Claiming:Camp

General Rules:

1. Provide one god parent choice if you are creating a demigod. As a friendly reminder, being a child of a big three gods provide no advantage over a child of a non-big-three god (major or minor)!
   • If your chosen god parent choice is Athena, do keep in mind that Athena is a virgin goddess. Her children are conceived through the union of her and her partner's minds via a deep intellectual connection. As such, she does not conceive her children through means of physical mean nor does she give birth in a regular manner (her children fall out of her head).
2. Please take a look at our cabin list for all the demigod god parents that are allowed at camp. If a character is formerly a demigod, i.e., a huntress or nymph, we allow exceptions for others god parents.
3. To mitigate any metagaming, keep in mind that a character can only have already been at camp for no more than two weeks.
4. Claims are only allowed to be WIP for 7 days. Any claim that has not been completed after 7 days is subject to deletion.

Our most recent, accurate amendments to the claiming guidelines/standards can be found here.

Things Not Allowed:

1. While Stygian Iron metal can only be used by children of Hades/Pluto in the books, weapons made of Stygian Iron is limited for use to children of a handful of underworld gods. A list of such gods can be found here. Please bear in mind that Stygian Iron functions exactly the same as Celestial Bronze to ensure parity between the cabins.
2. Children of Artemis or Hestia are stricly not allowed as they are strict virgins and we cannot provide any exceptions. Children of Hera in camp are limited to winners of Character Contest for the month of February 2018. Otherwise, her children can only be members of the Broken Covenant.
3. Unless they are priests, hunters of Artemis, or have turned into nymphs, non-cabin demigods are not allowed in camp. This is due to out of character issues, although in character, we assume every God has a cabin due to Jason's promise.
4. DO NOT make your character page until your character has been approved. If you create a character page before having a character claim approved, the character page will be subject to deletion. Repeated offences are in breach of our policies and can be grounds for a warning.

Level System:

We have a level system which dictates how many characters a user may have based on how long they've been here since their first character has been claimed. Demigods are considered major characters, all other species are considered minor. We do not put a limit on how many minor characters a user as long as it's within reason. However, you do not start levelling up until you have either gotten your first character claimed or adopted a character.

Note: Camp major character spots can be switched for Broken Covenant major character spots if you so choose.

• Entry Level: All new users start out as an Entry Level user. They have access to one camp major character spot and unlimited minor character spots for the first week you are here.
• Level One: A Level One user has been here for a week after their first character has been claimed! They now have access to 2 camp major character spots.
• Level Two: A Level Two user has been here for two weeks after their first character has been claimed! They now have access to 3 camp major character spots.
• Level Three: A Level Three user has been here for three weeks after their first character has been claimed! They now have access to 4 camp major character spots and 4 Broken Covenant character spots. They may now join quests that are led by someone else.
• Level Four: A Level Four user has been here for four weeks after their first character has been claimed! They now have access to 6 camp major character spots and 4 Broken Covenant major character spots. They may now lead their own quests and can challenge for positions of power at camp.
• Level Five: A Level Five user has been here for five weeks after their first character has been claimed! They now have access to 8 camp major character spots and 4 Broken Covenant major character spots.

All Nymphs have specific traits or life forces that only pertains to their subspecies and in order to be claimed, the character must fall into the requirements. More rules and regulations could be found here.

1. All meadow, water (sea or freshwater), tree, and flower nymphs/spirits need to be attached to a life force. A flower nymph would need to have a specific flower or bush that grows flowers as a life force and a freshwater nymph would need a specific body of water to be attached to, whereas sea nymphs are just attached to the sea in general.
2. Any created nymphs would not have a last name.
3. Erotiads/Erotios are born full grown from the romantic bond of a specific couple. If the couple breaks up, the nymph/spirit dies.
   • If one of the partners die, then the nymph/spirit will experience mood swings and their powers are weakened.
4. Mortiads/Mortios are created by gods with a scope related to death (i.e., Melinoe, Thanatos or Hades) as a result of an event of mass deaths after 1939 as the first Matriarch Mortiad was created from World War II and the Holocaust.
   • Only one nymph/spirit is allowed per event.
   • The event must have a death toll in the thousands.
5. You can sign up for one of the animal nymphs/spirit spots here. Each animal is limited to 4 animal nymphs and a user is limited to 3 animal nymphs! While animal nymphs do not need to go through the claiming process, please make sure all that all of the guidelines are followed!
6. The powers for all of our nymph and spirit types can be found here. Please do not add or change any of the powers!
   • If a nymph/spirit is a former demigod, they will only have access to their nymph powers and none of their demigod powers.

The following is a list of information that are required for claims (aside from those noted as optional):

From time to time, users may put their characters up for adoption to find their a character a new owner. If you are having trouble coming up with a idea and/or writing a history for a character, but would like to roleplay a new character. you may want to adopt a character. These characters can be found here. If you see a character that you'd like to adopt, you should contact the owner of the character (which can usually be found somewhere on the page).

Note to anyone putting a characters up for adoption: If a new user adopts a character, there's no way for the admins to know that the user needs to be added to the Users & Characters page. So, if a user adopts one of your characters, please add them to the page or contact a member of the HR department. Otherwise, the user will be stuck from levelling beyond Entry Level.

Claims are run by the Claiming Department. Please keep in mind that we are here voluntarily and we do not get paid to run this site. Because of this, many of us have real life responsibilities that need to come first! We promise to take a look at your claims as soon as possible, but badgering us will not get them looked at any sooner.

These are users who are not in the Administration Team! They have permission to check claims and help get them ready to be approved by a user from above, so you may see them commenting on claims.

1. -

When approving claims, especially claims for new users, if you do not add them to the Users/Characters List there will be no way to know when to level them up, that includes adding a "will become a level blah on blah/blah". Which is 7 days from when their claim is approved. If you are not able to do this, don't bother approving claims, because by not doing this new users are getting lost in the shuffle never levelling up appropriately and in the past some have even left the wiki.

There are help tabs below, as well as this video

The admin team is very busy with life right now and cannot always look over claims on a consistently regular basis. We apologize if claims take too long to be checked/approved, but we promise to attend to it as fast as possible and when we have spare time. Please bear with us.

~Management Team

Some VERY important things to remember when working in claims:

1. ALWAYS check older claims first, which means going to the bottom of the list
2. Try to check claims based on who edited them last, for instance, you know Demi is a claim worker/Admin, if you see that she's already checked a claim as the last editor, do not edit the claim when there's other claims that need attention. I've seen a lot of users avoiding claims that actually need to be checked, by adding more comments or unneeded edits to claims that the claim owner hasn't even edited yet. One time two claim workers edited a claim after I already left two paragraphs of notes, even though there were like 20 other claims that actually needed to be checked.
3. A lot of us actually use the last edited column to see what claims need attention, if I see that an Admin is listed as the last editor, I will assume that it doesn't need to be checked, then come to find out all they did was add a category, and the user waited over a week and nearly had the claimed deleted for inactivity, even though it wasn't their fault, the Admin didn't leave any new notes, just added a category.

Please remember, claims are the heart of this wiki, the life blood that keeps us an active wiki, without new users making claims, the wiki would eventually grow stagnant, it is imperative that we tackle these claims as a team and in an orderly and fair fashion.
