So you've come to read up on our unique and super-cool Points System, hey? Well here it all is. (Was that even a sentence? Oh...no matter)

 

Each post should be 250 words or more per person. In other words, if you post alone, 250 words is all you need...for JP's, 250 each, or 500 words between two people, 750 for three, etc. If you post once in a given week, you retain your status. Two or more posts in a week, you get +5% added. No posts in a week, is -5%. The tables below will help us see the system more clearly, and keep track of where we all stand.

 

STATUS
% REQUIRED
WHITE
90%
GREEN
80%
BLUE
75%
YELLOW
70%
RED
60%

 

Any simmer that remains at Red Status for longer than one week will be reduced in rank, and if Heading a Department, replaced by the Assistant. There is NO excuse for letting yourself get to Red Status, and I doubt any of us will be dealing with it. Now, as promotions and awards points go, here's the break-down:

 

# of Weeks at White Status
Awards/Points
6 Weeks
+1 Promotion Point
8 Weeks
+1 Promotion Point
12 Weeks
+2 Promotion Points
16 Weeks
Captain's Award of Merit (Starfleet) / Civilian Excellence Award (Civilians) +2 Promotion Points (minor award)
20 Weeks
Outstanding Contribution Award +2 Promotion Points (major award)
24 Weeks*
Department-Specific Award +3 Promotion Points (major award)

* Once a simmer has been at White Status for 24 weeks, he/she is awarded .5 point/week for each additional week of White Status.

In order to be promoted, one must earn the required number of Promotion Points. Once an award, or points are earned, they cannot be taken away unless the simmer leaves the Starbase. Otherwise, all points and awards are perpetual. Below are listed the requirements for each level of promotion. If anyone is accepted at a rank higher than Ensign / Petty Officer 3rd Class, or Warrant Officer, they begin with the minimum number of points for that rank, but are not given the awards until earned.
