___________________THE GUIDE TO THE JOBS SYSTEM___________________
Here is your guide to the Jobs System! Jobs are our way of helping you meet your RP requirements in a fun and interesting way as well as to flesh out our world just a little bit more. We realize that many people have road blocks when trying to come up with RP ideas so we hope you take advantage of these!
Jobs may be done alone or with a group and will always have a reward other than getting an RP done! Jobs are one of the ways you will be getting the points needed for your Infamy and Fame. They are also a fun way to have a character battle as we do scatter them through out the jobs to include some danger and excitement!
Items can also be used in the jobs, and we recommend you visit The Guild Shop often to see what items there are for you too use. Some Jobs will only be accessible if you have a map or specific item, some of which may be on sale in the shop!
Remember that each completed job will result in one complete RP Requirement for growth as long as you've written 500+ words, unless otherwise stated. Along with that, it can help you obtain points, nox and other fun things to dress up your character's profile even more!
Now that that's said, below will be a "how to do a job" , where to go when you have finished, and some general rules of doing jobs.

___________________THE RULES AND REGULATIONS___________________ » rules
Abide by all Gaia ToS and Nocte rules.
Nocte's rules can be found here.
Do NOT delete posts. That is cheating and will not be tolerated. You will get a warning if you're discovered to have deleted posts in your Jobs. After that, a second warning will be issued. If the problem persists, you will be banned from Jobs completely and no matter how many you complete, it will not count towards your Growth Requirements.
» limits
There is a limit to how often you can do ajob. Unless specified, this means you must wait 2 months before you are able to do the same job and get the rewards! Once the months have passed, you can do the job and get all the rewards again. We will be counting the months starting from when you posted in the Finished Jobs thread.
xxxxxSome jobs will have a different wait time, it will be mentioned in the job if this is true.
xxxxxShould you try to do the same job again before the wait time is up, the only rewards you can get are ones you failed to attain earlier.
Make sure you meet all the requirements to do a job! Some are restricted to certain ranks or pathways. If the adventure says Denizen only, than only pure Denizens or Hybrid Denizens may attempt it. If the job is restricted by pathway, then only one on that pathway may attempt the jobs.
Some jobs will require you to have an item to do the job. This is often a map or rune, and you must have at least 1 per group in order to attempt the adventure! Should the group split up, then each smaller group will need that item or you will get lost and will be required to quit the job.

___________________ETIQUETTE___________________ » playing nice
These jobs may be done with others, as such you need to be aware that there may be conflicts. Please do not deliberately antagonize others or take out your RL frustrations through your character.
If someone is being rude and mean and you find it offensive, please realize that it could just be their character and not them. PM them first and ask if they could tone it down some and find out if that is their character's rudeness or theirs that they are posting. If they continue to offend you with their posts but let you know that it is how their character would react in the situation, then it may be best for your character to find a way to leave the adventuring party. Try to do so in a way that doesn't leave the group in a lurch! Finding a replacement to take your spot is the best way out. We would prefer that you stuck it out to the end but we do understand if you need to leave the adventure.
For those of you who have a character that is mean and rude, please let your job party know before hand so that they know it is the character and not you offending them! Also, try to tone it down so its not too offensive, we want these adventures to be fun, not a source of drama. We do realize that some people may like a little drama and fighting in their RP's, and that is fine, but let others know what may happen so they know beforehand what they are getting into!
If one player is god-modding or making other people's characters do stuff in their RP, I suggest you try to pm the person and ask them to stop or pm a staff member about the problem and let us deal with any drama. Do not take any possible drama to the main thread, keep it in PM's please.
Please be aware that there needs to be a post order and do not post outside of the order unless you think the other person has abandoned you, in which case you need to read the replacements section below. The post order is a nice way to make sure everyone gets a chance to explore the room and chat. Feel free to stay in one room for a while and RP, you do not need to speed through an adventure; as a matter of fact, we'd prefer it if you had fun and took your time since we spent a lot of time making these for you to play in.
Each group should have a leader. This person will be responsible for moving the group along and reminding people that you have an adventure going on. It is not a requirement, but a suggestion. He or she would decide the posting order and if there is a tie of which path to take and you don't wish to split up, then the leader's choice should be taken. If the majority wants to go a different path than the leader, then the group should go with the majority's decision.
» replacements
If for some reason someone stops posting and the do not respond to any of your quotes in the main thread or pm's, please pm a staffer to let them know the situation, and then continue the adventure.
There are two ways you may go about this. You may act like the other character is still there, but they will do nothing. Perhaps you can pretend that they are sleepy and can barely keep up with the group. Then you can RP that they need to be baby sat and can use it as an RP tool. However you wish to go about keeping the character in the group you may so the RP can go on. You may all refer to the character, but no responses will be given. Even though the character is technically there, since the owner of the character isn't, this character simply becomes a "shade" of his/her former self.
The other way is to ask if someone wishes to take their place and have the other be left behind somehow. This option is only available if you are out in the open world of Magesc where someone could easily join up in the group. If you are in a dungeon or cave, then this option can not be used.
» the price of abandonment
Should you be the one to leave a party and you do not take the quit option that jobs have, then there is a price to pay. We do not want people dropping out of jobs, if you don't think you have the time to do a group job, then it may be best that you stick with solo's or very small groups until you feel that you are ready and have time for a long job with a large group.
From the point that you stop posting, you will get no job rewards, and you will not be able to do this specific job for an extra month on top of the usual waiting time. If you must abandon a job, please at least contact your group and a staff member to let them know! That way no one will hold a grudge because you just vanished.
You will receive all the job rewards that you have already gotten, but only if you post in the Finished Job thread. We will not be going through and giving out any rewards until you post there. We are willing to give them to you if you come back in less than a year. If you come back after a year's hiatus then for all jobs you abandoned before your hiatus and didn't post claiming your rewards, you will not receive anything.

___________________RATING SYSTEM___________________
The ratings are just a fun way to warn you of what you may be getting into. The higher the ratings, the higher the danger your character has to face and the more likely he/she might end up getting a penalty or being banished from Nocte.Ratings will be done in skulls: ☠☠ 1 skull means it will be easy and a very quick job and you should be done rather quickly. However since it is so easy the rewards won't be as good.☠☠☠☠☠ 5 skulls means this job is hard! It will probably take 1000+ words and probably more than a fair share of danger and risk of incarceration or banishment. It might also mean a lot more rewards for your character if you finished this.

___________________JOB CREATION___________________
Ideally it's an RP prompt which deals with doing a job in the city of Nocte or beyond (usually under one of the council people and imagine them speaking to your character and handing the job out to you) and should consist of
1. A Task to Do (From peddling drugs, to delivering a message to Mar Osta, or to even assassinating an character)
2. Conditions to write in the RP post of people doing the task (i.e. it should have a parts where you deal with peddler 1, and parts where there's a clean up or certain post coding to be done)
3. Rewards and Punishment you get upon completion of task (this is Infamy points, Fame points, Nox)
4. Dice roll if you either get through the task, go to prison, or get some sub-reward (i.e. roll a dice 1-10 if you get 1-5 then you succeed and if you roll 6-10 you fail and go to prison to serve community service)
5. Time allotted to either do this task or repeat this task again (not allowed to do this JOB until 1 month has passed...etc)
