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.

Thanks so much for those FAQ answers, mods! They were super helpful.

For this completed thread (rubbing, grinding): First and foremost, McGillis really needs a place to stay that isn't his Gundam, so how about a private safe haven?

For this completed thread (anal): It's time. Time for chocobos.

For this incomplete thread (size difference): How much chocolate can I get? You be the judge.

Hey mods!

I'd like to cash in this Completed Thread (Hands/Fingers) for a private safe haven that hopefully has a working shower?

Turning in this completed thread for Eskel's Endurance square, please.

As a reward: So I'd love to have Eskel's hideout (which I describe some here) be upgraded into a decent living space. With running water (which he'll have to figure out), a proper stable/pen for his animals, etc. Would it be possible to have the upgrade be delayed until later in June, please? (The endurance thread takes place during the mingle event, but for Eskel's June log above I already described his place as being rundown. Whoops. :);; )

Please to be cashing in a completed thread (endurance) for a securable cabinet or chest stocked with non-aphro whiskey!

AMAZING thank you mods

hey, quick q: in what condition are the stables? do they need to be magically kink bingo'd up or are we safe to assume that a few characters can slap a few coats of paint on it and be... somewhat serviceable?

[personal profile] mcvillain 2020-06-20 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Two three more requests for you, mods!

For this completed thread (bloodplay): How about a lovely little rose garden for McGillis' home?

For this incomplete thread (authority figures): Presuming the above request is granted, some gardening tools would be great. A basic set will do nicely!

For this completed thread (masturbation): Let's go ahead and upgrade those stables! And make our new birds happy.

coercion/blackmail - complete thread I'm not really sure if this is gonna be enough but would a favourite food/comfort food Thursdays be a thing. like instead of the PCs eating rations, once a week/twice a month? they can come and eat a favourite food in the cafeteria or something. it won't always be the same, and they're gonna need to get there early before it's gone. and it can be non-aphro'd.

(if it's not enough lemme know I can cash in another square or so)

bondage - incomplete thread several small gifts for close CR (about 5 people). i think in this case the one im not sure of is if a turntable will be allowed, along with a few records to play in it? otherwise the other small gifts are something like a stationery set, a fishing rod, make up kit, and two gerbers and a small bag of tea leaves.

This completed thread for "masturbation" on Cloud's A5 for a private safe haven within walking distance of the (in development) chocobo stables for Zack Fair, please!
Edited (I just realized that the thread I submitted originally (cuddling) was not inherently sexual so it wouldn't be eligible for a reward per the FAQ.) 2020-06-25 22:32 (UTC)

Turning in this completed thread (discipline) on Lelouch's A5 card to upgrade the current residence he shares with two other characters, a hilltop church on the city's edge, into a private safe haven. Specifically, one with working amenities, a second floor and attic, and a backyard area with a gazebo.
