USS Yorktown Promotion Policy

Created by Captain Tobias Naros on Sat Apr 7th, 2012 @ 9:14am

The following is a brief guideline to promotion standards for the USS Yorktown.

===Out of Character: Promotion Guidelines===

Merits for Promotion are based on:

- High Quality of Posting as per the Pandora Posting Guidelines found in the database or on the Pandora Forums
- Regular Level of Activity as per the Pandora Activity Policy found in the database. Active members are better able to contribute to a simm and make the simming experience better for everyone.
- Contributions to the Simm both In and Out of Character including, but not limited to voicing mission ideas, suggesting simm improvements, starting JPs with initiative, and developing sub-plots alongside missions.
- Character Development -- No character will be promoted against the will of the player. Should a promotion or lack thereof play into your character's development, it will be taken into account.
