Community Achievement Points (CAPs)

Community Achievement Points is a system of thank-you and rewards that exists to give to players that work to make the community of Dystopia Rising a better place. These points can be turned in for things that will enhance their in-game experience.

This program aims to offer a way to show that the runners of Dystopia Rising branches appreciate people who want to make things better for those around them and want to reward them with the thing that we all came here for: fun!

CAPs are universally recorded in the Database: The number of CAPs received and turned in from anywhere in the network can be found on the players sheets, under the Perks tab.

How to Get Community Achievement Points

CAPs are given at the discretion of game runners to individuals who have gone above and beyond to contribute to the game in a positive way. This can be anything from helping, a fellow player to assisting game runners to make things happen.

Below is an example of CAPs awards:

  • Thank You: 10 CAPs

  • Above and Beyond: 25 CAPs

  • Life Saver: 50 CAPs

  • There Are No Words: 100 CAPs

  • Extra Casting: 15 CAPs per hour

  • Guides: 75 CAPs per event attended

How to use Community Achievement Points

CAPs are Branch Specific:
CAPs are branch-specific and only able to be turned in at the branch they were received. We want people to take part in helping whatever community they are currently in and not just the one they are from.

Good Standing: Individuals must be in good standing to receive awards from turning in CAPs.

Sharing: CAPS cannot be transferred from one player to another. However, you can choose to spend your CAPs to give a reward to someone else.

Community: CAPs can be combined from several players to receive a group reward
