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.

I have returned, at long last...

For this completed thread (oral sex): as a present for Julieta's birthday McGillis would like to request a meteor shower on the night of December 20th.

For this completed thread (masturbation): McGillis would like to upgrade his kitchen so he can impress his senpai. And make food for his lazy fiancé.

For this completed thread (exhibitionism): I have noted your discussion with Oran about spells that can remove curses and conditions and accordingly, I am submitting a square so McGillis can learn something similar to this. With any limitations or stipulations that you see fit, it's all gravy.

[personal profile] mcvillain 2020-12-09 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, mods! Is it safe to assume that McGillis will be able to cure conditions that result from non-Augur effects and events without issue (and with the above restrictions)?

Why hello, I'm here to cash in a square or five.

Teasing (Completed) for a masterbath upgrade for Even and Oran. If it's possible to extend that upgrade to the guest room on the same floor of their tall, narrow townhouse, that would be swell.

Competition (Completed) for a D&D-style level-up for Oran from Warlock Lv. 5 to Lv. 6! I'm going to give him that Erku-specialized Remove Curse spell and rejig my permissions/opt-in and out page to make it more clear on what abilities he has that could need discussion and consent.

Alcohol/Drug Use (Complete) for a "pelt of the beast" wondrous item: specifically, I'm looking for a feather boa that grants the user the ability to use Animal Friendship with a limit to feathered critters only, as well as Speak with Animals once per day.

Hurt/Comfort (Complete) for a stack of extra healing potions to keep up with demand.

Photography/Video (Complete) for as much high quality paper, ink, chalk, and other wizardly needs as possible (it chrimmas, after all, and what better way to submit a square than to gift a love liked one??)

Thank you! :)

hildahilda: pin-up model? or axe murderer? (Default)

[personal profile] hildahilda 2020-12-14 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi mods, a question to go with this request! Hilda's former roommate is no longer in the game, and I was wondering if it might be possible to hang onto the new house he recently acquired. (She'd like to take care of his wyvern as well, but since that technically falls under another character's pet, I totally understand if it isn't possible!)

I have a partially filled A5 card here, with none of the four (4) squares cashed in thus far. If it's better to wait and come back with a completed bingo or multi-kink thread, I can certainly do that!

Thanks so much for your time!
marmoron: by request of the icon creator, pls do not take (Default)

Completed Thread - Vehicles.
Requesting an upgrade to Keith and Allura's cottage in the form of a small sunroom + a few planters of juniberry flowers. If only one of these is ok, then I'll take the juniberries, thanks!

[OMEGA INTENSIFIES] ...sorry for the double post, I had to sort something out.

For this completed thread (authority figures): McGillis would like to learn something similar to this. With any limitations that you see fit, same as before.

I am also cashing in a multi-kink thread (pervertibles, licking, exhibitionism, body worship) for a mystery reward for McGillis! Go crazy.

[personal profile] mcvillain 2020-12-16 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Aweeesome! Just so I know, moving forward, what counts as proficiency? I've been roughly following the guideline of "masters one spell per month" but I definitely wanted to make sure I'm playing by the rules.

[personal profile] mcvillain 2020-12-17 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
It does! What kind of OOC timegap would you like to see from 2 -> 3 and so on? One calendar month, several, etc.
hildahilda: pin-up model? or axe murderer? (Default)

[personal profile] hildahilda 2020-12-17 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for clarifying! In that case I hope the Augur will accept her, uh, completed snuff square for some real estate.............

(Alas, Hilda cannot bear to separate her bestie from his one true love, so she will not ask for the wyvern to be brought back. u_u,)
