=Pledge OOC Policy=<br />
This page covers staff's stance on handling pledges, to keep it off of the super-spammy '''[[Pledges]]''' page.<br />
<br />
If you want mechanics, or want to see how to +req/pledge for pledges, please go to that page.<br />
<br />
==+Pledge Command==<br />
This command is for reference purposes only.<br />
<br />
No game system references it, so if you pledge for extra dots in a merit you already have, it is your responsibility to remember what you have pledged for.<br />
<br />
: To display a list of pledges to which you have access, type '''+pledges'''<br />
: ''(This command displays each Pledge #, Pledge Name, Pledge Type, Qty of Members, and Expiration Date.)''<br />
: To display an individual pledge on that list, type '''+pledge #''' where # is the number of the pledge.<br />
: ''(This command displays the details of the pledge, in addition to those above, including Tasks, Boons, Sanctions, Duration, and the names of all players who are on the pledge.'')<br />
<br />
To reiterate, <u>staff is not going to change your +sheet every time you set up a pledge</u>. No worries if you can't remember what your benefits all are, though -- that's what +note is for. You can set up personal +notes, too. +Note code isn't oooonly for things staff needs to see. :)<br />
<br />
==Freehold Pledge Exception==<br />
There is one glaring exception to this policy, and that is the Freehold pledge.<br />
<br />
At the time of this writing there are 75 PC members in the Freehold. If you check +pledge 2, you will see a lot of names.<br />
<br />
'''To avoid having 75+ lines show up every single time any one of you checks the pledge, staff has made an exception to the 'Nothing On Your +Sheet' policy.'''<br />
<br />
Don't have a pledge set up yet? Don't understand what that means? See below:<br />
<br />
Ordinarily, each and every one of those names would have a completely separate line entry in the list under Boons.<br />
:Jane Doe: Adroitnesses x3 (+3): Crafts, Survival, Weaponry<br />
:John Smith: Adroitnesses x3 (+3): Expression, Persuasion, Subterfuge<br />
:That Guy: Adroitnesses x3 (+3): Computer, Science, Occult<br />
:The Dude: Adroitnesses x3 (+3): Athletics, Brawl, Stealth<br />
<br />
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.<br />
<br />
This is how pledges are written, because each individual person in the pledge has the option to get boons which are different from every other person in the pledge.<br />
<br />
As you can imagine, row upon row of that would proooobably scroll your screen a good three or four times before it stopped.<br />
<br />
So!<br />
<br />
Exception.<br />
<br />
===Freehold Pledge Policy===<br />
* '''If you app in as part of the Freehold:''' <br />
:# Include your Adroitnesses in your app +myjob. <br />
:# Set a +note on yourself listing the three skills you are taking the Freehold Adroitnesses in.<br />
:: ''Staff will set your Freehold Adroitnesses on your +sheet in the Specialty section.''<br />
:: ''To apply your Adroitness to a roll, you can thereafter type it as: '''+roll wyrd+crafts.adroitness''' or, if you are applying another specialty, simply '''add it as a +1''' and explain to the others in the scene that you have an adroitness. If they don't believe you, you can +note/prove it to them.''<br />
:: If you forget, no worries. Staff will still approve you without it, but your job will need to be answered before they will close it out and stop nagging you. ;)<br />
* '''If you join the Freehold later:'''<br />
:# Include your Adroitnesses in the +myjob you create asking to join.<br />
:# Set a +note on yourself listing the three skills you are taking the Freehold Adroitnesses in.<br />
:: ''Staff will add your Adroitnesses to your +sheet and expect you to +note yourself as above.''<br />
:: You may go ahead and RP being part of the Freehold whether or not you are on the +pledge/+faction yet.<br />
