Cycle Plot Pledge

Members participating within a Season have the opportunity to make a pledge of their activity towards a desired outcome for each cycle. In this way, member participation drives the fictional developments throughout a cycle.

Each singular participation within a recognized pillar of activity within the cycle (Fiction, Graphics, Gaming) counts towards a desired outcome for a maximum of 3 potential votes. Miscellaneous competitions don't count towards an outcome.

Participation

Competitions in each Cycle are divided into competition types, or 'bins'. The first time a member participates in a competition in each primary bin, excluding Miscellaneous, in a Cycle it counts towards that cycle's fictional path pledge.

Any active member of the club can participate in any competition released under the Seasons umbrella. That includes members of the Council, so long as they are not running that particular competition. Standard participation rules apply as per relevant activity policies and the details of each competition. Additionally, there will be no Clan restrictions when it comes to any team competitions.

Placements

Members will earn novae based on top placements overall in each pillar of activity, represented by the bins, in addition to standard placement crescents. Additionally, they will be awarded at the container level.
