What are CAPs?

Community Action Points is a system of thank-you and rewards that exists to thank players that work to make the community of Dystopia Rising a better place. These points can be spent on a list of things that will enhance their in-game experience.

The goal of this program is to offer a way to show that the gamerunners of Dystopia Rising branches appreciate people who want to make things better for those around them. We want to reward them with the thing that we all came here for: fun!

CAPs are branch specific, so someone earning CAPs in one branch is only be able to spend them in that same branch. We want people to take part in helping whatever community they are currently in and not just the one they are from.

CAPs can be combined from several players to receive a group reward. In addition, you can choose to spend your CAPs to give a reward to someone else. This is so any player can tip their CAP to anyone in appreciation.

HOW TO RECEIVE COMMUNITY ACTION POINTS

Community Action Points are gained by giving back to the other players at events. We at Dystopia Rising believe that the only way for a community to grow positively is for all of us to be doing our best to help the people around us. With that we want your achievements in positivity to be rewarded; we have re-developed a system where you can earn a badge of honor that you can spend on all kinds of things.

Below are the amounts that CAPs can be awarded:

  • Thank You! - 10 CAPs

  • Above and Beyond - 25 CAPs

  • Life Saver - 50 CAPs

  • There Are No Words - 100 CAPs

  • Extra Casting - 10 CAPs per hour

  • Guides - 40 CAPs per event attended, for being great

Please note that above are static amounts. Only one award may be given per instance.
