OK, for clarification purposes.
This is NOT a competition saga. However, because it is faction-based, factions will have to win, and that means I have to have some way of "scoring". Basically, I'm going to be basing it off quality, but to keep track of my opinions I'm using numbers. These numbers will have little bearing on the final result if I feel that they don't represent the quality of you guys' RPing appropriately, they're just there to guide me/Piper/Szar in updating.
Now, the scale (for those who want to know) is one to ten, and then I add them all together and get the mean by dividing the number of faction members that have posted. Like, for example, after Belle, Vad, Piper, and Talon posted their posts for the gov't, their overall score was thirty-four. Getting the mean, it would be 8.5 overall. My post hasn't been graded yet, but say I got, like, an 8 and say that Alura got, like, a 9. We average them together and get 8.5, which would mean that right now, the government and the revolutionaries are at a stalemate. The Assassins would currently be losing with a score of 0, XD.
If I feel particularly impressed by people, they might have a bigger role in the update, or something.
As far as this goes, let me make clear that it is NOT a competition saga. I will simply be using quality measurements to judge which faction wins each encounter. There will be no eliminations based upon these scores.
Battles. There may be occasion where an opportunity arises for two PCs to be put into a fight. This fight can be to the death or not to the death, but at that point it becomes a separate fight whose storyline is intertwined with R&R and should be treated like a regular fight, including where it is sent to staff for grading and whatnot.
