Play-by-post ground rules

I will post as GM every weekend. Each player who posts at least one response indicating action during the week will get 1 XP.  If the player does not post, that player does not get the 1 XP, but may still get XP for chapter participation as a whole. Not posting during combat or other high action events will mean that the character takes only defensive actions, such as crouching, seeking cover, etc.  Depending on game events, failure to participate in the game may mean that the character ends up back at base, campsite or on the ship until the player can rejoin the game. 

Experience points are awarded at the conclusion of each chapter.  I start a chapter by posting a brand new thread on the blog.  Responses to that post are part of the chapter.  Some chapters are going to be longer than others and may be more rewarding in the terms of experience points.
