Levels within the Tempters are based on roleplay ability and extra-clan relations primarily. We also take into account several other factors to a lesser degree though.
We use a point-based system to keep track of the characters in-house level. Simply you gain enough points, you gain the level. If you lose a level somehow, you have to start at the beginning of the previous one. Leaving the clan and then returning will result in a first level character. The character restarts from scratch. Note that a character's recognition level has no bearing on their rank in the clan, we are skill based, not time based.
Level one is less than ten points
Level two is ten to twenty-five points.
Level three is twenty-six to fifty points
Level four is fifty one to one hundred points
Level five is one hundred+ points
Earning points is different per occupation. For the Tempters/Temptresses they are accumulated as follows
Five points for signing of a treaty beneficial to the vTx clan.(class specific)
Five points for a declaration of war (must go through the Dark Council for this).(class specific)
Five points for participating in a trial either as defense of prosecution.(class specific)
Five points for each recognition level period the character has been a member of vTx.
Three points for starting a posting thread which develops into a storyline involving more than one other member.
Four points for starting a thread which turns into a storyline involving five or more members.
One point per witnessed duel against a non-vTx member.
Five points per recognition period without a GM warning.
Two points for a private storyline.
Special: Ten points for chaptering in a clan of more than ten members.
