To encourage greater activity and productivity here on Ultimate Shinobi, we shall be introducing Monthly Objectives! Within each month, there shall be a certain task or goal that Member's will be able to have a chance of achieving along with a certain reward upon achievement. These rewards may vary from extra Available Funds, to bonus Mission Points or even doubling already existing rewards. We are happy to announce April's objective today and each time a new month arrives a member of Staff will update the forum on what the objective is.

Application April

April's objective is labelled as Application April, which means for all who are able to have their character application approved within April will receive a reward of fifteen EXP within their Additional Funds. Those who have already been approved within April are more than welcome to claim the reward, to do so, simply contact a Staff Member to have your reward added onto your Account. We hope you enjoy these monthly objectives and eagerly await the coming months.

Jutsu June

For every two techniques you buy, you will get a third technique for free. However, the cheapest technique, assumingly the lowest ranking technique, will be the one you receive for free. As an example, if you wanted to buy two A - Ranks and one B - Rank techniques, you would pay for the A - Rank techniques and receive the B - Rank technique for free. If you wanted to buy three A - Rank techniques, then only one of the A - Ranks would be free. When buying techniques with this promotion place the tag [Jutsu June] within your topic title to ensure Staff are deducting the correct amount of points from your account. As usual, this months reward only lasts for this month alone.

Malicious March

With the introduction of the Crime and Punishment System, we have decided to match this month's objective around the much loved and adored system.

Social September

As a means of encouraging interactions between role players all social topics including two or more people will receive an additional five bonus points to both their EXP and Available Funds upon evaluation. Additionally there will be a bonus of two points per person in the topic going to available funds only. For example a topic between myself, Adam and Darius (if one could ever imagine such a topic being completed within a year, let alone a month) would grant each of us our original score as per the evaluation plus five bonus points going to both EXP and available funds and an additional six going only to available funds. This only applies to threads started within the month of September.

Objectives October

Found below will be a list of objectives that one can incorporate into their threads to earn more points. Each 'objective' is worth 5 EXP and AVF. If all five are completed within the month of October, one also gets an additional + 6 AVF. These objectives do not have to be spread through 5 separate topics; if you can believably execute all five of them in one, then go for it! They also don't need to be taken literally -get creative when writing about them. Also, when putting up these threads for evaluation, make a note at the bottom that these objectives can be found there so the Eval Moderator does not accidentally skip them over.

An Example wrote:: The objective is, "start or get involved in a fight."

Bill let out a harsh breath as he eyed himself in the mirror critically. His shinobi uniform was neatly pressed, but still, things didn't look right.

"I'm hideous!" he shouted at his reflection, eyes glistening as they filled with tears, "Why can't I look like dad?"

His father was a masculine man of masculinity. He was strong and fast - which you'd never expect considering generally more brawny men ran slow - but he was the epitome of Herculean. Bill wished he was more like his father and not his pansy-tottin' mum that cried over a broken nail. Why was he so worthless? Why couldn't he be a badass like his old man? A single tear rolled down the puny shinobi's face as he stared at himself in disgust. He hated himself. Punching the glass he let out a squeal of pain before realizing that it hadn't even shattered. Seriously?

In this tiny example, poor Bill is in a fight with himself.

The Objectives.

Start a fight or Get involved in a fight
Do something selfless
Embarrass oneself
Learn something new
Say something or Do something one will regret later

NOTE: These objectives cannot be repeated. One can only earn 25 EXP + 31 AVF in TOTAL from this event.

Noob November

This month's objective is dedicated to encouraging interaction between the higher and lower ranked characters in the member base. Simply put, every topic in which a higher ranking character assists a character of a lower rank will gain a bonus of 5 EXP and 2 AF per topic (5 MP and 2 AF for missions). This assistance can be done in many ways; the most obvious example being by taking a low ranking Shinobi on a mission or helping someone learn a new specialty. Simply state 'Noob November' in the evaluation topic as a reminder for Evaluation Mods to decide if the situation warrants bonus points and subsequently award them to you.
