Island Rankings
Every island resident, master and slave alike, is entered into the island rankings on arrival on Malvolio Island. A resident's place in the rankings is determined by points; all residents begin at zero, and may accumulate or lose points over time. The more points, the higher the rank, and the higher the rank, the more prestige and benefits you receive.
RULES OF THE RANKING SYSTEM:
Any slave who graduates while ranked in the Top 5 slaves will receive a cash prize of $1,000,000 USD, or the equivalent in their desired currency.
Any master who graduates or departs their position on the island while ranked in the Top 5 masters may choose between two prizes. They may have a building on campus renamed and dedicated in their honor, or they may award master status to one slave of their choice.
Slaves may earn points in three ways: through the required review at the end of each rental, by pleasing Masters enough to be awarded points, and by performing certain actions.
Masters also earn points via the required review at the end of each rental; in addition, they may be awarded points by other masters who witness behavior fitting of their status, or by performing certain actions.
Masters may award points freely to slaves and fellow masters for any perceived good behavior.
While a resident's points automatically determine certain factors such as their access level and eligibility for participation in fraternities, residents may also choose from a selection of perks at each 100-point milestone. These perks will remain theirs until such time as their total points fall below the total at which they were earned.
Masters may deduct points from slaves for bad behavior. They may also deduct points from other masters; these deductions will be reviewed by the administration before acceptance.
Points will be deducted automatically from masters and slaves alike for any infraction that breaks school rules; see slave rules + master rules.

OOC INFORMATION !
IN GENERAL:
You may have seen point systems that rely on OOC factors like activity or completed threads--this is not one of those. Our point system is entirely in character, and how your character progresses in it depends on your wishes and their IC actions.
You have the freedom to choose where your character falls in the ranking levels based on how they behaved and what level you want to play them at.
ON AWARDING OR DEDUCTING POINTS:
To award or deduct points, simply send an IC ask to the character awarding or deducting points and for what reason. You do not need to include a specific point value unless you choose to do so.
EXAMPLE MESSAGES:
Points deducted from Scarlett McKnight for disobedience and disrespect.
Points awarded to Sasha Bell for showing respect to her superiors.
I witnessed Qhuinn Fontenot coddling a defiant slave, points deducted
AUTOMATIC: Points awarded to Emmanuel Reyes for reporting an infraction by a slave
Points deducted from Nova Walker for going out of bounds
Points awarded to Emmanuel Reyes for his advice on how to manage mouthy slaves
ON RENTAL REVIEWS:
Submitting a rental review form is required for both masters and slaves after a rental. Masters should submit TI-001A, Slaves TI-001B.
