Syliran Order Shield Points and Rank Promotion Request

The Shield and Sword Point System

The Shield and Sword Point System is used to keep track of the standing those associated with the Syliran Knights. Be they a Squire or a fully fledged Knight these points represent a multitude of things.

First and foremost Shield points represent reputation. A player’s standing amongst the Knighthood. The amount of points that a player has can be translated into how they are regarded by NPC Knights when approached by them. A player with a high amount of points may be regarded with an equally high amount of respect whereas a player with a very low amount or even negative points may be regarded with slight distaste or stiffness.

Sword points on the other hand are a reward system for doing knightly deeds in the city. For every positive shield point, a knight or squire character will receive that many Sword points. However, recieving negative shield points do not cause negative Sword points. PC's can then redeem various rewards in exhange for Sword points.

Please note that both Shield and Sword points must be tracked in the character's CS and it should be thorough where each point is gained and where it is used. There are severe consequences for players who try to cheat this system though, including but not limited to stripping all points from the PC, removal from the knighthood IC and OOC, and banning from playing in Syliras.

How to gain/lose Shield Points? :

Positive points:

Honorable Deed Points:
+1 to +5 points for training threads. In case of Solo, minimum of 4 decent posts (400 - 500 words each posts).
+2 to +6 points for patrolling. This only applies to actual patrols, if they say my PC spend all day patrolling and now he's going to train. Nope. If they say, my PC spend all day patrolling, and now he's going to the stallion, nope. For points in this, they have to actually patrol in a thread. In case of Solo, minimum of 2 - 3 decent posts (400 - 500 words each posts).
+1 points for threads with their patron. The patron must be in a significant part of the thread.
+2 to +10 points for helping the people of the city. This could be in quest, modded threads, or something they did in their own threads. Solving disputes, breaking up brawls, hunting bandits, helping with a difficult task with no promise of reward, altruistic deeds, taking people to the tank, etc.

Cash-In Process :

Rewards :

Punishments :

Important notes:

-Shield points can only be awarded to threads made after 7th of October 2013 in IRL calendar. Flashback also counts if the PC was already a Knight/Squire back when the FB took place, the thread's IRL date just have to be later than 7th of October 2013. Exceptions are only applied for Knighting Quests that had been started before the aforementioned date.

-All Knight/Squire PCs must keep track of their own Shield Points in their CS as well.

-Please also inquire here if you are Knight/Squire, but your name hasn't been listed.

-If a PC retires or IC-ly left the Knighthood, then their current points are considered null and void.

-Please include the source for all shield point awards. Also remember to award negative shield points separately for acts of dishonor.

For example, say a player was training with his patron and then went on patrol they would have three sources, Training, Threading with their patron and going on patrol. This might get broken down like so:

Shield points	Amount
Training	+4
Threading with your patron	+ 1
Patrolling	+2
Conduct unbecoming of a squire	-1

Or:
Shield points : +4 (training) +1 (patron) +2 (patrolling), -1 (conduct unbecoming of a squire) = 6 Shield points.
