Achievements have been introduced to be a nice way to give an incentive to write and interact with the story and each other! I hope that the achievements are a nice way to seek out original and creative story lines that are enjoyable for everyone to read and write.

Posting achievements

Posting achievements have to do with the frequency, length and partnering in writing your stories on the Fawkes. It goes without saying that all of these will have to be attained in conjunction with high quality of writing that we hold ourselves to.

"Learning to walk" - Write and submit one post weekly for one month

"Hitting a stride" - Write and submit one post weekly for two months

"Born to run" - Write and submit one post weekly for three months

NPC Achievements

Without additional side characters the writing would quickly run the risk of becoming stale. As such these achievements are created in an effort to stimulate the creation and use of NPC characters.

"Deck hands are people too!" - Create an Deck Hand NPC and write at least one post with them.

"It's the journey, not the destination" - Create a Passenger NPC and write at least one post with them.

"Come here often?" - Create a Recurring Character NPC and write at least one post with them.

"Lend me a hand" - Write a joint post between your main character and someone else’s Deck Hand NPC

"You going where I’m going?" - Write a joint post between your main character and someone else’s Passenger NPC

"You look horribly familiar" - Write a joint post between your main character and someone else’s Recurring Character NPC

Crew Votes

At the conclusion of any major storyline we will open up a poll to decide on who the crew things deserves these achievements for contributions to the contract's main story. You can nominate any post by notifying the Command Staff.

"Open Mic Night" - Voted by the crew for having the most hilarious one liner, comeback, or joke in a post during the contract.

"Edge of our Seats" - Voted by the crew for having the most exciting action packed post during the contract.

"There's something in my eye" - Voted by the crew for having the most emotionally engaging post during the contract.

"Kind of a big deal" - Voted by the crew for having the best overall contribution over the course of the contract (requires at least 3 posts during the course contract).

Story achievements

These achievements are story centric and challenge you to develop your character in a variety of ways. Some of them will be achievable in a single post, others will require a bit more follow up. It's only possible to achieve one of these per post/series of posts that qualify.
