[attr="class","omgentop"]THE FIRST WAVE:[break]PRELUDE MP SHOP



[attr="class","omgenmid"]

SCHEDULED RUNNING PERIOD: UNTIL JULY 31ST, 11:59PM PST



[attr="class","topocorner"]


[attr="class","info"]

MERIT POINT (MP) SYSTEM



THE MP SYSTEM will be utilized in your single prelude thread for "The First Wave". The MP System is an event exclusive feature that rewards the writer with merit points for fulfilling particular objectives, prompts, and using on-site mechanics.[break][break]

This system is inspired by an older Pokemon site, Predormitum. On that site, they called it "War Effort Points (WEP)".[break][break]

The MP System is designed to encourage several things:[break][break]

[attr="class","ynospace"]
  • Rewarding acquisition and use of on-site mechanics (e.g. mega evolution)
  • Relieving anxiety around "winning" and "losing".
  • Exploration of character weakness and vulnerability.
  • Development of character relationships and connectivity.
  • Development of conflict, themes, and character motivation.
[break]

To earn MP, utilize the prompts listed in the box below. For best practice, keep track of your MP gain in your prelude in your notes.[break][break]

The limited mission, BEFORE THE FIRST WAVE, is not a MP thread.

NOTE: MP PROMPTS DO NOT STACK
[break][break]

MECHANIC-BASED MP

[attr="class","ynospace"]
  • 10 MP using a gimmick (e.g. mega, z-move, tera, sygna, avatar) in your prelude thread. only redeemable once.
  • 25 MP for knocking out another Pokemon in your prelude thread.
  • 50 MP for getting your Pokemon knocked out in your prelude thread.
  • 100 MP for getting your Pokemon killed (does not stack with KO) in your prelude thread.
[break]

NARRATIVE-BASED MP (REDEEMABLE ONCE)

[attr="class","ynospace"]
  • 50 MP have an antagonistic exchange of dialogue between your character and another writer's character or NPC.
  • 50 MP showcase your own character's strength(s) meaningfully.
  • 50 MP have your character directly or indirectly spotlight another writer's character's strengths.
  • 50 MP have your character be injured by another's pokemon directly or indirectly.
  • 50 MP have your character "hit rock bottom" (their lowest point).
  • 50 MP have your character self-doubt or cast doubt on another's confidence/allegiances/beliefs, etc.
  • 50 MP have your character reflect on why they're fighting/reflect on their loyalties.
  • 50 MP have your character become inspired or consoled by another writer's character (tag them).
  • 50 MP have your character make a regrettable decision.
  • 50 MP have your character make a sacrifice of some kind.
  • 50 MP have your character's Pokemon symbolize or represent in some way, the condition of your character.
  • 50 MP showcase a meaningful moment between your character and their Pokemon.
  • 50 MP have your character experience great fear, hatred, envy, or have a grudge worsen.
  • 50 MP have your character experience great pride, joy, relief, or have confidence grow.
  • 50 MP have your character recall a past thread or event that they have participated in or not (link the thread).
  • 50 MP include a motif or recurring symbol of some kind in your thread.
[break]

POST/COMPLETION-BASED MP
[break]
[attr="class","ynospace"]
  • 10 MP per IC post in your prelude thread.
  • 100 MP for completing your prelude.
  • 200 MP for "winning" or having a "positive" outcome for your character and their prelude.
  • 250 MP for "tying" or having a "neutral" outcome for your character and their prelude.
  • 300 MP for "losing" or having a "negative" outcome for your character and their prelude.



The BARE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF MP RECEIVED from a completed prelude thread should be 350 MP.[break][break]

Writers must decide whether they want to spend or save their characters' Merit Points for MP shop purchases and/or for future events utilizing MP.[break][break]

WARNING: Ensure that you are fulfilling these prompts meaningfully out of respect for your own writing and your writing partner's. Attempting to shove every single prompt into a single thread will likely result in a choppy, incoherent and incohesive narrative.
