Pro-Tip Thursday.. Friday Edition! Community Empowerment Achievements!

Pro-Tip Thursday- Friday Edition!  

Welcome Survivors!   Yes, this is a Friday edition of Pro-Tip Thursday.  Yesterday was super busy for me so you get a topic today.  And yes, as I went to sleep yesterday, I felt the disappointment of Sorento that I have failed to produce a pro-tip Thursday.  So, I woke up this morning with the determination to actually get it done!    

 Today’s topic is one that I enjoy, and I am looking forward to talking about!  

One of my most favorite things we have here in Dystopia Rising Arkansas is a community of people that care for each other.  We come together to play this game and tell stories with each other.  Like any community we argue with one another from time to time, but overall we care about each other and try to uplift each other.  

 

Every game we play together, we see our players go the extra mile for each other. This is the power of our community.  We see the players who uplift each other and I know that you do as well.  Luckily, we have a way of saying thank you to these players.  That method is called Community Empowerment Achievements! 

Let's begin this conversation by going to the book and checking out page 138. 

Community Empowerment Achievements (CEA’s) are achievements that can only be awarded if you are nominated for them by your community.  At the end of our November game, we awarded some to players who we felt were going the extra mile. Those were nominated by the staff. But YOU can nominate players as well.  

This can be done on our website at:

There are Six CEA’s that can be awarded. 

  1. Natural Leader:  

  2. Combat Veteran 

  3. Wasteland Mentor

  4. Oh Captain

  5. Friend To All 

  6. Compassionate Guard

Now I could type all of the descriptions out or… Or..  you can go read them on page 140 in the book…   That is a lot of typing for me.. And I am lazy…  so go read… 

Once you have read the descriptions. Think about who in our community fits that description. Then refer them for it. 

Every game you read about awesome things that people do for each other at the game. This is another way to say thank you and you are awesome. 

Now you all know that We are looking for people to be guides for next year. All guides automatically receive a CEA.  It's part of the national guide award program. Because guides are just so super awesome they just naturally help the community! Hint Hint… 

So these CEA’s come with perks that you can use with specific items just like the Professional Focus Achievements (PFA’s) you can earn through game play.  So they are worthwhile to earn.  

It's hard to not get super sappy about how awesome I feel our community is. We are not perfect but we are trying to get better every game.  These awards help show we see what people are putting into our community.   This is the icing on the cake of playing to uplift each other.    

It has been another great year here in DR Ark.  

As always, “ We are, Because you are.” 

Till Next time my friends! 

See you in the waste!!
