A Writer (not to be confused with a PC) may accumulate 'Renown' over the course of numerous instances.
"How do I earn renown, Aru-san?" - Well that's simple. At the conclusion of each instance, I will create an out-of-character thread dedicate to the purpose of giving members an opportunity to constructively discuss one another's writing. This can include grammar, style, character construction, and plot direction (and, you know, whatever else).
All discussion must remain positive. Even if you think someone did a terrible job with their character or writes like an 'r-tard,' you need to phrase it in such a way that helps them and doesn't make you sound like an a-hole. This 'End-Game Discussion' thread will remain open until the beginning of the next Instance. At that time, everyone who gave constructive input to their fellow Writers will receive a value of Renown between 1 and 5. Writers will receive at least 1 Renown for any degree of input, even if it's just to say "Hey, man, I really liked your character and think you did a great job with X, Y, and Z." You can be generic with your praise, but you at least need to show you read it by citing an example or two.
On top of receiving Renown for providing constructive feedback, all Writers will receive 1 to 3 Renown for participating in the Instance. Therefore, it is possible to acquire up to 8 Renown per Instance.
"Okay, I have some points...what do I do with these?" - As you may be aware, there is no stat system in this game. Instead of bolstering your PCs' attributes, Renown will affect the character creation process. At the beginning of an Instance, a writer may 'spend' Renown to enhance their character's in-game station.
As mentioned earlier in the information, all characters should come from some common, lowly (or otherwise non-influential station). Renown allows you to make characters who carry more importance, whether its economic, political, or otherwise. There is no flow chart for how spending Renown works--it's a 'basis by basis' deal.
Whether you choose to spend it or not, a sort of 'lifetime' renown will accumulate for all Writers. Lifetime Renown cannot be spent and these values will be listed in the form of a leader board and many accolades shall be had by all.
