Field Maneuvers: Rules of Engagement
Loose Lips Sink Ships has an optional game component wherein players can earn points, and points can be used to gain rank, bragging rights, and graphics.
To earn one point: Fill any prompt by creating a qualifying work and posting it to the masterlist.
To earn two points: Fill one of Colonel Kink's Memorial Prompts with a qualifying work, or fill a prompt fitting Colonel Kink's Theme of the Fortnight with a qualifying work. They must be filled before the next newsletter is released.
A Qualifying Work is a complete fic in English of at least 1000 words (chapters or parts of a story do not qualify), or a polished piece of art not drawn on lined paper, or a vid that is at least 30-seconds in length. It must be a new work, not a repost.
Colonel Kink's Memorial Prompts will be selected at random from older, unfilled prompts, and posted in the Mail Call newsletter on Dreamwidth and Tumblr every 14 days.
Every fifth Mail Call, memorial prompts are replaced by Colonel Kink's Theme of the Fortnight. Any fill posted that complies with the theme of the fortnight will be worth two points, no matter what prompt it's created for.
To indicate that your work is intended to fill the memorial prompt or theme of the fortnight, submit to the masterpost from the prompts page as normal, but make sure to check the box on the submissions page reading: "This fill counts for Field Maneuvers' Memorial Prompt/Theme of the Fortnight."
3 Points: Second Lieutenant
9 Points: First Lieutenant
18 Points: Captain
30 Points: Major
45 Points: Lieutenant Colonel
69 Points: Colonel
85 Points: You get one free trip home, or to the Korean Peninsula*
*Offer not valid in Quebec or Puerto Rico, or anywhere else. Participants must be 18. Participants must understand that we're joking.
With each rank increment, participants will receive a 100x100 icon with the appropriate rank flash and their username. Scores will be announced every fourteen days in Mail Call.
To opt into the game, please comment in reply to this post. You must include the username you plan to post fills under. If you have posted fills to this meme prior to signing up, you may retroactively claim them for a value of one point per fill. Please mention what fills you'd like to claim.
If you don't want to play any more, please comment with "I hereby resign my command, effective today. Signed, [username used to submit fills]," or private message this DW account.
