Projects

Projects are this game's way of representing a single person, or a group's, longer-term goals that might need admin work. This can range from doing the research to start a story, deciphering a secret code, to constructing a new town in an area, to creating a new custom card.

Overview

In order to commit to a project, you put in a +request with admin using the Project category.

+job/request Project/Decrypt this Book=I got an encoded book from Liminality in scene 1234. I want to decrypt it.

Admin will from there-on create a Project that is assigned to you. From there, you can invite others to aid you. Projects will have two components:

Concept Point Requirements

You must commit cards to the project. These can not be in your decks at that time, and will be taken from your ownership during that time, until the project is completed. This is to represent that your character is dedicating a (significant) amount of their time to this project, and would not be fully battle capable if distracted from this.

If you yourself do not have cards that relate to the requirement, you can seek out allies to help you with this. If you commit more points to it, it will influence the time it takes.

Minimum Concept Points: The minimum amount of card points committed to making any progress on the project. These are expressed per concept required. The ratio is important when you want to speed up a project, as you need to increase all concepts in order to improve the time.

Time

The amount of time that your project will take depends on the amount of Effort needed to do the work. Effort is an expression of both difficulty and the quantity of work.

Minimum Time: There is a Minimum amount of Time that you can't get around by putting in more Concept Points. You can refer to it as the 'too many cooks in the kitchen' time that you simply can't get around.

Initial Time: This is the amount of time the project will take, presuming you will meet the amount of Concept Points required. Doubling the number of committed Concept Points generally will mean a halving of the time.
