Step 5: Will of the Collective - Vote on Mission Points
Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2019 1:15 pm
Welcome to step 5 of Will of the Collective VI! In the previous step, it was decided that Excalbia would have no special ability, which means the mission can have two full lines of requirements. But before we can decide the requirements, we are going to decide how many points the mission should be worth.
You might ask - why decide points before deciding requirements? And that's a valid question, because it could be done in either order. I've chosen to have you decide the points before the requirements because it gives you more control. If we'd done nominations and a vote for requirements first, the points would largely be dictated by those requirements and there would be little choice. By letting you set the point value first, I'm able to give you guidelines for the difficulty of the requirements and still give you the freedom to nominate within those guidelines.
With that being said, your job now is to vote on the point value of the specific mission. This poll will be up through Thursday, February 7th, giving you a full forty-eight (48) hours to cast your votes. Each of you will be able to vote for a single point, and you can change your vote at any time until the poll closes.
Because of the small range of choice, there will not be a runoff vote for this step. In the event that the top two choices are tied, a winner will be randomly determined.
Here is some general information about the requirements that would be tied to each point value option on this poll:
In the mean time, after you've voted, head over to the [url=viewtopic.php?f=24&t=37286]character vote[/quote] to decide which character we'll make that has "Excalbia" in their lore!
Happy voting!

Here is some general information about the requirements that would be tied to each point value option on this poll:
10 points - Trivial requirements such as a single skill, an attribute value, or a small number of personnel.
15-20 points - Easy requirements such as a single uncommon skill and/or a small attribute value, a common characteristic, or a small number of common skills.
25-30 points - Moderate requirements including 2-3 common or uncommon skills and an attribute total that can reasonably be met by a small Away Team. Might include an usual requirement (i.e. landed ship).
35 points - The gold standard, so to speak. Typically involves four skills and/or an attribute value that requires a medium sized (5+) Away Team. This is usually the place where unusual requirements become likely.
40 points - Stealable in OTF, generally requires one or more rare skills as part of its 4-6 skills. Attribute requirements can require very small numbers (<20) or require a large (8+) Away Team
45-50 points - Includes multiple rare skills, lots of skills at multiple levels, or rare or unique requirements such as an Artifact.
