Novus November Writing Month
It's back! The November Writing Contest, that is. Make as many posts as you can within the month of November and you can earn some sweet prizes!
This event will run until November 30th at 11:59pm EST. Any posts made after that date will not count. Also, posts must have been made after the timestamp of this contest being posted in order to count.
Prizes:
Prizes will be given on a tier based basis. However, if you happen to reach above the top tier, you can start working up the levels as many times as you want. Prizes will stack. The levels are as follows--
• Top Novus Poster: the member with the most posts out of all will receive a special badge as well as their pick of a free interactive agora item
• Tier 1: 100 points = 1000 signos
• Tier 2: 75 points = 750 signos
• Tier 3: 50 points = 500 signos
• Tier 4: 25 points = 250 signos
• Tier 5: 10 points = 100 signos
Badges:
We are also introducing participation badges based on which tier you land on by the end of the contest. (Thanks @Katherine for the pixels!)

Earning Points:
Overall, points will be given per player. The character based ones are per character, but the points will go towards that player's overall number. Points stack unless stated otherwise. All posts must have been made after this contest was posted (11-01-2020, 12:31 pm EST) to count for points. You cannot claim anything retroactively. The cut-off will be November 30th at 11:59pm EST.
Any single IC post: +2 points
This includes closing posts and the character based ones below
A complete thread with an IC exit: +30 points
The thread must have been started and completed during the duration of this contest. The closing post still counts as +2, the entire thread counts as a +30 bonus
A first reply to an AW (all welcome)/open thread: +5 points
The reply must be a new post since the contest started and to a thread that has not had any posts yet (can't claim retroactively). This cannot be stacked with the normal +2 per post, you just get +5 instead for this reply.
The following can only be redeemed once per character per category:
Character interacts with a Novus creature (from fauna list): +10 points
Character uses a Novus herb for its intended purpose (from flora list): +10 points
Character uses their magic to help someone: +10 points
