Cycle 3

For months, the Brotherhood has been arming the Severian Principate with wondrous new goods. For months, shipments have been going missing. Pilfered by members of the Tenixir Revenants on behalf of the Brotherhood’s great enemy, The Collective, the Principate is now questioning why they have been short changed. The Revenants and Collective have been aided by corrupt politicians within the Principate itself.

Now with these missing goods noticed, and increasing attacks from the Collective (disguised as pirates and raiders) The Brotherhood must investigate, or risk losing their greatest ally.

Opening Fiction

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.

Pledge Form

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.

• 1st place: 4 points
• 2nd place: 3 points
• 3rd place: 2 point
• All other participants: 1 point
• Ties will be broken by the number of competitions entered, broken further by the number of higher placements

Trophy Progress

Progress towards the Seasonal trophy is awarded on a per competition participation basis and granted immediately when competitions are closed. This is determined by the listed "impact" of the competition.

Points by Impact: * Low - 1 point * Medium - 2 points * High - 3 points

Total Points Available for Cycle 3: 29 points
