eggs? Eggs that are sweets??? Maybe Sweets that make for other egg-laying opportunities if they are consumed? Idk where y'all wanna go with this but Easter is the stupidest time to throw some sort of twitterpated breeding/ovi event into the mix please y'all (Edit: and I just remembered that "the rabbit done died" is an old idiom for getting pregnant which makes this even better? stupider? Perfection)

Silk - Supply refill for soaping stuff

Hi mods! Peter would like to pool 3 different rewards to kick-start one of the projects discussed in The Island Improvement Council. He's got this to offer:

1. Complete thread (water)
2. Complete thread (licking)
3. Complete thread (clothing)

And what he would like to ask is for...Potatoes yo, where are they. What kind of sad potato-deficient society are they living in? That needs to change. Peter would want to cash his reward (s) in exchange for some field crops with 2 different kinds of potatoes ready for harvesting (Redskins and Russets) just in case there's a blight or something.

I have another thread that I'm not sure if it counts as finished or not. It's This one (oral sex). The oral sex/face fucking between Klaus and Peter happens, and it's finished, but then things were supposed to keep going with Jim, yet the chars never got there. If this could count as a complete reward, then I'd like to request a small cottage next to the field crops, something on the side of rustic but comfortable: one bedroom, one kitchen, a bathroom, a nice big window to see the stars... and that's pretty much it.

If it only counts as an ongoing thread, then, uhhh...surprise Peter with whatever?

slides back in here with my (old) A5 card for reference—
➤ Turning in the last column bingo (sensation play, spanking, tattoos, masturbation, dirty talk) for the previously discussed trolley/cable car public transportation system from the FAQ! I'm not sure whether you guys would prefer to come up with the details in order to better suit your vision for the island or if you'd like me to come up with more details but I'm happy to roll with either!

➤ Turning in two completed threads (sensation play + tattoos) for a speedship and fuel.

➤ Turning in one completed thread (masturbation) forrrr ideally the addition of dino (and other)-shaped chicken nuggets to the cafeteria menu once a week. If that's not possible then I will accept a supply of creature-shaped chicken nuggets instead.

I would like to submit the following:

Jewellery, completed. For this I would like to request a freezer stocked full of nice meals, hopefully enough to share for parties and such. Even's tired of cooking goose stew :B

And this completes a bingo! In the first column of Even's card.

For this, I'd like to make a slightly unusual request: I'm booting up a thread with Essek and Caleb shortly where they're going to be trying to detect and chart the flow of Auspicious Energy in some way, while it's being generated. Could I ask for this to succeed, and get some insight into how Auspicious Energy is generated from sex and how the Augur collects and amasses it? If possible, it'd be really cool for this to reveal some interesting truth about the island we don't already know.

If this isn't an appropriate use of a bingo, let me know; I can amend or come up with something else.

Hello mods! I have an incomplete thread here for Eskel's Food square - it didn't get far but iff it's enough to count for something, Eskel would love a non-aphro bottle of Mahakaman spirit, his favourite booze, please.

A5
Completed Multikink (Water, Jewelry, Rubbing/Grinding, Messy) thread for a furnished mansion. Still working out its appearance, but basically multiple rooms/levels, high quality materials/construction, gardens on grounds, privacy wall around property because what if I wanted to smash someone in the garden, ok?

Oral fixation; oral sex | A5

Kitten supplies please. (Cus I'm gonna guess this isn't something he could buy with credits anywhere?)
And for the least sexy request ever: could he please get a litterbox that never smells and needs the barest amount of maintenance the Augur will allow.

Hi mods! Here with more squares and a bingo. Eskel's A5 card
  • This unfinished thread for Multiple Orgasms - A notebook and pen
  • This finished thread for Sensory Play - A horse-drawn cart in roughly this size/style.*
  • This finished thread for Orgy/Decadence - Any supplies needed for tapping the stable's maple tree copse for sap the old-fashioned way - so taps, buckets, a setup for evaporating the sap into syrup/sugar, and bottles to put it all in once finished.
  • Bingo! "B" Column (Wax, Orgy/Decadence, Cuddling, Dirty Talk, Oral) - A wheat field and mill, please! Let's get this bread. Placed next to the potato field. (Not sure if it would be a windmill or how it would function, but I'll leave it up to whatever you guys think would work best.)

Sex-ifying any of the above is, of course, welcome. Thanks again!

*With Wanda Maximoff having dropped, Eskel would like to care for her chickens. Is there anything that would stop him from using his wagon to manually move the coop/chickens to the stables?

Using this completed multikink thread (it hits mirrors/multiple orgasms/oral/sensation on the upper right of her card) for some improvements to the building Edelgard and her friends live in.

- An adjoining training ground with both indoor and outdoor space, dummies and targets, a supply of training weapons. I'd love for it to have a room or two for some kind of holodeck-style combat simulations. So others can enjoy the training ground without necessarily feeling invited into the residence itself, I'd like for the indoor section to have three possible entrances - one exterior door, one door (lockable) that opens to the common area of Edelgard's building, and one (also lockable) that leads to....

- A short passage that ends in a door at the back of her bedroom closet.

- A small kitchen/living room addition to her quarters. (Sort of like this?)

Turning this in for Teasing.

Kara'd like to request a nice collection of furniture for her home. A bigger bed, a dresser, etc. She'd probably specify a style from her homeworld, so weird crystalline stuff if that's okay!

[personal profile] idratherbeasleep 2021-03-06 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Turning this in for Roleplay and Linhardt wants an amazing bed. That's it. The rest of the furniture can be trash.

And this one for Photography/Video and he wants a tablet computer. Reading on the bracelet is hurting his eyes and neck.

hi mods! i've got a weird one for ya, but hopefully it's doable.

turning in this completed thread (cuddling) for shaun gilmore ([personal profile] gloriouslygood) to receive his first level spells back. not the high level fancy ones, just... you know, some of the more basic ones he lost when he came to the island. if it's not possible to gift rewards, i'll switch this to something else, but a half elf has complicated feelings and he has to try.

Hello, as tempting as it is to ask for spells back... Shaun would like to turn this completed thread in for a room of his own in the Neinhaus, a floor below Vax's.

Also, just a question for the mods if Shaun wanted to open a magical item shop similar to what he had back in Emon, could he sell magical things that would say conjure non-aphro laced food or other things that would bypass some of the island's effects?

Multiple Partners - Multikink Stamp for a restaurant space including extra ovens for baked goods and a full bar/wine cellar as well as replenishing supplies for as long as a multikink gets us.

Lorenz is a fancy boy so he's thinking something upscale like this

Turning in this thread for Kara's Altered Mood/Emotion Manipulation square.

For her reward, can she get something like a sci-fi strapon that lets her feel like it's real, or something along those lines?

Hello mods, I'd like to redeem the free space square [here] for an app with a loyalty card system for the maid cafe.

The idea is that purchases at the maid cafe earn customers stamps, and when a character fills up enough stamps on a "card", they can turn it in for a prize of their choice, sort of like a mini-bingo. IC-ly the list of prizes would be made up by the Augur. I was thinking things like a free drink or piece of cake for half a card, various sex acts with the maids for a full card, etc. I expect I'll be the one fleshing this out OOC-ly but if you want to provide a specific list that's also fine with me.

If making it a full-on app is too much for a single square, I'd like to instead request this as a sizable stack of cards and a poster with the list of rewards delivered to the cafe, and the staff can handle it manually instead.

[personal profile] idratherbeasleep 2021-03-17 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Mirrors Square - Linhardt would like some fishing equipment: 2 top of the line set-ups of rods and whatever else (look I don't fish idk).
