CREDITS, REWARDS AND YOU
SOUL HEALTH RESEARCH & EXTERMINATION DIVISION
Credits & Rewards
Credits & Rewards
ET2-506C
You might be thinking: "man, everyone in the Soul Health Research & Extermination Division sucks." We get it. It’s hard to forgive the constant torture. But sometimes, the unthinkable happens and a S.H.R.E.D. agent experiences the foreign concept of a potential emotion.
Or they lost a bet and have to cough up some cash to assuage someone else’s guilt. Who knows. Being a S.H.R.E.D. agent is emotionally taxing, alright? Just accept the gift and keep your mouth shut. Or don’t! Maybe you’re getting this gift just to make someone else jealous.
Either way, you won’t know. Because you have no idea why suddenly there’s a drone dropping off a wrapped parcel for you. What’s inside? It could be any number of things!
How Credits Work:
For every comment you post in the game, you receive ONE Credit (text chats or short bracket-style posts).
LOG STYLE (prose-heavy) comments are worth TWO Credits.
Credits are DOUBLED during Experiments!
• Normal comments = TWO Credits
• Log-style comments = FOUR Credits
Additional Credits may be awarded during events. Keep an eye out for opportunities to earn extra luxuries!
How to Spend Credits:
Credits are redeemed for in-character rewards.
You may redeem them INSTANTLY, at your discretion.
Characters will NOT know who they’re from or why they’ve received them.
Accountability:
Players are expected to operate on the honor system.
Each month during Activity Check, provide a summary of what you’ve purchased and how many credits you’ve spent.
• Purchases LESS THAN 25 Credits: no verification needed.
• Purchases OVER 25 Credits: provide thread evidence. Just Post Herewith what you’re buying and include links to your proof.
There’s no limit on how many threads you use as evidence.
Pooling Credits:
Players may pool credits together for higher-tier rewards.
Each player may contribute as much as they want. There’s no limit on how many players can pool credits.
Notify the mods via PM if you intend to pool credits and include your proof.
Final Notes:
The goal here is to have fun. The honor system goes a long way.
Some rewards are intentionally hard to get. Some are so cheap they’re barely worth tracking.
If the system isn’t abused, you’re free to enjoy being creative.
Don’t see something you want on the list? Submit a request and we’ll go from there.

:: 10 CREDITS | TURD-ADJACENT ::
SURVIVAL
Self-Refilling Lighter:
Never runs out of fuel, lights with a single flick. But each time you use it, you notice a new, small burn mark somewhere on your clothing or skin.
Self-Refilling Water Pouch:
Provides a day’s worth of clean water. Each refill is ice-cold and refreshing, but occasionally tastes like hospital antiseptic
Gourmet Freeze Dried Meals:
Just add water for a warm and delicious dish that tastes exactly like a favorite meal from home. After eating, you’re plagued with the faint smell of home-cooked food wherever you go, making you constantly aware of what you’ve lost.
SHAREABLES
Paranoia Pie:
When sliced and served, one piece is colder than the rest. Whoever eats the cold slice feels like everyone at the table is talking about them for the rest of the scene, whether it’s true or not.
Pizza of Peculiarities:
Eight whole slices! You definitely won't feel the same after eating one of these. Your fingers are slightly longer. Your feet a little smaller. Your eyes closer together than they once were. Subtle. Peculiar. Appearances reset upon character death.
Slurring Stew:
Delicious. Hot. Filling. Your lips and tongue begin to tingle, as if numb, making speech difficult and hard to understand for the next 24 hours.
SELFISH LUXURIES
A stack of magazines or books you’ve always wanted to read:
Each is engrossing and comforting, until you reach the last page, which is always missing or torn out.
A Luxury Bath Set:
Soaps, salts, candles, and oils in your favorite scents. The water always feels perfect while you soak, but your skin tingles with cold the moment you leave the tub, no matter how warm the room.
A Personal Birthday Party Pack:
A slice of cake, a party hat, and a plastic fork. The cake tastes almost exactly as you remember from home, but the frosting has a faint metallic tang, and the birthday card inside simply reads, “THE CAKE IS A LIE.”
COMFORTS FROM HOME...?
A Memory Box of Keepsakes:
Allowing another to look inside grants them clarity or inspiration, but the owner forgets a happy memory until the keepsake is returned. The box develops new items from the user’s future if left open overnight
An Old Polaroid Camera
Each time you snap a picture, the photo reveals a scene from the future you would have had if you weren't here. Sometimes mundane, sometimes horrifying, sometimes impossible. The more often you use it, the more the images start to contradict each other. Old, unused photos slowly fade to show someone else’s fate instead.
A Blank Postcard from a Place You Always Meant to Visit:
Writing a message on it lets you send a feeling, inspiration, or warning to another player (even at a distance), but you lose the memory of why you wanted to go there in the first place.
P̷͗͝İ̴̜Ć̷͐K̷̀̆ ̵͘͝M̵̓͝Ȅ̸̕
A random surprise from someone who likes you!:
For better or worse, you're on their radar.
A random surprise from someone who does not...:
Geez, what did you DO?
This persons name was drawn out of a hat! Who KNOWS how they feel about you!:
You can only hope they're one of the...good...? ones?
