We don’t read and write because it’s cute. We read and write because we are members of the human race And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. That you are here; that life exists, that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?

[attr="class","enc_head"]I. Member Credits

[attr="class","enc_sub"]What they are and how they work.

Your member credits are a form of forum currency that is separate from your character and used to improve character statistics through the purchase of items and goods. They can also be used for out-of-character items like custom side bar images.

Each account has their own member credits and they cannot be transfered between each other. This is to stop a member from roleplaying loads as one character but using the credits/points to bump up another who hasn't even been on the boards yet. The more you roleplay with each of your characters, the more they (respectively) can be given bonus material or items.

[attr="class","enc_head"]II. Gaining Credits

[attr="class","enc_sub"]How to increase your credits.

MONTHLY CASH UP
At the end of each month, the Aludium staff will process the in-character posts that each member on the site has contributed. The number of credits awarded is 3 times the number of posts. The credits are then added to the member's accounts by the staff and are then at your disposal to use, as you wish.

SPECIAL MISSIONS
You can gain extra credits, items and rewards by completing Special Missions. These are limited roleplayer plots that are advertised by Aludium staff and designed to be plot heavy. The reward for completing said threads is stipulated at the mission announcement and could be a number of things, including increased statistics or credits.

MEMBER TRANSFER
Members can transfer money between each other. If a member has done something particularly nice, or made you a graphic, or given you feedback on your writing (for example) you might want to reward them by transfering them some of your credits as a thank you. Just remember that Member Transfers are different from In-Character Trading.

IN-CHARACTER TRADING
While your Strength, Agility and Defense cannot be traded or bartered, your character's Wealth is open for use. Maybe you need to bribe someone to let you into a private location. Perhaps you rob someone of their purse (with their creator's permission of course) and need to transfer their money into your pocket. You can do this through the Emporium also, but remember that this form of trading requires your Wealth and not your user Credits.

SPREADING THE WORD
You can also gain credits by helping out staff team to advertise Aludium across the internet. We offer credit rewards for each time our advert is posted out on a forum. You can read more about how to do this on our Affiliate With Us page.

We don't just ask our members to post our name about the place for free! For every time you place our ad out on a forum somewhere, you can claim +10 Credits. Simply send the below form to the admin team each time you post the ad (you can post several in one form, if you've posted it more than once) and your advertising credits will be added to your final monthly total, ready for the monthly payout.

While site advertisement is part of the responsibilities for each staff member role, staff members can also claim the +10 credits per advertisement posted.

[attr="class","enc_head"]III. Using Credits

[attr="class","enc_sub"]How to spend your credits.

IMPROVE YOUR CHARACTER
You can use your member credits to purchase in-character items at the Aludium Emporium, in order to improve your character's statistics. You purchase these items with credits and they are then transferred to your back-pack. The reward/improvement that the item gives is then added to your character's statistics.

IMPROVE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
See Member Transfers, above.

IMPROVE YOUR PROFILE
You can use your credits for member-use as well as to improve your character. In the Aludium Emporium you can purchase out-of-character items such as personalised side bars (the coloured bar beside your mini profile), or additional tools like items that increase how many credits you can accrue in each Monthly Cash Up. For a full list of the out of character items, go to the Aludium Emporium.
