Doo Wop. Posts: 363 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: February 8, 2008	Probably one of the more difficult yet potentially powerful level-up systems is the Influence System. The Influence System utilizes Influence Points, or IP, to automatically give you money, abilities, and even little flunkies to aid you. How do you gain IP, though? Why, through missions and hunts, maybe even through battles. After objectives are completed, you will gain a certain amount of influence around the world, giving you money from leaders or admirers, training to give you abilities, and a multitude of other things. And since you can always gain more influence, the loop can continue on forever. Let's talk about the specifics. Attached is the list of things you recieve at certain points when you gain IP. Notice how next to everything is listed as "*x", where the star is the number. This means that at a multiple of the number, you gain that ability. For instance, since you get cel at every multiple of 50, your cel increases at 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and so on, so on. Next item to tackle are flunkies. Flunkies are little bots that follow your every order. You don't to IC verbally direct them, so you can simply type their actions as you take your turn. Flunkies are leveled up by ways you decide. Every time you get a "Flunkie Level Up" on the IP list, you gain an additional flunkie, plus all flunkies you have gain an additional level. See the Flunkie Levels list, also attached to this thread. Next are abilities. Since the users of the system have no way to spend points to gain abilities, you can instead train or modify yourself to get abilities at certain points. These abilities must be admin approved, and they must be at the varying power listed in strength of the ability. Other than that, what the ability is up to you. Also, you can gain weapons at certain levels. At this point, an admin will you give you a weapon they feel is equivelant to your IP amount and that seems to be something that you are proficient with. That is all the influence system has to offer. Hope this helsp in making your choice of the right system you seek.
