looking at the rules

Wardog's question really has two parts, one of which was not addressed.
A good example - Joe wrote his poor prononciation with the accompanying bad spelling.  If he was literate, IG, he would still speak poorly (or with an accent), but his spelling would be correct.  That is wat I believe Geoff just addresse/  The example given by Wardog is speaking in "cant" an affectation of an earlier form of speech, which still  might be in existence in some locals.  If your character speaks IG using words like "doth, thee, and thou" then methinks writing that would be his norm - but you set yourself a high bar.  What I think he menat (and correct me if I am wrong) if he really speaks using archaic/eclectic words/grammer should his posts follow in that vein - no accent involved?

Just to give a personal example, my grandfather immigrated from Russsia in 1905, and upon entering the USA spoke and wrote 4 languages, none of which was English.  To his dying day he spoke with a heavy accent, but did fill out the NY Times crossword puzzle in ink, and I only beat him in Scrabble one time in my life (and, not relavant to this, less than a handful of times in chess), and I used to play for money in college.

Wat ar yous guys taukin about?  If ya axe me, I dink yous is all nuts.

Go back to sleep, Gazgull.  You had a bad squig pot pie... again.

I thought of a good real-world example on the way in this morning.  Take the word for that wet stuff that you drink, use to wash, etc. - Water.

In Boston, one would pronounce it "Whatah"

In Pittsburgh, my aunt would call it "Woot-er"

Some would say that in Brooklyn or Jersey, it's "Waddah"  (As in "Rita's Waddah Ice")

But in all three regions, it's still written down the same way - "water".

Now, as said above, if you have a language pattern - something that is very formal, etc. - that's another story.  Just don't go overboard, or people will chalk you up as being silly and ignore you.

Well, I am back, I have been doing allot of reading on your web sight and I have once again, a few more questions.

Service Points:  I understand that 100 SP = 1 Build. Lets say I donate a large & small wooden chest. Can anyone give me an example of what the items are worth in SP?

Base Ratio: 1 Hour = 150 SP for example. Is that for IG [as a PC] or OOG [as a NPC]?

SP Assignment Awards:
NPCing for the Weekend:
If you NPC for the weekend, you receive the following benefits:
…you can earn +2 build for the event, on top of any additional build for Rping, Bought build or paying for your PC normally. I know, I did not include the entire post but it looks like I can get SP for playing as an NPC and for paying for my PC at the same time? Is that right?


The downloadable Rules how up to date are they? I ask due to the fact I have seen on a few post that you are updating it. Is it still a work in progress?


I will stop for now. Thanks for your time

The online rulebook is pretty up to date, Roy keeps it going and nice and shiny.

It's really hard to say how much it would be worth.  The best thing to do is bring it in and James will give an amount for it then.

Base Ration: Thats for NPCing that extra hour.

Thats correct though its for NPCing all weekend so your paying for your character but not playing him.

The large/small chests would be worth as per the SP conversion chart listed here:

So, 20 sp for every $1.00 spent on the item.  If that large chest was $20, it would be worth 400 sp.  Hope that helps.
