Experience points are given on a weekly basis, and your experience rewards are based on how much you have played and interacted with other characters and plotlines.
1 experience : 1 night of play, minimum interaction
2 experience : 2 to 3 nights of play, some interaction
3 experience : 3+ nights of play, considerable interaction with
players and plotlines.
Players must request XP every week using the !requestxp command, before Sunday at Midnight. Any XP request made afterwards will be considered for the following week. Additional bonus XPs can be awarded solely at the discretion of the Storytellers.
Spending Experience
Players do not spend their own experience or update their own sheet. All XP spends must be approved by a Storyteller, and only they can record and adjust your experience pool. You cannot use any ability that is not on your sheet. Doing otherwise will result in us being... cranky.

Experience Caps
Our game implements caps on how much XP a character can gain per week, depending on how many experience points that character has.
| Current Total XP | Max XP Per Week |
| 1-150XP Total XP | 3 XP Per Week |
| 151-250XP Total XP | 2 XP Per Week |
| 251-300 Total XP | 1 XP Per Week |
| 301+ Total XP | 0 XP Per Week |
Character who start having their XP capped must be just as involved to gain their experience. A 1XP per week character cannot play for one night per week and still gain 1 XP like a starting character can. 1XP is given for the level of activity that is normally awarded for 3XP.
Once your character has reached the point where it gains no XP per week for simply roleplaying, the only way to get additional XP is to be awarded it by the Staff, at the Lead Storyteller's discretion. This reward (which is a maximum of 1 XP per week) is given for high-XP characters who are actively involved in plotlines or city politics.
