Assignment Submissions:

- Submissions for Tribe assignments receive +10AP points plus whatever the normal points total would be.

    For example, say you drew a fully colored picture with a detailed background for a mission assignment. I would receive 4AP for the image and 10AP for it being mission related, giving my cat and my tribe +14AP! Same goes for written assignments and comic pages.



To earn the full AP amounts for assignments, the picture MUST feature your character. However, for non-assignment submissions, you can earn AP by drawing other artist's character too.

For those wanting to finish their assignments via comic pages, you only gain the +10AP once! All other comic pages gain the same amount of AP as if they were normal submissions even though they are still part of the same assignment.

Whats Does AP Do Exactly?

Ability Points determine how fit your cat and Tribe is in comparison to other Tribes and their felines.

- Character Ability Points: AP can be used to upgrades your character's abilities, such as leveling them up to be stronger. AP  can also be used to upgrades your armor, you can add more to your armor by taking away some of your points. So think of AP as money and abilities and other things as things to buy with it, or you can just accumulate it as you go.

- Tribe Ability Points: are points collected by all cats of a single Tribe and are used to determine how strong one Tribe is compared to the others. Character AP from all cats in one tribe are added together to get Tribe AP!

Characters Can Die!

How do I keep my character from dying?

As of recently, we've created a rule about death strikes. For assignments or checks, people with 3 or more characters only need to do HALF of their assignments. [Round up!] This was put into affect in order to still allow people to make a lot of characters and still be able to keep them. If you only get one or two of the assignments done, you can choose which character gets a death strike.
-3-4 characters = 2 Submissions
-5-6 characters = 3 submissions
-7-8 characters = 4 Submissions

-If you are inactive, there is a chance you will get a death strike. We try our best to call to your attention any assignments, but if you are having a hard time being active, do let us know. We will absolutely work with you so you and your character don't have to suffer!

Submit often and get AP!

Once a year we will try to hold a gathering so that all the Tribes may gather together and chat for a day. An RP journal will appear if this gathering is happening.

Assignment

-There are semi-annual assignments. Meaning there are only two mandatory assignments a year. The rest of the year, you may join missions, events, or prompts for extra AP!

- Characters that miss a assignment will be considered inactive and are given a "death strike"! For every assignment you miss after your initial first, your character will be given another death strike. Gather 3 death strikes and your character will be "killed" and will be sent to the spirit world. u.u

- Assignment submissions should be submitted to the "Tribe Assignments" folder
