Power Points (GoE)

Power Points are what gods spend to perform major actions in the world. See the Actions page for more information on what those are. This page is concerned with PP.
Every god starts the game with a base level of 4PP. At each reset that god receives 4 more PP, with any unused PP being lost, with one exception. If a god doesn't have enough PP to complete an action in a given turn, they may begin that action and complete it next turn. However, the player must specifically state that they are allocating that PP for a specific action, they must not already have access to the PP necessary to complete the action, and they must complete that action as soon as possible after the reset. Such carry-overs only work for one week.
PP represents a god's power in the world. While a god doesn't need to be physically present in a location to perform an action, that action is still attributable to him or her. For example, the Greeks may be guided to go to war against the Trojans. Though the impetus for this is seemingly the mortal decision of Agamemnon, PP is spent on the command and that would trace back to Hera. This also means that PP may not be intentionally spent on actions that are contrary to the god's interests, though gods may be tricked into doing things that are against their interests.
=Increasing Base PP=
Every god starts with a base PP level of 4. This may be increased through several ways, listed below.
+1 Being active for three weeks in a row. If a player suddenly goes absent and then returns later, this bonus must be re-earned. However, if a player informs others that they will be absent for a period of time and attempts to generally tie up their loose ends in-game, this penalty would not apply.
+1 Being active in the game for a total of one and a half months.
+1 Being active in the game for a total of three months.
+1 Keeping the wikia up-to-date regarding the players/gods actions.
+1 For good roleplaying. This is assigned at the discretion of Admins and will usually fluctuate week to week.
+1 If one of the following three conditions is met: the god has established a holy site in the world and maintains it (this may be a church, a bit of land that is particularly sacred, etc); the god has developed an active animosity with another god; the god has developed a close relationship with another god. If none of these conditions are maintained, it is possible to loose this bonus.
