So, we now have achievements and an experience system. Both of these will still get refined in the upcoming days, but the gist is that the more active you are, the more achievements and experience you will get. See it as another way to motivate our users - soon I also plan to develop systems that will automatically based on your activity define the maximum extend of what you can RP in terms of power (stress, CAN, not must). Basically I want to encourage activity and don't believe in inactive superpowers. Inactive nations will naturally fade from the spotlight as their more active peers rise to prominence. Even then, if you play a city state, you are not expected to suddenly be a superpower, nor will you be able to suddenly convert your nation to one, as normal RP common sense still applies. See it as the maximum you will be able to RP, while opening up all opportunities below that treshhold.
As for the achievements, many of them are based on post count and whatnot and will be given automatically. For the RP ones, they can't be handed out automatically obviously, as a machine can't read your posts. I will open a thread where you will be able to apply for an achievement or suggest somebody else for one. You can access a list of current achievements from the navbar at the top, where you can also see other activities and statistics related to the experience system. If you gain an award or an achievement, they will show up in your profile and under your avatar in threads, and we are planning to give unique pictures to all achievements, making them a worthwhile and fun thing to collect.
Have fun!
