If you know me well, you will know that I like graphics, yes, and lots of them! I use them for all sorts of things, and I now have some new graphics for all of us writers to use. Thanks to Tomb for the inspiration for these, I think they look quite good! Don't just go ahead stealing them whenever you feel like it though, these badges and ribbons take great work and exhaustion! Only few will ever reach the highest ranks, probably not even me... But I want you to try! That's what Communications is all about, keeping the ball rolling!
Also featuring in this announcement is the new staff awards! Me and the Communications Management Staff will be arranging the awards, and you (the staff) will be able to nominate people and vote for people! There will be a handy table below detailing each award.
I'll also show you what you need to do to achieve each rank and how the newly introduced 'points system' works!
Points System
The points system is a new way of calculating the level of contribution a writer has to the ministry. Points are based on how many words per published article, so if you publish 3 articles all at a word count of 350, the points you'll be given will be determined by that. The table below shows everything you need to know.
